One of the major things you should consider is primarily location of the condo property. As a buyer you
should narrow things down, and look for areas that would serve as good investments and as luxury living
space, properties in Makati are usually the best bet. This particularly true in the villages and areas that are
near in central business districts, where buying a condo is a great investment.
The next thing you should also consider is the reputation and track record of the developer of properties.
Who is the developer? To name some few, reliable developers are:
Ayala Land Corporation – they are known for developing Greenbelt, Glorietta Mall, Alabang Town Center,
and also known for their well designed buildings.

2. DMCI Homes – another company of DMCI Construction who developed a triple AAA grade
establishments such as the South Luzon Skyway, SM Megamall, Shangri-La Plaza, and lot more. DMCI

the city is expensive especially if it is located in the central business district. When it comes to financing
there are numerous options available – Bank are the most common, but you can also try Pag-IBIG Fund.
The last thing you should also consider is the population of the condominium building. It is better to have
an idea how many people are in the building, and perhaps what type of people are they. Buying a condo
in Makati is a major investment especially if the owner if you are going to live there for a long time. So it is
a smart move if you will investigate first the type of neighbor who will have and whether you can live with
