Crown Asia Residences builds condos across the metro

Manila, Philippines -  What does one look for in a home? In an urban setting where time is better spent on productive pursuits, it is all about location, location, location! A beautiful house in an inconvenient area cannot be appreciated at its fullest, especially if a regularly tedious commute drains all sense of enjoyment of home ownership.

Likewise, a jewel of a house surrounded in a sea of squalor may cause the homeowner to be an object of envy and the target of petty crime. Moreover, with climate change and flooding in certain parts of the city being more common, the astute home buyer should consider a house where he will be safe. Thus, condominium living becomes an attractive option for more people. But because home ownership entails a substantial investment representing the culmination of many years of hard work, a trusted developer with a long history of delivering on its promise should be a primary consideration when buying a home.

For those who prefer condominium living, the developments by Vista Residences Inc. are worth considering. Vista Residences is the condominium development arm of Vista Land & Lifescapes, which is at the forefront of community development as the country’s largest homebuilder. From 2006, Vista Residences condominiums built in accessible and attractive sites have been a top choice for those who favor the convenience of living in a multi-level development. Currently, Vista Residences has numerous projects under the Crown Asia residences brand, that caters to the upper-middle income market segment of homebuyers.

A successful melding of old and new with Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack

What is most notable about this development is that Vista Residences has taken pains to incorporate what could be considered a historical home in the development plan.

Laurel in its entirety, the structure has been carefully incorporated to play a key element in this newest condominium project.

Residents of Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack will soon be able to share a sense of history and enjoy the Laurel mansion in its new incarnation as the grand lobby connecting the development’s three towers.
