Condo Hotels are probably one of the best Real Estate properties one can own. It gives you the vacation Home you desire, and at the same time higher rental income being usually located in a tourist destination.

A condo hotel offers excellent location, usually in a prime spot, excellent returns because of high rental daily rates and excellent maintenance because hotels are obviously cleaned very frequently, so your unit is almost on tip top condition. Properties become higher in value faster when it is a condo hotel.

Would you pay more than P2Million bucks a NIGHT for a vacation in a private island? Maybe common people like most of us wouldn’t, but some ultra rich are willing… Business Week article says so…

 today’s super-rich seem to have no trouble handing over tens of thousands of dollars a month to landlords for a temporary residence.

The Grass ResidencesOriginally uploaded by arellevalla.com

A few years ago, we had a chance to ask Mr. Henry Sy, Sr. what his key to Success was. Im sure there were many factors, but his answer to the question was. “I never stop dreaming.”

He relates further that he started as a business man in Quaipo who dreamed of building a Department store, and it happened.
The he dreamed of building a Mall, like a City, and SM City was built.Then he dreamed of building a Mega (huge) mall, then came SM Mega Mall. Then he dreamed of building the Largest Mall in Asia, and the Mall of Asia was built.

Well, today, Mr. Henry Sy, Sr.a very successful business and among the richest in Asia still keep on dreaming, he has ventured into building PRIME and INNOVATIVE Real Estate Projects. He is probably dreaming of building affordeable and quality dwelling places and retirement homes for the Filipinos, and uniquely designed concepts at that.

He is launching The Grass Residences very near SM City North EDSA. He is probably dreaming that most Filipinos will have a place in the heart of the Metro and yet enjoy a Resort Type Living. Those living in far North, can now own a Condo unit in the Very Accessible North Edsa (last stop of the MRT) and major thoroughfare in Metro Manila via EDSA.

The Grass Residences will boast of 80% open space allocated for Parks, Swimming Pools and Amenities. There is probably no development that gives away 80% for open spaces, imagine having two (2) 3,600 square meter lawns, no wonder it is named The Grass, there is just so much of it, and add to that a 75 meter resort swimming pool.

It would really be a dream come true to have a relaxing place to come home to, where shopping, and family activities are within reach.

We can all SAVE TIME and MONEY living in a place near work and school. Instead of wasting time on the road travelling home, you can spend that time to be with kids, enjoying sports and amenities at the Grass. The Grass will soon rise near SM City NORTH EDSA’s Cyberzone, where a bridgeway will connect them together.

I personally intend to get a unit here…facing the Park! It’s really affordable, Dowpayment is up to 30months to pay interest free, thats about P13,000 monthly, the rest can be via financing at Banco De Oro (no less than SM’s bank, of course).

Let’s be neighbors

White Beach, Boracay’s biggest tourist attraction, stretches some four kilometers on the western side of the island, mostly within the barangay of Balabag. It is largely because of the pristine, white powdery sand of White Beach and the crystal-clear blue water of the surrounding sea that Boracay is often called “the world’s most beautiful tropical island.” read full story here

Balai IsabelleOriginally uploaded by arellevalla.com

How about this view when you wake up in the morning? Lovely isnt?

My friend Ferdie Ocol who is based in Singapore came to show Mr. Sonny Go, a Singaporean and his family some properties because they are moving here next year.

We were invited by Mr. Bhal of Park Homes Realty, lead broker of Techno-Asia ( Balai Isabelle’s Developer) to visit and show several properties to Mr. Go and one is this wonderful place in Talisay, Batangas, Balai Isabelle, upon setting foot here, i knew it is truelly a gem! Very private, very homey, very relaxing!

When you are in the place, you can’t help but sigh, at the site of the very picturisque and refreshing view of the Taal Lake and the Taal.

While having lunch, Ms. Jojo (Techno-Asia executive) shares that just last week, the Alcasid family (of Ogie) who are also from Batangas, spent time unwinding here. There are beautiful Aircon Nipa homes, Ball rooms for parties, Single Detached Vacation Homes and Condotels which are now ready for occupancy.

I noticed that has been a place for Weddings too because of the pictures i saw, and venue for team buildings and outings by large companies such as phamaceutical firms.

Single detached vacation homes by the Lakeshore are as low as P7M only. And a Condotel will soon be launched.

The Philippines is truely one of the best places to live and retire. I say this because accordingly, most of the home owners here are based abroad, particularly the United States.

Btw, aside from the two house and lots (P7.5M each) that Mr. Go is getting in Isabelle Manor, located in Marcelo Green where Lara Quigaman also has a unit, he is contemplating on investing in the Condotel here too when it is launched. And he enjoyed it so much, he is bringing his Singaporean partners to invest here too.
