Shang Residences at Wack Wack takes its cue from brand’s resorts

With spectacular views of Wack Wack golf course and the Makati skyline, Shang Wack Wack was designed

to be a sanctuary in the city.

They always say there are three things to consider when buying real estate: location, location, location. That may have been a hard and fast rule before, but today two other things have also proven important in choosing a condo home: brand and design. 

The 50-story Shang Wack Wack is located just off Shaw Boulevard and inside the Wack Wack enclave.

Shang Residence Wack Wack features pools for adults and children, cabanas, a running path, a fitness center and function rooms on the second level.

Shang Properties Inc. (SPI) — the developer of high-end residential condominiums such as Horizons Homes at Shangri-La at the Fort, St. Francis Shangri-La Place, One Shangri-La Place, Shang Salcedo Place and The Rise Makati — has put together all three elements in its new development, Shang Residences at Wack Wack, which was launched just three weeks ago.

What a view! Shang Residences Wack Wack faces the Wack Wack Golf Course and Country Club on one side and has views of the Makati skyline on the other side.

The 50-story Shang Wack Wack’s location is just off Shaw Boulevard and inside the Wack Wack enclave. This landmark district is an important hub for business and lifestyle, with prestigious schools and universities, world-class medical facilities, and top shopping and entertainment centers within the area. It also allows for easy travel to and from key cities, including San Juan, Pasig, Mandaluyong, and Makati. Major thoroughfares are also easily accessible, so even Quezon City and Manila are a quick drive away.

Shang Properties marketing director Milen G. Treichler says, “The location in itself is pretty unique. The fact that it is right across a golf course — in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city — is very special and the views are priceless.”

The two-bedroom units offer a spacious living and dining area fit for families.

She adds that this pretty much dictated the design of the building. The wider façade faces the golf course while the other side has views of the Makati skyline.

“We designed it, like a resort getaway because we realized that people today are into wellness and healthy living. The patch of green makes it a nice urban retreat.”

Because the inspiration is resort living, all units have balconies and with panoramic windows to take advantage of the views. Slatted wood and earth tones are used throughout the interiors and public spaces, giving the building a breezy feel.

With a breathtaking view of Wack Wack Golf and Country Club, The Panorama Room creates a spectacular backdrop for any event.

There are pools for adults and children, cabanas, a running path, a fitness center and function rooms on the second level.

Unlike SPI’s other developments which have commercial spaces on the ground floor or are attached to Shangri-La Plaza Mall, the new property is purely residential. “We intentionally didn’t put a commercial section at all because we wanted it exclusively for the residents. Besides, just outside the property are malls and supermarkets.”

The gym is built to emphasize a balanced lifestyle and provides ample space to unwind and rejuvenate.

“We’re very strict about the security of our residents and our buildings, so we don’t allow owners to include their units on Airbnb, but of course they can lease it out long term, which is a better option for those who buy as an investment,” she says. “Our property management will help investors sell or rent their units out.” 

Like all SPI residential condominiums, the luxury is also found in the spaces themselves — units start at 80 sqm. for one bedroom and 200-plus sqm. for three bedrooms; prices from P18 million to P53 million and up.

Turn the second bedroom into a dreamy kids’ room.

“Shang Residences Wack Wack buyers would have the same profile of our typical buyers, who are young married couples, older professionals and empty nesters. Wack Wack Village is a classic example of a subdivision with big family homes. I would think that a lot of residents are now empty nesters who want to downscale but not move too far away.” 

The two-bedroom unit’s master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and a full bath with tub.
