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, Proctor & Gamble, Chevron, and HSBC.
In recent years, Manila has had the fastest office rent growth in the world after Singapore, Bombay, and Moscow.
In summary, there is significant local and global demand with limited offerings available. Global executives are calling Manila home as they establish themselves to operate 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. Manila now has significant desire for luxury branded real estate - and the Raffles Residences Makati will be the first opportunity to satisfy this need.

Construction Activities:
With all the new activity occurring, the development is progressing and construction is well underway. Excavation is already complete and the branded perimeter fencing erected is the gateway to foundation works. Concrete structures, installation of electromechanical plumbing systems as well as a high-tech curtain walling are all planned for the upcoming months.
In the following weeks you will receive project updates that will include up-to-date construction photos, team and company bios, local information and much more.
Sales Activities:
Following the positive response we have received for Raffles Residences Makati Phase II, we are preparing customers to select their specific residence and execute firm contracts early in 2009. As a reminder, the demand expressed after Phase I has led the developer to include a limited selection of additional one-bedroom residences to the development for Phase II. This enhances the portfolio of the exclusive residences that are presently available.
Currently, we are accepting fully refundable 400,000 PHP deposits through our Opportunity to Purchase (OTP) program. Email me for a copy of the OTP. In the upcoming weeks OTP holders will be provided with pertinent information necessary to make a fully educated purchase decision.
