SOME people may feel it is time to start making long-term investments or add to their assets. Whether you are making an investment for the first time or wanting to diversify your portfolio, real estate is always a sound choice as land and home will always have value.
If you have the resources, investing in luxury properties is an even better proposition as the market is less volatile and your asset is at less risk.
If you choose to invest in luxury property, take into account sustainable design, high-quality materials, and tasteful and stylish finishes, most desirable features of what is going to be your home and for the best returns in the long term.
Of course, not all luxury real-estate developments are created equal. From stunning high-rise communities to lush intimate neighborhoods, real-estate brand Filigree not only redefines luxury but also ensures that clients get real value for their investment. The most premium of Filigree’s luxury projects is Botanika Nature Residences—in location, design and construction, as well as features and amenities for a comfortable and stress-free life. Everything about the project is in keeping with the vision of Filigree, which has set the gold standard in property development.
Impeccable features
An unparalleled life of comfort awaits you at this remarkably low-density residential complex. With garden-inspired design and features, fine details and superior quality, Botanika offers residents exclusive amenities, such as tiered pools with a sun deck in a lush setting; outdoor play area with tree houses; indoor children’s play area; and a state-of-the-art business center. It also has an atrium, which features running water that is calming while a scenic elevator gives an unobstructed view of the surrounding greenery.
Botanika has adopted sustainable and eco-friendly features demanded by today’s discerning buyers—yet, another testament that green is the new luxury, more so as the metropolis becomes ever congested and polluted.
Units at Botanika are well-planned and generously laid out, the interiors complementing the world-class exteriors. The units’ excellent space planning and luxurious finishes were done by multinational consultants—Miaja Design Group Pte Ltd. for interior design and Architecture International and AECOM for landscaping.
Desirable location
Botanika is nestled in the quietest part of Filinvest City, Alabang, the premier garden central business district in Metro South. It offers a calming retreat after a busy day while providing the perks of a modern metropolis. All things essential are within reach: learning institutions, such as De La Salle Zobel, Paref Southridge School, San Beda College Alabang and Far Eastern University Alabang; medical facilities like Asian Hospital and Medical Center; shopping and commercial centers like Westgate Center and Festival Alabang; plus the five-star Crimson Hotel and the exclusive Palms Country Club.
The continuous growth of Filinvest City guarantees that Botanika will increase in value. The dynamic economic hub in Metro South, Filinvest City is a live-work-play community developed from an impressive “green” masterplan. Land values at Filinvest City averaged P300,000 net per square meter as of June 2018, a 23 percent year-on-year growth.
Take-up of residential projects in Alabang almost doubled in the third quarter of 2018 as well at an average rate of 16.4 units per month, compared to 9.9 units per month in the second quarter of 2018, based on a report from Santos Knight Frank.
Sales of Botanika units remain brisk with Tower 1 now fully functional and ready for occupancy with only a few units left. The price per sq m has been increasing since the property opened its doors and is expected to rise further now that Botanika is also available for leasing.
