A place at Casa San Miguel

MANILA, Philippines - Homebuilder Good Luck House, Inc. offers its own answer to the demand for affordable housing in the heart of Metro Manila: Casa San Miguel, a project that combines affordability with convenience.

The vision of Casa San Miguel is to give people the feeling of living in a safe and secure community where everything is within easy reach. “Our vision is to give our buyers the best, most liveable home possible within a certain price range,” says Peter Angliongto of Good Luck House, Inc., developer of Casa San Miguel.

A B.A. Economics graduate of the University of the Philippines (UP) with an MBA from the Wharton School of Finance, Angliongto has been engaged in the development of affordable housing since 1993, but his projects were located mostly in Davao. Eventually, he realized that there was a greater unserved need for affordable housing in Metro Manila, and started doing more real estate projects here to respond to that need. But Metro Manila, with its bigger population and busier lifestyle, presented a different challenge.

Shelter is one of the most basic needs of man. Everyone dreams of owning a house. But most people-especially in Metro Manila-end up renting because real estate prices are too steep. For a studio or one-bedroom condo, prices can run up to a million pesos or more.

The entire project is surrounded by a perimeter wall with a guarded gate to assure the security of unit owners. Once completed in 2010, there will also be landscaped walkways and a play area for children.

Centrally located in Pasig, a few meters from the Pasig Wet Market and Pasig Cathedral, Casa San Miguel is a complex consisting of 3 four-storey buildings designed by the well-known engineering firm of Aromin and Sy. Each building has an average of 24-28 units per floor. Each 26-square meter loft-type unit costs about P600,000 and is delivered to the buyer already finished, with painted walls, light receptacles, vinyl flooring and a kitchen counter with a sink.

The community is accessible to 24-hour public transportation. The MRT is a short jeepney or FX ride away, making it easy to get to work or school from early in the morning till late at night. For those with their own vehicles, available parking areas will be included with the development.
