Brittany: Attractive alternatives for upscale condominium living
MANILA, Philippines - That more people are opting for condominium living is no longer surprising when one considers the numerous advantages of a condo abode. While the conscientious, ecologically attentive consumers will appreciate compact, well-designed, energy efficient and eco- friendly condominiums because these have lower energy requirements and help reduce urban sprawl, even the less environmentally sensitive of us will appreciate the savings derived by retaining a well-designed condo unit. There is also that practical convenience of having someone on call to maintain your residence for you and fix minor problems that come with everyday wear and tear; plus security features that are in place to help you feel safe. Since the developments are most likely located in strategic locations, with amenities built in so that residents have access to a swimming pool, gym and various recreational facilities, convenience is one advantage that is paramount in condo living.
What will differentiate an upscale condominium development from run-of-the- mill properties, however, will have to be cutting-edge architectural design, coupled with meticulous planning and execution, and attention to the smallest details. Apart from the enviable location, luxurious facilities,andsuperiorfittingsandfinishes,an upscale development will feature more spacious, well-thought-out units that the owner can customize to suit his particular needs. An efficient management system is likewise essential to make sure that a property is always maintained in tip-top shape. And thus, a trusted developer should be a primary consideration when investing in a condominium unit.
Brittany has distinguished itself for unique upscale house and lot developments and its specialization in the creation of themed residential properties, is one of the logical choices. It has expanded its expertise from big homes such as those found in Portofino and Crosswinds to premier residential condominiums. The company has a portfolio that “remains unparalleled in the high-end segment of the property sector” so that Brittany “ranks among the top-listed property firms in the country in terms of total assets, earnings and market capitalization.” Notably, the same world-class standards that the company implements in its themed communities are applied in its upscale condominium developments. This is very appropriate as according to property consultant CBRE Philippines, there is no glut in the high-end residential market.
To date, two of Brittany’s exclusive projects — Avant at the Fort and Mosaic in Greenbelt — are ready for occupancy. These developments are testament to Brittany’s philosophy of excellence in condo living.
But what philosophy, exactly, does Brittany follow when it pertains to condominium development? Recognizing that privacy and exclusivity are valued by their high- end clients, a principal consideration for the developer is location. The ideal, certainly,is an area that is considered prime but not congested. Likewise, there is akeen awareness that careful planning is required. Brittany caters to discerning, highly-educated, well traveled and progressive clientele, after all. And thus, apart from the fact that the latest in green architecture (where natural light and ventilation are maximized) are incorporated in the development plan, there is an extra attention to detail when it comes to aesthetics and design. In addition, units are constructed to incorporate luxury and space. The bigger areas built by Brittany are particularly attractive for empty-nesters who have opted for condo living after years of occupying spacious, single dwelling homes in exclusive villages. Green is a way of LivinG in avant at the fort Avant at the Fort is located at the heart of Crescent Park West, Bonifacio Global City, in an area that is fast becoming an important business and lifestyle center in the country. The 38- storey development encourages its residents to “live green” by incorporating ecologically attentive elements in its design. Progressive- minded residents will surely appreciate the pocket gardens and spreads of flora, as well as the structure’s passive cooling systems that include efficiently-designed walls that allow fresh air to pass through. This is high-rise living redefined.
The developer explains, “At Avant, green isn’t just a color. It’ a way of life, a way of thinking. If you’ve primed yourself for change, and know that you deserve the best, now is the time for you to take that step. Start that new life at Avant at The Fort, brought to you by Brittany.” World-class amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center, club house and sauna/steam bath.
