Crescent Park Residences
Crescent Park Residences is a 29-story residential high-rise condominium project at the Fort Bonifacio Global City, the emerging business district in Metro Manila.
When it was launched in 2007, the project was labeled as a Build-to-Own (BTO) kind of development in which prospective unit owners have the option to choose between “model unit quality” (complete with furnishings of their own choosing) or “ready to receive finish” units that allow the unit owners to desing and furnish the units themselves.
LOCATION
Crescent Park Residences is situated at the Burgos Park in Crescent West, a prime residential area in Fort Bonifacio. Most residential projects in the area are situated in the “south” perimeter of Bonifacio Global City (near the American Cemetery) but Crescent Park is in the west end, sandwiched between the Manila Golf Club and the 2.7-hectare Crescent Park. The area where Crescent Park stands on is bounded by three major roads: EDSA, C5 and the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). BGC has emerged not only as a business district but as a retail haven and has a number of international educational institutions like the British School of Manila, International School Manila, and the Manila Japanese School. The area is also home to the St. Luke’s Medical Center, considered the most fully equipped hospital in the country.
DEVELOPER
The project was developed by G&W Architects, Engineers, Project Development Consultants, the same developer of Blue Sapphire Residences and Sapphire Residences and pioneer in the BTO development concept. Crescent Park Residences is the company’s 7th BTO project in the Bonifacio Global City area. BTO is the latest concept in property development in which homeowners directly engage the service of a team of construction professionals who build their units at direct cost. As such, non-project-related add-on costs usually tacked on by middle-medn developers are eliminated. Aside from the cost savings, investors and end-users of BTO projects are given access to quality condominium development and property management services.
The architect-led property development firm has done over a thousand projects across the country in its more than 35 years in the industry.
CONSTRUCTION
The Crescent Park Residences high-rise condominium project was announced mid-2007 and broke ground in April 2008 and was topped off on February 18, 2010, earning for the project the distinction of being one of the few that finished on schedule.
