Take a Look at THE SPECTRUM

You've been working so hard these past few years and want something tangible to call your own. If you are working in the Ortigas district or nearby areas, maybe The Spectrum is just for you. 

Much of the spaces here are made into offices and commercial spaces, and perhaps, living in it would be a huge advantage so you don't have to go out and drive hours just to work here. This place is by Vista Land and dubbed as the Best Mixed Use Development in the island according to Lamudi, the biggest real estate platform in the country.

From essentials like groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores or government offices, living here would be ideal for the working class or for those starting a family. The convenience of being in the city is certainly what a lot of people look for. There's also shopping malls, some of the biggest ones to boot, plus a lot of hotels that could rival the best ones in the Philippines. It's also modernly designed, so you've got a lot of options in terms of putting up where you want your entertainment, dining or bedroom would go.

You could literally walk to schools, with nearby Lourdes, Poveda or University of Asia and the Pacific, your kids (or you) would be able to get those degrees captured in no time. Inside The Spectrum, you've got lots of amenities that you, your loved ones could use so you don't have to go out to be entertained. They've got pools, a well thought out gym, even a great lobby where you can lounge and just rest. The Spectrum could also be used as an investment, to even have it rented out if you're the business minded one. The cuts would be perfect for young professionals since there's 21-28 square meters, even 40-42 square meters for differently sized one bedroom units. All you need to do is ask!

Luxury Living at Bern Baguio by Brittany Corporation

The summer capital of the Philippines is Baguio City. With its cold climate, fresh breeze and lovely mountains, one can never discount it to be their home. It's also quite easy to go to if you prefer a change of pace, a change of scenery, you can just hop on to your car and head all the way north.

Living there seems to be a dream but Bern has made it possible. It's a 4 tower condominium development made by the experts at Brittany Corp. The feel is much like Swiss Mountain living, with the luxury of peace and tranquility. They're part of Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc. who's the country's largest developer. I'd compare this to their Crosswinds property in Tagaytay which they also did. It's just absolutely incredible to live there and certainly, it's a viable follow up to the successful property.

 

The plan to also include Alpine ish elements to the project will be the perfect fit for the mountains and pine trees that sprawl the region. They will also be putting up luxurious amenities so you don't have to go out in order to be entertained in the enclave of Bern.

Suites will have panoramic nature views, private balconies, so home owners should choose wisely. The larger 51 square meter corner suites on the other hand would have more space that you can configure to have separation on living spaces and the other rooms. There are 2 bedroom suites you can choose if you've got lots of family so they could have more space to run around, a balcony which you can turn into gardens that can function as indoor and outdoor features exceptionally planned by Brittany.

They will be implementing to have around 4-8 units per floor so there's going to be much privacy. Units are also smart home ready so if you want to implement technology in the near future, it's easier because it's already there. It feels very exclusive and private. 

Westerners wouldn't have much to adjust with because they've got jacuzzis, lounges and fire pits if you're planning to roast marshmallows on a cold nippy day. For those who prefer a healthy lifestyle, their gym, sauna, yoga, and Pilates studio are available for use. There's also a game room and view decks so if you're entertaining relatives, friends or guests, you can do them here. For the special occasions, their function rooms can accommodate more people, as it should.

If you love the promise of Bern, there are equally stunning properties that Brittany has like Portofino in Alabang, Lausanne in Tagaytay, Georgia Club in fabulous Sta. Rosa Laguna. There will be more in the near future so if you're in the look for luxury in these locations, visit their site brittany.com.ph or their social channels on FB, IG or YouTube.
