aspect, it can be said that this study is feasible based on the return of the investment (ROI).
I. INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is fast becoming one of Asia’s favorite real estate investment hotspots.
With the number of condominium developments being planned and built in the country, the
average gross rental yield of Philippine real estate is among the highest in the Asian region. This
may be attributed to a couple of factors – the BPO industry, which is steadily attracting expatriates
and top Philippine talent alike, and to some extent, the influx of retirees, both local and foreign.
With this new breed of tenants, it’s quite tempting to take advantage of the investment opportunity
Nowadays, the need of condominium units has been highly in demand, especially to those
who are working in the city who originally lives a far from their respective jobs. However, not all
are able to invest to such luxuriant investment. It cannot be denied that condominium units are a
bit costly that workers who earn at a minimum wage a day is certainly not able to pay for the cost
of housing. Consequently, this feasibility study was made with the aim of providing a stable

National Community. The study brings awareness to the national community on the good
points to consider in living in a condominium type of home with reference to the growing demand
but limited space for residential areas in the cities of Metro Manila. The national community may
also benefit from the study as the issue being addressed affects the community socially and
economically.
The aim of this study is to determine whether it is feasible or not to build a six-story
condominium at Reposo St., Sta. Mesa, Manila which is expected to be complete and functional
by 2018. The proposed number of condominium units per floor is 22 composing of 18 two-
bedroom units and 4 three-bedroom units. While the building’s ground floor is intended for the
location of the lobby, administration office and multi-purpose halls, as well as staff quarters and
some other business offices, the next floors, 2nd to 6th floor, will be used for the condominium
units. This study may only be applicable for a certain span of time depending on the growth of the
economy of the country for it will affect the current status of the whole of the Philippines and
especially the rise and fall of demands on the capital city Manila.
Numbers used in this study were based on the present prices and rates of similar or related
commodities that are available in the market and they are collected during the 4th week of the
month of August 2016. Some of these are the fixed costs like price of land acquisition which is
64.6 million pesos and cost of application and processing of construction permits with an average
amount of 84,763 pesos. The team also considered a 12% interest rate on loans since it is assumed
that there will be a need of borrowing money during construction of the building that results from
The data presented in this study are mostly from online postings and advertisements to
enable the team to go along with the latest trend of other similar business structures and to make
the calculations close to reality. The figures utilized are generally the average of various items
belonging to the same category to avoid significant errors in the estimation of prices. By doing so,
our finding will be considerably accurate, and we could arrive to appropriate conclusions. Actual
prices may be subjected to change due to inflation or deflations as well as to further negotiations
to be made.
Under Presidential Decree No. 1151, also known as the “Philippines Environmental Policy”, it is
stated that every corporation and firms in the Philippines is required to have an environmental impact
system by the Environmental Impact Statement System. According to Section 4 of the said policy, it
requires “all agencies and instrumentalities of the national government, including government-owned and
controlled corporations, as well as private corporations, firms and entities to prepare an environmental
impact system (EIS) for every action, project or undertaking which significantly affects the quality of the
environment.”
The data gathered on the 4th week of August 2016 were from the current amount and rates of similar

C. Floor Plan
Utilities
The utilities of the building include a ventilation system, a generator that are common in
medium to high rise buildings such as condominiums. Utilities are being maintained and check
yearly.
Since it is in Sta. Mesa, the topography of the area is relatively flat as some of the areas in
sta. mesa are urbanized and the land level is evened out. There is a drainage system in Sta. Mesa
along Magsaysay Boulevard but lacks inner drainage systems in more places such as Reposo St.
Street Design
Streets are relatively narrow compared to some streets in manila but has space enough for
double lanes and opposite lanes. The street has been layed out with asphalt and expansion on the
streets with rolled concrete have been applied, but drainage systems must be improved.
Current Zoning
Sta. Mesa is a district within Manila, Philippines. At its South western side, it is being
surrounded by the Pasig River, and at its Southern and Eastern side it is being surrounded by the
San Juan River. It is made up of 51 barangays, in which Brgy. 590 and 595 is one of them. Its
13

