Step into any Shang Properties residence today, and you’ll find people of all ages enjoying premium living. This highly regarded developer prides itself in designing and thoughtfully curating spaces that can readily cater to every generation and stage of life.
Such enduring acclaim is not without reason.

The addresses are designed with a deep understanding of the current and classic demands of the homebuying market. They are built in places that are not only strategic, but also see more progress ahead. Shang Properties has also partnered with leaders in design and construction to build iconic structures that transform cityscapes and charm people of all age groups.

Up and coming communities

You will find those very same elements in two more communities by Shang Properties: Haraya Residences at the Bridgetowne Destination Estate, and Laya by Shang Properties in Oranbo, Pasig City.

With both projects, Shang Properties encompasses the needs and sensibilities of homebuyers from all generations. The 57-story Haraya Residences is a “vertical gated village for the modern era” while Laya by Shang Properties is a 67-story tower that challenges dwellers to “nest easy, live boldly.”

Broad appeal

One factor that exemplifies their broad appeal is the configuration of each unit. Haraya offers 558 one- to three-bedroom units.

The one-bedroom units range from 60 sqm to 87 sqm, fitting the needs of solo dwellers and budding families. The largest offerings can go up to 187 sqm. Each unit rewards its owner with unprecedented flexibility in space usage, plus a luxurious Italian-inspired loggia.

Laya has an even bigger selection, with 1,283 units in four cuts. Studio units—ideal for young professionals—begin at 33 sqm. The three-bedroom units, up to 149 sqm, can accommodate bigger households. They are laid out with two balconies each, giving residents amazing vistas of Mega Manila.

Ultimate lifestyle

Whatever unit you pick, Shang Properties guarantees superb curation for ultimate exclusivity, comfort and luxury, as well as access to resort-like amenities. The swimming pools and gardens are a universal hit, with the “Shang” assurance sure to elevate them. The properties also include fitness-centered amenities like gyms and yoga studios.

At Haraya Residences, young people will enjoy The Studio, a flexible and open creative space. They will also seek an unhurried morning on The Lawn or the chance to be alone with their book in The Library. Older folks may want to spend time chit-chatting with friends in The Tea Room or a social gathering at The Chef’s Kitchen.

Laya by Shang Properties, meanwhile, has dedicated workspaces, versatile function rooms, cozy private lounges and collaborative meeting areas. It also features its own private screening room and The Drawing Room, an expansive private event space.

There is a lot more to discover. Laya by Shang Properties offers 2,934-plus sqm of world-class amenities. For Haraya Residences, the outdoor amenities alone cover over 2,500 sqm.

Urban universe

Just beyond the spaces and experiences within Laya by Shang Properties and Haraya Residences, an urban universe awaits.

Bridgetowne, where Haraya Residences rises, is a new mixed-use township in the C5 beltway. Oranbo, where Laya by Shang Properties is, is a well-connected district in Pasig.

Both residences have access to Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Center, as well as top schools, retail spaces, recreational spots and more. Big-ticket projects ensure much more progress in the future, even as the two are already centrally located.

All those winning elements explain why residents of whatever age thrive at addresses by Shang Properties—and why these defy time and appeal to all of us.
