    Qualities of a smart condo investment

     

    Now is the best time to invest in real estate.  News on rising fuel and commodity prices and a sluggish US economy may indicate otherwise, but Century Properties managing director Marco Antonio asserts that investing in property may be your best option to safeguard your liquid financial resources or savings.

    “A real-estate investment is a good hedge against inflation,” he said. “The value of currencies may rise and fall, but property values will never go to zero, unlike shares or hedge funds.”

    Antonio recommends investing in residential real estate, such as high-rise condos located in prime city centers where property values continue to appreciate. “Buyers have the luxury at this moment to choose from a wide range of residential properties, and to avail themselves of very competitive pricing,” he adds.

     For those who are looking for a stylish yet practical property investment in Makati, the country’s undisputed premier financial, social and commercial district, Century Properties’ The Knightsbridge Residences may be the smart choice. “It is the product of our extensive research into the features and amenities that the market has been clamoring for,” he said. On the list below, Antonio sums up what makes up a smart condo investment.

    1. Central location. Choose a condo that is situated in a premier city center with continuously appreciating property values, such as Makati.

    The Knightsbridge Residences will be in the smartest location of the metropolis—on Kalayaan Avenue in the heart of modern Makati, and within the fully integrated development called Century City, where dining, entertainment and leisure facilities will be a short walk away, and where you will be minutes away from Makati’s foremost establishments, corporate centers, five-star hotels, banks, schools and malls.

    2. Developed by a reputable firm. Choose a developer with a proven track record and experience, and a premier roster of completed projects. 

    With 22 years in real-estate development, marketing and management, Century Properties has built a solid reputation in delivering prime residential and office projects. Included on its roster of premier high-rise developments is the award-winning Essensa East Forbes; South of Market at The Fort, the country’s first fully fitted, fully furnished residential high-rise; Grand Soho Makati, the only fully fitted, fully furnished condo that offers residents three exceptional design options; Soho Central, the country’s first-ever transportation-oriented residential development; and The Gramercy Residences, the first fully serviced, hyper-amenitized luxury condo in the Philippines.

    3. Fully fitted, fully furnished units. Pioneered by Century Properties, this concept aims to eliminate all the move-in stresses from homebuyers, from getting additional interior designers or contractors, shopping for furniture or appliances to assembling complicated cabinetry. The Knightsbridge Residences carries this highly acclaimed feature, plus five exceptional interior design options.

    4. Hypersized amenities. Look for a condo that will expand your living experience beyond the four walls of your unit. At The Knightsbridge Residences, sprawling convergence areas called hypersized amenities will amplify your enjoyment of home. These amenities include an expansive designer lobby, library and living room, recreational room, gym, pool, spa, playroom, dining room and observatory.

    5. Stylish and affordable. Choose a condo with a sleek but classic building design that will boost your pride of ownership. The Knightsbridge Residences will be a sight to behold with its towering curvilinear architecture and huge “Lanterns,” or levels of units with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that will stand to impress as iconic glass boxes that glimmer at night.

    With the project’s high-design and high-style qualities, plus an affordable average price of below P2.5 million for a 27-sq-m unit, no other offer will stand out as ideal for the smart investor.
