Cypress Towers boasts of a development that is self-contained, wherein there are lots of open spaces and leisure options within the entire complex. Zoom

MANILA, Philippines - The cosmopolitan business district of Makati and more recently, the trendy urbanization of Bonifacio Global City (BGC), continue to manifest as attractive locations for homeowners, especially professionals working within the mentioned areas. While these central locations offer convenience and accessibility, the escalating price of real estate makes it prohibitive for the middle class market.

Working professionals and starter families with modest incomes, can now find the perfect alternative address, just five minutes away from the BGC and a short drive from Makati Central Business District.

Cypress Towers by DMCI Homes is located along C-5 Road, beside Diego Silang Road. This valuable location pits the property right on top of the list for options that even the middle income earners can afford. Accessible from the area are various important destinations such as Market Market, Ortigas Center, and the NAIA Airport Terminals.

This development also offers more value-for-money features. For one, the price of a studio unit in the prime locations of Makati and BGC will already buy a working professional a two-bedroom unit at Cypress Towers.

Adam U. Trinidad, project director, said that the target market profile is composed of decision makers, majority of which are single or who are about to get married. Currently, they are residing in various parts of Metro Manila, either with their families or renting apartments and condos near their places of work.

“At Cypress Towers, the prices of units are within reach of middle income families, while presenting high-end advantages that can be found in the premier communities of the major developers,” Trinidad said.

Comparatively, similar high-rise developments in the BGC and Makati areas are priced at P80,000 to P93,000 per sqm, with an average of 20 sqm for their studio unit, while a 100 sqm floor area home can be too expensive. Amenities are also basic, and mostly installed on the podium level, which add to the constrictive conditions. At Cypress Towers, condo units are offered for only P55,000 to P60,000 per sqm.
