What to Look for When Buying Luxury in Ortigas
Mall Proximity: The single most important location factor in Ortigas. Units within walking distance of The Podium, SM Megamall, or Robinsons Galleria command significant rental premiums.
MRT Connectivity: Units within walking distance of Ortigas MRT station command 10-15% rental premiums. MRT connectivity is essential for BPO professionals who commute daily.
Floor Level: Ortigas' luxury premium is heavily floor-dependent. Units below the 20th floor are premium but not ultra-luxury. True luxury starts at the 25th floor and above.
Brand Premium: Branded residences (Westin, Shangri-La) command 15-25% rental premiums over comparable non-branded units. The brand premium is worth paying for investors who want the highest-income tenant profile.
