WHAT MAKES a condo unit a “good buy”?
Affordability, proximity to workplace, as well as comfort from having additional amenities are among the major considerations that may cross the mind of any prospective buyer, especially the young urban professionals, who are seeking to have his or her first major property investment.
For top selling real estate developer SM Development Corp., its recently launched Jazz Residences—the company’s first residential project in Makati—can offer all these. It also provides potential homeowners a unique perspective of the city.
SMDC vice president and project director Grace Sta. Ana told Inquirer Property that the vision of real estate titan and SMDC chief executive officer Henry Sy Jr. was to put up affordable decent homes, with generous spaces.
1 Unique scenery. “We created this high-quality condominium to revitalize the Makati hub. Along with the flourishing institutional and commercial establishments that the resurging area is known for, this residential development will allow more people to get a slice of this prime Makati lifestyle area,” Sta. Ana added.
Jazz Residences, she stressed, can offer its future residents with an unobstructed view of the new prime Makati.
Designed by architect Albert Yu of Asya Design, Jazz Residences will feature four towers that stand tall on a five-story podium that will be devoted to commercial establishments, while one floor will be for the amenities and garden sprawl.
Sta. Ana disclosed that Tower D will be completed within the second quarter of 2013; Tower C by the first quarter of 2014; Tower A, third quarter of 2014; and Tower B—which is tagged as the best tower among the four because it has the best view of the property’s amenities—will be completed within the first quarter of 2015.
With 40 levels for residential spaces, buyers can choose units ranging from furnished mix studio (16-20 square meters) to one-bedroom (23-27 sq m) and two-bedroom (36-40 sq m) units.
2 Proximity to Makati CBD. This high-rise development will be put up within the 2.5-hectare lot bounded by N. Garcia and Jupiter Streets, providing accessibility to main roads such as Buendia, Kalayaan, Ayala and Makati Avenues.
SMDC plans to construct a special bridgeway connecting Jazz Residences to Salcedo for “maximized convenience, rendering the location of Jazz Residences closer to the city’s business hub.”
This bridgeway is also expected to help ease the traffic in the area and enable Bel-Air residents to have better access to the Makati central business district.
“Traffic will further be eased with a loop road built-in to Jazz Residences and two extra car lanes along Jupiter and N. Garcia from a reduction in its lot area,” the company added.
3 Ease in financing. What further makes the Jazz Residences a good buy is the availability of an attractive financing scheme, with its 0-percent downpayment and a monthly amortization of only P8,500-P10,000 for the studio units priced at P1.5 million to P1.8 million.
A one-bedroom unit would cost about P2.1-2.4 million with a monthly amortization of P11,700-13,400, while a two-bedroom unit would have a monthly amortization of P18,400-P20,000.
Sta. Ana said its current tie-up with Banco De Oro will make it even easier for prospective buyers to own a unit at Jazz Residences, which will allow them to have access to upscale hotel services.
4 Hotel-like and other amenities. Meanwhile, the 1.7-hectare amenity podium is reminiscent of five-star hotels. It has a four-lap swimming pools and two kiddie pools, a fitness gym, mini theater, children’s playground, jogging paths and landscaped gardens all ready to cater to the leisure needs of this Vertical Village.
Function rooms are also available for the use of its tenants.
To do its share for the environment, Sta. Ana also noted that the development will feature towers that have natural ventilation because of open walkways and corridors, as well as a lot of open spaces, thus reducing its energy consumption for lighting and airconditioning.
Jazz Residences will likewise have its own mini SM Mall, complete with an SM Hypermarket. The entire second floor meanwhile will be devoted to the Jazz Residences business center.
Outside the development, lining the vicinity of Jazz Residences is a bevy of stores that offer musical entertainment, artistic spaces and exhibits and a plethora of dining establishments that revitalize the Bel-Air district.
“We have seen the Bel-Air side of Makati thrive as lifestyle establishments continue to paint the area. With Jazz Residences, we are rewarding young professionals who work in the city’s business district to live in the kind of community that they deserve: upscale, progressive and environmentally responsible,” Sy added.
