BACK during my college days in De La Salle University, there were a few condominiums within the vicinity. Residents in the Leon Guinto, Taft Avenue area, among others, who had a knack for entrepreneurship, decided to transform their houses to rooms that college students like me could rent bed space. I can still remember my former apartment on Leon Guinto, where I co-rented with my block mate and whose tenants were usually from Pilar, Bataan. I also had the chance to be a boarder in one of the boarding houses located near “The Beach” parking lot. Ahh…Those were the days.
Fast forward to 2013. Nowadays, parent whose children are enrolled in DLSU or nearby colleges and universities in the Taft Avenue, Manila, area make security and safety their number-one requirement for any apartment, boarding house or condominium for their children.
Today’s fast-paced environment undoubtedly influences the needs and wants of city dwellers, affecting their preference when buying a home. Some give much importance to amenities that answer their contemporary lifestyle, while others prefer giving high regard to locations that offer accessibility to work, schools, and even interesting destinations that provide balance to their daily lives.
In some cases, though, there are homebuyers who just want to live in an abode which offers something that’s beyond what a state-of-the-art fixture or proximity to any lifestyle destination offers. It’s having that assurance that they invested in a home that will give them the sense of pride—a functional, tangible outcome of their endeavor.
SM Development Corp. (SMDC) recognized this need when it expanded its footprint on Taft Avenue, Manila, through Green Residences. “It is rare for conservative cities like Manila to witness defining structures that redefine its cityscape, because oftentimes, buildings just complement the character of their location,” shared Grace Manankil-Sta. Ana, project director. “But because SMDC is committed to providing access to luxurious living that gives its residents entry to a cosmopolitan lifestyle, Green Residences is distinguishing itself from the rest in order to excite the urban living experience present in its provenance.”
A 50-story building that towers along an eventful avenue, Green Residences will show its residents a different perspective of the city, as it will offer unprecedented views of the Makati cityscape and even the picturesque Manila Bay sunset scene. And with its intuitively designed façade, its future owners will be welcomed with an exciting sight of a modern home that prides itself with its distinctive aesthetics.
The location of Green Residences is dotted by various commercial and institutional developments, and is in close proximity to areas that present a wide array of lifestyle destinations. It will therefore truly be set in an exciting address that does not only complement the daily life of students, but even the lifestyle of the go-getting denizens and thriving individuals who want to live at the center of convenience that Manila presents. For this reason, Green Residences offers studio units and one-bedroom units for urban dwellers who are looking for a respite that does not take them away from the city’s pulsating vibe.
Furthering this kind of living experience are the Manila Bay one-bedroom unit suites. Located on the higher floors of the development, these living spaces don’t only boast of the magnificent panoramic views that surround its spot but also relaxing breathing rooms above the city’s din. And to answer the basic needs of urban dwellers, areas for retail and commercial spots, amenities like swimming pool, gym and game room, and a social space dubbed as the Sky Lounge will also be included in its blueprint.
“Being a residential development that will rise near Manila’s most sought-after universities,” Sta. Ana noted, “it is already given that Green Residences will serve as a hub for students who want to find their place that’s just a few walks away from their schools. Hence, we designed the Sky Lounge to serve as an extension of the school’s social scene. The study halls and function rooms it will offer will be ideally designed for study sessions, brainstorming activities, and other school activities that require a safe, conducive spot.”
Clearly, Green Residences further reinforces the principles of today’s urbanites in choosing a condo—especially in a mobile and thrilling area like Taft Avenue, Manila. With its unique features that promise to take one’s living experience up a notch in an urban landscape, Green Residences will not only allow its future residents a convenient yet stylish way of life in a contemporary living space, it also gives them the pride of calling an iconic, towering landmark their home.
