Due to the devastation brought about by tropical storm Ondoy, Eton Properties has surveyed the elevation of all their current projects above Mean Sea Level (MSL), and found that all their projects are virtually flood-free properties. This means that you as investors can feel safe, knowing that all Eton Projects will not be affected by any major-level floodings.

MSL is defined as the average height of the seawater surface including all tide levels. Thus, an elevation of 20 meters means the property is 20 meters above the average height of the sea, making it very safe against heavy floods.

As reported in a meeting yesterday with Eton President Danilo Ignacio, all Eton Projects did not encounter any major flooding. Please find below the summary list of the Elevation levels of all our current projects, showing that ALL our projects are above the Mean Sea Level:

Scout Area Quezon City is considered to be one of the most prime areas in Metro Manila. Many of the residents here belong to the Upper A class income bracket, or in Lehman’s terms,  Rich .

Because of this, many of the Filipino-Chinese newlyweds choose this area since they will be near their parents, and they buy townhouses here to live in. There are also many rich Filipinos there as well…

Here are some nice brand-new, pre-selling Quezon City Townhouses at Eton West Wing Residences along Quirino Highway, Novaliches. When I first learned about this project, at first I had some hesitation for its location, since Novaliches is considered to be part of the farther parts of Quezon City. But when I saw it for myself, Frankly, it was quite impressive. This is indeed a very affordable House and Lot package for those who like the Novaliches area, and for those who really want a House and Lot over a condominium. (more…)

If you will notice the Philippine Real Estate market today, seldom will you find any Metro Manila Commercial Spaces for Sale. What you will see mostly are residential spaces for sale, whether they’re condominiums, residential lots, townhouses, etc etc. Why is that so? Of course, one can argue that the primary reason for this is that our rapidly growing Filipino population needs to fulfill their basic need of having shelter (See my previous blog post here). But there is another reason – Commercial Spaces, when owned, can yield great profits for you especially in the long-term. (more…)

Serendra is one of most talked about Philippine Condominium projects nowadays. Its unique inner landscapes give it its edge over other developments. Many people have commented about Serendra, both good and bad.

As you know, the Fort Bonifacio Global City is being developed to become an even better Financial district than the already-modern Makati City (more details on my previous blog post at http://www.realestatephilippinesblog.com/the-fort-bonifacio-global-city-the-future-financial-capital-of-the-philippines/). One of the new fort bonifacio condominiums joining the fray of developments is new ICON PLAZA condominium (center picture).

So many people want to invest in a Makati Condominium, but only the privileged few can afford the p100k/square meter prices there. But with Belton Place Makati by Eton Properties, Lucio Tan offers a Philippine pre-selling condominium that is right on the border of the Makati Central Business District, but only sells for p80k to 90k/sqm, which is indeed quite a great bargain if you know the Makati current prices (p100k/sqm for Brand New ones).

Makati City is the current financial capital of the Philippines, but it may be soon overtaken by the Fort Bonifacio Global City, which is majority owned by none other that the Makati developer themselves: Ayala Land. Hence, many developments are sprouting up there like mushrooms, because of their trust in the Ayala name brand. They certainly did it before in Makati, which was a barren airstrip during the period. With their foremost expertise, they have transformed it into probably the most modern and attractive urban development in the Philippines.
