THE global economic crisis has not gotten in the way of an excellent investment.

This is why Alveo Land Corp., a subsidiary of real-estate giant Ayala Land Inc., has maintained strong sales in Senta—its development in Legazpi Village, Makati—proving that sophisticated buyers are always ready to put their money in real-estate investments that are a class above the rest.

The property, which rises at a highly networked location within the Makati Central Business District, stands out with its unique mix of top amenities surrounded by modern architectural features and interiors designed specifically to cater to the needs of power mavens.

“Senta is firmly anchored on attention to quality and the formidable strength of the Ayala Land name,” said Rufino Gutierrez, division manager for project development of Alveo Land, adding, “it will set a new benchmark for homes that address the specialized needs of today’s power mavens by virtue of amenities unique to the development.”

These exceptional facilities include the condominium’s own putting green and a roof deck landscaped to include a calming, Zen rock garden that provides a one-of-a-kind recreational space for residents within the city. For those who want to break out a sweat, Senta’s fitness center not only has a diverse collection of gym equipment; it also frames a spectacular view of Legazpi Park. The development also features several lounge pools and an expansive, private pool theater. The same careful thought and innovation that went into Senta’s amenities are, of course, reflected on the individual dwelling spaces as well, with the studio, two-bedroom unit and one-bedroom Power Suite all built and designed to welcome the high-flying urban achiever home.

The combination of aesthetics, architecture and detailed amenities paved the way for Senta to establish itself as the new power address in Legazpi Village—and the enthusiastic response of the market proved this undeniably.

Since the grand launch of Senta in May 2008, over 90 percent of its total units have been sold. Even after P1 billion in revenues were posted within the first five weeks of priority selling alone, sales have not let up since. This singular feat was achieved despite the effects of the global crisis; and following an international consensus declaring that hard times will soon come to an end, there are now more reasons to look forward to the return of a dynamic real-estate market.

“The overwhelming response of the market to what Senta has to offer highlights how much this development complements the needs of discerning buyers today. The Power Suites, for instance, with only a few units left, features a functional and convertible auxiliary area ideal for those looking for a place to call home but similarly require the flexibility and functionality of an extra space,” Gutierrez adds. “The brisk sales of Senta units prove that in the midst of a crisis, the property’s character, not its cost, is what holds a high premium for real-estate buyers. The response to Senta is especially overwhelming—and with the knowledge that we can continue to build homes that power mavens deserve, we look forward to welcoming its future residents by the year 2013.”
