The San Sebastian Residences will have 243 residential units with an area of 40 square meters each, 58 parking slots, health center, police sub-station, four elevators for residential units, swimming pool, function room, fitness center, roof garden, three units rentable space, activity areas, and roof deck play area.

For her part, Manila City Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan shared the same sentiment with Domagoso.
“Kinikilala natin ang karapatan ng bawat nilalang na magkaroon ng ligtas, disente, at abot kayang tuluyan na matatawag nilang sariling pag-aari—dahil tinataguyod nito ang dignidad ng tao,” the official said.
(We recognize the right of each individual to have a safe, decent, and affordable home that they can claim as their own—because it upholds a person’s dignity.)
The 20-story San Sebastian Residences is Manila City’s sixth housing project after Tondominium 1 and 2, Binondominium, BaseCommunity, San Lazaro Residences, and the Pedro Gil Residences.
