As it is one of the most important central business districts in the country, the Bay Area is bustling with real estate projects: it’s become the well-known site of SM Mall of Asia, the Solaire Resort and Casino; City of Dreams Manila, Okada Manila, and Metro Park.  With foreign investors boosting its growth, the Bay Area is set to overtake Makati CBD by 2021.

If you’re looking into owning a condo in the Bay Area but still aren’t convinced that condo living is for you, take a look at the advantages of living in a Bay Area condo:

The Central Business Park

If you work in the Bay Area, then buying a condo for sale near your workplace saves you from a long commute. A shorter commute means more time for yourself and your family, and condo living ensures that convoluted traffic won’t be a problem ever again!  Federal Land condominiums, such as Mi Casa, are located within the Central Business Park island of Bay Area.

The Entertainment City

On the western side of Roxas Boulevard lies Entertainment City, the Philippine version of the Las Vegas Strip.  Entertainment City boasts four mega-casino resorts with high-stakes tables, a vibrant nightlife, and big-name Broadway plays.

A Foodie’s Paradise

From gourmet food to seaside markets, the bay has a lot to offer to food enthusiasts: there’s Dampa, along the seaside of Macapagal Avenue, where you can buy fresh seafood and have it cooked at nearby restaurants; Sofitel manila offers Spiral, a grand buffet with 21 dining ateliers; a yacht cruise dinner; and a diner with singing cooks and waiters!

Road Accessibility

Mi Casa is between Macapagal and Roxas, the two most traveled boulevards in Pasay City. These boulevards seamlessly connect Mi Casa to other spots in Metro Manila, including the Makati Central Business District, Manila’s University Belt, Ninoy Aquino International Airport, and the upcoming Sangley Airport.

Convenience and Comfort

New condos like Mi Casa have various retail stores on the ground level of the building. If you want a quick snack or a new haircut, head down to the commercial level to find the shop you need!

Safety and Security

For those who prioritize home safety and security, living in a condo is something to consider. Condominiums have secured entry and exit points, CCTV cameras at all common areas, and 24/7 roaming security guards. Some condos also use key cards instead of keys, restricting elevator access to residential floors and ensure the privacy and safety of the residents and their homes.

Resort Amenities

Condo living makes amenities like the pool and gym more affordable and more accessible to most city folk. Why break the bank building a backyard pool or indoor gym when you could buy a condo that comes with one?

Newer condominiums in the Bay Area even have other amenities that complement the stunning Manila Bay sunset. Residents can enjoy lounge pools, the wet play area, the kids’ playground, and alfresco dining. Indoor amenities also include a fitness gym and meeting and function rooms.

Investment Potential

Condos are also a great investment opportunity – they’re easy to purchase and appreciate rapidly. Should you move to another city, you can resell or rent out your unit.

Real estate agency Colliers International Philippines notes that the Bay Area condominiums are among the most sought after and expensive – even going beyond PHP300,000 per square meter.  The demand stems from the influx of Chinese expatriates working in the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) and the city’s rise as Entertainment City.

So, are you ready to pick your condo?

Prime real estate developer Federal Land, Inc. has several condominiums available for pre-selling and ready for occupancy in the Bay Area, Pasay City.  Its master-planned integrated community called Metro Park is home to several premier and luxury condominium properties such as the Bay Garden Club and Residences, Palm Beach West, Palm Beach Villas, Six Senses Residences, and its latest development, Mi Casa.

Mi Casa is a vibrant vertical residence reminiscent of Hawaii’s reinvigorating aesthetic of open sea and air.   With its sparkling water features, resort-like amenities, and island aesthetics, Mi Casa takes you to experience Hawaii’s reinvigorating sense of open sea and air.

It’s also a stone’s throw away to the world-class casino-resorts, upscale malls, event centers, and the offices of the Bay Area Business District. You need only walk to get to work, the grocery, or fine dining restaurants.

GT Tower International, Grand Hyatt Manila and Residences, and the soon to rise, The Seasons Residences, are only a few of the most iconic towers in the Philippines that elicit the sophisticated and luxurious lifestyle that only the privileged few can enjoy. With its crown of 10-story vertical fin, the GT Tower International is one of the most iconic office towers in the Makati skyline. Currently the tallest skyscraper in the country, the Grand Hyatt Manila is a five-star luxury hotel preferred by VIPs all over the world. Considered as the first Japanese-inspired integrated community in the country – soon to rise, The Seasons Residences, presents a slice of the Japanese way of life that people emulate for their simplicity, practicality and efficiency.

