Affluent Lifestyle at Raffles Residences

MANILA, Philippines — An unrivalled lifestyle supported by luxurious amenities and outstanding guest service in one prime location is the promise offered to unit owners of Raffles Residences Makati.

Managing director of the Raffles complex located in the heart of the Ayala Center where the 237-unit luxury residence will share the same address with an exclusive Raffles all-suites hotel and a 280-room Fairmont Hotel. With over a decade’s experience in the largest luxury hotel management company in North America, Mr. Zupanski is certain the lifestyle promise will be fulfilled to all who live at Raffles Residences Makati.

Having managed a similar mixed-use complex with a Fairmont Hotel and a luxury residential development in Vancouver, he relates to what it would feel like to live at the top-end Makati residential enclave opening next year: “People in general go out to dinner, go to a gym nearby, have their house cleaned and order in-suite dining. At Raffles Residences Makati, you will have all these services in one place – and delivered with the highest quality standards. A resident will enjoy convenience and lifestyle at a very exceptional level.”

New to Metro Manila, a residential tower within a mixed-use complex anchored with a well-known hotel brand has become a trend in many major cities in North America, according to Mr. Zupanski who has roots in Canada and has managed properties in Newport Beach in California, Shanghai and other ritzy destinations.

Raffles Residences Makati will not only be supported by one hotel brand – but two. The Raffles brand ensures “thoughtful, personal and discreet service” to well-travelled guests. That same service familiar to Asian travellers will be enjoyed by those in the Residences.

“This is what will separate this project from other quality buildings in the market, our ability to deliver world-class luxury lifestyle amenities and services to our residents,” said Mr. Zupanski.

The Raffles/Fairmont’s portfolio of storied hotels, including The Raffles Singapore, the Plaza Hotel New York and the Savoy Hotel London, is also founded on exceptional guest service, he said.

In Manila, the Fairmont will be targeting a corporate market while the Raffles Hotel will be targeting the luxury leisure travellers. The complex will be distinguished by its ballroom among other convention and meeting facilities.

“We’re excited about the ballroom. With a capacity of 680 guests for dinner we know it will the venue for big business meetings, grand social events and fabulous weddings,” said the seasoned hotelier.

For Raffles Residences Makati unit owners, the ballroom and the other facilities of the Fairmont as well as the Raffles all-suite accommodations will heighten the experience of living at the “center of everything,”

Mr. Zupanski observed. “It is not just access to the seven restaurants and lounges of the two hotel brands but also access to Makati’s other top restaurants, socials, the arts, services right at their doorstep.”

But despite the array of advantages presented by location, the experience of living in Raffles Residences Makati will be “private and exclusive.”

Enter the front door and you enjoy all the comforts of home demanded by an affluent lifestyle.

Catering to travellers with homes in other capitals of the world, units owners can also lease out their unit through the Raffles rental program during the months the owners are scheduled to be elsewhere.

To ensure that the demand for luxury spaces with uncompromising quality is met, units that will be part of the program will be designed by Bent Severin and Associates (BSA), which specializes in design schemes and plans for luxury and resort hotels across the globe.

According to its planners, the overall design scheme brings the colonial heritage of the fabled 1887 Raffles Singapore to mind.

Living spaces are charming and reflect understated sheer elegance. The bathroom is finished in marble and features quality sanitary wares and fittings.

In contrast, the kitchen highlights the most modern of kitchen appliances and gadgets.

According to Grace Soh of BSA, “Aesthetics, functionality, and technology are all part of the plan to bring comfort to those looking for a higher level of distinction.”

MANILA, Philippines - Raffles Residences Makati, one of the most luxurious residential condominium complexes in the Philippines, recently made real estate history for selling a unit considered among the highest priced residential condominium properties on a per square meter basis in the history of the Philippines.

Opening later this year, the residential project on the corner of Makati and Arnaiz Avenues occupies the 11th to the 30th floors of the complex that shares an address with a 278-room Fairmont Hotel and an exclusive 30-suite Raffles Hotel that occupies the 9th and 10th floors.

Sales Manager for the Raffles Residences cited the quality of life associated with the Residences as an influence on the purchase decision.“It is very positive to have the residences serviced by the legendary Raffles Hotel brand. Moreover, the location is incomparable. Residents will be living in the center of the cultural and financial hub of the Philippines.”

The transaction, which involves a penthouse unit, was closed earlier this year. It exceeded the record set in 2010 by another Raffles Residences Makati penthouse which was up until then the highest price per square meter paid for a residential condominium, according to the records of real estate consultancy firm Colliers International. The higher price per square meter of Raffles’ premium unit is owing to the fact that the project is in the final stages of completion and is thus attracting greater interest in the market. The remaining inventory is moving quickly.

Experts agree that the demand for residential projects in the Philippines remains strong, driven by an economy that is “on the cusp of another investment cycle for the first time in 15 years,” according to a report by regional investment house CLSA Asia-Pacific.
