The luxury of location

Friday, September 26, 2008

Location is considered more of a luxury in today’s urban living scenario, with escalating land values determining the worth of a city address. The nearer one’s home is to a major business or commercial district, the higher the price of a property. But residing within a prestigious place of address is commensurate to the advantages one can enjoy, notably convenience and accessibility to places of work and leisure – the requisites of an urban lifestyle.

Among such vibrant areas today is the business district of Ortigas, whose central location doesn’t require residents to travel far to get to their desired destinations. However, due to the thriving commerce, properties are likewise pegged at too exorbitant a price for a middle-class worker or young professional to afford. At this rate, they are presented either with expensive serviced apartments and upscale condominiums or unappealing projects that offer smaller spaces and limited amenities.

PTR Properties, an up-and-coming player in the real estate industry, continues its mission to change the property landscape with its third project. After the unprecedented success of Grand 21 Place and The Fifth at Rafael, the company unveils another valuable development that will cater to the needs of young families and driven professionals who prefer a centrally-located home in Ortigas – One Capitol Residential Condominiums.

An Ortigas condo address is now affordable and accessible for this target market of middle-income earners at One Capitol, strategically located at a street that is linked to the major thoroughfares of Pioneer Street, Shaw Boulevard, and EDSA. Situated within the progressive Barrio Capitolyo in Pasig City, One Capitol is just a block or two away from the Ortigas CBD – an ideal residence surrounded by a thriving business and commercial district set amidst the backdrop of a cosmopolitan and highly-urban lifestyle.

“Residing merely blocks away from one’s office means no early morning hassles from driving along horrendous traffic. One can even walk leisurely while not being pressed for time. At the same time, travel is minimal to nearby business districts of Makati, Libis, and Bonifacio Global City.
