Above Manila’s skyline

Living in a condominium offers the apparent advantages of residing above the metro’s concrete jungle and the minimal upkeep required for a spotless unit. But with a masterplanned vertical address developed by the country’s largest homebuilder, CrownAsia incorporates features beyond your usual basic conveniences. Ingenious and elegant architecture, a flexible selection of living options to suit unique lifestyles, first-class amenities to soothe the mind and body, and a premium location to boot; all these elements are found at CrownAsia’s third vertical project launched last Sept. 9 — Crown SkyArts University Belt.

The 25-storey Crown SkyArts tower takes inspiration from modern contemporary architecture to address the urbanites’ fast-paced lifestyles and sophisticated living preferences. CrownAsia commissioned top firm Recio+Casas Architects to design a mixed-use (comprised of residential and commercial units), high-rise development of functional beauty in the heart of Manila.

When urbanites search for a residence, top factors include residential features that will make life more comfortable and a real estate property investment where they get the most out of their hard-earned money’s worth. Every space available is valuable in condo living. At Crown SkyArts ingenious layouts create comfortable homes without sacrificing aesthetics. Busy individuals and beginning families can opt for Typical Units: Studio Units, available at the tower’s 6th to 18th floors feature floor areas ranging from 27-30 sq. m.; 1-Bedroom Unit Deluxe with floor areas ranging from 41-42 sq. m.; and 2-Bedroom Unit Deluxe with floor areas ranging from 49-56 sq. m. Larger homes are also available for growing families and individuals desiring a luxurious retreat: the Podium Loft Unit with floor areas ranging from 72-74 sq. m.; and the Penthouse Unit with floor areas ranging from 215 sq. m to as much as 436 sq. m.

While the needs of their family and practical living requirements come first urbanites also desire affordable luxuries to reward themselves. CrownAsia’s masterplanning incorporates a residential community with commercial establishments, and lifestyle and leisure amenities at Crown SkyArts University Belt. The 5th floor will house an Activity Center with lifestyle amenities meant for promoting good health, relaxation, and interaction among neighbors such as event plazas for various functions, a swimming pool at the Podium Deck, and a sundeck and gardens to integrate nature amid a vertical residence. Students and professionals can do research and paperwork more efficiently with the presence of a cyber library on the same floor. A fitness gym, Laundromat, internet café, along with other commercial establishments will also be available. The SkyArts’ roof deck provides a 360° view of Manila’s skyline.

As a mixed-use condo, Crown SkyArts occupants literally live right above whatever they may need yet the security and privacy of residents are maintained with a day-long manned lobby and a strict 24-hour security. A four-level parking is also available for residents.

Filipinos regard quality education as a vital tool towards success and a stable future. With the location of Crown SkyArts right in the vicinity of the famed University Belt, an area dedicated to top educational facilities, the 25-storey tower presents an ideal residential option for undergraduate students, individuals earning a master’s degree, administrative and faculty staff of neighboring campuses, doctors and nurses of nearby hospitals, and families who want to be near commercial and business centers in the locale.

Crown SkyArts University Belt is located at G. Tolentino St. in Sampaloc, Manila which makes the tree-lined España Avenue and University of Santo Tomas campus a mere 20 steps away. A stone’s throw away from SkyArts are top educational facilities located within the University Belt such as Far Eastern University, University of the East, San Sebastian College, San Beda College, Centro Escolar University, and La Consolacion College. Fifteen minutes away are schools along or near Taft Avenue such as University of the Philippines-Manila, De La Salle University, and Manila Science High School.

The development of Crown SkyArts University Belt is testament to CrownAsia’s continuing commitment to elevate the Filipinos’ quality of life by providing residential opportunities of value and style.
