Developer

Anchor Land Holdings, Inc., which has been listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange since 2007, has become one of the Philippines fastest growing companies in the real estate business and has become known for transforming Old Manila with the modern comforts associated with condo-style living. Although the company prides itself on incorporating age-old Feng Shui principles to its projects, it also uses other upscale condos from around the world as its inspiration, culminating in projects that are both traditional, yet modern. The company raises the bar on excellence within its field and has grown a reputation for reliability, finishing its projects on, or even before time, gaining the trust of business partners and shareholders alike.

Manila

Metro Manila is the capital region of the Philippines and includes, as well as the City of Manila itself, the lager Quezon City and also the Makati Central Business District. The City of Manila itself though, with an estimated 41,515 people per square kilometer, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay at the mouth of the Pasig River, Manila is home to one of the best harbours in the Philippines and was founded in 1571 making it one of the oldest cities in the country and is today home to 1,780,148 people.

Anchor Skysuites

Of the 56 levels comprising the Anchor Skysuites, 53 are above ground. The floor numbering skips levels 13, 14, 34, 44, and 54 but the total is made up by the single basement, mezzanine and ground floors. Of these, levels 8 to 56 will be comprised of residential units providing a total of 346 residences with varying numbers of bedrooms. These residential units are made of as follows:

• Two bedroom units – 82
• Three bedroom units – 101
• Four bedroom units – 101
• Five bedroom units – 40
• Bi-level, four bedroom units – 10
• Bi-level, five bedroom units -10

Utilities

All residential units have both metered electricity and water with electrical outlets provided included for the split type air-conditioning and water heater. The water is stored in both roof deck and below ground tanks.

When and if needed, emergency power is provided free of charge but whilst the diesel fuelled emergency generator provides 100% of emergency and essential power and 100% of lighting in common areas, it is limited to 30% in the commercial area and residences are limited to 1 receptacle for refrigerator, 1 for living area, 1 for Dining and 1 for each bedroom.

Parking

In all there are 9 floors provided for parking, 7 levels plus the mezzanine and additional parking on the ground floor. These provide a total of 473 parking spaces for cars and an additional 91 spaces for scooters. Each of the regular parking spaces is 2.5 x 5m or 12.5sq.m whilst the spaces for scooters measure 1.2 x 2m or 2.4sq.m. The parking levels have a ceiling height of either approx. 3.6m or 2.48 and 5.9m in the mezzanine levels. Entrance and exit points in and out of the parking levels are located on Ongpin St and Alonzo St.

The Residential Units

Although at first, the price for one of these residences may seem high, they are spacious and the price per square meter is very reasonable.  Following in the Feng Shui tradition, all the residential units are orientated to the south and two sides have a view of the metropolis. Apart from providing a high standard of luxury, the Feng Shui influence in the design ensures that all rooms in this cloud kissing tower enjoy an abundance of sunlight all day long.

Located in Chinatown, the Anchor Skysuites will mainly provide residences for the affluent Chinese and Filipino-Chinese who call the Binondo District (Chinatown) their home. Mirroring the large condominiums in other countries, the Anchor Skysuites provides top class services, facilities and amenities for the exclusive use of the residents.

Anchor Skysuites underscores Anchor Land's stature as Chinatown's developer of choice that enjoys loyal patronage from the very discriminating Filipino-Chinese community. All units at Anchor Skysuites are oriented towards the south, following age-old feng shui traditions, and all rooms have at least two sides with views of the entire metropolis. The project's 5-bedroom suites have floor areas ranging from 308 - 618 square meters and are the most coveted because Chinatown residents value spacious homes and luxurious amenities, as well as exclusivity and safety.

Anchor Skysuites is located at Ongpin Street, Binondo Manila

As this project was targeted towards the Filipino-Chinese there was only one location where it could be and that was the Binondo district in Manila, more commonly known as Chinatown but no previous project of this magnitude had ever before been attempted. It was therefore having the trust of their partners and share-holders that allowed Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. to proceed.

Although Chinatown is perhaps the main business center for the city, Anchor Skysuites is situated in a residential enclave within the bustling business area. This does however mean that residents are within easy reach of any additional facility they may occasionally need. Here is a list of just some of those facilities that may sometimes be needed along with how far they are from the residences:

Malls:

• Arranque Market - 0.29 km
• Shoppers Mart - 0.29 km
• Fairmart - 0.29 km
• Filman Travel Center - 0.23 km
• Mandarin Supermarket - 0.13 km

As these residences are mainly designed for families, there will be a need for children to go to school and unfortunately most families will need professional medical attention at some time or other but fortunately there are both schools and hospitals also just a short distance from the Anchor Skysuites building and they are:

Schools:

• Guzman Institute Of Electronics - 0.53 km
• Arellano High School - 0.48 km
• San Lorenzo Ruiz Academy - 0.33 km

Manila Airport

Although Manila’s Airport (Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport) is located 4 miles south of the city and 12.4kms from Chinatown, it is only a 37 minute drive along the Roxas Blvd. The airport has 4 terminals with terminals 1 and 3 dealing with international carriers, terminal 2 for the exclusive use of the Philippines national carrier, Philippine Airlines and terminal 4 for domestic airlines. This means that residents of Anchor Skysuites can be enjoying a domestic or international flight to many different destinations, within an hour.

Overview

Although most things that residents of Anchor Skysuites may want for business, relaxation or recreation are provided for within the building, anything else they may need is within a short distance and easily accessible, meaning no need for long commutes or extended road trips. Although the suites were designed for luxury, one of its best features is its location, central to business and yet not too far from anything else that a well-to-do resident may need.

Although catering to the traditional basics appreciated by a Filipino-Chinese community, Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. wanted to combine them with the sophisticated luxury that affluent citizens of other cultures enjoy by providing the features and amenities that offer a modern, upmarket lifestyle, exclusively for the Anchor Skysuites residents. Those features and amenities include:

Although all these features and amenities may be common place for condominiums in other countries, this is the first project to include them in the Philippines, helping to allow affluent Filipino businessmen the same luxuries and sophistication that their counterparts in other countries enjoy.  Although this is the first such project for Manila and the Philippines as a whole, Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. is already making plans for similar projects throughout the country.

Although luxury accommodations can be found anywhere in the world, it are the amenities and facilities associated with those accommodations which determines their level of sophistication and with Anchor Skysuites, a resident can enjoy sophistication and luxury on a par with anywhere else in the world. The project has met with great appeal from the Filipino-Chinese business sector indicting that other, similar projects will be equally welcomed, setting a new standard for sophisticated living in the Philippines.

Perhaps as important to many as the number of recreational and entertainment features Anchor Skysuites provides, is the recognition of the need for safety and security. Possibly above all else, a successful businessman wants to be assured that their family is safe so they can concentrate their time on business matters. With Anchor Skysuites, and the attention the developers have paid to the safety and security features, allows any resident to have peace of mind about the security and safety of their family and possessions which, on its own, is therapeutic and relaxing, setting the stage for a relaxed, sophisticated lifestyle.
