Getting that Makati address

MANILA, Philippines - Makati City is reported to have a population surge during the day, no doubt due to the millions of people who flock to it from all directions to work in its glitzy high-rise buildings. Come dusk, however, many of those millions retreat to their homes in the suburbs simultaneously, thereby causing heavy traffic. If only these mid-income workers have residential options in Makati, then their quality of life will thereby improve.

One such option exists: San Lorenzo Place, the first and only transit-oriented project in Makati City today. It is conveniently located across the Magallanes MRT station, thus making the Makati central business district and any point of the metro accessible to residents within minutes.

“Members of mid-income families prefer working in Makati City because it gives them better career opportunities. With the affordable prices and monthly payment schemes of San Lorenzo Place, it also gives them residential options. Suddenly, that Makati address you are aiming for is quite attainable, for as low as P12,300 a month for a 1-bedroom unit. That’s owning a unit for the price of a condo rental,” noted Empire East Land Holdings Inc. president Anthony Charlemagne Yu said.

Whether you have a family or remain single for now, San Lorenzo Place gives you the best vantage point possible. Its location at the corner of EDSA and Chino Roces Ave. means top schools like Don Bosco, Assumption and Collegio de San Agustin are nearby. So are the country’s top business graduate schools: AIM, Ateneo and La Salle. Ayala Ave. plus its offices and malls are just a few intersections away.

The amenities on offer at San Lorenzo Place make it a stylish address as well. The sixth-level play deck features a swimming pool, children’s pool, tennis court, outdoor spa, clubhouse, playground and landscaped jogging path. Residents can exercise and relax during the weekends so that they will be up and ready for the challenges of the week ahead.

A retail arcade on the property’s first three floors will take care of the whole family’s needs. Among the tenants expected here are fast food outlets, dry cleaning shop, convenience store and banks. “These services are vital to keep the pocket community of San Lorenzo Place vibrant,” according to Yu.
