Choosing a condo for investment is not an easy decision to make. After all, there are several options on the market, each better than the last. If you are interested in the Bay Area, then a Mi Casa condo is your best bet to grow your investment. Here are five benefits of buying and investing in Mi Casa at Metro Park.

The Luxury of Resort Living

Mi Casa brings in the modern tropical paradise of Hawaii into Filipino contemporary living. With its sparkling water features, lush greenery, resort-like amenities, island aesthetics, and the Manila Bay sunset, Mi Casa takes you to experience Hawaii’s reinvigorating sense of open sea and air. You will feel like you are on a 5-star vacation on an island while being at home.
For a close community life, Mi Casa has thoughtfully designed spaces that evoke Hawaii’s love for gathering. There are various swimming pools, barbeque area, kid’s playscape, fitness gyms, function rooms, library, movie room, and lounges. Residents can host barbeque parties, movie nights and play dates all within a neighborhood that embraces the sun, wind, and sea.

The Prestige of a Federal Land Inc. Condo


Mi Casa is Federal Land’s first Hawaiian-inspired condominium community. To capture the character and aesthetics of the popular island destination, Federal Land partnered with top design firms such as the Callision RTKL and AIDEA Inc. for the architecture’ Chat Fores Design Studio for interior design; and CREARIS for the landscape.

Founded in 1972, Federal Land has since developed over 55 large-scale projects that redefined the key areas of Metro Manila, Cavite and Cebu. Federal Land is best known for its many iconic developments GT Tower International in Makati, Marco Polo Residences in Cebu, Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, and the upcoming Norman Foster luxury condo The Estate Makati.

The Convenience of Metro Park Community

Mi Casa is part of the Metro Park community, a sprawling 36-hectare master-planned community in the business district of Bay Area, Pasay. Metro Park is a modern and vibrant community home to deluxe resort residences of Bay Garden Club and Residences, Six Senses Residences, Palm Beach Villas, and Palm Beach West; stylish shopping centers of Blue Bay Walk, and Met Live; PEZA-accredited office towers iMet BPO; spacious event centers of Le Pavillon and Le Parc; elite Nursing school Manila Tytana Colleges; and a pet-friendly park – all set within the emerging Entertainment City.

With a workplace, mall, school, and park just a stone’s throw away, a balanced live-work-play lifestyle awaits residents looking to live the good life.

The Accessibility of a Strategic Location

Though it is located on the western coast of Metro Manila, Bay Area is set in a strategic location that can easily access the important places of the metropolis. Bay Area is near the central business districts: Makati, Ortigas, and Bonifacio Global City. The universities along Taft and España Avenues are also just a short drive away; while the theaters at Cultural Center of the Philippines and amusement rides of Star City.

Travel to and fro Bay Area is also convenient with numerous roads and skyways connecting the area to the rest of Metro Manila. There is the Metro Manila Skyway System, Manila–Cavite Expressway or Coastal Road, C5 South Link Expressway, NAIA Expressway, Macapagal Boulevard, and more. Mi Casa is also near the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Port of Manila, providing more convenient transportation between the other destinations in the country.

The High Return on Investment

Colliers International Philippines projects that the Bay Area will be among the most in demand and expensive condominiums for sale that will go beyond PHP300,000 (USD 5,700) per sqm. The high demand and the subsequent soaring price can be attributed with the influx of Chinese expatriates working in the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) and the rise of Bay Area as the entertainment capital of the country that houses four major casino resorts: Solaire Resort and Casino; City of Dreams Manila; Okada Manila; and Resorts World Bayshore.

Based on the other residences in Metro Park such Bay Garden Club and Residences and Palm Beach West, the prices per square meter has risen exponentially over the years. In 2017, Palm Beach West is worth around Php 212,000 per square meters; which rose to Php 312,000 per square meter in 2019. That is a 47% increase in just two years.

“The best thing about investing in a Federal Land condo is its quality. I know I can resell or lease at high market value because its value is justified. The community is in a great location, the amenities are well-planned, and the unit itself spacious and wonderful,” shares one of the Federal Land condo investors.

Driving along Roxas Boulevard around Parañaque area, I noticed several constructions projects going on. I wonder if there would be another mall or hotel in the area. Then I wonder why there are several casinos around Manila Bay Area? Is it because it is near the airport? Is the Manila Bay sunset truly that glorious?
Going online, I discovered surprising answers.

I found out that back in 2007, the government-owned and controlled casino operator Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has planned the eight-km2 land along Manila Bay to be a Philippine version of Las Vegas featuring VIP casinos, world-class entertainment, designer brand shops, fine dining restaurants and affluent residential communities. This tourism center would be called the Entertainment City.

Well, duh. Of course, the Manila Bay sunset is that glorious and more! See, the government is building a city as grand as this sunset.

Bay Area vs. Macau

Sooner or later, Bay Area would rival Macau and other gaming hotspots in Asia. And I believe Bay Area’s Entertainment City would have the upper hand. You see, while gaming might be a forefront to the Entertainment City, PAGCOR has mandated each casino resort to dedicate at least 20,000 square meters of retail space and fine dining and provisions to thematic attractions worth at least $20 million.

Entertainment City boasts four-mega casino resorts, several condominium communities, amusement parks, big office spaces, quaint strip malls, big-name Broadway plays, a rotation of international concert artists, and excellent resorts with the glorious Manila Bay sunsets as their backdrops.

Thanks to this mandate, I was able to bring my young cousins to City of Dreams’ DreamPlay as a reward for their school achievements. Two weeks ago, I brought my sisters to The Theater in Solaire to watch the award-winning Broadway musical, Lion King. Mother’s Day weekend, I took my Mom to date, watched the dancing Fountain of Okada Manila, then wined and dined her in one of Okada’s premier restaurants. Hooray!

Since there is an airport a stone’s throw away, Entertainment City could also be a jump-off point to other premier tourist destinations in the Philippines such as the Eighth Wonder of the World Banaue Rice Terraces, white beaches and sunken ships of Palawan, surfing adventures in Siargao, the perfect cone Mayon Volcano and many more.

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport makes Entertainment City accessible to the world, while the topnotch entertainment, plus the glorious sunset, makes those miles worth it.
