The Raffles Residences in Manila are, undoubtedly, South East Asia’s most sought after real estate ownership experience. This is a totally unique and differentiated opportunity that one can’t find anywhere else, for a variety of reasons:
1. Location, Location, Location. One simply can't get a better address: Located in the financial hub of the Makati District – often called the ‘Wall Street of the Philippines’ – the Raffles site is directly across from the Greenbelt Mall which is one of the most celebrated and awarded malls in all of Asia. Literally out the front door one has everything from Starbucks and Gucci to the finest restaurants, nightlife, and business centers in Manila.
2. Raffles Hotels & Residences: Raffles has been called more Legend then Hotel. Raffles Hotels are the home away from home for Royalty, heads of state, and celebrities worldwide from Beverly Hills to Dubai to Singapore. With over 120 years of experience, Raffles brings you residential sanctuaries that are cultured and refined, with service that is heartfelt and gracious in every way. Raffles is recognized by Conde Nast as the #2 hotel brand in the world.
3. A VIP Ownership Experience. The unrivaled Raffles ownership experience includes 5 star services, owner reception & concierge, and the opportunity to rent one's residence out through Raffles when one isn’t using it. Amenities will include a Raffles Amrita Spa, Long Bar, fitness facility, pool deck, meeting space, lounges, signature restaurants & more
4. The Evolution of Manila and the Philippines:
• Manila is one of the top 5 fastest growing cities in the world – projected to be the size of Los Angeles in 5 years.
• Philippine Tourism spending is up over 40% in the past 2 years.
• Goldman Sachs defined the Philippines as one of the next 11 countries to have the greatest impact on the global economy along with the “BRIC” nations.
• The Makati District in Manila is now the top choice for multinational companies such as Dell, IBM, Shell, Procter & Gamble, Chevron and HSBC, to name a few.
As a result, last year Manila had the fastest office rent growth in the world after Singapore, Bombay and Moscow. In summary, there is significant real estate demand and a shortage of supply. Executives from all over the world are calling Manila home as they move here to run multinational companies. Manila continues to evolve at a rapid pace and is one of the up and coming star cities of Asia and the world. Therefore, Manila now has significant demand for luxury branded real estate - and the Raffles Residences will be the first opportunity to satisfy this demand.
OVERVIEW
Raffles Manila will be in Makati, Manila’s rapidly growing central business district. Makati, also home to the influential Makati Business Club and the Philippine Stock Exchange, is often called the Wall Street of the Philippines. In the most stunning tower ever to be built in this highly cosmopolitan city, the Raffles Residences will occupy the top 20 floors of the Raffles Hotel, offering sensational views of Manila Bay or Laguna Bay.

LOCATION
