Where student life finds its rhythm in Katipunan

When parents send their children off to college, their priorities are simple: safety and practicality. This is why many families choose condominium living — spaces that offer security, convenience and proximity to schools. 

In Katipunan, Avida’s latest development reflects how student housing continues to respond to these considerations.

The 33-storey vertical development is positioned as a student-oriented property, with its layout and amenities shaped around the needs of students and the families who will live there.

The development features 758 residential units on a 1,833-square-meter land area. Unit types include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts ranging from 21 to 68 square meters, accommodating solo residents, shared living arrangements and small households.

Shared spaces within the property allow students to take breaks, study, or stay active. An open area provides room for casual meet-ups with friends, while a study hall offers a quieter setting for academic work. 

For group activities, residents have access to a meeting room and a function hall that can be used for group discussions, preparation sessions, or school-related activities.

For downtime and wellness, residents can use the swimming pool or gym. One feature not commonly found in student-focused developments is located on the upper levels: the 34th-floor penthouse includes a family room and a small playground, making the space usable not only for students but also for visiting family members and younger children.

Parents may also find the wide front porch and lobby practical, particularly during move-ins or when students return from holidays. 

A designated service elevator with added durability is intended to make transporting luggage, furniture and supplies more manageable.

Rather than serving only as a short-term college residence, the condominium is designed for extended use — whether as a home throughout a student’s university years or as a property that can be used by family members in the future. 

As student housing in Katipunan continues to evolve, this development reflects how practicality and everyday living needs are shaping residential spaces near campus.
