Exploring ‘The Art of Fine Living’
There was a time when those looking to purchase a condo in the metro had one requirement in mind: location.
After all, condos were usually considered halfway homes, to be used during the workweek just so professionals, families and students could be near their places of work and schools and avoid the grueling daily commutes.
Laundry list
These days, however, everyone has a laundry list of key features when choosing a condo. Buyers today no longer regard these residential towers as secondary homes but rather as long-term investments.
Condos have also become an extension of how someone lives, so now potential condo dwellers also agonize over elegant finishes, purposeful and first-class amenities, security, and even exclusivity.
Location remains a priority, of course, with many buyers eyeing condos that are situated right in central business districts—or at least a stone’s throw from one. These residential high-rises are at the upper price point, sure, but nothing beats being close to offices, schools, restaurants, essential shops and major transport routes.
The modern luxury buyer, however, expects more than proximity. They also count on exclusivity and privacy, a building that is visually impressive, a unit that feels delightful to come home to, top-tier amenities that allow residents to pursue a well-rounded lifestyle and a property that offers one hundred percent safety and security.
Freedom to live your way
Laya by Shang Properties and Haraya Residences are two up-and-coming residential communities in Metro Manila that aim to tick every box in the modern luxury buyer’s list.
Located in Barangay Oranbo, Pasig City, Laya by Shang Properties is designed with young professionals and starting families in mind. The 67-story residential high-rise allows ease of access to the metro’s favorite shopping destinations, corporate offices and educational institutions.
Living up to its name, Laya by Shang Properties’ units come with an open floor plan, which gives the homeowner the liberty to design their space however they please.
The in-house amenities are a mix of spaces where residents are free to pursue their passions and the lifestyle they have always aspired to. These features include a fully equipped fitness studio, swimming pools for kids and adults, a library and workspace, a game room, a children’s playroom and landscaped lush gardens.
Vertical gated village
Haraya Residences, meanwhile, is situated at the heart of Bridgetowne Estate that spans the border of Pasig City and Quezon City.
A joint venture of Shang Properties Inc. and Robinsons Land Corp., Haraya Residences is designed to be a vertical gated village where residents enjoy the convenience of condo living while having the advantage of exclusivity that one only gets from usual gated communities.
More than its unique concept, Haraya Residences goes beyond the typical condominium layout. Each unit is built with a loggia, a covered, open-sided extension of the home inspired by Italian architecture. This covered outdoor area affords homeowners an extra space in their homes where they can lounge, dine al fresco or even cultivate a small garden.
