The Grand Towers Manila is a 47-level twin tower development by Moldex Realty, Inc.
Location *****
Located in Pablo Ocampo Street (formerly Vito Cruz Street), TGT is conveniently near to several schools and universities in the area. (St. Scholastica, De La Salle University, St. Benilde, etc.) Vito Cruz LRT Station is literally a few steps away, and coffee shops, restaurants, laundry shops, convenience stores are all within walking distance.
Amenities ****
Outdoor Swimming Pool, Kid's Pool, Jacuzzi, Gazebo, Jogging Path, Fitness CEnter, Game Room, Wifi-enabled Study Area
Investment ****
This is a great investment since the area is surrounded by students. Rent income is continuous. In my case, a fully furnished studio unit has an asking price of P18,000 monthly rent. (I posted online ads, and receive an average of 1-2 inquiries a week.) The area is also flood-free.
Security ****
Each tower's lobby has guards and would require visitors to log in. Occupants are mostly students and working people. Area is relatively safe.
Others **
There are no intercom system and doorbells in the units. Quite inconvenient if you need to contact the guard.
Construction Quality ****
The overall quality of construction is good. Tower seems sturdy enough. All units are covered with ordinary 12x12 tiles.
Aesthetics and Design ***
Lobby and amenities area are high-end looking, but the corridors which are painted with pale yellow color, lacks the wow factor. The development alloted an ample space for the amenities area, making it spacious and relaxing.
Units with windows facing Pablo Ocampo Street are blessed with great views of Rizal Memorial Stadium's olympic-sized pool, tennis courts, football field and also the Manila Bay sunset.
