Almost everything about the capital city of the Philippines reflects a certain kind of grandeur. For one, it’s home to the oldest and biggest Chinatown in the world. It hosts the shopping mecca of the country, as well as the largest seaport. A major publishing center, Manila is dotted with various newspaper companies. Heritage landmarks are scattered all over its vicinity, from the historic Walled City of Intramuros to the age-old churches of San Agustin and Manila Cathedral. 

For those who want to live grand, Manila is an ideal residential address. 

Individuals, especially overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), yearning for a great future for their family will benefit from the modern lifestyle the capital city promotes. Here’s exactly why Manila is the perfect home choice:

Manila is Dotted with Cosmopolitan Conveniences

While a historic city, Manila features urban comforts. From offices and schools to hospitals, malls, and government offices, everything’s here, elevating the lifestyle of convenience for residents. Even living in the age-old district of Santa Ana makes everything within reach. An emerging condo project in this vicinity takes convenience to the next level.

The 36-story Suntrust Ascentia, located along New Panaderos St., is close to prestigious schools, such as OB Montessori, La Concordia College, and the University of the Philippines – Manila. The Sta. Ana Hospital, meanwhile, is within walking distance. Shopping malls, such as SM City Manila and Robinsons Place Manila, can be reached in half an hour. 

Choosing this modern contemporary development means investing in a future that embraces the best of cosmopolitan convenience. OFWs coming home for good will enjoy an easy, no-fuss lifestyle. 

Manila is Home to a Variety of Leisure Spaces

Essential establishments aside, recreational areas abound in the capital city. In Sta. Ana alone, there are plenty of historical sites to visit, from the age old Sta. Ana Church to the Amparo-Santos Ancestral House and Lichauco Heritage House. In the greater city, residents can easily drop by Rizal Park, the National Museum of the Philippines, the National Library, or Museong Pambata. Similarly, the famous Intramuros, along with Manila Ocean Park and Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, are within the city.

Even residential neighborhoods in Manila host a variety of leisure spaces. In Suntrust Ascentia, one will find amenities that go beyond the typical. While it features swimming pools and a pool deck, the upscale development also has a jacuzzi. To promote an active lifestyle, it has a fitness center and a jogging path.

Social spaces include the function hall, multi-purpose area, and outdoor lounge. A family-friendly development, Suntrust Ascentia features a daycare center and playground. All these leisure facilities are curated with tasteful design and equipped with top-notch materials, aimed at accommodating the convenient, modern lifestyle of today’s homeowners. Retiring from years of hard work abroad, you can relish the forever-vacation feels in Suntrust Ascentia’s recreational spaces.

Manila is a Center of Business and Commerce

Different kinds of businesses are setting up shop in Manila since it’s home to the biggest seaport and various retail hubs. Modern industries, such as business process outsourcing and logistics, line its booming commercial district. With a progressive city as your home, business opportunities are easily accessible. 

When you return to the country and stay here for good, you can set up a business in the most sought-after commercial addresses in the country. Investing in a home located in Manila will help you prepare better financially for the family’s future.

In Suntrust Ascentia, you can choose among three types of units, depending on your needs as an entrepreneur growing a family. The studio unit, which has a 29.80-square-meter floor area, is ideal for a starter home. The two-bedroom unit with 39.20 square meters and the three-bedroom unit that has 57.20 square meters are the best options for housing relatively bigger families or accommodating work-from-home needs. The condo project is pre-selling, making it an ideal investment to secure the family’s future.

A convenient, modern lifestyle awaits people who choose Manila as their residential address. Come home to the capital city and experience for yourself the grandeur of modernity and heritage.
