The gateway to Makati's finest

MANILA, Philippines - As the sun ascends back into the horizon, a blaze of azure sweeping across the sky, the metropolis prepares to embrace a brand-new day with vibrant urban buzz that makes city living an experience like no other.

Gregarious urbanites gravitate towards adrenaline-pumping hunts. Carefree individuals pursue relaxing ambience in tree-lined streets, parks and pockets of tranquility. In fact, it is the metro’s array of attractions and activities that keeps even the most jaded person busy and content.

Urban hubs offer a world of possibilities, casting a spell on anyone who sets sights on it. But the lofty ideals of cityscape also offer a dizzying dose of urban headaches, such as traffic, and just recently, flooding. It’s good to embrace opportunities of city living but it is also better to have a new perspective on contemporary living. Today, many people have come to realize the importance of having a home that can keep families safely together during a calamity, out of harm’s way.

The good news is, there’s a condo development in Makati that offers a safe haven that also embraces the diversity of today’s needs, all at just the fraction of the cost! At the heart of Makati City will come to light The Beacon, a resort-inspired residential community that offers peace of mind and convenience for its urban occupants. Once completed, the development will serve as a unique gateway to the city’s businesses, malls and schools while keeping family members close by.

Strategically positioned at the corner of Don Chino Roces and Arnaiz Avenues, this three-tower residential community actually affords its residents the convenience of everything in Makati since it is located within the environs of the central business district. It will also be safe from floods since the condo units are to be placed on top of a podium, thereby guaranteeing ample elevation. An alternate route at the back (along Amorsolo Street) will also be provided in cases of emergency.

This exclusive Makati enclave is also just a 5-minute walk to Walter Mart, which houses a supermarket, department store, cinemas, bookstores, drug stores and restaurants. This ultimate accessibility provides residents’ life’s necessities. Makati Cinema Square, home to a great number of unique shops, is a few steps away. Further down the road is Shop Wise, one of the biggest superstores in Metro Manila.

Some of the country’s best schools — Don Bosco, Ateneo Professional School, and the Asian Institute of Management are also within the vicinity, making it easier for students to never miss their early morning class again — no more tardiness, hurried breakfast, and getting stuck in traffic for the young scholars.

The Beacon is also just a short distance away from the Greenbelt shopping areas and Ayala malls. Residents can now enjoy shopping and dining comfortably, sans worrying about the long route from their homes to the malls as they can go there on foot. Walking to the malls not only benefits the body, it also helps save gas and parking fees.

Walking your way around the city is also an interesting way to explore the city’s streets and discover hidden treasures in the form of small shops along the way. The Ayala and Yuchengco Museums are easily accessible so you can get your dose of history and art without travelling far. Busy executives working in Makati’s central business district no longer need to scamper going to work every day. The Beacon’s unique location affords them the luxury of using inner streets to avoid the dreaded traffic along Ayala, Paseo de Roxas, Gil Puyat and Makati Avenues.

Residents will also find it easy to locate hospitals, churches and other places of worship. Makati Medical Center, Iglesia ni Cristo, Greenbelt and Don Bosco Parish Churches, for example, are well-situated within the community.

In addition, The Beacon’s spectacular location, at the intersection of two main roads, facilitate for a relaxing journey. Commuting around the city is a breeze. Travelling in and around Metro Manila is also trouble-free via the South Superhighway and EDSA.
