Shang Properties Launches “The Rise”, a New Living Concept at the Heart of Noma, or the North Makati District

8 May 2014, Philippines – Shang Properties, Inc., the country’s premier luxury property developer introduces a unique, new living concept now rising at the heart of NOMA, or North Makati – the city’s burgeoning art and creative center. The Rise Makati is a one-of-a-kind residential and commercial complex designed with Shang Properties’ signature build quality, combining celebrated world-class modern architecture and interior design. It sets itself apart from the rest with an innovative approach to city living and an entirely unique amenities concept.

Located conveniently just north of Ayala Avenue along Malugay St., Makati City, The Rise is only eight (8) minutes away from the Makati Central Business District. The area is known for its unique mix of galleries, delicatessens and bistros, indie music venues, and one-of-a-kind retail experiences – all of which are only a stone’s throw away.

“The Rise Makati is an active and thriving creative community for like minded people to come together. With its exceptional approach to space, architecture and design, we wanted to create not only a residential offering but a unique new living concept where people can inspire each other to follow their passions,” says Robert Cruz, Sales Director of Shang Properties. “The idea behind The Rise in part, is to inspire young people and families to create their homes the way they wish to build their lives and we, at Shang Properties, take this vision to heart.”

World Class Amenities and Retail, Dining, & Services Tailored For You

Dubbed Spaces at The Rise, The Rise presents a brand new concept that redefines what best-in-class amenities mean. Divided into The Hangout, The Nest, and The Workshop – Spaces at The Rise is designed to let its residents decide how they want to play, relax, and work.

The Hangout is a 300 square meter space of open lounge area perfect for entertaining friends and family, whether it’s a special occasion or just to catch up over a cup of coffee. It includes games like an electronic dartboard as well as vending machines.

The Workshop is a fully stocked, purpose-designed workroom, which features an I.T. bar, a library, a reading room, and multi-purpose function rooms and spaces perfect for studying, brainstorming, or meeting.

The Nest is a relaxation and wellness zone that provides a refuge from the fast-paced city life and an opportunity to curl up on a swinging hammock, lounge around in the garden terraces, or to just get lost in a good book.

The Rise also boasts of a 28 meter tropical pool and kids’ pool, a 380-meter private jogging path set in lush green landscaping, a 280 square meter children’s play space, a barbecue patio, and a two-storey world-class gym packed with premier training and exercise equipment designed for young professionals and families who work hard and play hard.
