Makati City undoubtedly remains unrivaled in its prestige and allure. Renowned as the premier financial capital of the Philippines, this vibrant metropolis continues to be an aspirational address for many owing to its economic vitality, state-of-the-art offices and commercial hubs, exclusive neighborhoods, vibrant social scene, and cultural landmarks. Over the decades, multinational corporations and financial institutions have flocked to its central business district to establish their headquarters, while discerning individuals seeking a lifestyle of refinement and convenience have opted to build a home in Makati City.
A powerful statement
Today, that prominent distinction of a Makati address remains unchanged.
After all, owning a piece of property in Makati City does not only give its owners and investors stability, long term appreciation, and resilient growth. A Makati address has also become a powerful statement of success and achievement—an embodiment of the sophisticated lifestyle, status and opportunities that come with it.
This is why this up and coming 50-story enclave in one of the most luxurious quarters of Makati City has sparked strong interest among buyers and investors. Rising on the last available parcel of land along Ayala Avenue, The Estate Makati will offer the privileged few unrivaled grandeur in its well-appointed residences, lavish amenities and iconic architecture. It will be developed jointly by SM Development Corp. and Federal Land Inc., and will have on board multi-awarded British design and architectural firm Foster + Partners to craft distinctive living experiences for the well-heeled market.
The Great Last
The potential of The Estate Makati is undeniable especially since it’s the last valuable piece of available residential property along Apartment Ridge. Besides having a powerhouse team undertaking this project, The Estate Makati, more notably, touts a highly premium location—its most valuable asset that can bring a wealth of benefits for future residents and investors.
Since it will rise within the Makati CBD, The Estate Makati accords future residents convenience, prime access, a high potential for capital appreciation while enjoying the privacy, serenity and comforts of a home. All these can contribute significantly to the desirability and attractiveness of the property.
As it is, property prices continue to rise, showcasing the resilience of real estate as an investment. Data from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’s Residential Real Estate Price Index (RREPI) showed that as of the third quarter of 2023, nationwide residential real estate prices across various types of new housing units grew by 12.9 percent year on year. More so within CBDs like Makati, prices and capital values are expected to rise.
Exceptional address
What further distinguishes The Estate Makati as an exceptional address is it’s home to many firsts: The first collaboration between SM Development and Federal Land and the first project of Foster + Partners in the country—the genius behind the global architectural landmarks today. This collaboration between the developers and Foster will introduce a groundbreaking architectural concept that prioritizes heightened flexibility, privacy, convenience, and efficiency.
Its cruciform design presents a unique perspective on urban living as it provides flexible homes that offer utmost privacy, convenience and expansive city views.
Because of its unique building design, all units are essentially corner units; with 180 to 270 degree views of the Makati skyline. Each unit also boasts its own private elevator lobby; essentially allowing each unit owner to own the floor. Each unit has been thoughtfully designed to be fully customizable and flexible. Not only are they column-free, they also feature the double-slab technology that allows the owners to conveniently customize their spaces.
For that distinctive living experience, three amenity floors will provide an array of recreational, wellness, and social spaces catering to the most discerning tastes. Residents will get to enjoy best-in-class facilities and premium concierge services.
Indeed, Makati City has maintained its distinction and prestige as both an address and a destination. And no doubt, The Estate Makati is one exceptional development that’s out to redefine luxury living in the Philippines.
