Starting out any endeavor brings a complex mix of emotions. Enthusiasm is sometimes coupled with anxiety; excitement comes with a bit of the nerves. But for those who truly rise to the challenge, the desire for success is always bigger than any uncertainty.
Led by a passion to prove themselves and triumph over difficulties, many would find it best to keep their eyes on the prize. For instance, for those just beginning to join the workforce in Metro Manila, that can translate to living in spaces near their workplace, sparing them from the dreaded traffic nightmare. Those beginning a family would want proximity to different institutions and enough space for the quintessential loving home. The ones looking to buy property to possibly earn some passive income would opt for those in prime locations and those that assure them of high quality and longevity.
DataLand Inc. has got all these considerations covered with two residential offerings that prime owners for success: The Silk Residences in Manila and The Olive Place in Mandaluyong City.
Ode to urban living
In Sta. Mesa, DataLand offers an ode to urban living with The Silk Residences. It is a two-tower, 40-storey masterplanned condominium that promises a fusion of quality, comfort, practical design and value.
The building has four types of units, measuring between 23 to 72 sqm. The 389 studio units have enough space for a bed, living room, dining area, kitchen, and toilet and bath. There are 69 one-bedroom flex units consisting of a master bedroom and a space that can be converted from a living area into a sleeping room, ideal for those who are frequented by family and friends. With the same floor area are 63 two-bedroom units, which can be co-living spaces for three to four individuals, perfect for small families, students and coworkers. For those who want greater space and privacy, The Silk Residences also has premium penthouse units.
All the units have interior designing, homogenous floor tiles, smooth cement painted finish, a provision for the kitchen range hood, granite countertops, a stainless kitchen sink, ceramic tile flooring for the toilet and bath, a floor-to-ceiling measurement of 2.4 m, among others. Residents get access to a grand lobby and a retail arcade, limited parking slots, a function room, an indoor game room, a gym, garden, a lounge, jogging paths and pools.
The Silk Residences is located along Magsaysay Blvd. cor. Santol Street, near universities, churches, hospitals and government offices. It is accessible to Quezon City, the cities of Makati, San Juan and Mandaluyong, as well as the Manila districts of San Miguel and Sampaloc.
Heart of the metro
At 407 Shaw Boulevard meanwhile is The Olive Place, a mixed-use, two-tower haven in the heart of the metropolis.
On Tower 1 are the regular studio, premier studio and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 24.32 sqm to 69.47 sqm. Floor areas are wider on Tower 2 as sizes of regular studio units stand at 27.93 sqm; one-bedroom units with balcony at 39.17 sqm; and two-bedroom units with balcony at 76.74 sqm.
For all units, floor-to-ceiling height is 2.4 m. Similar to The Silk Residences, units here all have homogenous floor tiles, smooth cement painted finish, kitchen provisions, and premium finishes for the toilet and bath. Among the project’s shared amenities are pools, gym and sauna, jacuzzi, game room, yoga deck area, greenery, social hall and library room.
The Olive Place is located within the Shopping Capital of the Philippines, most certainly an enticing draw for those who are fond of going to the malls. It is also a few minutes away from Ortigas Center in Pasig, Makati central business district and Bonifaco Global City in Taguig.
Workmanship and innovation come with the DataLand name. Established in 2011, the company broke into the affordable market segment seeking to shake it up. With such a raison d’etre and projects that departed from the homogenous and tired options of competitors, the company quickly became a trusted name in the real estate industry.
Also noteworthy to mention is the fact that DataLand is the property development arm of DDT Konstract Inc., a long-standing, reputable ‘Quadruple A’ construction firm.
Specifically for residences, DataLand makes sure to meet a special standard: the “Five Ds.” This means that addresses are built in Desirable locations, with Delightful amenities. The Deal is real, too, meaning people get the bang for their buck. To take care of upkeep, all the projects come with a Dedicated management team. The DataLand Seal of Quality meanwhile further assures unit owners that the buildings where their homes lie are built to last.
These criteria only assure buyers that the residences, like DataLand’s commercial, hotel and leisure projects, reflect the “quality beyond the basics” mantra of the company.
Indeed, The Silk Residences and The Olive Place are testaments to DataLand’s commitment to a homeowner’s success, to those who dwell in the metro to go beyond the basics and step up, to win in life and to eventually make a mark.
