A city’s secret oasis
If there’s one thing many of us miss while living in Metro Manila, it’s the sight of greenery. While some of us are fortunate enough to have a garden in our backyards or on our balconies, the truth is that vegetation is an occasional treat in the metropolis. Due to the limited and expensive cost of land in the city, plants and trees are rare sights especially in bustling districts.
What if we were to tell you, however, that there is a vast parcel of greenery that lies smack in the middle of one of Metro Manila’s busiest cities? And that there is actually an opportunity to live right next to this urban oasis, supplied with world-class amenities, for those willing to take the plunge and grab the chance?
Let’s explore one of Metro Manila’s best kept secrets—a home surrounded by lush greenery in the middle of a busy city. It’s Shang Residences at Wack Wack, a place that just might be your oasis in the middle of the urban jungle.
HOME ON A HERITAGE SITE
Located in Mandaluyong City, Shang Residences at Wack Wack is situated next to the historical Wack Wack Golf and Country Club.
The golf estate, which has been around since the 1930s, was established by American entrepreneur William James Shaw in support of a Filipino caddie who was ostracized after winning the 1929 Philippines Open Tournament. Back then, racial discrimination against Filipinos was rampant in the predominantly American golf clubs. The Wack Wack Golf and Country Club was built to contradict this unjust treatment, resulting in the eventual acceptance of Filipinos in the international sport.
Today, the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club is considered a world-class golf course. The 1977 World Cup was held in its East Course. People continue to flock to this historical landmark, which also witnessed several golf plays by former President Manuel Quezon Sr. and a near-successful assassination attempt of statesman Jose P. Laurel Sr.
AN IDEAL SETTING
The vicinity of the golf course provides an ideal setting for residences in the city. This premise was recognized by Shang Properties Inc., an affiliate of Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts. The company’s expertise in hospitality design led to it conceiving the idea of a resort-like condominium that offered lush experiences and comfortable amenities to its consumers.
Currently undergoing construction, the project is in its pre-selling stage. The condominium is set to provide luxurious comforts against the adjacent golf club’s natural surroundings, enabling future residents to enjoy a balanced mix of nature and modernity in one of Metro Manila’s most in-demand locations.
