THE RIGHT COUNTRY



WHY INVEST IN THE PHILIPPINES?

- Strategic Business Location


- Great Tropical Climate


- Growing Tourism Industry (3M/year)


- Easy Communication


- High Literacy Rate (approx 93%)



Philippines is in the heart of the Asia-Pacific Region – one of the fastest growing economic region in the world. Its strategic location near Asias 10 major cities, its English language-proficient workforce, and its young population, with approximately 45% below the age of 20, make it attractive for outsourcing and investments.


Its economy is driven largely by an extensive, first-rate BPO sector; massive worldwide expatriate remittances from its global Filipino workforce, ranked #4 in the world only next to China, India and Mexico; and a dynamic, multifaceted tourism industry.


With close to 100 million people, and being the 12th most populated country in the world, it has remained remarkably resilient, being only one of 3 Asian countries that posted positive GDP growth during the recent downturn of 2009. Its recent economic triumphs have created a burgeoning middle-class that is eager and able to afford new housing, personal amenities, and a better quality of life. This trend is powering the countrys present robust consumer spending and real estate boom. With property prices going at a fraction of their major Asian counterparts, Manila has become a potent base for international business and investment.


Indeed the Philippines highly technologized, future-focused cities, positive economic policies, friendly people, and vibrant city culture make it a viable center for any global business.



THE RIGHT INSUSTRY


As a result of heavy foreign investments, increased labor opportunities and a rapidly expanding middle-class, the demand for affordable-to-high end residential, business and commercial real estate has risen. The relatively low Philippine interest rates and the fact that many Filipinos are first time property buyers make home-buying an attractive prospect for families.


The countrys steady growth in home ownership is further aided by banks reducing their home loan rates, driving further buying opportunities. Per Philippine government statistics, there exists a backlog of 3.6M homes nationwide that the industry is trying to serve.


The market clearly exists; it is simply a matter of meeting the demand.

The 53-storey tower will boast 340 flexible one to three bedrooms apartments, with prime units including penthouses, town houses and Italian-inspired -loggia- lofts that feature private plunge pools and skygardens.

Prof. Jason Pomeroy, director at Broadway Malyan, said: -This is a major milestone in this prestigious and high-profile residential project, which has drawn on the diverse skills, expertise and experience of our global team of expert designers.

–The scheme demonstrates the emerging trend of luxury branded condominium living in Asia, with hospitality-type boutique facilities and concierge services set to become regular features of high-end residential developments in the region, and the increasing role of luxury brands in the added lifestyle value of such developments.–

Milano Residences has been designed to embody the character of traditional Italian spaces by fostering -indoor-outdoor- living through the use of sky loggias, sky piazzas and sky terraces that are reinterpreted through a series of vertical skycourts and gardens that punctuate the tower. The Italianate references compliment the Versace-branded interiors, while ensuring the building retains a grounded and timeless quality.

Sustainability has been a key driver in the design, with a passive design approach that employs narrow floor plates and high ceilings optimise daylight penetration and further opportunities for natural ventilation.

The design also includes a green roof and an abundance of densely foliated vertical open spaces to help collect excess rainwater, irrigate planting within the building and reduce ambient temperatures. Meanwhile, materials have been selected on the basis of their environmental credentials as well as aesthetics.

Milano Residences is one of several high rise projects currently being designed by the practice within the Century City Masterplan, and reinforces the diverse and changing skyline of Modern Makati.

Broadway Malyan is currently delivering a wide portfolio of award-winning projects, including in the Philippines, Singapore and wider Asia region in support of the regions burgeoning green building movement.

Team members such as Prof. Pomeroy are also advising prestigious organisations, such as the Philippine Green Building Council, on sustainability issues, and winning global awards for sustainability and sustainable design.

VERSACE HOME

From the very beginning, the creative universe of Versace has always encompassed many disciplines, not just fashion, but design in the broadest sense and the essential art of living.

Versace Home was therefore a natural extension of this interest. Created 1992 initially as a collection of textiles for the home (sheets, duvets, pillows and cushions) and a landmark range of porcelain dinner sets, it has evolved into a full service, interior design arm with a complete range of exquisite home furnishings and tailor made fittings, and a team of designers equipped to plan and oversee -tailor made- interior design projects

Versace home takes the fashion houses glamour and luxury into everyday living from massive luxury resorts and hotels to private homes.
