Not to change the subject but this is what the RP needs to do if they ever want to move ahead.

One of the criteria is not so much the size but the noise caused by living on top of each other

hi rick b – thanks for the tip. i also have some interest in a type of davao base you described. i was intrigued by the condos but not anymore after reading about the size & prices for them. no way.

i get the point you are making but with the condo layouts i looked at here in Davao the layouts yes were squeezed but they didn’t include a maids area, really they are so tiny, i don’t really see them as being viable except for a very few specific people, say like for a business paerson who lives out of town and just wants a base of his own, apart from this i don’t get them, mind you i believe they are selling out….so, what do i know…John, don’t answer that

i don’t know if this applies to the condos, but a lot of the new homes’ floor
plans are so squeezed not only because of the size measurements but also because of the addition of the maids/helpers room.

if that room were an option it would free up a lot of space for those who don’t want live-in house help. something to think about when purchasing a place.

I agree with rick b – all of the condos that I have seen under construction are quite tiny!

i checked out the plans for the condo units being built here in davao, loads of them right at the moment, people should be aware that the units are very small they have good facilities in the block itself but the actual property itself is very small, i looked at them but the size put me off, more like “hotel” living than real life, it may suit someone but not me here in davao
