Grass Residences: a condominium oasis in the heart of Quezon City
Posted by Jun on February 26th, 2012
In my September 2010 post, I discussed the advantages of living in a condominium. If you haven’t read it yet, I strongly suggest that you do so before you continue reading this post.
Living in a condominium is not for everyone. Condominium living is fit for those people who value time and convenience the most. Problem is, not all condominium projects enable their residents to save time nor do they offer much in terms of convenience. Thus, careful assessment of a condominium project’s offerings and features is essential if you are to make the most of your investment in a condominium. (more…)

Posted by Jun on December 12th, 2011
In the October 18, 2011 issue of the Manila Standard Today, it was reported that Robinsons Land Corporation of taipan John Gokongwei bought 2.85 billion pesos of properties, for land banking, in several places, including one in Malabon City. Land banking is the practice of buying properties for future use or buying land without any current definite plan on what to build on it.
So far, Robinsons Land Corporation (or RLC) is the biggest real estate developer to invest in what could possibly be the biggest property development in my home city. And this makes me wonder… Why?
Malabon City has earned the unenviable reputation of being The Flood Capital of Metro Manila.
It has 21 barangays and most people who do not live in Malabon think that the entire city is flood-prone. That is not true. There are at least four barangays that remain generally or partly flood-free regardless of how heavy the rain is, and that includes the barangay where I live – Tugatog (which means zenith or apex in English) – the highest elevated barangay in Malabon. The others are Barangays Acacia, Tinajeros and Potrero. (more…)
Is the condominium boom in Metro Manila a sign of a healthy Philippine economy?
Posted by Jun on November 24th, 2011
September of last year, I wrote about what I perceived as a condominium boom in Metro Manila. For several weeks, I perused the newspapers and listed down the condominiums that were being advertised. I stopped counting upon reaching almost 200 condominium brands in Metro Manila alone. More than a year later the trend continues. (more…)

Posted by Jun on July 22nd, 2011
I just received communication from the coordinator of a developer I am accredited with enumerating a number of their upcoming condominium projects. The materials I received were clearly for internal use only and are not supposed to be shown to the public yet.
The information I am about to disclose are done purely through my own initiative. Moreover, the information I am about to reveal are not meant to sell the project as it won’t be for sale until October of this year. This is purely for announcement purposes and is meant to probably give you time to think about what might possibly become one of the hottest selling condominium projects around. (more…)
Portovita: a new condotel in Cubao, Quezon City
Posted by Jun on July 9th, 2011
Once the country’s premier shopping and entertainment destination, Cubao was overtaken by Makati in the 1980’s.
Currently, Araneta Center, Cubao’s commercial hub is undergoing a rebirth with so many modern developments taking shape therein. All these are meant to bring the place back to its former glory.
One thing Cubao is well known for are the various modes of transportation in the area – the confluence of the MRT 3 and LRT 2 at the intersection of EDSA and Aurora Boulevard and the various bus and FX terminals plus the availability of so many taxis and jeepneys that puts one at the center of important destinations both near and far. (more…)

Posted by Jun on June 26th, 2011
On February 25, 2010, I wrote about Manosa Properties’ project – Lantana Lane Townhome Community in New Manila, Quezon City. It’s a low density boutique townhouse project consisting of just 14 units on a 3,171 square meter of flood-free real estate. In that post, I emphasized that the company is a real estate development manager, NOT a developer.
This post will discuss the tremendous savings and sense of security that a home buyer gains by investing into a project of a real estate development manager (or simply, development manager) like Manosa Properties compared to that of a traditional developer. Other project related issues will also be discussed. (more…)
