DM Wenceslao to launch new office space as it builds the ‘next generation city’

Aseana City, the flagship project of D.M. Wenceslao & Associates Inc. (DMWAI), is fast rising as the “next generation city,” with a number of projects well underway, including its latest Grade A Office development, dubbed 8912 Asean Ave. Standing 15 storeys tall, 8912 is a mixed-use development on Asean Ave. with convenient access to retail options in the Ayala Malls Bay Area, to which it is connected through an elevated walkway. The latest mixed-use office tower has three programs: retail, parking,and office, with more than 68,900 square meters of leasable space. “Sufficient parking is provided on levels three and four while the ground level is given to retail shops. Drop-off points are strategically located to further enhance mobility,” said Buds C. Wenceslao, chief executive officer of DMWAI. Among the property’s key features are 100% backup power, Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air-conditioning, high allowances and redundancies of utilities per square meter, and space planning flexibility, which are expected to attract both traditional corporate office and BPO tenants. The development stretches 120 meters along Asean Ave., with its predominantly glass façade — characteristic of DMWAI’s office buildings, including the neighboring Aseana 3. Aseana City is master-planned to be a “next generation city” that focuses on two major facets. The first is being positioned as an Urban Recreation destination, which entails a balanced locator mix catering to all lifestyles. The second major element of Aseana City’s next generation master plan is creating a global community as Aseana builds developments which can compete with other first-world, large-scale developments. Apart from the usual commercial and residential uses in typical Metro Manila township developments, Aseana City is said to be unique in the sense that it is uniquely positioned between two major entertainment and tourism anchors in the region: the Mall of Asia Complex and the Entertainment City. “The past decade is the foundation of what we are now. But certainly, the market has changed in such that it now looks into modernization, accessibility and the comforts of living. Aseana City has been offering these since day one and through our continuous developments, we would like to highlight these features to the community,” Mr. Wenceslao said.
