Self-sustaining Communities: Your Next Property Investment
When it comes to your next property investment, it helps to think about your present circumstances, as well as how you imagine your future living situation. Since the quarantine period was first implemented last year, many workplaces have adopted a work-from-home set-up, causing people to inevitably spend more time indoors.
Because of the extended WFH situation, more and more people are looking for safe spaces that are open and relaxed, so they can regularly get some fresh air and stretch their legs. Additionally, consumers are beginning to see the benefits of living a lifestyle rooted in balance, as they scout for properties away from the excess bustle of central business districts.
Real estate in townships and nearby communities by the fringes of CBDs are gaining popularity because of its proximity to essential establishments and conveniences, while allowing you to escape excessive commotion––after all, living in the heart of a CBD may put you in the center of all the action, but at the expense of peace and quiet.
If you desire a more well-rounded lifestyle that allows you to live life in balance amid WFH, then it’s time to look into properties situated in calmer and greener communities. Many of these townships or self-sustaining communities are located in the south of Metro Manila such as Muntinlupa or Parañaque, offering more lush greenery while still staying close to the metro.
How WFH has shaped living in the new normal
The remote working scheme has shifted our priorities when it comes to our living situations. While the old nine-to-five schedule might have made proximity to the workplace a priority in the past, distance becomes less of an issue when the work is primarily home-based.
As people are spending more and more time indoors, they naturally want to be able to breathe, stretch their legs, and safely interact beyond the walls of their homes. As the lines between work and home become blurred, families and residents now prefer being situated in communities that allow them to live a more holistic lifestyle, where a quick jog, bike ride, or even just a breath of fresh air is just minutes away from their doorstep.
Many people are considering a calmer, greener community closer to urban conveniences
Under the WFH scheme, employees and professionals no longer have to brave the daily traffic on their commute to work. This gives them the liberty to move farther away from major metropolitan districts, and settle down in less busier parts of the metro with open, nature-filled environments.
As people realize the need for healthier lifestyles, families are now on the lookout for green and peaceful communities that give them room to move, work out, explore, and live life to the fullest. Lush lawns, pocket gardens and planned outdoor spaces provide the landscape for residents to breathe and relax, and a secure environment for children to play and make memories. These areas provide them a respite from the urban bustle, while staying close to the comforts of the city. These include malls, banks, groceries, hospitals, and even schools.
A community that can accommodate all their needs
As people continue to work from home, there is a growing demand for emerging neighborhoods that offer a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere while maintaining conveniences at an arm’s reach. These make self-sustaining communities an attractive prospect for families and professionals looking to make their property investment.
Perhaps you’re planning a family soon, or you want to leave properties for your children. A property that uplifts one’s quality of life within a vibrant community is a worthwhile investment for you and your loved ones and helps secure their future. When deciding on your next property investment, choose premium-quality developments by reputable developers that offer great value for their properties, while providing comfort, security, and a lively neighborhood.
East Bay Residences offers a serene environment while keeping a diverse mix of retail establishments and services within reach. Its location along KM21 East Service Road in Sucat, Muntinlupa, allows families a respite from the metro’s busy nature without venturing far from its comforts. Its strategic location lets you enjoy city conveniences nearby, while its curated Retail Row offers a mix of businesses that cater to diverse and varied lifestyle choices.
Working from home may just very well be the future of the workplace. Hence, now is a good time to plan ahead and invest in a property that can accommodate your lifestyle now and in the future. Work at home does not have to impact your family life––so it’s time to invest in a space that allows you to balance work and play. With wide and open spaces, exclusive condo amenities, and lush outdoor areas, East Bay Residences in Sucat, Muntinlupa, gives you more room to breathe. A self-sustaining community surrounded by lush greenery, East Bay Residences is your new urban sanctuary.

