A residential high-rise with such revolutionary innovations as a cutting-edge curvilinear architecture, combinable unit layouts, and a huge amenity area spanning 4,000 square meters is rising at Century City in Makati-a new addition to the roster of next-generation condos introduced in the market by visionary real estate firm Century Properties.
The P4.7-billion project is called The Knightsbridge Residences-the second condominium at the mixed-use development Century City in Kalayaan Avenue. Century Properties affiliate Century City Development Corporation has launched the project following the stellar success of The Gramercy Residences.
Named after the most prestigious district in London, The Knightsbridge Residences will stand to impress as a towering landmark in Makati with a curved structural design by award-winning architectural firm Asya Design Partners, and units covered in floor-to-ceiling glass that will serve as glowing evening attractions called the Lanterns.
Another innovation in the project is the My Pod Concept, or units with "podular" layouts that may be combined to form a 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom unit, with an option to avail of Century's pioneering Fully-fitted and Fully-furnished concept with 5 interior design choices.
Century Properties Managing Director Marco R. Antonio also introduced the project's "Hypersized Amenities"- 4,000 square meters of convergence areas featuring the Living Room, Library, Recreation Room, Pool, Gym, Spa, Dining Room, Children's Playroom and the Observatory.
The Knightsbridge Residences is positioned to attract a wider spectrum of property buyers with its affordable average price of P2.5 million, or as low as P12, 000 a month for a 27-sq. m. studio unit.
"In the tradition of Century Properties, we are again bringing a fresh condominium concept to the market-one that we would like to call the smart and sexy choice-in our desire to further amplify the experience of urban living," Antonio said.
The largest privately-owned real estate firm in the country has also expressed its firm's confidence in the steady momentum of the property industry amid increasing commodity and oil prices.
"The demand for housing remains huge. At present, the housing backlog is still at 4 million units. Demand at NCR alone is at 500,000 units," Antonio added. "Now is actually the best time to invest in real estate because it protects the value of your savings. A real estate investment will always hedge against inflation."
