Finding fresh beginnings in a new home

A new home is the ultimate reset button to start your 2025.

Not all homes, however, are created equal. Most give adequate shelter, but a few stand out from the rest. A well-designed home will give you the best launch pad to leap toward great heights.

If you’re looking for a place that will help you begin anew, there are a few factors you must look out for in your potential home. From location to layout, here are some elements that you must consider in selecting the best place to live in this new year.

Location

Location, location, location—it’s a mantra commonly uttered by real estate investors when it comes to choosing properties.

Your home should be no different. Before deciding to live in a particular house or condominium unit, consider its location and distance from areas such as your place of work, school and even from malls. An ideal home is one that allows you to walk, or at least drive a reasonable distance, to your frequent destinations. This would allow you to spend less time in traffic and more time doing the things that matter.

Shang Summit, an up-and-coming residential tower developed by Shang Properties Inc., is one such property that exemplifies a strategically positioned home.

Located in Quezon City’s South Triangle, this project puts you near shopping centers, office buildings, and some of the country’s best schools. Despite its urban setting, the area is lined with green features that will allow you to enjoy both natural joys and modern conveniences in one setting.

Layout

Whether you’re looking for a home to suit one or 10 people, it’s essential to look at the possible layouts of your potential home.

Condominiums, in particular, have limited space allotted per unit so it is essential to think through how your furniture would fit in. Would you need a double deck bed or a queen-sized bed in your home? Do you prefer a spacious kitchen setup or a compact cooking area? It’s important to assess your potential home if it would fit all the things you need to function on a daily basis.

Shang Summit, for example, provides multiple layout options for different kinds of users.

Young professionals and simple retirees might prefer the studio, with its generous windows and natural daylighting. The one-bedroom unit, meanwhile, suits young families and couples with its gorgeous balcony, open kitchen and dining area. Lastly, the two-bedroom residence is ideal for multiple residents as it provides expansive space and panoramic views.

These varied layout options allow different kinds of residents to live in the building, creating a rich and diverse community.

Amenities

For condominium projects, amenities or shared community provisions are also worth looking into when considering a potential home.

Don’t just choose a home with gorgeous pools and common areas. It’s important that you choose a home that offers amenities that you will actually benefit from. Fitness centers, children’s playgrounds, and business lounges are some of the most useful places that can help you maintain your lifestyle in a high-rise tower.

Shang Summit, for instance, offers amenities that provide a relaxing and comfortable environment for its residences. A pool with an al-fresco deck, a co-working lounge and a children’s splash pad are some features that would greatly benefit various kinds of users. A fitness center and wellness facility are also provided for those intending to focus on their health. Designed with quality finishes and generous spaces, the amenities of Shang Summit combine luxury and function to ensure topnotch service for all their clients.

Developer

Last, but not the least, you should carefully assess the company behind your potential home to determine if it is capable of delivering on its promise.

Sadly, not all construction projects deliver as advertised. Some don’t even make it to the finish line, or under deliver in terms of quality and service.

If you want to ensure that the delivery of your future home is practically guaranteed, be wise in choosing your partner developer. Choose one that has a proven track record in delivering projects that are of good quality in a timely manner.

One such developer that fits the bill is Shang Properties Inc. (SPI). Having been in the business since 1987, the company is one of the leading makers of prime properties in the country.

Offering office, retail and residential projects to the local market, SPI has an impressive portfolio attesting to its commitment to deliver quality projects. It is the company behind buildings such as The Rise in Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, The Shang Grand Tower, and the ongoing development Shang Summit.

Takeaway

Overall, choosing a new home is an exciting way to find new beginnings.

You must assess prospective choices wisely, however, to ensure that you get what you pay for. By considering the layout, location, amenities and developer profile of your potential home, you will be able to ascertain the quality you can expect to be delivered. To give your family the best place to build their fresh start, invest in well-designed projects such as Shang Summit.
