For discriminating real estate investors, one premium condominium development stands out — Bristol at Parkway Place by Filigree, the new gold standard in luxury real estate in the country.
Bristol at Parkway Place is worthy of the investor’s consideration. In fact, since launch, Bristol’s investment value has improved. Its units’ worth has steadily increased owing to Filinvest City’s growth trajectory, providing early investors returns of up to 30 percent.
“As residents steadily make Bristol at Parkway Place their home, they can already enjoy a return on their investment,” said Kate Ilagan, Filigree head.
“With its strategic location, highend features and amenities, it possesses all the high value attributes that make it a remarkable property asset.”
Embodying central living, the 40-storey building is situated at the gateway of Filinvest City in Alabang, a masterplanned central business district that continues to transform the landscape of Metro South with its land values more than doubling in the last five years.
Filinvest City also bares the distinction of being the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED-certified business district in the country, thereby cementing its status as a future-proof, greenoriented community.
Filinvest City’s benchmark-setting increases in land value may be attributed to continuous construction and completion of office buildings, resulting in the influx of corporations locating in the Metro South.
Another factor is the ease of access to the city due to the Skyway. Soon, travelling from the Metro South to North and vice versa will be made hassle-free with infrastructure projects like the NLEX-SLEX Connector Road via Skyway and the North-South Rail Commuter Railway.
The unit offerings make it an even more desirable and most valuable real estate investment for Filipino entrepreneurs and expatriates alike. Bristol comes with aptly-sized and thoughtfully designed one-, two-, and three-bedroom units — ranging from
Ever Group of Companies subsidiary Everscapes recently unveiled its latest development, Calle Bistro – a new lifestyle strip along Commonwealth Avenue poised to become a home away from home for families and groups on the lookout for an exciting food and beverage adventure.

Stores that have opened include Starbucks, Gerry’s Grill, ELM’s Kapihan and Bar, Hap Chan and Macao Imperial Tea.

Its ground floor is dedicated to specialty stores that make it convenient for residents to shop and dine. Almost everything a resident desires is an elevator ride or a short walk away: restaurants, retail outlets, and other essential establishments.
Backed by Filigree’s commitment to deliver its projects on time and without compromise, Bristol at Parkway Place has already started turning over units in the first half of 2018.
Indeed, it may be the best upscale real estate investment today as it takes luxurious, central living to new heights and offers residents great value for their money.
“Homeowners in the Metro South are now embracing the condo living lifestyle and the luxury and modern conveniences it brings,” Ilagan continued. “No doubt, Bristol at Parkway Place is becoming the top-of-mind choice for those seeking only the finest and most valuable in upscale, high-rise residential projects.”
