The 'Makatizen' edge: 3 benefits of investing in a Makati condo

Properties in Makati City are well coveted, being the country’s main economic center. Head offices of businesses, exclusive schools, and the biggest retail establishments are all within the city.

The City of Makati continues to be the country’s biggest central business district (CBD) to date. Being home to the largest Philippine companies and of multinational corporations also makes Makati a preferred residential location, and rightfully so. With a limited supply of available land, those looking to live in Makati turn to buying condominium units within the city as their option. 

Here are three reasons why buying a Makati condo is a wise choice: 

Prime property

There’s no denying how prestigious a Makati address is. 

The city has cemented its reputation as a location of choice for both domestic and international businesses to set up their offices in, and this is supporting the steady climb in real estate prices here.

Securing a residential address in Makati may initially cost more compared to buying a condo unit in other cities, but this simply means that your property is worth more compared to others. A high valuation means a condo unit in Makati will most likely appreciate and fetch a higher price in the future should you decide to sell it. This also means property owners can earn more from renting it out to tenants, which makes it a worthwhile investment. 

Center of all the action 

There are more than 86,000 business establishments operating within Makati, alongside 43 foreign embassies and 22 consulate offices. These are testament to the city’s attractiveness for business, as well as to the safety and security of the area. 

Makati City is also centrally located in Metro Manila and is close to major business districts like the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig and the Ortigas Center in the Pasig-Mandaluyong areas. Thus, investing in a Makati condo means these locations are all a short distance away from your property. 

Basic services covered

The Makati City Government provides a generous benefit package for residents of the city, who are lovingly called “Makatizens.” 

Makati residents may avail of various services for free upon birth as the city government provides free newborn screenings, check-ups, and vaccinations. Students also receive free uniforms, school supplies, and may even receive stipends for qualified scholars. Holders of the “Makatizen” Yellow Card are also entitled to subsidized hospital fees from the Ospital ng Makati, free medicine supplies, and even free dialysis services for kidney patients. 

The city government also provides various perks for senior citizens, ranging from cash gifts, free maintenance medicines, Christmas giveaway bags, and even free birthday cakes. Even pets are taken care of by the city through free anti-rabies vaccine shots as well as microchipping, deworming, and spaying/neutering services. 

Acquiring a Makati property through DMCI Homes condominiums like Brio Tower and Fortis Residences qualifies you as a Makatizen who’s eligible to avail of all these free services.

DMCI Homes’ Brio Tower and the upcoming upscale property, Fortis Residences by DMCI Homes Exclusive, are great options for those looking to secure a Makati address.

Brio Tower is along the southbound portion of EDSA-Guadalupe, making it accessible for residents to travel in and out of the property. Those driving private cars only need to take a right turn from EDSA to get to Brio Tower, while those commuting will find the MRT Guadalupe station within walking distance. 

Meanwhile, Fortis Residences is an upscale residential project under construction along Chino Roces Avenue—a portion of which is being redeveloped into the Makati Southwest Gateway to include parks and green buildings, pedestrian-friendly walkways and transport hubs, public art spaces and diverse shops.

Fortis Residences features generous unit cuts and resort-inspired amenities to give residents a relaxing space in the middle of the urban jungle. This condo for sale in Makati is just 1.8 kilometers (km) away from the Ayala CBD and less than 6 kms away from both BGC in Taguig and the Aseana City in Parañaque, making it a premium and convenient abode.
