Homebuyer Tip: Knock on Wood — literally

The first thing you need to know when checking wood in your new home or home-to-be is that appearances can be deceiving. How a wooden beam looks like, for example, has no bearing on its condition. A perfect-looking beam or wood trim may hide a rotting interior, courtesy of termites and wear and tear due to extreme temperatures.

What exactly does full-service residential suites mean? Here's a description from property developer Antel Land Holdings Inc.:

Imagine coming home after a stressful day at work to have your massage treatment right where you live. Meet up with your friends at the rooftop coffee shop or have your special events at the ballroom or resort spa garden ballroom. No maids to clean up? Then just call the housekeeping. Too tired to cook? No, problem, there's room service.


Get it? It's like living in a hotel or resort. This is probably Antel's premise when they launched the Antel Spa Residences, touted to be the Philippines' first Full-Service Residential Suites "Lifestyle" Tower.

Let's check out Antel's launch announcement for the Antel Spa Residences (thanks to Dave Ballesteros of dbmedia):



The revolutionary FSRS concept pioneered by Antel Land Holdings Inc. in 2005 is a new development category that provides true hotel facilities and services in a residential condominium at the onset, a big departure from the traditional hybrid condo-tel and apartelle style buildings wherein the hotel services are just merely add-ons to the existing structures.

Thus FSRS will soon become the benchmark for future residential towers in the country, spearheaded by fast-rising 29-story Antel Spa Residences and its predecessor The A. Venue Residences.

“The uniqueness and versatility of FSRS separate Antel Spa Residence from our competitors, since it espouses the company’s ideals to offer prospective tenants with the convenience and prestige of a condo address where hotel services are at your beck and call,” said Antel director for sales Miguel Gascon.

According to him, the FSRS features equip Antel Spa Residences with full hotel services, with complete and master-planned “back-of-the-house” facilities, storage, warehousing, offices, manpower support, concierge, and laundry, which further the total pampering experience.

“With the FSRS in mind, Antel Spa Residences even becomes responsive to special needs because it offers guests and tenants a chance to imbibe a wholistic lifestyle that is within reach, 24/7. Antel Spa Residences offers a balanced approach in providing both quality hotel servicing and comprehensive health and wellness program that lets weary city dwellers and even tourists immerse in stress-free environs” Gascon noted.

Modern conveniences and breathing spaces are well considered at Antel Spa Residences, as it keeps abreast with today’s changing lifestyles such as demanding jobs, tight work schedules, and traffic woes. The lifestyle tower, in short, makes condo living in the metro a viable and timely option for tourists, families, and independent urbanites.

Antel Spa Residences houses a wide range of spa and wellness facilities, like a Wellness Academy where you can learn the latest and most effective health trends like yoga and Pilates plus personalized diet programs, alternative healing and detoxification processes, a nature trail, meditative sanctuary, private spa and massage centers, sauna baths, resort spa and kiddie pool, rooftop infinity pool and lounge, and a commercial area for organic restaurants, markets, beauty and medical clinics, and wellness shops, just an elevator ride away.

Designed by architect Edward Co Tan, the healthy lifestyle-oriented environs of Antel Spa Residences is but part of the sprawling 1.7-hectare Antel Lifestyle City. Strategically found also in the enclave are the A. Venue Event Mall that houses a variety of high-end dining bars, clubs, coffee shops, themed bazaars and a 2000-sqm international standard events hall and A. Venue Residences, which also carries with it the unique elements and functionality of FSRS.

Live a whole new way of life at Antel Spa Residences, where the privilege of readily available services and amenities plus a premier Makati Avenue address can be yours in one taking.
