Not using retaining wall here is an indication of a more solid ground or bedrock foundation. Nice to know that specially with all the earthquake news we have been hearing of late. Mukang matibay ang pundasyon nito.

Now, that is strange.
I remember reading a lot of postings at 8 Forbestown Road thread a year ago from Megaworld Sales agents saying that 8 Forbestown Road is the last residential condominium building adjacent to the golf course at BGC to be built. So now an agent is telling you that One Uptown Road Residence beside 8 Forbestown Road is now the last one? Hmmmmmm...... now, I’m curious what this new plan is, because it is contradictory from what Megaworld Sales agents were saying last year. Mukang matapos nabenta na ang manga units sa 8 Forbstown Road, biglang nag-iba na ang istoria.

Anyone here can elaborate about this One Uptown Road Residence? How many units, how many floors, etc? I'm sure it will be appreciated specially by 8 Forbestown Road investors to hear from those same Megaworld Sales Agents who insisted that 8 Forbestown Road is the last residential condo building to be built here. Come on, redeem your credibilities people.

Is this One Uptown Road Residence rising at the now UCC Coffee Shop?

Given a choice what I would prefer the kind of building to rise here, whether a Hotel, or a Condo, or a Condotel, I think I would prefer a Condo; because it will generate the least amount of traffic and more concerned owner residents than transients. So, I don’t begrudge it if a Condo building will rise here. But it is still detestable for Megaworld sales agents to say something untruthful for the sake of inducing sales.

ChenelynForbesPark · April 17th, 2011, 02:53 AM

Thats what the rockwell land was saying before too. When they sold all of the units at one rockwell that it will be the last residential condo project in the area. Now they are selling edades tower .lol they are still securing the paperworks for one uptown road residences at hlurb and my agent told me that it will be launched before xmas 2011.

There is no surety what the outcome will be because it can still be subject to change. Anyone else has a different opinion on this?

At last, Megaworld finally obtained a permanent license to sell this project. LSN is 24152 issued on 2/10/2011.

ChenelynForbesPark · April 17th, 2011, 04:24 AM

Lol. I think they learned their lesson about obtaining the license to sell first before launching the one uptown road residences and paseo heights in makati cbd.

By U.S. News Agency / Asian

Property developer Megaworld Group, in its disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on Monday, announced its intentions to roll out at least 18,673 residential units with an aggregate floor area of more than 830,000 square meters in 2011.

Megaworld is composed of high-end property developer Megaworld Corporation and its associates Empire East Land Holdings and Suntrust Properties, which focus on medium-cost and affordable housing, respectively.

“The confidence level in the real estate sector is very high,” Megaworld chair and chief executive officer Andrew Tan said.

“Many investors both here and abroad believe that our country is now moving in the right direction, and we see a surge of investments, especially in infrastructure areas, which will open up more growth opportunities not only for the entire economy but also for the real estate industry,” he added.

“Through our investments in the real estate sector, we in the Megaworld Group are helping thousands of Filipinos experience a better quality of life in homes of their
own. Moreover, the group is helping create wealth for the country by developing the business process outsourcing and tourism sectors as new engines of growth,” Tan emphasized.

Megaworld takes the lion’s share of the P60 billion worth of projects the group plans to launch next year with its own portfolio amounting to more than P41 billion with
around 11,110 units and an aggregate floor area in excess of 372,000 square meters.

The company’s new projects include One Eastwood Avenue in Eastwood City; 81 Newport Boulevard and 101 Newport Boulevard in Newport City; Viceroy Residences and two new towers of The Venice in McKinley Hill; additional towers of
Manhattan Heights and Manhattan Plaza at Manhattan Garden City; Paseo Heights in Makati City; The Palm Bay in Roxas Boulevard; and One Uptown Place at Bonifacio Uptown in Taguig City.

Megaworld also expects to complete more than 600,000 square meters of next generation office space for a business process outsourcing market and additional retail space at its ongoing McKinley Hill, Newport City and CityPlace projects as well as the upcoming Bonifacio Uptown and other projects in Iloilo and Cebu.

This will help the company to grow its rental income to P5 billion by 2012.

Meanwhile, Megaworld’s associates, Empire East Land and Suntrust Properties plan to unveil their own residential projects worth P19 billion in Metro Manila and the fastest-growing centers of Cavite and Laguna next year.

These new projects will have a total of 7,500 residential units with an aggregate floor area of more than 466,000 square meters.

Among the projects to be launched under the Empire East and Suntrust brands are new phases of Little Baguio Terraces, Rochester Park, Maple Tree Villas, San Lorenzo Place, Pioneer Woodlands, Cambridge Village and Suntrust Parkview, all in Metro Manila, in addition to Sonoma and Suntrust Sta. Rosa Heights in Laguna.

“We have never been this bullish on the property sector, and we look forward to continued bright prospects not only in 2011 but long after that,” Tan said.

Megaworld is the developer of five pioneering live-work-play-learn communities in Metro Manila, namely, Eastwood City in Quezon City; McKinley Hill, McKinley West and the upcoming Bonifacio Uptown in Fort Bonifacio; and Newport City in Pasay City.

When completed, these five mega-communities will be home to around 48,000 families and 202,000 business processing outsource office workers.

Over the last two decades, the Megaworld Group has emerged as the country’s number one real estate organization with more than 200 residential and office buildings completed with a total floor area of around 5.4 million square meters.

I would be amazed if all these developments actually come to fruition.

ChenelynForbesPark · April 18th, 2011, 01:44 AM

18,000 units just for megaworld alone. If you combine all the condo units from different developers(ayala,rockwell,megaworld,century properties,rlc,smdc,nsjb,filinvest,dmci,vistaland,alphaland,citiland,eton etc) on the pipeline , I think the realestate meltdown will happen anytime soon. Investors should start praying now.

nelly2112 · April 18th, 2011, 01:58 AM

We are totally on the same page bud!

lochinvar · April 18th, 2011, 02:19 AM

I actually told my agent that i'm not getting a condo unit from him anymore the moment I found out that he gave me a wrong information. Plus I am waiting to get a townhouse in the former santa ana race track which will be under alveo.
