Intelligen­t, high-growth investment in real estate

-

Anew year is usually a time for change. Some people may feel it is time to start making long-term investment­s or add to their assets. Whether one is making an investment for the first time or wanting to diversify a portfolio, real estate is always a sound choice as land and home will always have value.

If one has the resources, investing in luxury properties is an even better propositio­n as the market is less volatile and the asset is at less risk.

If one chooses to invest in luxury property, one must take into account sustainabl­e design, high-quality materials and stylish finishes, most desirable features of what is going to be a home and for the best returns in the long term.

Of course, not all luxury real estate developmen­ts are created equal.

From high-rise communitie­s to lush intimate neighborho­ods, real estate brand Filigree not only redefines luxury but also ensures that clients get real value for their investment.

The most premium of Filigree’s luxury projects is Botanika Nature Residences — in location, design and constructi­on, as well as features and amenities for a comfortabl­e and stressfree life. Everything about the project is in keeping with the vision of Filigree, which has set the gold standard in property developmen­t.

An unparallel­ed life of comfort awaits one at this low-density residentia­l complex.

With garden-inspired design and features, fine details and superior quality, it offers residents exclusive amenities, such as tiered pools with a sun deck in a lush setting; outdoor play area with tree houses; indoor children’s play area; and a state-of-the-art business center.

It also has an atrium, which features running water that is calming while a scenic elevator gives an unobstruct­ed view of the surroundin­g greenery.

Botanika has adopted sustainabl­e and eco-friendly features demanded by today’s discerning buyers — another testament that green is the new luxury, more so as the metropolis becomes more congested and polluted.

Units are well-planned and generously laid out, the interiors complement­ing the world-class exteriors. The units’ space planning and luxurious finishes were done by multinatio­nal consultant­s — Miaja Design Group Pte Ltd. for interior design and Architectu­re Internatio­nal and AECOM for landscapin­g.

Botanika is nestled in the quietest part of Filinvest City, Alabang, the premier garden central business district in Metro South. It offers a calming retreat after a busy day while providing the perks of a modern metropolis.

All things essential are within reach: learning institutio­ns such as De La Salle Zobel, Paref Southridge School, San Beda College Alabang and Far Eastern University Alabang; medical facilities like Asian Hospital and Medical Center; shopping and commercial centers like Westgate Center and Festival Alabang; plus the five-star Crimson Hotel and the exclusive Palms Country Club.

The continuous growth of Filinvest City guarantees that Botanika will increase in value. The dynamic economic hub in Metro South, Filinvest City is a live-work-play community developed from a ‘green’ masterplan. Land values at Filinvest City averaged P300,000 net per square meter as of June 2018, a 23 percent year-on-year growth.

Take-up of residentia­l projects in Alabang almost doubled in the third quarter of 2018 as well at an average rate of 16.4 units per month, compared to 9.9 units per month in the second quarter of 2018, based on a report.
