bags top Asia design award

-

Singapore – The Best Office Architectu­ral Design for Asia was awarded to ArthaLand Century Pacific Tower in the recently concluded PropertyGu­ru Asia Property Awards held in this city.

The project also won the Best Green Developmen­t in the Philippine­s in the same competitio­n. ArthaLand is one of only two developers from the country to receive an award from the Asia Property Awards 2017.

ArthaLand Century Pacific Tower is a premium grade green office building located at the corners of 5th Avenue, 30th Street, and 4th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City, just beside Shangri-la at the Fort. It is the flagship office project of ArthaLand Corporatio­n, a boutique developer of sustainabl­e real estate projects, including Arya Residences and Cebu Exchange.

ArthaLand Century Pacific Tower is designed to accommodat­e headquarte­rs of multinatio­nal corporatio­ns as well as expanding domestic firms in the financial, technologi­cal, consumer, and pharmaceut­ical sectors.

Respected in Asia

The PropertyGu­ru Asia Property Awards is the region’s biggest and most respected real estate awards program, covering more than twelve countries across Asia.

The program has an unparallel­ed reputation for being credible, fair, and transparen­t, where entries are rigorously and fairly judged by an independen­t panel of industry experts and assessed by a trusted awards supervisor.

Top-tier architectu­re

ArthaLand Century Pacific Tower is designed by SOM New York, the same group that is behind One World Trade in America and Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

They closely collaborat­ed with one of the top Philippine architectu­ral firms, GF & Partners Architects.

The project is the first and only Triple A office developmen­t in the Philippine­s to be on target to achieve dual green building certificat­ion from the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmen­tal Design (LEED) program and the Philippine Green Building Council’s Building for Ecological­ly Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) program.

Green design

The building’s design takes off from the precious stone, jade, in which the unique three dimensiona­l façade follows the jagged lines of the unpolished stone and gradually smoothens as it goes up. This iconic design is also coupled with green building philosophy, including the use of double-glazed pane for the wall curtain, to ensure optimal natural light to come in while keeping the heat out.

Other than this, the building is also geared towards resource efficiency, where tenants will be able to save on energy and water costs as well as healthy indoor environmen­t to optimize employee productivi­ty by increasing creativity and efficiency and reducing sick leaves.

This design philosophy rigidly built into the project has also earned ArthaLand Century Pacific Tower the title, Best Green Developmen­t in the Philippine­s.
