MANILA, Philippines - One secret of successful Chinese-Filipino businessmen is this: they never rest. They are the first ones to open their stores and the last ones to pack up their wares. As long as there are still customers, they will stretch the hours… sometimes at the expense of family time.
Back in the old days, Chinese businesspeople lived right above their store. That way, it will be easier to go back to the house or go to their shops, not to mention savings from transportation costs.
Today, however, this is not a common practice with residential areas far from the centers of commerce and marketplace. Now, people have to travel and brave the traffic everyday just to get to their shops. But this won’t be the case anymore at Cityplace.
Modern-day shophouse
Cityplace is Megaworld’s newest residential condominium project in Binondo. Located at the center of Chinatown, Cityplace is a modern version of the Chinese shophouse, where businessmen can set-up new stores, restaurants and offices downstairs and live upstairs. This is the perfect set-up for those who are looking to start their business in the area as well as those who already have an existing business in Binondo.
“This gives businessmen the best of both worlds. They get to be closer to their family and also closer to their business. No more commuting or worrying that you will be late. This is ideal for people who are just starting their business because they can be really hands on. It is also good for those who already have established businesses because they can use their Binondo office as the main branch since it is closer to their homes. It’s an exceptional deal,” noted Megaworld Newport Property Holdings FVP for marketing and project head John Natividad.
Cityplace is strategically located at Reina Regente St., Binondo. For investment options on Cityplace, please call Megaworld at 241-8000 or visit the Cityplace showroom at Burke Plaza, San Fernando cor. Sto. Cristo St., Binondo. Or check out www.cityplace.com.ph.
