Francis,
Kung 270 degree views malamang 3 sided windows (dual corner) yung end units ng Seibu (just like Metropolitan's Skyloft corner units) at mukhang yung 3 bdrm units lang nila ang may 270 degree views sa aking palagay.

Thanks Thomasian and 3cr on your inputs, I'll take those into consideration when I make my final decision.

3cr is correct, only the 3 bedrooms will have the 270 degree views.

The project offers "softer" payment terms (compared to other FBGC projects)kaso my apprehension is the developer's track record.

Francis20 · March 28th, 2006, 02:12 PM

so the windows will make 3br units have 270 deg view?

kala ko parang Shang. or maybe like One Rockwell. Kita mo sunrise at sunset.

Yeah, the Seibu's price and size cut are very similar to GW projects,and even the bank escrow scheme. I think...i read it somewhere that they are related..a family of architects. I'll go for Grand Hamptons if the unit prices are very close to its twin,and it may have bigger cut since they max out the corners. I hope GW's folks are lurking and throw me in a free parking slot...ang kapal ba.(biro lang)

Apparently Gilbert Yu and Albert Yu is not the same firm. I was mistaken in my last post in assuming this. They are far relatives and do exactly the same thing (and apparently the same taste in design!). Anyway actually looks pretty generic to me too.

Dvorak · March 29th, 2006, 04:11 AM

hmmm so why name it Seibu tower?? is it related or being funded by Japan's Seibu Department store?

3 bedrooms 118.58 sqm - P 5.8

With these quotes, can Seibu be considered to be one of the lowest priced projects in FBGC? Turnover is Dec 2008. I was told that this is a co-development concept, with an escrow agreement placed with Equitable. Guys, is this similar to G&W Architect's projects (Grand Hampton, Kensington, Pernhurst, Hampton) and SOMA?

I am currently in the market for a 1 bedroom pre-selling unit and I am quite interested with this project. However my main concern is the developer's track record and reputation. Would any one know if they have a good track record?

By the way, guys, I don't know if this is the proper forum to bring this up, but I would appreciate your opinion. I've narrowed my choices only in FBGC. With similar price points, I have shortlisted my choices to the following: 1) The Seibu Tower, G&W Architect's 2) Grand Hampton and Robinson Land's 3) McKinley Park Residences and 4) Fifth Avenue. I would appreciate if you could give me your recommendations/suggestions on which project to purchase. Thanks!!!

neighbor HYPE...tnx for providing the prices of Seibu...all i could say is WOW

...i was really way way way off, thinking this is a hi-end proj...anyway, that's interesting---i'm beginning to really like it as a 3br (which really caught my attention) is really affordable...i mean, really? that's the price? i like the floor plan, and it has a nice flow---i don't care how it looks like outside as i would spending most of my time inside anyway...i mean, c'mon---if you would buy a condo unit bec it is an architectural wonder, how many minutes a day, really, would you stand on the ground outside,try to look up and appreciate its design over and over again?

but your unit itself, yes, that's what i believe in: it shld have a nice flow, interior design-wise, ample space, serves you right 24/7... this is only my opinion, as i value space (bedroomssss) first than anything (family-wise), like i would buy an SUV with a 3rd row seat than a 2 seater sports car with the same price---but everybody has different needs and cravings, ika nga...so...
anyway, going back to condo investing, i would prefer MPR, tatawa na naman si 3CR, alam na alam ang pagnanasa ko in this project,hahaha! but since affordability is also my concern aside from space (bedroomssss), then Seibu is a good alternative...

3cr · March 29th, 2006, 05:20 AM

Mmmm naku mukhang meron talagang mapapabili sa MPR ng di-oras...Anong say mo mare lapit na bang bumigay sa pinagnanasahan?... Hehehe...

it's just like those midget skyscrapers.. it must be some kind of masterplan, or just FAR regulations that there have been 3-4 high-rises of the same height and design around that BGC area?

Edmundtanso · March 29th, 2006, 09:16 PM

seibu sounds so zen like design but it is not at all, the name just sounds good

ishtefh_03 · March 30th, 2006, 03:46 AM

saw it in archikonst na asya design partners ang nag design nito...

macky · March 30th, 2006, 05:22 AM

very Chinese design ang exterior ...but i like the interior...parang opisina ang dating.

Oh, same arch. firm as Mayfair Tower.

My broker just sent me some information about SEIBU it looks good but nothing fantastic. He is sending me a CD with the presentation this week.

The exterior is not so bad but what's good is the interior, my broker said that it's not furnished but it looks like it's interior decorated (drop ceilings, lightings,) you get what you see from the pictures except the appliances and furnitures.

Another thing that's good is that there are only 10 units per floor, so it's low density and the turn over date is Dec 2008. They also have flexible payment schemes as long as it ends in 3 years.

The price is very good but like 3cr I'm not so sure about the location and the view.

KiBeN · March 30th, 2006, 03:47 PM

Seibu is a simple building, pero it's ok na rin to be placed in FBGC, additional to the skyline...

I agree with you Kiben...had i not bought a unit at Hamptons, i'll definitely put this one on my top list because of its affordability and cut size...especially the corner 3 bedroom.....damn!!!

midsunset92 · March 31st, 2006, 05:16 AM

Seibu's 3 br corner unit looks so right! i think very attractive talaga yung interior design nila especially (ang kulit ko) yung sitting area sa master's! dumadami tuloy nagse-second thought...ako din, kung di pa ako nakaka-invest, i might get this...and of course, 3CR, ang walang kupas na MPR, hehehe!
