If there is one thing that all young professionals dream of, it is to be given the chance to live in Makati, which is one of the busiest and most modern metropolises in the entire Philippines. However, owning an actual house within the city nowadays is almost downright impossible with most lots already owned by someone else. However, there is still a good alternative and that is to live in a condominium building. The good news is that if there is anything that Makati has an abundance of, these include condominiums. One of the newest and most opulent condominiums ever to be built in the country is actually about to rise in the heart of Makati City, the Rise by Shang Residences.
Shang Residences is no stranger to large scale urban developments. In fact, the company is responsible for erecting some of the most high-end high-rises in Metro Manila, and quite a number of them are condominium buildings. The Rise is Shang Residence’s latest projects and it is also gearing up to be its most ambitious as of yet. The Rise condominium will be constructed along Malugay Street, which is within walking distance of the Central Business District area. This means that you can take your sweet time getting to work in the morning because you do not have to deal with morning rush hour traffic.
You can choose from several different unit types in the Rise. The first option is the studio-type unit, which measures roughly 24 square meters each. The studio-type unit might seem a bit too small when you hear about the total floor space but when you look at the floor plans made by the building designers, you will find that it is actually an efficient use of space.

There is ample space in the studio unit for a sleeping area that can fit a twin-size bed, a spacious living/dining area and a complete bathroom. In addition, it comes with a kitchen with a tiled counter top and sink (with provisions for a refrigerator and stove). This unit is most suitable for single professionals, or a young couple who does not have any kids (or are planning on having any in the near future).
If you need more space, or if you do not like having your sleeping space out in the open, you can choose the one-bedroom units in the Rise. You actually have a couple of choices with regards to the one-bedroom units, and they range in size from 27 square meters to 42 square meters in floor space. The smallest of all the choices is the one-bedroom unit with balcony access. This 27 square meter unit is a bit larger than the studio-type unit, and it utilizes this extra floor area for the bedroom, which is not as small as you might think.
The bedroom can fit a queen-sized bed and still have some room left over for a small wardrobe and a desk or vanity. Of course, these units also come with space for a living/dining area, a kitchen with built-in cabinets, and a T&B. If you have a small family, the one-bedroom units may not provide enough space for your needs. If this is the case then you need to check out the two-bedroom units that measure from 73 square meters up to 75 square meters. Some of these units also take pride of their balcony access.
These units have more than twice the amount of floor space than the studio-type units and one-bedroom units, and that extra bit of space is efficiently used for the Master’s bedroom, which also comes with its own T&B. As mentioned, these units come with two bedrooms, one Master’s and one regular, a separate study room, two bathrooms (one common, and one accessible only from the Master’s bedroom), a spacious kitchen area with built-in cabinets and a tiled counter, and more than enough space for a living room setup and a dining set for four people.
The two-bedroom units are perfect for small to medium sized families (you can actually convert the separate study into a small bedroom). There is more enough space that even when there are six people living in the unit, it will still not feel cramped. Regardless if you are a single working professional, you live with your partner, or if you have a small family, you will find the right living setup for your needs right in the Rise condominium.

Smart Services
To cap the breath taking architectural ideas, the designers included a number of smart services some a common feature while others probably an improvement of previous ideas on projects completed elsewhere.
We take a quick view of some of features adopted:
24 hour CCTV surveillance all over the building. This is a massive security investment considering the magnitude of its coverage but nonetheless a must have in modern buildings.
Elevator pass card. This is to lock out any unauthorized access to the building and has proven an effective security addition in the war against modern crime.
Centralized garbage collection comes as a relief for residences at The Rise Makati. Previously, developers have left the trouble of garbage disposal to individual home owners and contracted garbage collectors who were unreliable and inconveniencing.
Central mailbox services are new to condo residences as such. Nevertheless, it is a welcome idea citing that it serves the general purpose of a post office away from the post offices to the convenience of home owners.
Reception services are new to this kind of setting but nevertheless it’s an idea whose time has come. Being similar to a gated community, it is only proper that processes are well defined so as to avoid minor inconveniences.
Sauna services. You no longer have to worry about the tiresome evenings after work because the sauna is very much within reach even for the lazy.
These, among many other smart services, make The Rise a place of choice when it comes to residential as well as tourism needs.
