The Panorama Manila: The pinnacle of bayfront living at Central Roxas Boulevard

The Panorama Manila is an architectural marvel promising limitless sea to city views.

Central Roxas Boulevard is evolving into a sought after luxury district.

It was one sophisticated affair that gathered the country’s elite brokers and top property experts for an exclusive preview of Anchor Land Holdings’ newest statement in luxury living.

Held at the ultra luxurious Admiral Grandsuites along Roxas Boulevard, the afternoon event offered an exciting glimpse into the future of bayfront living at The Panorama Manila—Anchor Land’s latest landmark residential tower rising along Central Roxas Boulevard.

Hosted by interior designer and celebrated society figure Tessa Prieto, the event—titled “Prospectives: Investment Outlook in Central Roxas Boulevard”—featured esteemed experts namely Andoy Beltran, vice president and head of Business Development and Market Education at First Metro

Securities Brokerage Corp.; Alejandro ‘Andy’ Manalac, vice president of the Chamber of Real Estate and Builders’ Associations Inc. (Creba) and co-founder and chair of Havitas Developments Corp.; Architect Aaron Yu of Asya Design Partner; and Elizabeth Ventura, president of Anchor Land.

Guests were treated to insightful discussions led by industry leaders, unveiling not only the architectural vision behind the development but also the investment potential of owning a premier residence in Manila’s historic and prestigious waterfront district.

A trophy property in a timeless locale

Ventura welcomed guests with a compelling vision of The Panorama Manila, emphasizing its distinction as a trophy asset in one of Manila’s most coveted addresses.

At the preview, she explained how Anchor Land has been helping redefine the landscape of Central Roxas Boulevard, which has long been revered for its heritage, prestige, and prime waterfront location.

Through The Panorama Manila, Anchor Land is offering that rare opportunity to own a piece of history, to live in a luxurious residence within the Philippine capital, and to secure a sound investment that ensures capital appreciation.

“We’ve been at the forefront of transforming what we call Central Roxas Boulevard. We’ve been here since 2008. We’ve already developed three residential properties here…When one lives in one of our units by the bay, you get to enjoy the same breathtaking view of Manila Bay, which people have admired for over a century. It’s the same view that has inspired artists, writers, and visionaries, and now it can be part of your clients’ everyday life,” Ventura said.

“Today, we are gathered in one of our most prestigious residential properties—Admiral Grandsuites, directly connected to the iconic Admiral Hotel. This seamless integration of luxury hospitality and private residences is a testament to our commitment to redefining bayfront living. Here, residents enjoy a true five-star experience—from white-glove concierge service to exclusive hotel privileges such as in-room dining, housekeeping, and spa services. Every detail is designed to bring the sophistication of a luxury hotel into the privacy and comfort of home, creating a lifestyle that no other development in the area can offer,” she explained.

“Now, we are taking a step further with our new project called The Panorama Manila. It will be the latest landmark in Central Roxas Boulevard. The Panorama Manila is more than just a home—it’s an experience with unobstructed sunset vistas… We know that you, as top performing brokers, understand what it takes to close high value deals. You work with clients who expect exclusivity, prestige, and long term value, and The Panorama Manila is exactly that,” she added.

Ventura further stressed that Central Roxas Boulevard is evolving into a sought after luxury district. This, she told the audience, is their chance to present their clients with an opportunity to own a piece of this transformation, of history.

Owning a piece of history

Indeed, this high rise’s allure lies not just in the breathtaking vistas it will offer, but also in its rich heritage, storied past, and increasing modernization—elements that make for a sound real estate investment.

Manalac pointed out that while Central Roxas Boulevard is considered the most prized real estate today owing to its unobstructed view of the bay, this district has been increasingly attracting investors and tourists as it touts proximity to museums, cathedrals and temples, sports facilities, entertainment areas, parks, and heritage structures, among others.

Enjoy the breathtaking view of Manila Bay at the comfort of your home.

This area, he added, is what you call the “road of royalties” as all the presidents, generals, and popes would have to pass this route. This was where the rich and famous went before. It was also where you can find that world famous Manila Bay sunset.

Central Roxas Boulevard is no doubt steeped in heritage, history and prestige.

“Consider your other luxury properties as medals—because this one will be your trophy. Owning a property here is like owning a piece of history,” Manalac added.

A mindful balance

Mindful of Central Roxas Boulevard’s heritage, Asya Design designed The Panorama Manila to ensure balance between historical reverence and modern sophistication.

The goal is for this promising development to pay a fitting tribute to Manila’s illustrious past, while offering homeowners an exclusive retreat in the heart of the city’s most prestigious waterfront district.

The Panorama Manila houses the most prime penthouse units along Roxas Boulevard.

According to Yu, The Panorama Manila embodies a deeper architectural philosophy—the ‘Architecture of Time.’

“What we did, in collaboration with Anchor Land, was try to meet an in between balance. What if we juxtaposed something modern into a space that had a lot of history? Since we have this historical waterfront view, we wanted to take advantage of that and bring it closer and deeper into your units and your livable spaces,” Yu said in his presentation. “At The Panorama Manila, you’re nestled between history and the progress that’s going to happen in the future.”

With its bold design that mirrors the fluidity of the sea and the rhythm of the city, The Panorama Manila is poised to offer residents a rare sanctuary above the urban landscape—an escape in full sight, sound, and senses.

An investment in luxury, legacy

Beyond its architectural brilliance and premier waterfront location, The Panorama Manila also presents a distinct investment opportunity.

As the event’s discussions highlighted, Central Roxas Boulevard is rapidly emerging as a premier luxury corridor, attracting high-net-worth individuals and discerning investors who recognize its unique confluence of heritage and modernity.

In fact, this district is seen to be evolving as Manila’s new investment corridor, drawing comparisons to iconic waterfront developments such as Sydney Harbour, Dubai’s The Palm, and Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong.

According to Beltran, projects like The Panorama Manila are the ones that attract a sophisticated clientele as luxury real estate is deemed “resilient to market volatility.”

He explained in his presentation that this well-heeled market is willing to invest in premium properties that offer quality across all facets of the development. With quality materials, unit owners won’t have the need for constant repairs, which will redound to significant savings over the long term. Quality projects also attract good quality sellers and tenants, who know how and have the capacity to maintain the property.

Because of quality, banks and even insurance companies may likely consider these developments as low risk investments. In fact, sometimes, the terms are more client-friendly when it comes to financing and insurance, Beltran added. Overall, quality offered by luxury real estate would redound to peace of mind and satisfaction for investors and buyers.

Stability, long term gains

This assurance of quality not only enhances the desirability of luxury real estate but also strengthens its position as a resilient asset class, particularly in prime locations like Central Roxas Boulevard. With demand outpacing supply in exclusive waterfront districts, properties of this caliber tend to appreciate steadily, offering investors stability and long term gains.

Manalac reinforced this perspective, stressing that the scarcity of prime bayfront real estate only further enhances its investment potential.

Andy Manalac highlighted how CRB may be the last historic landmark to remain unobstructed in the capital city of Manila.

Indeed, owning a unit at The Panorama Manila secures not just an exclusive address but also a timeless legacy asset, ensuring both luxury and long term value—truly, a trophy property.

“At Anchor Land, we understand that true luxury extends beyond a prestigious address—it’s about crafting spaces that meet the refined tastes and high expectations of the elite market. This is why every detail of The Panorama Manila is meticulously designed to achieve a seamless blend of exclusivity, functionality, and timeless elegance,” Ventura concluded.