These three iconic projects couldn’t have been more different, but there is one thing they have in common – they are all developed by one of the pioneers in the Philippine real estate scene – Federal Land, Incorporated.

Anchored on the values of trust, dependability, and integrity, Federal Land, now on its 47th year, is dedicated to developing properties that are faithful to the needs and aspirations of its residents, and even beyond expectations. Each project is considered a masterpiece, hence in every project, Federal Land brings in the most ingenious architects, most innovative engineers, and most reliable materials to build a safe and ideal home that is unique to the priorities of each person and designed around their life plans.

Trailblazing Projects

As one of the country’s prime movers in the real estate industry and builder of Filipino homes, Federal Land introduces projects that were never before seen and reinvents the standards of project planning, and harnessing its expertise in the development of global partnerships with international brands, that produced the luxurious Grand Hyatt Manila Residences; and the Japanese-inspired, The Seasons Residences.

Launched as a closing highlight to 2018, Grand Hyatt Manila Residences – South Tower in Grand Central Park, North Bonifacio Global City, is a joint venture with Orix Corporation of Japan and the Chicago-based Hyatt brand. The partnership brings to the country not only luxurious residential suites but also the legendary Grand Hyatt hospitality and service.

Grand Hyatt Manila Residences also notably won “Best Luxe Condo of the Year for Customer Service” of The Outlook 2018 by Lamudi: Philippines Buyers’ Choice Property Awards.

Federal Land also launched a $400-million development project in partnership with leading Japanese firms, Nomura Real Estate Development, and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings, Inc. The project envisions to create an integrated mixed use development incorporating Japanese spirit, experience, and technology. The development will have four premier residential towers, The Seasons Residences, and the country’s first Mitsukoshi Mall.

Beyond Structures

Federal Land’s commitment to develop and deliver world-class homes is not exclusive to its luxury and premier residences. Unique and with its own character, every Federal Land project has distinctive features certain to help its residents flourish and reach their full potential.

In Manila, Four Seasons Riviera in Binondo is a riverfront home with feng shui sensibilities to usher good luck into its residences. In Paco, Peninsula Garden Midtown Homes, a kid-friendly garden enclave ideal for starting families, has a heated pool for families to enjoy in the weekends. Strategically within the Manila’s university belt and near Makati CBD, Quantum Residences has a basketball court, karaoke room, business center, and other amenities to help Filipino millennial citizens achieve a healthy work-life balance.

In the Bay Area of Pasay, Federal Land proudly reclaims its status as the real estate pioneer in the Macapagal area with its sprawling Metro Park integrated community and the launch of Palm Beach West Residences. Residents of Metro Park enjoy the convenience of having an open park, a couple of malls, several office towers, and a college within its own township.

In Quezon City, Federal Land designed The Capital Towers for people in need of a home office in a highly strategic location of the central business district.

In Marikina, Federal Land’s Marquinton Residences, Tropical Garden City, and Siena Towers are built with the strongest materials and innovative engineering so these condominium towers can withstand earthquakes.
In Cebu, Federal Land developed the first branded residence, Marco Polo Residences, where residents enjoy hotel-living with the hotel a la carte services and beyond the usual amenities from the five-star Marco Polo Plaza.

The Legacy Continues

This year, Federal Land is set to rise with more landmark projects that will add prestige to the evolving skyline of the country. In the emerging Bay Area business district of Pasay, Federal Land will introduce Mi Casa, a vibrant vertical neighbourhood reminiscent of Hawaii’s reinvigorating aesthetic of open sea and air. Its first tower, Hawaii, brings in Hawaii’s modern tropical paradise streamlined for Filipino contemporary living.

In the Makati Central Business District, Federal Land partners with SM Prime Holdings to bring in the world-renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners to develop an ultra-luxury condominium project. The project, called The Estate Makati, is set to be to be the crowning jewel of the Makati skyline and is expected to put the Philippines on the map of modern architectural marvels.

These are clear testaments that we remain true to the promise of Federal Land to the Filipino people.

As what our former Group Chairman, Dr. George S.K. Ty, would say, “Federal Land started with a simple dream. The dream to build a great home for each and every person.”
