St. Francis Shangri-La Place unveils penthouses
MANILA, Philippines - Premier property developer Shang Properties offered an indulgent preview of high living at its finest with the recent unveiling of the Grand Penthouses of St. Francis Shangri-La Place.
Hosted by TV personality Daphne Oseña-Paez, the evening was opened by Shang Properties vice president and chief finance officer Vince Formoso, who described what life at the Grand Penthouses is all about.
“The units were designed with their ideal owner in mind: a highly successful individual, well-traveled, with a keen appreciation of diverse cultures, fine dining and casual luxury,” he revealed. “In a usual home, you look outside and you’ll see your neighbor’s house, the fence electric wires and post running along the street. Here, look out the window and you’ll be able to watch the sun rising from the east in Antipolo, and the sun setting in the west in Manila Bay.”
He adds that of the eight penthouse units, three have already been bought — all by discerning home seekers who lead the chic urban lifestyle the penthouses themselves promote. “Our buyers are very discriminating people, who appreciate the comfort, convenience and security for themselves and their family, that come with luxury condo living.”
Guests were also treated to a tour of a penthouse unit, led by Daphne Oseña-Paez, for a more experiential view of the coveted residential offering. Beautifully designed by renowned interior designer Manny Samson and Associates, the 547-sqm. unit displayed the convergence of space and style with indigenous textures and exquisite key pieces that enhanced its already remarkable features, exuding elegance, comfort, and world-class luxury that showcased the very essence of Filipino ingenuity.
Located at the heart of the vibrant Ortigas Center, the Grand Penthouses sit atop the stunning glass-clad structure of St. Francis Shangri-La Place, an architectural 212 meter high landmark and one of the tallest buildings in the country today. Each unit features spectacular living, dining and kitchen areas on the 59th floor, bedrooms on the 60th floor and the private infinity pool and sky lounge on the 61st floor, creating luxurious spaces that raise the bar in high-end city living.
