Enhancing prestigious Makati
Ayala Avenue in Makati City is an address synonymous with prestige for local and international corporations. Alphaland Makati Place is a development that redefines the area of this prestigious avenue that was once dominated by warehouses and factories.
Economic growth is driving the central business district to expand, and the premium one-hectare property offers superior placement along Ayala Avenue in a rejuvenated quadrant of Makati. This strategic location is perfect for dynamic executives, young families, and upwardly mobile singles.
Designed by Wong & Ouyang (HK) Ltd., Alphaland Makati Place consists of three towers atop a six-storey podium. The lower three floors of the podium are home to an upscale shopping center and the upper three floors house The City Club, a haven for urban sports and leisure.
The result is an integrated urban lifestyle solution, with residential, sports and leisure, and retail amenities all in one com- plex, conveniently located in Makati’s central business district.
Intelligent development
The complex was designed from the ground up as an intelligent development with stateof-the-art building management and security systems, as well as energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and sanitary systems. Alphaland Makati Place consumes far less water and energy than similar developments, minimizing carbon emissions and unnecessary costs, while achieving a high level of comfort.
The project is registered under the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) rating system, which administers the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
Makati Place is aiming for a Gold level of certification.
Integral component
Alphaland Makati Place is one of the highest residential buildings along Ayala Avenue with 55 floors. The Makati Place is comprised of three residential towers, a city club and a mall.
The City Club is an integral component of this complex. All residential unit owners are automatically members of the City Club, and non-residents may also purchase memberships. The City Club occupies the top three floors of the six-storey podium, with an area of 30,000 sqm.
The overall quality of the interiors and finishes meet or exceed that of a five-star hotel, providing an elegant but understated background to the many activities available, and making it an attractive place to spend time with friends and family.
The club’s amenities include three lap pools, main swimming pool, seven Jacuzzis, two KTV rooms, game rooms and high definition virtual golf room. A Pro shop is located next to the basketball court and the multipurpose arena. Spacious locker rooms are also provided.
Its very active general manager Nic Belasco added new features like Band Nights during most weeknights and some sports attractions like yoga classes, ballet lessons and triathlon training.
Dining offering
The newest dining offering of City Club is its newly opened Mykonos Restaurant that serves the same Greek menu of its first branch in Balesin Island.
The Thanassis Taverna is one of the most popular restaurants on the island. The by-invitation only dinner event hosted by Alphaland chairman Roberto Ongpin had some of the most powerful and influential personalities in the country.