What Convinced This Entrepreneur To Get A Condo During This Time
Is there really a right time to invest in your dream space? Here’s what businessman Christopher Castillo has to say.
Owning your own home or property is a dream most Filipinos have. But in these tough times, this dream takes a backseat. Many second guess spending their hard-earned money on most things, let alone big investments.
Investing, especially in your dream space — a place where you can put down roots or transform into a business opportunity — isn’t something to be afraid of.
According to Christopher Castillo, 32, an entrepreneur, real estate property manager, trader, and investor, investing in your dream space should remain a priority, particularly for young Filipino professionals.
There is no space for overthinking in investing
As an entrepreneur, Castillo is very familiar with taking calculated risks and planning for the future. He’s had his fair share of setbacks in his businesses, but he has always managed to learn from them.
Christopher Castillo says that when it comes to investing, “you have to be mentally and financially prepared.”
To Castillo, growth requires grit, or “mental toughness,” and this attitude also applies in investing.
“I personally think that some Filipinos are intimidated to invest because they tend to overthink. They question themselves with negative thought patterns like ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ or ‘What if I never achieve this goal?’ They generally focus more on what could go wrong, rather than what could go right,” he says.
“If you are willing to do what’s easy, life will be hard. But, if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy,” he adds.
Having the ‘right mindset’ is crucial when making investments
Castillo believes that waiting is a common mistake most people make in terms of investing.
“It all comes down to having the right mindset,” he explains. “You just have to be mentally and financially prepared. As the saying goes, when it feels scary to jump, that’s exactly the time you jump. Otherwise, you’ll end up staying in the same place your whole life.”
Castillo also believes that putting your money in real estate, such as a condominium development, right now is a smart move.
He says: “Just like in the stock market, when prices are low, you grab the opportunity to buy. In real estate, the value appreciates every year, that’s why I didn’t hesitate [to invest in a condo last year]. The price was a bargain for me. It’s like buying on a discounted rate, which was a good deal.”
Setbacks shouldn’t stop you from investing in your dream space
Like many Filipinos, Castilo was not spared from the pandemic’s impact. At its height, he felt devastated when he had to shut down three of his food businesses. He took some time to reflect and think of ways to recuperate his losses. And that’s when he noticed that the pandemic did not have a huge impact on the real estate industry.
When he found out about The Larsen Tower, the latest development at the 7.2-hectare vibrant community of East Bay Residences, a project of Primaries, A Rockwell Company, Castillo grabbed the opportunity to invest in his dream space.

“I’m the kind of person who always plans ahead. I took the chance to purchase the unit because you can never go wrong with a real estate investment. This asset will continue to grow over time even in a recession or other market conditions,” he explains
For Castillo, a unit at the 20-story The Larsen Tower is a versatile investment. He plans to use his condo unit first as a start-up home with his future wife, then as a business opportunity that will create passive income when they start a family.
As a future home, Castillo likes that The Larsen Tower is at a strategic location. The condo is situated in East Service Road, Sucat, Muntinlupa, just minutes away from Alabang. It is near retail and entertainment hubs and service centers, including East Bay Residences’ own
East Bay Retail Row.
What attracted Castillo, too, are the well-thought-out amenities The Larsen Tower will offer. There are lap and kiddie pools, a fitness gym, functions areas, jogging paths, wide-open spaces, and an abundance of nature.
East Bay Residences features first-class amenities, including outdoor pools.
And with the variety of unit types The Larsen Tower has to offer — from one-bedroom units to two-bedroom homes to even three-bedroom residences — it really is the ideal home for independent living, couples, and growing families.
Investing in a condo requires a developer you can trust
When investing in a condo unit, you must consider these important factors when researching its developer: the company’s background, financial stability, workmanship quality, track record, and portfolio.
For Castillo, Primaries, A Rockwell Company ticked all of these boxes. So, when the chance to purchase a unit at The Larsen Tower made its way to Castillo, it was love at first sight.
East Bay Retail Row has a curated array of restaurants, retail stores, and service shops.
“The brand speaks for itself,” the entrepreneur shares. “I have always been a fan of Rockwell properties because of its astounding projects, but I didn’t get the chance to invest before because the prices were out of my reach.”
“When I visited East Bay Residences, … I just fell in love with the place,” he adds.
Things come and go. That’s why when investing in your dream space, it’s best to take advantage of an opportunity, especially if the means are already there. You might even want to check out The Larsen Tower as Castillo did!
Lastly, one final piece of advice from Castillo for those who are thinking of getting their own dream space but feel hesitant: “Think of the bigger picture. Don’t focus on fear, risks, and setbacks. Instead, focus on the opportunities, potential growth, and rewards.”

