Makati City is the workplace of choice of many young professionals. But working in the country’s top business and finance hub has its trade-offs. Commuting to and from Makati if you live in Quezon City can be hell. Parking can be difficult and expensive. Riding the MRT can be torture during rush hour.

SM development Corp. offers single professionals and young couples to own a coveted piece of real estate in Makati City with Jazz Residences. Bounded by N. Garcia (formerly Reposo) and Jupiter Streets, Jazz Residences has four towers that will stand on a five-storey podium for commercial establishments. The development will provide affordable five-star homes.

Jazz Residences is undeniably an excellent address, whether you are buying a unit as an investment vehicle or actually going to live in it. It is near one of Makati’s restaurant row. It is walking distance from Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly Buendia). It is near Ayala Avenue and pretty close to Bonifacio Global City.

Jazz Residences is strategically located near hospitals like Makati Medical Center and Ospital ng Makati, banks, schools such as Mapua Institute of Technology, Colegio de San Agustin, Assumption College, Don Bosco Makati and Asian Institute of Management and many other institutions.

Upbeat and lively – these words best describe the lifestyle offered by Jazz Residences. After all, living so close to one’s place of work gives you more time for leisure and recreation. Now that you don’t have to commute for hours, then maybe you can sleep more or squeeze in a run in the evening. There’s also no need to turn down a chance to have coffee or dinner with friends.

SM Development recently opened its showroom in front of the development site to give prospective buyers a feel of what it is like to live at Jazz Residences. The event featured a mini-concert by Richard Merk, who is called the country’s King of Jazz.

“With Jazz Residences, you will get the chance to live an affordable yet upscale lifestyle in Makati,” explains Grace Sta. Ana, SM Development vice president and project director. “Now there will be a place that connects professionals to their places of work.”

One can own a unit at Jazz Residences for a monthly amortization of P9,000 for a P1.5-million unit.

Jazz Residences, which will sit on a 2.5-hectare lot, offers one-bedroom and two bedroom units. The condominium complex features four 41-storey buildings, each one with an unobstructed view of surrounding cityscape. This is the biggest resort-type development in Makati, boasting of 65 percent open space! Jazz Residences will have a lifestyle center with an SM Mall, SM Hypermart, restaurants, banks and other commercial stores for homeowners’ convenience.

Prospective residents can choose from four different one-bedroom units and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a recreational area, landscaped gardens and water features, jogging paths, five swimming pools, function rooms, WiFI access in all lobby lounges and the Sky Lounge and a gym.

The first floor will house SM Hypermarket and Lifestyle Center, the second floor will be for commercial establishments and a call center, the third floor will be the parking area while the fourth floor will be the area for amenities.

SM Residences offer options that complement the luxurious and stylish lifestyle Filipinos aspire for and gives them greater value for their investment.

SM Residences caters mainly to the middle-income market but its products are no less than five star, high-value investments. These first-class residential developments are situated right next to your favorite SM mall or at prime, strategic locations accessible anywhere within the metropolis making every unit a valuable piece of real estate.

SM Residences offers property management services including unit leasing, general maintenance, and chambermaid services. Units may be leased in your absence or according to your own terms and conditions. The staff offers general maintenance and chambermaid services upon request, all for a nominal fee. These value-added services are consistent with a 5-star living experience.

The Jazz Residences showroom is located at the second floor of Crown Center, Jupiter corner N. Garcia Streets, Bel Air, Makati City.

Strong interest for units in SM Development Corp.’s (SM Development) Makati project Jazz Residences has led the company to speed up the unveiling of its remaining towers. The company yesterday formally opened for buyers the third tower of the four-tower project, ahead of the planned opening in October.

Bernadette Ramos, SM Development assistant vice president for marketing, said "strong interest" for the units in Jazz Residences led them "to open up more available units" as the project gain traction from the Makati real estate market.

Jazz residences project manager Grace Sta. Ana told Malaya Business Insight that the development is attracting interest from people working in Makati, particularly the young professionals and those who are seeking for a "weekday home" while working in Makati.

The project also generates interest from overseas Filipinos who wish to have a place to stay in Makati whenever they are in the Philippines, according to Sta. Ana.

A total of over 5,000 units will be made available in Jazz Residences which will be constructed in a 2.5 hectare property in the corner of Jupiter and N. Garcia Streets.

