This ensures residents that the value of their investments would only increase, and that their units will be well-maintained for many, many years.
CPMI currently handles the property management of such illustrious buildings as the BPI Buendia Center (Makati), Asian Development Bank (Ortigas), Essensa East Fobes (Fort Bonifacio), The Pacific Star Building (Makati) and The Alexandra Condominium (Ortigas).
Where is the site for The Knightsbridge Residences?
The Knightsbridge Residences will rise within the mixed-use development called Century City on Kalayaan Avenue, in the heart of what is now being called "MoMa," or Modern Makati.
Why should I choose Makati as a residential location?
Makati is long renowned as the epicenter of Philippine social, cultural and financial activity. It is constantly evolving and reinvigorating itself, transforming into a true megalopolis that is poised to compete with other urban centers all over the world.
Choosing Makati by making your home at The Knightsbridge Residences is therefore the best investment you can make, as your residence will be situated on the last remaining large piece of prime real estate in the country's premiere financial and business capital.
Makati is also home to a total of 62,878 establishments, including 461 head offices of banks, over 30 major IT companies, 27 contact centers, four historic churches, over 100 educational institutions, five-star hotels, the biggest and most upscale shopping malls and entertainment centers, and the country's most exclusive villages.
What is Century City and what are the advantages of being in this location?
Being located within Century City means you are just a short walk or an elevator ride away from everything you need-retail stores, dining and entertainment facilities, banks, pampering services, relaxation and recreation amenities and more-all of which are just located at the Lifestyle and Entertainment Center.
And because Century City is located in the heart of Makati, the country's premiere financial and commercial district, you are guaranteed easy access to major banking establishments, hotels, villages, shopping centers, coffee shops and restaurants and schools.
Why is the project called The Knightsbridge Residences? What is its inspiration?
The Knightsbridge Residences at Century City takes its name after the most expensive neighborhood in London, Knightsbridge.
It is the luxury, prestige, central location and rich history of Knightsbridge in London that has inspired the creative team of Century to develop a high rise that would be the confluence of old-world Europe and cool Britannia.
What differentiates the project from other condos out there?
The Knightsbridge Residences is the first residential building to ever attempt the execution of Hypersized amenities. These are large designer convergence areas that effectively multiply the dimensions of your home.
With hyper-sized common areas that serve as "extensions" of your unit, the building is transformed into a true Vertical Village that nurtures community and interconnectivity among its residents. It is where your home extends beyond the four walls of your condo unit.
What is the general description of the architectural design of the project?
The Knightsbridge introduces a sleek and future-oriented curvilinear design that is both iconic and breathtaking. The tower is designed to be a landmark, and is oriented to maximize views of the Makati skyline, Rockwell, Ortigas and Fort Bonifacio.
How would you describe the lobby of the building and its special features?
The lobby and common areas of the building, particularly The Podium Level amenity floor will be designed by Hong Kong-based International Leisure Consultants (ILC).
The fully-attended lobby will carry a modern London-inspired design and will have white-glove doormen, concierge service, superintendent and porter services.
As another innovation in building design, Century Properties introduces the Lantern concept at The Knightsbridge Residences. These unique architectural features are comprised of stacked special residential units with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that create iconic, sparkling glass boxes-a truly distinguishing feature and a shimmering beacon in the city, especially at night.
