MANILA, Philippines - Dr. Gina Lorna Tugade-Carandang, a dentist, and her husband, Laredo, were set on buying a condominium unit in Makati. The day before closing the deal with another developer, the couple passed by WalterMart to have their pictures taken for their US visa renewal. As fate would have it, the photo-studio was fronted by The Beacon sales booth. Attracted by the scaled model of The Beacon, they decided to pass by the booth and was met by a sales agent. The couple listened to the agent’s enthusiastic assertions then decided to watch a movie.
“My husband, a practicing architect, initially liked the design and features presented to us, so I told him that if the agent is still there when the film ended, maybe the site and showroom nearby deserve to be checked out. Before we could even reach the ground floor, we were already met by Chiely, the sales agent!” Gina recalls vividly.
The agent brought them to the actual site and showroom to view some model units. It helps that The Beacon, a three-tower master development, stands at the corner of Don Chino Roces and Arnaiz Avenue, making Walter Mart a mere three minute walk.
Bowled over by The Beacon’s unique location, the Carandang couple after having toured a number of other condo developments days before, did not expect the luxurious features of each turn-over unit: 60x60 sized homogenous tiles, wall finishes, modular cabinets, range hood and granite countertop, among others.
After comparing specs-by-specs, the Carandangs decided then and there, to let go of the other Makati condo development they initially intended to purchase and opted to get two units at The Beacon. Currently residing in Parañaque, the Carandangs, who happen to have two daughters and a son as the youngest, plan to make their latest investment a half-way house, between work, school and their permanent residence in Parañaque.
“My husband, being a licensed interior designer as well, is already teeming with ideas for the units. Our daughters are both excited and can already see themselves transferring here on weekdays because of its location and amenities. The resort type swimming pool is so inviting,” she says excitedly.
In fact, Dr. Carandang likes the development so much that she has convinced her sibling and some friends to purchase their own units.
It is easy to see why the Carandangs fell in love with The Beacon. Its’ unique location makes it easier for residents to go about their day, providing them multiple access points and roads- EDSA, Buendia Avenue, and Osmeña Highway. Aside from Walter Mart, The Beacon is in close proximity with establishments like the Makati Cinema Square, Makati Medical Center, Don Bosco Institute, Assumption College, Makati CBD, etc. Leisure and commercial institutions are effortlessly clubbed into the layout of The Beacon, making everything within reach.
As Dr. Gina Lorna Tugade-Carandang confirms, The Beacon stands out from the rest of the condominium with these qualities: strategic location, value for money, and hectare of amenities.