SM Development is allocating a portion of the property for traffic flow, leaving a total of 1.7 hectare for the actual realty development.

SM Development said it is constructing a bridgeway that will connect Jazz Residences to Salcedo Village, to ease traffic in the area and enable Bel-Air residents with more accessibility to the Makati central business district.

Part of the development will be a six-floor amenity podium which will house swimming pools, fitness gym, mini-theater, children’s playground, and parking among others. It will also include a business center that will cover a whole floor.

A mini SM Mall will also anchor the project, which will include an SM Hypermarket.

Units range between P1.5 million for a studio, to P2.6 million for a three-bedroom unit. Two-bedroom units are priced between P1.8 million to P2.1 million.

SM Development is offering a financing scheme of 20 percent initial payment payable in 36 months. The remaining amount can then be paid through bank financing.

This scheme allows buyers to pay a monthly amortization of as low as P9, 0000 only for their units, said Sta. Ana.

Currently, Tower A of the project has been fully sold, while tower C is 60 percent sold, according to Sta. Ana.

Get into the urban groove at SM Jazz

Jazz Residences is strategically located along N. Garcia (formerly Reposo) and Jupiter streets, painting a colorful lifestyle scene for future residents.

MANILA, Philippines - The fast, energetic pace of urban living is for active and driven individuals who aspire to attain their goals quickly. With diverse alternatives for employment, leisure and fun, the city is one place where much can be done. But stuck in a traffic gridlock, bored out of one’s wits and late for another appointment, one can only wonder what could have been achieved during the time wasted while mired in a traffic jam.

One of the best things going for SM Development Corporation’s (SMDC) new Makati City condominium development is its excellent location. The project, called Jazz Residences Makati, is on a 2.5-hectare property at the corner of Nicanor Garcia (formerly Reposo) and Jupiter streets in the Bel-Air side, making it an easy stroll to the business district. To make access even easier for its residents, SMDC will construct a bridgeway that will connect the area to Salcedo village.

“The residential complex will consist of four 41-storey buildings,” said Grace Sta. Ana, SMDC vice president and project director. “Four towers will stand on a five-storey podium that will house its own business center, with the entire second floor designated for corporate use. There will be restaurants, banks, and commercial stores including an SM Hypermarket that will be very convenient for residents.”

Sta. Ana explains that the development is named “Jazz Residences,” in part, because it offers an upbeat and lively lifestyle close to music hubs in the area that play excellent music and feature top performers. “This is a place that will bring residents closer to entertainment centers, art galleries, delectable dining places; ‘all that jazz.’”

The project is designed by architect Albert Yu of Asya Design, and expected completion for Tower D is second quarter of 2013. Tower C will be completed in the first quarter of 2014, while Tower A will be completed in the third quarter of 2014. Target date for completion of Tower B, considered prime because it will offer the best views, is the first quarter of 2015.

The SMDC Jazz Residences project is also the biggest resort-type development in Makati, with 65 percent designated as open space and an entire level devoted to amenities. These include recreational areas, function rooms and Wi-fi access in all lobby lounges. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the landscaped gardens and water features and jogging paths, while swimmers will be glad to note that five swimming pools are part of the plan. Likewise, a playground for children has been designated.

“A major draw of Jazz Residences is that more people will get a chance to live an affordable yet upscale lifestyle in their very own piece of Makati,” continues Sta. Ana. Residents can choose from mixed-use studio units with floor areas from16 to 20 square meters; one-bedroom units (23 to 27 sq.m.) and two-bedroom units (36 to 40 sq.m.) units. To make moving-in even more hassle-free, buyers can opt to get fully furnished hotel-like units.

But most attractive is the pricing scheme of Jazz Residences. Primarily because SMDC is known as a fast-growing residential property developer focusing on the premium middle market, affordability is key. For this development, five-star homes start at P1.5 million with a monthly amortization of as low as P9,000. A tie-up with Banco de Oro for financing makes it even easier to own a unit.

And, certainly, this seems like an attainable and realistic first investment for young, earning singles or new couples who are just staring out. The monthly amortization, in fact, might just about equal the amount spent on petrol and vehicle maintenance. A healthy, energetic walk to work from one’s own Jazz Residences home will beat wasting fuel and time in traffic gridlock any day.
