The hidden value of time: Inside the quiet enclave of M Residences Katipunan
The Philippine Star
|June 06, 2025
Property Report recently attended Metrovia, the launch event of M Residences Katipunan, the latest residential enclave by Victor Consunji Development Corporation (VCDC). What we found was more than just a new development—it was a rare opportunity to own a landed home in a location that feels like a retreat but functions like the city.
Tucked away at the quiet edge of Katipunan Extension and Marikina, M Residences Katipunan offers a compelling mix of space, security, and skyline views. It's designed for those who want the peace of suburban living while staying connected to the pulse of Metro Manila.
"As VCDC, what our job really is, is to build homes," said Victor Consunji, Founder and CEO of VCDC, in a conversation with Property Report. "We pick our locations and design our homes for the single purpose of giving a person the luxury of time. Time to live your life, time to grow, time to explore. The single commodity that cannot be created, and cannot be taken back is time. So if our products make someone's quality of life a little bit better, then I'm happy."
