The discerning ones, those who deserve to live in the best possible way – past unnecessary inconveniences and concerns—will find everything they seek in the full-service, luxury amenities condominium. Thus, the well-earned popularity of the hotel-residential developments that offer indulgent comforts and support.
Real estate developer Federal Land Inc. is accompanying its luxury five-star Grand Hyatt Manila hotel with a two-tower Grand Hyatt Manila Residences to present the full advantage of the famed international hospitality brand. Designed to bring hotel-like living at its finest, Grand Hyatt Manila Residences is the first residential condominium in Southeast Asia carrying the esteemed Grand Hyatt distinction.
Prestigious Address
Located in the city’s most prestigious address, Grand Hyatt Manila Residences South Tower sits in the 10-hectare master-planned community of Grand Central Park, a master-planned community developed by Federal Land in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Inspired by the vibrancy of New York, Grand Central Park offers a cornucopia of chic stores, themed restaurants, nightlife flashpoints and special events.
Grand Hyatt Manila Residences South Tower is in good company with the famous Japanese department store MITSUKOSHI—the first in the country—at the neighboring The Seasons Residences; and an upscale but intimate retail area called The Shops at Grand Central Park. Even its address on 8th Avenue corner 35th Street is similar to how streets are named in Manhattan.
Its site is accessible to multinational companies, financial institutions, St. Luke’s Global City, The Medical City Satellite Center, embassies, international schools and De La Salle University Rufino Santos. The place is a short walk to St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church and other lifestyle destinations.
Its other advantage is proximity to the new BGC-Ortigas Center Link’s Kalayaan Bridge, the main artery linking BGC to Pasig, which cuts down the travel time between both business districts to 15 minutes.“Our company has always been committed to building dynamic and integrated communities based on global benchmarks and high standard of hospitality. Merging the hotel living with everyday comfort and security to one’s home is what makes Grand Hyatt Manila Residences a cut above the rest,” Says Federal Land president and chief operating officer Thomas Mirasol.
Hotel services
Residents who prefer the stay-at-home lifestyle can take the full benefit of the famed Grand Hyatt hospitality. Daily concerns can be addressed by the concierge, housekeeping, laundry, errands, car wash and even mi nor repairs. They can also avail of the hotel’s wide range of culinary delights for in-residence dining, as the hotel is right beside the residential tower.
The chef from The Grand Kitchen or No. 8 China House can whip up a meal in their kitchen while the staff can arrange the table with a special flower arrangement. Since the hotel follows exacting health protocols, residents can feel safe visiting the Florentine for a cup of coffee or savor the sunset views at The Peak. Residents can also have the convenience to book elegant function halls for their celebrations or business rooms to hold meetings.
Moreover, every unit owner is automatically granted a two-year Globalist membership, the highest level in the World of Hyatt loyalty program. Members can earn points for availing of hotel services and redeem rewards such as dining credits, spa sessions, and room upgrades.
Premium design and engineering
Grand Hyatt Residences South Tower is cladded with an arresting wraparound glass façade that can withstand high wind pressure typhoons. Yet, it keeps the building cool by buffering the harsh sunlight through its double-glazed windows.
With a strong design team of Casas & Architects as the architect of record and engineering consultant Ove Arup Partners, residents can expect a building with structural integrity. These firms adhere to the exacting international standards of Hyatt.
Each of the 188 units is customized with premium finishes. The spacious layouts include tall ceilings, walk-in closets, operable floor-to-ceiling windows to allow natural light, engineered wood flooring in the bedrooms, quartz kitchen counters, natural stone bathroom countertops, generous storage space, European-branded kitchen appliances, and Japanese washlets. Three-bedroom condominium units are furnished with a Gaggenau show kitchen aside from the service kitchen. A Japanese luxury refrigerator will be installed in select units. Premium fixtures and luxe comfort extend to the toilet and bath, with the master bathrooms to have Japanese washlets.
Each unit is built with a balcony that faces either the cityscape, Manila Bay or Laguna de Bay. Luxury of space. The condominium units come in 120- to 143-square meter two-bedroom designs, and the three-bedroom plan, ranging from 205 to 394 square meters, some of which includes a den and a private garden.
The low-density condo means only a small number of tenants occupy the floor, allowing owners to indulge in the luxury of space, exclusivity, and security. The low zone floors have eight units, the mid-zone floors have four units, and the high zone floors only have two units to a floor.
The tower also comes with its own set of amenities such as a covered whirlpool for relaxing, a children’s pool and a 25-meter heated lap pool. Kids can run around the play area while teens can chill in the game room with virtual entertainment. Residents can pump iron at the state-of-the-art gym or loosen up at the yoga room.
Those who wish to avoid the Metro Manila traffic can arrive in style via the helipad on top of the Grand Hyatt Manila Residences South Tower.
High Investment Potential
The ever-changing upscale neighborhood increases the condominium’s investment value year by year. In a Colliers report, pre-pandemic residential property value averaged to Php 229,000 per square meter in 2019, a 129% growth compared to the Php 100,000 per square meter in 2009. Rental growth is not far behind at 39%, with rent rising to approximately Php 835 per square meter in 2019 versus Php 600 per square meter value in 2009.
In all, Grand Hyatt Manila Residences stands for exceptional services, expansive views and a global-standard lifestyle that’s different from anywhere else. The condominium’s prime and centralized location will put its future dwellers in one of NCR’s most sought-after places.