The Larsen Tower: Spaces built to last
Spending our days at home these past months has made us realize how important it is to find the right place to live in that meets all your needs as a resident.
Gone are the days when home is just a place to rest and re-energize before you face your daily lives outside of your abode.
Now is the time to choose a home that will accommodate all your needs whether amid this pandemic and even way beyond when it’s over.
While location has been the top consideration in choosing a place to live in under the old normal, the pandemic has made us realize how important it is to also find residential spaces that offer you comfort as well as the flexibility to accommodate your work from home requirements.
Those needs are something that East Bay Residences, a property developed by Primaries, A Rockwell Company can address in its 7.2 hectare residential community in Sucat, Muntinlupa.
The Larsen Tower is the latest residential tower at the East Bay Residences, a residential community that offers 60 percent open spaces, giving residents easy access to an abundance of nature. It follows the 15-storey The Fordham Tower, the community’s first residential tower in East Bay Residences.
With its low-density floors, housing just 20 units per floor, residents are given a feel of exclusivity from the moment they step out of their doors.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
Location will always be an important consideration in choosing a place to live in.
With its strategic location near two main roads as well as key landmarks in Muntinlupa, residents of The Larsen Tower stand to gain from the strategic location of the project. The tower is accessible to business centers and city essentials.
East Bay Residences is only six kilometers (kms) away from Alabang and 11 kms away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It is also in close proximity to a number of expressways such as the South Luzon Expressway, Skyway, Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX), and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) as well as prominent roads such as the Alabang-Zapote Road and Sucat Road.
The project is also a 14 km distance from business districts in Makati and Taguig, and is just 16 kms away from the Entertainment City in Pasay City.
The residential community is accessible for a quick getaway further south to Laguna, which is 40 kms away, as well as the areas of Cavite and Batangas.
SPACIOUS UNITS
Staying true to the project’s low-density features, residents are also provided with more room to breathe as well as the comfort to move around in their own units as The Larsen Tower offers spacious units.
This is exemplified by the wider cut units with a one-bedroom unit sized at 35 square meters (sqm) being the smallest unit it has to offer. The one-bedroom unit offers enough space for a young entrepreneur or could also serve as a viable investment for a budding professional.
The Larsen Tower also offers two-bedroom units sized at 57 sqm, just the right size for a future home for starting families to invest in. In addition, it also features two-bedroom prime units measuring 65 sqm, perfect to cater to every family member’s needs.
Units of the project can go as big as 107 sqm for a three-bedroom unit, which is ideal for a growing family to make room to create more memories.
With its variety of unit type offerings, The Larsen Tower can address the needs of both residential end-users and investors.
A VARIETY OF AMENITIES
While residents may already have enough rooms within their units to pursue some of their hobbies and interests, staying indoors makes us crave for fresh air and a change of scenery.
Fortunately, residents of The Larsen Tower will not need to look far for leisurely activities as almost a hectare of amenities is within their reach.
There’s no need to head out to an out of town resort for a quick swim as the Central Amenity area features both a lap pool and a kiddie pool, ensuring that every member of the family has something to enjoy. Health enthusiasts will also be treated to a fitness gym as well as a jogging path to suit their daily workout needs. The community’s wide open spaces also provides an ideal respite with easy access to nature.
In addition, The Larsen Tower has its own Sun Lounge where one can savor the fresh air and a view of the Central Amenity area, which features a function room for events.
RETAIL CONVENIENCE
These times have made us realize more than ever the importance of having your needs within your reach in the community you live in, as we tend to limit the time we spend outside of our homes. But pandemic or not, having all the necessary establishments nearby will save residents their time and energy.
The Larsen Tower brings convenience to the next level with the wide-array of retail options at the East Bay Retail Row, which features a selection of service shops and restaurants. Among these include Starbucks Coffee, The Marketplace, BDO, Suds Go, Pan De Manila, RoyceTea, and Prim & Pretty.

Long term positive effects will lead to sustainable investment.
Legislatively, Muntinlupa has taken it upon itself to enforce more green policies not only to reduce its carbon footprint, but also to save the oceans. Muntinlupa was one of the first cities in the country to ban styrofoams and implement strict rules in single use plastic.

Consider Convenience and Accessibility
Think about your work location as a factor in choosing your dwelling. Having a place close to your office allows you to reduce travel time significantly, giving you more free time for yourself and your family.