geography covers the eastern section of Manila, bounded to the west by Lacson Avenue, separating
it from San Miguel, and by Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard to the north bordering it from Sampaloc.
The proposal made for the building was a 6-story building with 22 units per floor which
will aim to provide housing for people with minimum wage by providing a stable housing plan at
a minimum cost.
Flooding Issues
Due to poor drainage systems, the area is very prone to frequent flooding during the rainy
season. Drainage systems also need to be improved due to the smell they cause.
constructed as a residential building, posing no danger and hazardous effects to nearby structures.
Planning, legal compliance and construction are all conducted simultaneously, with
planning and permits being done ahead of construction start times. Planning and construction
process involves qualified professionals to make sure that each modification and enhancement
measures required will be monitored accordingly and be properly maintained. The Building is
designed in accordance with the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) considering
all the elements required for the condominium. The purpose of this code is to provide for all
regulating, and controlling their location, siting, design, quality of materials, construction, use,
occupancy, and maintenance, including their environment, utilities, fixtures, equipment, and
mechanical electrical, and other systems and installations. According to Engr. Carlos Villaraza, a
building compliant with the code “can resist up to a magnitude 8.4 earthquake, which is the highest
possible earthquake that will hit the Philippines.” Therefore, the building is safe no matter their
proximity from a fault line. The building materials and techniques were also checked by the
inspectors throughout the process such as reinforced concrete, steel, blocks, wood, glass etc. Steel
is mainly used in this project, so the professionals were very strict on applying it, they make sure
that the product has mill certificate to certify that the quality and size are accurate. With regards
to the establishment concerns, the building ensures to follow Republic Act No. 4726, an act to
define condominium, establish requirements for its creation and government of its incidents. The
building goes through several process to guarantee it can withstand different calamities such as

utilize other aspects such as land, water, energy and raw materials during utilization, maintenance
and demolition. With this, Condominiums directly and indirectly affect the natural environment
The factors that improve the environmental performance of condominiums are the following:
Time, Economic resources, good will of all involved parties and proper decision making
of the structure of the building enables the environmental aspects to be included in the
that can be used. Stretching from simple checklist to approaches that quantify the environmental
effects associated with condominiums considering their life cycle is a methodological approach.
Condominiums necessitate many different actors, with differences in their respective fields of
interest, and differences in occupational and educational backgrounds. All of them should consider
the environmental detail within their typical decision-making. For this reason, assessing
environmental aspects for condominiums requires large demand for tools with a large community
of potential users.

VIII. CONCLUSION
The primary goal of a corporation or company is to maximize the wealth of its stockholders.
Taking this into account, long-term investments that will be undertaken by a firm should be
evaluated based on their contribution to the wealth maximization goal. The capital budgeting
evaluation technique that clearly relates the capital investment to the wealth maximization goal is
the net present value (NPV) method. This is used to analyze an investment decision and give
company management a clear way to tell if the investment will add value to the company. It
essentially determines the present value of the gain or loss of an investment. Thus, NPV makes the
Considering the financial and economic aspect, it can be said that this study is feasible. The
calculated net present value is greater than the net investment which indicates that the projected
earnings generated by the said project or investment exceed the anticipated costs. Generally, an
investment with a positive NPV will be a profitable one and one with a negative NPV will result
in a net loss.
Furthermore, a business needs to ensure that it will get a good return on investments. It is
also inter-related to the payback period which is the number of years it takes to settle the initial
investment of a capital project from the cash flows that the project produces. Based on the
calculation, the net investment will be back within 2 years. Thus, this feasibility study shows that
the project has a short payback period which corresponds to less investment risk.
Summing it up, this study is economically feasible and viable in the market considering
the economic indicators that were interpreted and analyzed to help assess the investors in the
decision-making process.
