    Legacy Ventures to invest P1.35B
    in Manila Bay development
    By Max V. de Leon

    LEGACY Ventures Realty and Development Inc. is investing about P1.35 billion for its first real-estate project in the Manila Bay area.

    The project offers bold guarantees for delays in the turnover of units and depreciation of the property.

    The 127 units of Sentosia Condominiums, rising in a 1.7-hectare property along Macapagal Avenue, are now being presold with floor areas ranging from 161 sq.m to 186 sq. m at P52,000 per sq. m.

    About 27 percent of the units have been presold. Before the end of the year, Legacy Ventures expects to sell up 70 percent of the luxury units.

    President Willy B. Pineda said the first phase of the project, consisting of 24 units, is scheduled for delivery this December. The whole project is expected to be completed by December 2008.

    “We don’t need the preselling revenues to finish the project,” Pineda said.

    Legacy Ventures guarantees the turnover of Sentosia Condominiums units to buyers within six months from the start of payment, and is ready to pay the buyers the corresponding interests per day in case of delays in delivery.

    Also, through a partnership with Philtrust Bank, Pineda said Legacy Ventures guarantees a full refund after a year should the property depreciate due to nondelivery.

    Pineda said construction cost is estimated at P350 million, while the property is valued close to P1 billion.

    He said the property value is expected to appreciate at least 10 percent after a year.

    The company, he said, has contracted Asia Appraisal to appraise the project after a year. This will form the basis for a refund.

    Through partners Banco de Oro, Bank of the Philippine Islands and China Bank, as well as its own financing arm, Legacy Ventures is offering the units at 70-percent financing. Buyers may also go for a three-year payment scheme at zero interest.
