Grand Cenia Hotel and Residences is a 25-storey hotel and residential tower that will rise along Archbishop Reyes, corner Solon Street, Banilad, Cebu City. It will be situated on a 4,211-sqm property strategically located within the Cebu Central Business District. It is conceptualized in response to the flourishing hotel industry in Cebu. From year 2006 performance alone, all the major hotels (three star class and up) in Cebu experienced a very high, year-round occupancy rate. Conventions, both national and international, are being held in Cebu regularly. Together with the increasing tourism patronage from locals, OFWs, and foreigners, there will be a big shortage of supply for the hotel industry in Cebu as it plays catch up to address the growing demand for hotel rooms in the next 3 to 5 years.

True to the essence of its name, Grand Cenia seeks to attract people who have gone places and are going places. The condotel product mostly hopes to attract the market segment that have needs for temporary living spaces whenever they visit Cebu, whether for business or pleasure, and an investment tool that earns for them when not in use. The residential condominium products mostly hopes to attract the end-user market segment who may have longer term living space requirements, whether they have chosen to make Cebu their home or they need to set up base in the economic and academic hub that is Cebu. Whether for investment or retirement living, Grand Cenia is the best choice.

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 50%-50% or 20%-80% 2-stage installment payment term and 20%-30%-50%, 10%-30%-60%(for condotel unit only) or 10%-20%-70%(for residential condo unit only) 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 50%-50% installment, a finance charge will be applied on the contract price. 50% of the contract price payable for the next 36 months after reservation and the remaining 50% of the contract price payable upon unit turnover.
For the 20%-80% installment, a finance charge will be applied on the contract price. 20% of the contract price is payable for the next 36 months after reservation, remaining 80% of the contract price payable upon unit turnover.
For the 20%-30%-50% installment, a 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.
For the 10%-30%-60% (for condotel unit only) installment, a finance charge will be applied on the contract price. 10% of the contract price is due 30 days after reservation, 30% payable for the next 36 months after and the remaining 60% of the contract price payable upon unit turnover.
For the 10%-20%-70% (for residential condo unit only) installment, a finance charge will be applied on the contract price. 10% of the contract price is due 30 days after reservation, 20% payable for the next 36 months after and the remaining 70% of the contract price payable upon unit turnover.

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.

3.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.
