The Velaris Residences: Offering unparalleled artistry in the heart of the metro

By Ching M. Alano, The Philippine STAR Published Aug 13, 2022 10:00 am Updated Aug 15, 2022 11:17 pm

Where can you find a place that provides all the comforts and conveniences of a futuristic, urban luxury lifestyle that takes care of your well-being, too?

Welcome to The Velaris Residences, your very own dream condo rising along Bridgetowne, a destination estate that spans the border of Pasig and Quezon City.  Located along the fast-growing C-5 Road, this 45-story iconic landmark is a powerhouse joint venture between international property developer Hongkong Land and local real estate giant Robinsons Land.

First off, why choose C5 Road for this prime development?

"Both Hongkong Land and Robinsons Land saw the potential of this area, C5 being one of the fastest developing growth centers in Metro Manila," says Martha Herrera-Subido, head of marketing, RHK Land Corporation, in an interview with Stephanie Zubiri on Modern Living TV. "It's also in the heart of Metro Manila, which makes it very accessible from any point of NCR (National Capital Region). The Velaris Residences has direct access to C5 Road, Ortigas Avenue (the main thoroughfare of the metro's east-west corridor), and Amang Rodriguez Avenue."

From The Velaris Residences, you can access the business districts of Ortigas Center and Bonifacio Global City, as well as many commercial establishments. If it's all about location, The Velaris Residences, indeed, hits the spot! 

Taking luxe to the max

Shall we then take a quick tour and sneak peek of this concrete-and-glass, masterfully planned  residential development?

From the facade to the interiors, The Velaris Residences takes luxe to the max in this gem of a residential enclave with amenities that reflect Hongkong Land's design excellence.

Martha discloses, "Hongkong Land adopted an intentional design philosophy in putting together an ingenious list of amenities that include a SkyClub, essentially an interconnected suite of entertainment facilities; an Olympic-length infinity pool; a lifestyle gym; a Japanese sento, a rejuvenating and stimulating bath experience that simulates an onsen (healing volcanic spring water), as well as an outdoor fitness station, smart lockers, office pods, and personal work stations, among many others."

Office pods and personal work stations? Yes, The Velaris Residences has all that. It allows you to work from home and pursue your dreams without getting cooped up in your condo unit.

"With the pandemic changing so much the way we live, many buyers now want living spaces they can customize to reflect who they are," Martha elaborates. "They want a home that they love, a living space that will allow them to do their favorite activities and hobbies. They want their home to be a relaxing haven and, at the same time, to have areas where they can work and be productive."

Because all work and no play can be unproductive, The Velaris Residences also boasts a golf simulator studio, outdoor fitness stations, and smart lockers for those who want to keep in tip-top shape or perhaps stay at the top of their game.

Your own private lift & lobby

The Velaris Residences surely knows how to pamper its residents. For utmost exclusivity and convenience, two-bedroom and bigger units have access to a private lift that can take residents directly to their units.

What's more, there's a beautiful private lift lobby for two- to four-bedroom and penthouse units. "This is special because in other developments, the private lift lobby is only offered to penthouse unit owners," Martha points out.

Ehryq Young, head of sales, RHK Land Corporation, adds, "The 6.5-square-meter private lift lobby is not included in the unit square meters. The Velaris Residences takes it a notch higher with this private lift lobby where you have your own shoe cabinet. When your unit elevator opens, this is already your private space."

It's your own foyer or anteroom where you can stash away your outdoor essentials that you don't want to bring inside your unit. It's a convenient storage area where you can keep and change your shoes. It can also serve as a disinfection area that allows you to keep safe by disinfecting items before bringing them into your unit. You can actually customize this space, for instance, by putting a table here or a chair there.

Smart home features

The Velaris Residences gives us a glimpse into the future of modern living. On top of the premium fixtures and finishes, all units are equipped with smart digital locks as well as lights and air-conditioning control.

"For bigger units, owners can enjoy the futuristic experience of having a smart mirror," Ehryq shares. "It looks like a mirror, but when you press it, it becomes a tablet, where you can watch YouTube, cooking shows, etc., conduct virtual meetings, or write notes."

He hastens to add, "After all, one of our slogans is, 'Luxury should be complemented by technology.'"

Martha notes, "While our buyers want their home to be centrally located in Metro Manila, it's equally important that their home is equipped with smart home features because this gives them the convenience that they need to keep up with the stresses of daily modern living."

Aside from its smart home features, The Velaris Residences is launching a mobile app that will serve as the residents' portal. Through this residents' portal app, unit owners can conveniently pay for their condo dues, make maintenance requests, communicate with the administration office, coordinate deliveries, book a smart locker, reserve an office pod, among countless other things, without leaving their units. It will be available in Google Play and the App Store.

Ehryq tells us more, "The units also come with premium finishes and branded appliances, like our countertop is already natural stone and we already have a range hood, an oven, and a cooktop."