East Bay Residences, for instance, is located near the Skyway, making it a prime choice for young professionals seeking to avoid the traffic of Metro Manila.
Residents headed for Pasay and further into EDSA can go through NAIAX or SLEX. If they need to go further South, all they need to do is take the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway and CALAX, they’re well on their way.
Find a Place That Accommodates Your Day-to-Day
Life can be a lot more convenient if your location has easy access to places of interest like shopping malls, grocery stores, and curated service shops. You’ll find yourself navigating your days with ease and delight since these places are a stone’s throw away from your home. East Bay Residences provides residents easy access to these leisures. With a retail row located within the condominium community, residents can purchase their essentials from groceries, service shops, or buy savory meals at food stops.
Consider Spaces and Amenities for Taking a Breather
Another important factor in maintaining a relaxing way of living would be to consider what to do in your spare time. Aside from the usual tasks and to-dos both at home and at work, you need to find a place where you can just sit down and take a breather.
East Bay Residences’ remarkable amenities and facilities offer you comfort and ease. You could read a good book at their outdoor lounges or teach your kids to swim at their swimming pools. There is also a gym available in case working out is your way of relaxing after a long day of work.
Get To Know The Community
When it comes to selecting a place to live in, it pays to do research on the kind of community culture the developer is often associated with. This gives you an idea of how your neighbors can potentially be like. One example would be Rockwell’s standard of excellence. Over the years, Rockwell has managed to uplift and secure an affluent community where residents can enjoy an exceptional lifestyle.

How to Choose your First Investment Property
As a young professional, you will always hear the saying “make your money work for you”. It is a call to action to put your money into investments with the promise of yielding better returns than keeping money in the bank. Investing diversifies the streams of income you get, yielding you more money for roughly the same amount of work.
First time investors usually aim for investments that pose low risks and those that consume less time and effort. That said, it’s strongly advised to have a variety of investment options to determine which one brings the most returns. This allows you to “test the waters” and widen your financial literacy while already generating passive income.
One potential investment opportunity is real estate. Compared to other investment types such as stocks and cryptocurrency, the housing market is faced with relatively lower risks than most. Choosing which property to invest in can be overwhelming when presented with all available options. Knowing which would appeal to you and your potential renters can be tricky especially when trying to determine which factors to consider when choosing between different properties. Here are some tips that can help narrow down your search criteria and lead you to your first investment property.

“Location, location, location”. This popular mantra was coined by real estate experts worldwide, emphasizing the impact of a property’s address. Factors such as accessibility, type of neighborhood, and distance from business districts and tourist destinations play a big role in determining a property’s overall value. There are many things that can change in a property, like furnishings or establishments near it that may or may not increase its value. All these can change, except for its location, making it one of the most crucial aspects of finding a property to invest in.
Strategic locations, such as an emerging neighborhood, are beneficial in terms of the property’s appreciation because of the gradual improvements in its surroundings. This also increases the value of the property because it heightens the demand in terms of rentals. As an added note, consider pedestrian friendly and safe environments. They tend to be more appealing to potential residents, making it a characteristic you may want to look for when choosing your first investment property.
Sucat in Muntinlupa is a fine example of a convenient location considering its accessibility to CBDs while maintaining a conservative distance that allows for a relatively tranquil atmosphere. Being a few kilometers away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Alabang CBD, Makati CBD, and Bonifacio Global City, properties in Sucat inherently have that desired accessibility, making it the ideal location for an investment property.
Know Your Market’s Needs
After determining which location you would want to search for your ideal property, the next step is identifying your target market and their needs, which will help you narrow down your options when it comes to purchasing property.
Know what best suits your potential tenants. Factors such as demographics, size of the household, demands in space, type of lifestyle they are accustomed to, and their daily routine can help you determine what their needs and wants are. Once you’ve determined this, you will have a good idea what property they’ll most likely invest in. Their business location, workplace, and children’s schools will mostly likely determine their location of choice.
If you’re looking into targeting families as your renters, consider investing in big unit cuts. Usually having 3 to 5 members per household, they prefer spacious units with access to business districts, shopping malls, and schools. Targeting families as potential tenants would be beneficial in terms of demand for rentals for your property.
Consider Features and Amenities
Another important factor would be ensuring your soon-to-be property’s features and amenities are ideal for you and your potential renters. As an example, if you are aiming for families as your target market, think about investing in a property with well-maintained amenities that address their needs.
Look for amenities such as playgrounds, swimming pools, or recreational centers since these promote an active lifestyle, making it more appealing to the single family market. Having sprawling greenery and wide open spaces where children can safely explore is a haven for growing families.
If you’re targeting young professionals, consider their needs – a gym for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a nearby chain of restaurants and bars where they can potentially hang out with their friends.
Know the Qualities of a Good Developer
Being your first investment, it is ideal to choose a property developer who is reputable, reliable, and considerate of the needs of their investors and residents. Respected developers are known for the strategic locations of their properties and their allocation of staff to ensure proper management and maintenance of each unit.
Look for a developer who works hand in hand with investors by assuring them that their investments are in safe hands. Knowing that your properties are being thoughtfully looked after and maintained gives you peace of mind. It also keeps you confident about getting a tenant in the soonest possible time.
Lastly, some developers help you find tenants for your investment property through leasing services. Rockwell Land Corporation, for instance, offers to do this through one of its many convenient end-to-end services.
With its potential returns and minimal management requirement, investing in a property is a great way to diversify your investment portfolio. It may seem challenging to choose the ideal unit to invest in, but given enough knowledge and proper guidance, you will definitely find a strategic property, run by a good developer who can help you get the most out of your investment.

