Empire East Tops Off New Covent Garden Tower Near University Belt

Lifestyle innovator Empire East Land Holdings Inc. tops off the North Residences of Covent Garden, marking the structural completion of this luxurious two-tower development at Santa Mesa, Manila with close proximity to the premier academic institutions in the “University Belt.”

The topping-off ceremony for this new residential was led by the President and CEO of Empire East, Atty. Anthony Charlemagne C. Yu, together with First Vice President for Property Development, Engr. Arminius M. Madridejos, and its team of engineers, architects, and construction partners.

"With the topping-off of Covent Garden's North Residences, we celebrate Empire East’s stride towards accelerated community development, offering premium quality homes and reshaping the urban landscape,” Atty. Yu said.

A Contemporary Haven of Deluxe Amenities and Features

Covent Garden is a two-tower, juxtaposed residential development along Santol Street Extension and Magsaysay Boulevard, seamlessly standing on a 5-level podium with three parking levels. The North Residences, which will soon be turned over to homebuyers, graciously soars up to 30 levels, presenting an array of residential suites elegantly designed to cater to diverse lifestyles.

Boasting of a low density with only 20 suites per floor, the tower strikes a harmonious balance between exclusivity and community. Similarly, the South Residences, which has already been ready for occupancy since 2020, showcases only 25 suites on each floor with options of executive studios, one-to-two-bedroom suites, and bi-level suites.

Covent Garden delights its residents with world-class recreational amenities, including an inviting 22-meter lap pool, a well-equipped fitness gym, a lively outdoor bar and lounge for leisurely gatherings, an energizing jogging path, lush greeneries and pocket gardens, and a multi-purpose function room for private celebrations.

The residential suites feature spacious living, dining and kitchen areas, efficiently designed toilet and bath, and a cozy sleeping or bedroom space with picturesque views of the Metro Manila skyline.

"As we continuously address the rising demand for urban condo living, this is an ideal investment choice for young professionals, starting families, as well as for investors who can target to lease out the condo units to students in the nearby University Belt. At Covent Garden, we promise quality homes and convenient lifestyles, assuring homebuyers a worthy return on investment that they deserve," added Atty. Yu.

A Strategic Locale for a Dynamic Lifestyle

With a prime location near the University Belt, Covent Garden offers multiple benefits - accessibility, convenience, and security - complementing the needs of students looking for upscale living options near their universities, young professionals who want a transit-oriented lifestyle, and those who wish for a secured investment through an exceptional residential community.

“Its proximity to major transportation hubs ensures that residents can easily navigate the city. It is also close to prime educational institutions and business districts, which is an apt choice for students and young professionals,” Atty. Yu emphasized.

The residential development stretches towards the heart of Metro Manila, surrounded by other prime institutions, such as the University of the East, Far Eastern University, San Beda University, San Sebastian College Recoletos, Central College of the Philippines, UERM, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and the University of Santo Tomas. Hence, establishing Covent Garden as an ideal address for proactive students and event-filled young professionals occupied with numerous tasks, meetings, and deadlines.

Its walkability to the LRT-2 V. Mapa station, as well as to Pureza station, provide significant value to its residents. Being just minutes away from the train stations, residents of Covent Garden can easily travel around the metro with a simple hop on and hop off. Thus, it equips daily commuters with an accessible and practical way to travel without worrying about traffic congestion or finding parking spaces.

"As Covent Garden offers a proximity to prestigious educational institutions, students can utilize their time from the shorter commute, allowing them to focus more on their studies and individual growth. This convenience, combined with essential personal benefits and a supportive community, creates an ideal environment for developing minds," Atty. Yu emphasized.

As the national emergency for the pandemic has been lifted in the country, having a home near the University Belt is even more advantageous. The resurgence of face-to-face classes and return-to-office setup will not be a challenge to residents of Covent Garden. Students and young professionals can now enjoy the comfort of living close to their schools and workplaces without worrying about long commutes. They can also enjoy a healthy balance of the luxurious amenities and exciting activities in the city.

Covent Garden is a dynamic and innovative high-rise residential development thoughtfully designed to cater to the aspirations and needs of discerning urban dwellers. The topping-off ceremony of the North Residences serves as a symbolic testament to Empire East's unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional living experiences. Covent Garden's North Residences presents a remarkable opportunity for students and young professionals to become part of a vibrant community and build their careers in the heart of the metro.
