Knightsbridge Residences can be described in three words:

smart. sexy. available.

Situated in Makati, the heart and cultural, financial and
social center of Manila, Knightsbridge Residences will be
smack bang in the middle of the country’s most
luxurious and expensive real estate.
Knightsbridge Residences will be the second residential
tower to rise at Century City in Kalayaan Avenue,
within the heart of the Philippines’ Central Business District.







Century City living offers not only constant evolution,
but also luxury living, shopping, dining, office spaces and more.
It is a city within a city and so sophisticated it will
impress even you, guaranteed.
Each unit at the Knightsbridge Residences is called a pod.
Investors can choose between several podular constructions
to suit their own lifestyle needs. Pods are made to offer
solutions for everybody.
Pod modules can be:
My pod: equivalent to 1 studio, 27 SQ.M – from US$65,000
Duopod: equivalent to 1 living room + 1 bedroom, 54 SQ.M –
from $83,000
Treopod: equivalent to 1 living room + 2 bedrooms, 81 SQ.M
from $143,000
Quatropod: equivalent to 1 living room + 3 bedrooms, 108 SQ.M –
from $226,000
The pods will be painstakingly configured to maximize space,
while inviting a sophisticated design concept with a hip flair.
The views – sexy

















The breathtaking panorama over the skyline of Manila will
dazzle residents both by day and night.
Every unit will have outstanding views
Also, a first of its kind observation deck will provide
users with attractive 360 degree views.
You will feel like being on top of the world.
In some ways you will be, since Manila will be
at your feet from this vintage point.
Another sexy part of the Knightsbridge Residences
are the lanterns. The lantern concept is comprised
of six stories of units with dramatic floor to
ceiling windows. These windows create a magical
display of sparkling glass and light,
hence the name lantern.
Knightsbridge’s 5 interior design options – available
To make a statement you can actually choose
which of the sophisticated pods will be yours to own.
Property developers Century Properties Group
will deliver each podular living space fully fitted and
fully furnished, using a highly motivated and skilled
team of designers.
Making a choice won’t be easy since each of these
five designs practically beg us to move in.

British Modern – An interplay of old-world Europe and
British contemporary flair.
Culture – A playful contrast of asymmetrical accents
and contemporary finish.
Minimal – Sleek design with sudden pops of bold
bright red and gold.
Oriental – Pristine sophisticated lines interspersed
with dark minimalist undertones.
Classic – Timeless design in warm browns and
cozy neutral shades.

Luxury and stylish amenities



















Knightsbridge Residences amenities will pale
5 star hotels in comparison. Residents can enjoy a
fully stocked public library with WiFi Internet access,
a business center, around the clock concierge service,
designer lobby, white gloved doormen, infinity pool,
outdoor jacuzzi, waterfalls, recreation room,
a playroom for kiddies, a gym with on site personal
trainer and classes, and expansive dining room
to entertain at large, a fully serviced spa and
not to mention the previously mentioned observation deck.
We are very much impressed by the amount of detail
and thoughts that have gone into the design of
the Knightsbridge Residences.

The Knightbridge Residences

The Inspiration








THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE RESIDENCES AT CENTURY CITY TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE MOST EXPENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD IN LONDON.

Home to many of the globe's richest people, Knightsbridge commands the highest property prices in the world and is the location of 14 top most expensive streets in Britain.

Situated in the heart of London, with houses, apartment buildings and some with rare private gardens, it is also adjacent to Inner London's largest public park, Hyde Park.



In February 2007, Knightsbridge became famous for being the location of the world's most expensive apartment when a Qatari prince bought a home there for £100,000,000.

  • SHOPPING MECCA

    Knightsbridge is also home to the flagship stores of many British and international fashion houses, like renowned London-based designers Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Cartier and Gucci. It is the headquarters of banks servicing high net-worth individuals, including Coutts-bankers to the Queen, rumoured to reject any potential clients worth less than £5 million.





    Some of London's most renowned restaurants are here, as are many exclusive hair and beauty salons, antiques and antiquities dealers, and a clutch of chic bars and clubs.

    The Knightsbridge is also home to the world-famous Harrods department store owned by Egyptian businessman Mohammed Al Fayed-the shopping fantasyland where you can buy everything from high fashion to 300 varieties of cheese, and serves as a corner shop to many of the world's billionaires and celebrities.

  • PROMINENT RESIDENTS




    Knightsbridge's notable residents include many British and European socialites and aristocrats: Roman Abramovich, the Russian tycoon who owns the Chelsea Football Club; oligarchs from Russia, China and India; international businessman Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge, Saudi and several other Middle Eastern Royal Dynasties; investment bankers and hedge fund managers.

    There are also trendsetters like Charles Saatchi and his television presenter wife, Nigella Lawson, famed fashion designers Valentino and Tom Ford, film stars such as Laetitia Casta, Hugh Grant, Sean Connery, and Joan Collins.

    Princes Diana, actress Sienna Miller and Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, all grew up at Knightsbridge.


  • WHAT MAKES LONDON'S KNIGHTSBRIDGE SO VALUABLE?





    "It is the address of desire for the world's crème de la crème."

    Knightsbridge is just a short stroll from Hyde Park, the boating attraction on the Serpentine Lake, and from luxury stores like Harvey Nichols at the corner of Harvey and Sloane Street. The neighborhood also is not far from the theaters in the West End.

    "And what's slightly hidden in Knightsbridge is the strong diplomatic presence in the area, which means you have a great deal of visible and invisible security. You can walk around at midnight or at 1AM and feel completely safe."

    "Knightsbridge also has the feel of a village in that it's a very residential area but with some of the world's best clubs, shops and restaurants within walking distance.


The Location








(click map to view larger image)

The Knightsbridge Residences will be the second residential tower to rise at Century City in Kalayaan Avenue, within the heart of the Philippines' Central Business District.

Long renowned as the epicenter of Philippine social, cultural and financial activity, Makati is constantly evolving and reinvigorating itself, transforming into a true megalopolis that is poised to compete with other urban centers all over the world.

AT THE CENTER OF ALL THIS ENERGY LIES CENTURY CITY.

Century City's location puts it in the middle of the most prime and expensive real estate in the country. A sprawling mixed-use development that incorporates live, work and play, it is a revolutionary "city within a city."






A pod is a seed. The encasement of a flowering plant. It is a symbol of a new beginning. One full of promise, and full of possibility.




Each unit at The Knightsbridge Residences is called a POD.

Painstakingly configured to maximize space, echo the hip yet highly practical British lifestyle, and embody the sophisticated Modern Makati flair, the POD addresses the urban dweller's need for the STYLISH and SMART LIVING SPACE.







At The Knightsbridge Residences, each and every unit is podular in construction so that you can combine units to create more and more space for your needs.


1 pod unit my pod Equivalent to 1 studio
2 pod units duopod Equivalent to 1 living room + 1 bedroom
3 pod units treopod Equivalent to 1 living room + 2 bedrooms
4 pod units quatropod Equivalent to 1 living room + 3 bedrooms

LANTERNS. As another innovation in building design, Century Properties introduces the Lantern concept – six levels of units with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that create iconic, sparkling glass boxes.

A truly distinguishing feature, the Lanterns transform The Knightsbridge Residences into a shimmering beacon in the city, especially at night.





At The Knightsbridge Residences, you are given access to large designer convergence areas that effectively multiply the dimensions of your home. With hyper-sized common areas that serve as "extensions" of your pod, the building is transformed into a true Vertical Village that nurtures community and interconnectivity among residents.

Because your home is beyond just your four walls.
