i agree. the new render is sort of like a combination of Bellagio & Pacific Plaza... one of the best so far from MW, IMO

[animasola]

Anyone know the prices and the payment scheme?

[tHe oPtimist]

i noticed sa rendering na parang walang privacy ang mga maliligo sa pool ng Bel 3 since ang first couple of floors ng lintsak na building na'to ay commercial. input, anyone?

several payment schemes to choose from... I work with Megaworld so if you have questions let me know... As for 8 Forbes there are no promo payment schemes unlike Bellagio...So it will be heavier on the pocket compared to Bellagio...

Price range would be over 100k per sqm.
so one bedroom would be about 6m and up depending on the size and the floor....

[leechtat]

of course it would be 50% sold.. i heard a girl bagged 1.something million worth of sales from 8th forbestown.. (response to your post in qc thread)

edit: 1.something billion.. my bad..

[--SuperB0y--]

you mean 1 billion? since a unit here is 5 million by minimum. hehe.

[leechtat]

correct.. sorry my bad..

If it's indeed P1B and assuming that price per unit is P5M, that's 200 units sold by 1 agent? If her commission rate is 5% then she'll be receiving P50mln in commissions! Whoa!

[laquacherra]

wow, she's a million dollar babe hehe!

[jcb]

sino yung agent na yun? maganda ba? single?hehehe

i think her commision rate is only 2.75% or 3%, she bagged a corporate account.. i know her name.. pero bawal dito, i-broadcast.. haha..

also, the big buyer may have had a LOT of discounts...

[leechtat]

whoah... this project is now selling at 101,000-120,000 per sqm.. and the price along the millionaire's row increases..

[3cr]

Yup just going up and up and up. BeauFort is at P130+/SQM na nga eh. Sobrang mahal na compared to just a few years ago. Lucky talaga the early buyers/investors in BGC. Tumiba na!

[leechtat]

correct!! congrats to early investors!!

The 1 billion sale was done through another broker I believe...so the property consultant plus a broker and it was bought by several clients...but bagged by one foreign broker... so malamang hati sila dun sa 3% commission na yun...

The 8 Forbes scale model just came in yesterday...

Brochures daw sa Monday... so watch out if gusto nyo makita or makakuha ng brochure...

And I heard they have a new promo scheme daw for the non-golf view units... kung bawal lagay yung link dito pakitanggal ng reply ko... thanks...

Koreans buying up condos in Fort Boni

MANILA, Philippines—South Koreans have gobbled up two condominium projects of Megaworld Corp., accounting for roughly P7.5 billion of preconstruction sales.

The two projects that virtually lured Korean buyers were The Venice, the company’s high-end residential condominium cluster in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, and 8 Forbes Town also in Fort Bonifacio.

Megaworld first vice president for marketing, Noli Fernandez said there were commitments in terms of unit volume at The Venice worth P6 billion.

This translates to about 900 of the 1,000 units in the condominium’s initial phase. The total of the condominium is 2,300 units.

Megaworld has also signed a memorandum of agreement with Korean real-estate consultancy MSH Inc. and its affiliate legal advisory firm Philseoul Inc. to attract more Korean investors to set up their businesses and residences within its 50-hectare McKinley Hill township project in Fort Bonifacio.

MSH was established by its president Jung KyungSun to invest in the booming Philippine real estate sector. Philseoul has provided legal advisory services to foreign nationals investing in the Philippines since its incorporation in 2006.

Korean buyers of units consist of retirees and parents of students taking courses in the Philippines.

For 8 Forbes Town, South Koreans have committed to buy P1.5 billion worth of units. This translates to about 120 units out of the project’s total of 570.

Construction of the condominium project will start next year with targeted completion by 2012.

The Venice will be built on a 2.1-hectare site within the 50-hectare McKinley Hill, Megaworld’s largest new township project to date.

Its seven towers have an estimated value of P12.5 billion. Construction is targeted to start next year for the first of seven towers. The whole project may be completed in the next five to seven years.

Average prices for the 31-story The Venice are P3.6 million for a 40.3-square-meter studio, P6 million for a 66.4-sqm, one-bedroom unit, P9.5 million for a 102.6-sqm, two-bedroom unit, and P11 million for a three-bedroom, 119.5-sqm unit.

Megaworld saves the best for last

Friday, July 25, 2008

Property giant Megaworld Corp. is building a trophy that lovers of the game would definitely like to score: the last luxury residential condominium featuring magnificent golf course views of the Manila Golf and Country Club.

Named as a very lucky 8 Forbes Town Road Golf View Residences – the 53-storey modern edifice made of blue curtain glass and steel is the very last project of Megaworld in its five-hectare Forbes Town Center. This new township in Bonifacio Global City offers the longest golf course views at more than half a kilometer.

“8 Forbes Town Road offers investors and future residents this last opportunity to have relaxing views of the golf course greens from their windows and from our luxurious amenities deck. This opportunity must never be passed up,” vowed Megaworld FVP for marketing and project head Noli Hernandez.

Sixteen different amenities are planned at the project’s seventh-floor pleasure zone. An infinity pool seems to stretch out into the golf course. Residents can indulge in water therapy at the outdoor spa and shallow pool with water jets. Landscape and roof gardens make jogging a joy, whereas those who want to achieve wellness can do so at the reflexology path or at the taichi station. Laughter and joy will always permeate the children’s playground.

For more information on 8 Forbes Town Road, please call 815-1888 or visit the Forbes Town Center showroom along Rizal Drive cor. 26th Street at Bonifacio Global City.
