Cypress Towers

September 9, 2009

The business district of Makati and more recently, the urbanization of Bonifacio Global City (BGC), continue to attract homeowners, especially professionals working within those areas. While the locations offer convenience and accessibility, the escalating price of real estate makes it prohibitive for the middle-class market. Working professionals and new families with modest incomes, can now find an ideal alternative address, just five minutes away from the BGC and a short drive from Makati Central Business District.

Cypress Towers by DMCI Homes is located along C-5 Road, beside Diego Silang Road. This location puts the property right on the list of options that even middle-income earners can afford. Accessible from the area are various important destinations such as Market! Market!, Ortigas Center, and the NAIA terminals.

This development also offers value-for-money features. For one, the price of a studio unit in the prime locations of Makati and BGC will already afford a working professional a two-bedroom unit at Cypress Towers.

Adam Trinidad, project director, said that the target market profile is composed of decision makers, majority of which are single or who are about to get married. Currently, they are residing in various parts of Metro Manila, either with their families or renting apartments and condos near their places of work.

“At Cypress Towers, the prices of units are within reach of middle-income families, while presenting advantages that can be found in the premier communities of the major developers,” Trinidad said.

Comparatively, similar high-rise developments in the BGC and Makati areas are priced at P80,000 to P93,000 per sqm, with an average of 20 sqm for their studio unit, while a 100 sqm floor area home can be too expensive. Amenities are also basic, and mostly installed on the podium level, which add to the constrictive conditions. At Cypress Towers, condo units are offered for only P55,000 to P60,000 per sqm.

“Because of its value-for-money features, Cypress Towers has emerged as the preferred address of young urban professionals and families working in BGC, Makati CBD, and Ortigas Center. Its first tower, Belmira is now home to more than 100 individuals and families, most of whom are young professionals and balikbayans,” Trinidad noted.

He added that the second tower, Celesta, is nearing completion, ahead of its scheduled turnover by February 2010. Common area amenities like the swimming pool and al fresco dining area have also been completed and now being enjoyed by the residents. A substantial area of the entire development now thrives with open spaces, contemporary architecture, bridgeways and pathways – all enveloped within lush greenery to soften the concrete structures.

Trinidad also cited the strong sales performance of Cypress Towers, which is evidenced by the sold-out status of Belmira, with Celesta now catching up at more than 80 percent. Altiva, which was launched only this year, is also witnessing a rapid selling pace, particularly due to its reasonably-priced studio units that are attracting young professionals.

Residents also get to enjoy first-rate building features, such as the unique pinwheel architectural design of the buildings that allows the natural flow of light and ventilation into the structure anytime of the day.

Other building features include single-loaded corridors, uninterrupted power supply, underground water cistern, ample parking spaces, hotel-like lobbies, link bridges that connect the three towers, 24-hour security, and high-speed elevators.

Resort-like amenities are scattered throughout the complex to provide recreation and leisure options for residents. Soon-to-be-completed are the podium amenities at the fifth floor of Celesta Tower such as spa pool, children’s playground, and podium park with landscaping and gazebos.
