Meaningful new beginnings at Empress
Ihave no proof of Chinese ancestry, but I read up about my luck whenever the Lunar New Year comes. After all, there is nothing to lose. Plus, if the Jade Emperor watches, at least I try to get on their good side. To earn their favor would be most auspicious on the “Year of Thundering Water Tiger,” as based on forecasts.
The tiger represents many good things to the ancient Chinese. It is known to have turned its back on negative traits like cruelty and selfishness in favor of generosity and service. It is also associated with new beginnings, ambition and courage.
The tiger is the first of three signs representing spring, a reemergence from the winter triennium that history books will link to COVID-19, recessions and conflicts. Mythology likewise links the animal to the defeat of evil. Combine all that with the fact that this is a year of yang (activity) and of water (opportunity), and great hope springs.
It is thus a year for calculated risks, experts agree. The period is auspicious for big changes: learning new skills, switching careers, starting a business, even moving to a new home. On the last matter, Ortigas Land has an offering for you to pounce at: Empress at Capitol Commons.
1. Much like Chinese astrology, the 56-story Empress can help you achieve harmony with nature and do well in life.
As the country’s pioneering wellness lifestyle real estate, the building is designed and built sustainably. It is a green building that boasts biophilic features and even integrates feng shui. The building gives you refuge but does not isolate you from the rest of life.
Capitol Commons is masroom terplanned with a live-workplay philosophy so you are near retail spaces, work opportunities, hangouts, open spaces and roads leading to key spots in the capital.
2. Empress exemplifies what the experts advise: Delineate spaces for work (yang) and rest (yin).
This move would ensure that the energies do not converge and confuse dwellers. You achieve optimum rest in one place and maximum stamina in another, especially as work- and study-from-home setups remain.
Empress itself marks its amenities as Quiet and Active Zones, using chromotherapy to optimize the spaces. With just 771 studio to three-bedunits on offer, you get not just privacy but also space to move things around. After all, feng shui experts annually suggest new decor to improve the chi! A suggestion transcending years is decluttering. With wider cuts at Empress, you can have more storage space and a higher threshold for “too much.”
3. It is a year to work smarter, not harder; a year for intelligence and innovation.
While we often encounter this axiom, it is consequential in a year attributed to an animal that waits for the right moment.
If you invest in prime real estate like Empress now, you get the benefits of the buyer’s market before a full recovery ends it, and reap the rewards of capital appreciation early on. It’s an investment that will outlast the Year of the Tiger. With the classic sophistication of the units coupled with the new normal features—foremost of which are the 5G connectivity that permits speedy Internet and the smart technology that allows control of the units from anywhere—the advantages can last for generations.
One big adversary this year is impulse buying.
However, even if impulse pushed you to buy into Ortigas Land’s Empress, the trusted developer’s expertise spanning over nine decades assures you that your investment is a calculated risk, a smart move this Year of the Tiger.
