In the Philippines, real estate properties such as condominiums like Anchor Land Holdings’ SoleMare

Parksuites are viewed not only as providing a house but also as an investment for the future or even a source of income. Investing in real estate involves the primary factor of location.

Aside from accessibility surrounding establishments also define real estate value — from the quality of schools and shopping centers to additional places for rest and recreation such as churches and parks.

SoleMare Parksuites is the first residential development in Bay City, a nourishing reclamation project of

about 1,500 hectares which houses the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Office of Consular Affairs (OCA), ASEANA Powerstation, BlueWave, S&R, and the Manila Doctors College. It is also located near the SM Mall of Asia Complex where the Shrine of Jesus is located, as well as the SMX Convention Center, and One E-com Center.

“We are the first to realize the value of Bay City,“ said Elizabeth Ventura, ALHI VP for sales and marketing. “It was a risky decision but we pushed through with it because we predict a bright future for the area. Soon, Bay City will become one of the busiest places in the metro.”

ALHI commissioned the country’s best architects to match the strategic location with structurally appealing units. “We carefully planned the design of the residential towers to ensure that beyond general aesthetics, each unit reflects the lifestyle of its future occupants,” Ventura said.

The functionality of each unit is also unique. ALHI provides units that could be readily combined with adjacent rooms, maximizing the area with a space saving layout.

It allocated a total floor area of 5,300 sqm for indoor and outdoor amenities and provided state of the art facilities for residents. These features give buyers a chance to personalize their space according to Ventura. The scenic view of Manila Bay from Bay City properties was also considered by ALHI in choosing the location of SoleMare Parksuites.