The Larsen Tower: Preferred address in Sucat
East Bay Residences continues to transform the suburban landscape with this latest residential tower.
A vibrant enclave in Sucat gives you even more reasons to set your roots in this part of the metro.
East Bay Residences—a 9.7-hectare parcel of land formerly known as the Tribeca Private Residences—has seen a massive and remarkable transformation over the last several years, which made it one of few remaining premium residential areas in Muntinlupa City, offering that much sought suburban, laidback overtone in a secure, exclusive community.
Breathing life into the old
It was in 2014 when Rockwell Primaries started to breathe new life into the old Tribeca community, bringing Rockwell’s signature flair, opulence and lifestyle to Sucat.
A promising blueprint then envisioned a dynamic, mid-density community that espouses a warm, comfy and safe environment, replete with wide, generous expanse of greens and lush open spaces, groundbreaking designs, well appointed amenities, and comforts of modern conveniences.
The opening of the Central Amenity Deck started that series of transformations that overhauled this enclave. Residents here were given a one-hectare expanse housing choice amenities that offered more recreational options: swimming pools, a function room and fully equipped gym to cater to their social, lifestyle and wellness needs.
A new opportunity to own a home here came next, with the launch of East Bay Residences’ first residential condominium in 2016: The Fordham Tower, which featured large, spacious unit cuts to suit the needs of modern urban dwellers.
Further upping the ante was the addition of East Bay Retail Row which made “stepping out” of your home a truly pleasurable experience. Today, Starbucks Coffee, The Marketplace, a BDO branch and Suds Go offer the ease of having a grocery, coffee shop, a bank and laundry shop practically right out of your doorstep. And soon, more restaurants and lifestyle boutiques will provide a new level of convenience for residents.
Clearly, the vision has turned into a reality. East Bay Residences has not only redefined the cityscape in Sucat, but also brought the curated lifestyle of Rockwell in this thriving sanctuary.
Latest project
And just recently, Rockwell Primaries launched its second residential condominium here: The Larsen Tower, offering its future homebuyers another opportunity to indulge in the aspirational lifestyle of a Rockwell community. No doubt, The Larsen Tower will be a much welcome addition to this already vibrant community.
Prospective buyers will be spoiled for choice as The Larsen Tower offers diverse unit sizes to cater to a variety of lifestyles. It introduced one-bedroom units (with sizes up to 39 sqm) to suit a young professional’s needs for a home to call their own. Two- to three-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 54 sqm to 107 sqm, offer bigger space for families, while three-bedroom garden units boast of having a dedicated parking space and terrace.
Upon its completion in 2024, future residents will get to fully enjoy the features of The Larsen Tower, among them would be the Sun Lounge, located on the ground floor, where one can welcome guests or find respite for themselves in the airy space.
This lounge leads to the expansive Central Amenity Deck, where residents may enjoy a variety of indoor and outdoor amenities. The clubhouse holds a function room for gatherings, while the gym, jogging path and lap pool would allow you to keep track with your fitness and wellness goals. A kiddie pool and the great lawn offer lush spaces where families and friends can spend quality time.
Future residents will also get to readily enjoy the convenience offered by East Bay Retail Row as this commercial strip is already open and filled with shops for your everyday needs. Add to that East Bay Residences’ prime location, which is just within driving distance from key destinations, institutions and establishments.
Indeed, The Larsen Tower only gives you more reasons to choose the southern part of the metro for your suburban home, with more spaces to explore and amenities to enjoy, and that comforting Rockwell promise of security, convenience and an enhanced lifestyle.
