Alveo Land launches The Gentry Residences

THE THREE levels of upscale retail shops will house handpicked merchants.

ALVEO Land recently introduced to the media an impressive 43-story structure called The Gentry Residences. This is part of the new masterplanned, multiuse development that includes a premium-grade office building on top of a prominent retail podium comprised of upscale commercial concepts.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architectural and design firm Benoy, The Gentry features a two-tower development—residential and office—with impressive façades that both sit on top of a common podium structure. The retail occupies the first three floors of the development.

The Gentry enjoys a premium address. It is located on Valero Street inside Barangay Bel-Air, Salcedo Village, which is the preferred location of the affluent. It is within the Makati central business district (CBD) and near the Ayala Triangle Gardens, Makati’s urban oasis.

Being both directly adjacent to the prominent Ayala Avenue and within the serene Salcedo Village, this premier location brings unparalleled access to all the city’s major business and social conveniences. Makati CBD’s retail and shopping destinations, recreation and leisure spots, hospitals and health facilities as well as churches and schools are easily accessible.

Rare investment chance

“The Gentry will enable you to own a piece of the Makati CBD,” said Jennylle S. Tupaz, chief operating officer of Alveo, the innovative real estate brand. “A prime location boasting of a strong multiuse concept makes it a rare and exciting opportunity for our clients,” she added.

The opportunity to own a piece of Makati CBD is very rare as the area is mostly built-up and property prices are high. The Gentry offers the chance to invest in a prime property that is located in Makati CBD and Salcedo Village, with a strong multiuse concept.

3 different components

According to Tupaz, The Gentry will feature three different components: an upscale residential tower with 40 percent glass ratio; a premium grade, LEED certified office tower; and a retail podium.

The three levels of upscale retail shops will house handpicked merchants to serve the round-the-clock needs of the residents, the office-goers and the neighboring Salcedo residents.

The integration of the different components will promote a unique lifestyle, making it a new convergence point which will gentrify the neighboring streets in Salcedo.

Each component will have seamless access to the rest of the district, while ensuring security between the private and public spaces.
