|

REWARDS HOTEL, a condominium project to be operated as a hotel for investment purposes. It is said to be the FIRST because the concept is different from the traditional condominium hotels in the market today. The real estate industry in the Philippines, especially the condo hotel sector is on its way up and is gaining momentum for a fast paced growth in the next two years or so. Hence, this is the most opportune timing in investing in a Condotel in the Philippines. Firstly, it will be the first project in this category which is 100% for investment purpose where the units are fully owned by the buyers/investors and leased back to the developer-operator as part of the pooled hotel rooms. Secondly, it is the first project to be funded, developed, and operated by a cooperative whose common bond of association is Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). |
