ASMARA: LOVE EXPRESSED IN A PERFECT, DELICATE BALANCE
WHEN purchasing a property, consider the number one rule in real estate: location, location, and location. Identical properties can increase or decrease in value depending on location. The area where the property lies matter to buyers. But more often than not, there are trade-off s.
Homes located in the heart of the city can have easy access to vital destinations but with it comes the disadvantages that go with the typical metropolitan experience. Choosing homes in the suburbs and living far from the maddening crowd may bring peace and quiet but that benefit always comes at the expense of accessibility. The compromise seemed like an ironclad rule up until now.
Noted community developer Suntrust Properties, Inc., a whollyowned subsidiary of property giant Megaworld, now says people can have both the accessibility of living at the heart of the city and the simple, romantic charm of suburban peace and quiet at the same time. The perfect, delicate balance between these two elements is set to happen in Suntrust Asmara, a new Suntrust address that is steadily rising at the vital artery of Quezon City, on E. Rodriguez Avenue.
SERENE CRADLE AT THE HEART OF THE CITY
Asmara—meaning “love” in Indonesian— is a three- tower condominium community with a lowdensity design complete with all the conveniences of city living. The project’s accessibility to centers of health, education and leisure make it a community that is very easy to fall in love with.
The 33 - s to rey development evokes a modern contemporary style that combines resort- like amenities with the unrivaled proximity to reputable schools, excellent medical institutions and the exquisite delights of the restaurant row along Tomas Morato Avenue. While the site of the development in the middle of the action is a unique, marketable value proposition in itself, Suntrust Properties envisions Asmara to be an enclave away from the bustle and stress.
With an accessible address, Asmara is the gateway to all the best that the Metro has to offer and will connect residents conveniently to a wealth of nearby retail and business hubs, namely; the Greenhills Shopping Center, TriNoma, Waltermart E. Rodriguez, Robinsons Magnolia, SM Megamall, Araneta Center, Quezon City Sports Club, Shangri-La Mall, Megamall and the Ortigas Business District.
For those concerned about education, the immediate vicinity hosts several learning institutions, including Trinity University of Asia, St. Joseph College, St. Paul University, De La Salle University Greenhills and Saint Pedro Poveda College. Healthcare institutions like St. Luke’s Medical Center, the National Children’s Hospital and The Medical City are also nearby to provide essential and emergency medical services. The Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine is also within easy reach.
COMFORTABLE CITY LIVING
A low-density project in an eight-hectare sprawl of prime urban land, Suntrust Asmara boasts plenty of living space and facilities for recreation and relaxation. To enhance the quality of life and provide modern and luxurious living experiences, Asmara’s set of amenities comes complete with a 20-meter lap pool that crowns the various facilities ˆ of the gated, exclusive neighborhood. It also has a lounge, a kiddie pool, paved sunbathing deck, outdoor shower and changing rooms, children’s play area and day care, zen garden to de-stress and meditate in, function rooms for special occasions, a gazebo-type multi-purpose area for community events, a jogging path so residents don’t need to go elsewhere to exercise, a secure gate and round- the- clock guards on duty at the guardhouse. This full range of amenities await residents and their guests when they enter the master- planned community of Asmara.
A unique feature of Asmara is the Sky Garden, a three- storey- high green space that integrates natural plants into the façade of the residential towers for an even more heightened sense of serenity and peace. This urban vertical garden is an additional feature that offers a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of busy city living – an easy retreat and breather for the residents. It also highlights the “clean andgreen living” ambiance that many city dwellers look for after a hectic day. This ecofriendly feature also promotes energy conservation by allowing natural light and fresh air to flow freely along the various units, thereby minimizing condo homes’ electricity costs.
AN ADDRESS SECOND TO NONE
Apart from having a delicate mix of accessibility, serenity, modern features and amenities, the prime location of Asmara makes for an ideal property that fulfills the promise of a peaceful, elevated level of living. Set for turnover in the fourth quarter of this year, buyers can choose from a studio unit, a two- bedroom unit, and a three- bedroom unit, all of which contain the same sophisticated yet aff ordable luxuries that are made available through flexible payment terms.
With an address that proves it is second to none, Asmara is complemented by superior property management and security services to ensure 24/7 protection of your loved ones and your investment property, twin elements of a tranquil and worry- free living. Surely one cannot help but say, “Asmara is love!”
