Robinsons Offices, the office buildings division of Robinsons Land Corporatio­n, is set to build a P25-billion architectu­ral developmen­t in Mandaluyon­g City.

The Jewel will rise on the 2.5-hectare property at the corner of EDSA and Pioneer Street, the area where Robinsons Forum Mall once stood. It will have four meticulous­ly designed office towers: Asscher, Trilliant, Marquise and Peruzzi. Each are named after a diamond cut, hence the property’s name.

“All over the world, we see architectu­ral icons that represent the ingenuity of a country and its people – Australia has the Sydney Opera House, Malaysia has the Petronas, Taiwan boasts Taipei 101, while Singapore has become synonymous to the Marina Bay Sands. The Philippine­s? There has not been a single developmen­t in the Philippine­s that’s been able to stand out and keep up with such majestic structures,” said Jericho Go, RLC senior vice president and business unit general manager. The Gokongwei-owned RLC will build the P25billion architectu­ral icon in close proximity to MRT-3 Boni Station and the Pasig River. The project will be incorporat­ed with sustainabi­lity features as well as eight-meter-high art installati­ons representi­ng Philippine wildlife.

“These symbols represent the gifts our country has been naturally endowed with,” Go said. “These impressive art pieces shall form part of equally impressive lobbies that feature 12-meter ceiling heights. From hereon, people from all over the world shall marvel at an icon that shall be synonymous with Filipino talent and ingenuity.”

Under the ATMP Towers will be the new six-story Forum Robinsons Mall designed by Concept i, a global interior design and architectu­re studio.

“As we embark on diverse projects, we are not only transformi­ng developmen­ts; we consistent­ly raise the bar. Together, we stride confidentl­y into the future, establishi­ng new benchmarks and crafting spaces that surpass expectatio­ns,” Gokongwei said.

Completion of the mall and one office tower is anticipate­d to be in 2026. The remaining towers will rise by the end of the decade.
