The Grand Cenia
Condotel owners of the Grand Cenia stand to enjoy three major benefits a unit in a very prime location, a very good return on investment, and hassle-free, global standard hotel services.
The development is ideally located right across the Cebu Business Park, easily accessible to the business hub, the convention centers and commercial areas. Early return on investment is as good as guaranteed because of the booming tourism, and subsequently booming Cebu hotel industry. The hotel, made up of the pooled units, will be managed by an international hotel operator, who will also handle the distribution of the rental pool income to the condotel owners. The condotel unit owner can just sit back, relax and watch his investment bear fruit.

Condotel Floors

There will be 11 floors initially allocated as condotel floors, later to be used for hotel operations (from the 7th to the 18th floor). These floors will feature the studio type condotel units. The 7th floor will serve as the main amenity floor, where the swimming pool, kiddie pool, swimming pool deck, landscaped area and function rooms / hotel coffee shop are located. These facilities will be for the use of both the hotel guests and the residential condominium unit owners. There will also be condotel units on the 7th floor - condotel units with bigger saleable area as they are provided with open patios to better appreciate the pool deck and landscaped area.

There are special condotel units on the 7^thand 8^thfloors which will feature open patios to take advantage of their view of the city, the surrounding mountains and the swimming pool deck and landscaped area.

How to Buy

1.       Buying a Condotel Unit and its Difference from Buying a Condominium Unit

At the pre-selling stage, there is not much difference in the procedure for buying a residential condominium unit from a condotel unit. In buying a condominium or condotel unit, the buyer should first provide the Developer with a letter stating that he/she is offering to buy the said property. Afterwards, the buyer must then furnish the Developer with all the needed documents, including the Rental Pool Agreement and pay the reservation fee of Php50,000.00, the 20% of the TCP as down payment or 90% of the TCP depending on the financing plan that he chooses.

12 months before turnover, condotel unit buyers must also pay the Rental Pool Joining Fee amounting to Php280,000-300,000. The fee includes all the furnishing costs for the unit to make it hotel room standard and the Rental Pool membership fee. The rental pool membership fee would also advance 3 months’ operating expenses to jumpstart hotel operations, and also cover initial hotel capital expenditure.

However, the condotel unit buyer must be aware of the conditions for buying a condotel unit enumerated in the Rental Pool Agreement. Any prospective buyer must be willing to subject their units to the provisions outline in the Agreement.

2.       Payment Schemes

We offer the cash and deferred cash payment terms for both the condotel and condominium units. We also offer 20%-30%-50% 3-stage installment payment term for the condominium units. A Php50,000 reservation fee is required for both the condotel and the condominium purchase.

For cash payment, a 10% discount is offered, with 90% of the contract price payable in 30 days from reservation. The remaining 10% of the contract price will be payable upon turnover.

For the deferred cash payment, 100% of the contract price will be spread over 36 equal monthly payments.

For the 20%-30%-50% installment, a 6% finance charge will be applied on the contract price. 20% of the contract price is due 30 days after reservation, 30% payable for the next 36 months after and the remaining 50% of the contract price payable upon unit turnover.

3.       Parking Slots

For condominium units, one (1) parking slot is already allocated for each unit. The price for the parking slot is already included in the condominium unit’s TCP.

For condotel units, the parking spaces are retained as a condotel common area to cater to the hotel guests. Parking would definitely not be a problem since the hotel will provide valet services for the guests.

4.       Joining Fee Payment

The joining fee would have to be fully paid 12 months before turnover of the condotel unit to the owner. The condotel unit owner could opt to pay for the joining fee in cash or arrange an amortization scheme with the developer starting two years before turnover.
