Shopping – according to a recent study, this is where most urban professionals in Asia spend their money. What remains from their retail sprees go to dining out or going to bars.
But while buying a new pair of stilettos or purchasing a chic sports jacket is rewarding, Black Hern – an investor and risk advisory associate from a financial consultancy firm – reminds emerging corporate executives to start looking for a home to put their money in. Robert Lao, Assistant Vice-President of Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company, also recommends that they should seriously consider investing in a residential property of their own. Backed by their Ayala Land heritage and being the real estate company behind some of the most innovative in-city projects today, Alveo Land is a trusted developer committed to deliver as promised, despite what the economic environment is – a quality neophyte homebuyers should primarily consider.
“The past years have seen an exponential increase in residential options but the young market should be discerning enough so they may reap the fruits of their investment in the future,” says Lao. “The first step is to seek out a trusted real estate company who understands their needs from the ground up – just the right space and with an ideal mix of amenities and a location that is suited for their dynamic, fast-paced lifestyle.”
A perfect example of this is Senta. A 39-storey residential tower, Senta offers upscale living suited for future industry honchos. And to help budding executives choose a home that fits their needs, Senta presents the following tips that neophyte homebuyers should live by:
Size Matters
Space is an important factor in choosing a home. For starters, you might one want to look into a studio unit for a cozy bachelor’s pad or a chic maiden’s nest. But if you want an extra nook to convert into a mini-studio or a personal workstation, a one-bedroom condominium is the way to go.
Catering to these diverse demands, Senta features studio and one-bedroom upscale residential units with sizes ranging from 32 square meters to 62 square meters. Options for two-bedroom units are also available for those looking for a bigger abode. All these employ a streamlined and classy design with an open layout so homeowners can express their individuality in their homes. These are also equipped with basic condominium features like smoke detectors, audio intercoms, tapping points for telephone lines and air conditioning provisions to ensure comfortable and convenient living.
The L Word
Location is another significant consideration that ascending urban achievers should bear in mind in scouting for their first residential investment. Different studies have found out that people living far from their workplace greatly affects productivity because commuting or traveling contributes to stress. Living in an area that makes a well-rounded lifestyle within reach is also an advantage. Location also dictates whether a property will gain value for the coming years so it is vital that you choose a home that is within major or potential growth centers.
Set to be a landmark in the upscale Legazpi Village, Senta will rise a few steps from the global retail experience offered by Greenbelt. It will also be within walking distance from Makati Central Business District’s top commercial and corporate offices. Places of worship, art centers and other worthwhile destinations will also be within reach. And of course, there’s the Sunday Market and various quaint and novelty shops that is unique to Legazpi Village.
A-List Amenities
Contrary to old thinking, amenities are not just nice additions. Junior executives need something within the comforts of their own home that will enhance their everyday lives especially that they are in a dynamic phase of their careers.
This is why Senta has put together a well-thought-of mix of indulgent amenities that create a holistic living experience. From its museum inspired lobby, concierge services, its podium amenities that include a pool with an outdoor theatre, to a private roof garden, Senta is a vibrant address where the upwardly mobile can fulfill every facet of their personality.
Getting Ahead of the Pack
nowing these tips, it's time for emerging urban achievers to start searching for their first home. Investing in a property from an established developer that is committed to finishing what it started like Alveo Land’s Senta, cements a living experience defined by class, power and ultimate comfort for years to come.
