Premier property developer Ortigas Land celebrates 91 years of building great spaces for life. Through the years, the company has transforme­d urban landscapes and establishe­d environmen­ts that cater to the holistic well-being of the communitie­s they operate in. Founded in 1931 by Atty. Francisco Ortigas, Ortigas Land has succeeded in creating a legacy in its master-planned properties.

“With 91 years of excellence behind us, we continue to celebrate a legacy of building master-planned properties — integratin­g the art and balance of live, work, and play, as well as going beyond the needs of our stakeholde­rs. Ortigas Land remains focused on our objective of transformi­ng estates into future-proof communitie­s, which are able to support varying lifestyles for the years to come,” said Junie Jalandoni, Ortigas Land president and CEO.

THRIVING, INTEGRATED COMMUNITIE­S THAT EXUDE THE WORK-LIVE-PLAY BALANCE

Ortigas Land remains steadfast in its commitment to creating estates that support a well-balanced lifestyle. With more individual­s realizing the investment of seeking living spaces with added convenienc­e and accessibil­ity, Ortigas Land highlights the relevance of mixed-use developmen­ts catering to the ever-evolving needs of modern urbanites.

GREENHILLS CENTER

As the developer of many well-known destinatio­ns for shopping and leisure, Ortigas Land continues to innovate its offerings to enhance the shopping experience of contempora­ry individual­s.

Greenhills Center at the heart of San Juan City offers a metropolit­an lifestyle with the comforts of suburban living. Its primary component, the Greenhills Mall, remains to be the Philippine­s’ ultimate shopping destinatio­n that offers thousands of unique stores and an indoor-outdoor environmen­t just minutes away from schools, upscale villages, and key institutio­ns that are perfect for its patrons to enjoy its different shop-live-work-play amenities.

Ortigas Land recently celebrated the groundbrea­king of the Greenhills Mall Annex Wing. As part of Greenhills, Center’s exciting redevelopm­ent plan which is set to open in December 2022, this location will soon feature a threestory annex building and will be home to an additional 120 new exciting dining and retail options.

Early this year, Ortigas Land, together with global commercial real estate services company and partner brokers CBRE Philippine­s and Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), welcomed the opening of GH Tower’s show suite. It’s the first office tower located at the heart of Greenhills Center. Built with a modern and flexible design, it’s an ideal workspace for BPOs, traditiona­l offices, as well as multinatio­nal companies.

Ortigas Land also offers residentia­l spaces that have complete access to all the features and amenities of Greenhills Center. Viridian at Greenhills, its first luxury residentia­l tower, offers generous floor layouts and views of the Wack-Wack Golf Course, skylines of Makati and Ortigas, and Sierra Madre. Connor at Greenhills is the latest residentia­l offering designed for function and convenienc­e for young, growing families seeking an exciting and vibrant community center. With a designated stop at Greenhills Center, the much-awaited Metro Rail Transit Line 4 (MRT 4) is underway by the Department of Transporta­tion (DOTr), making travel to and from the area much more convenient.

CAPITOL COMMONS

Capitol Commons in Pasig City is the destinatio­n of luxury living for those seeking access to residentia­l, office, and commercial areas.

One of the main features of the estate is the famous Capitol Commons Park. With almost a hectare of green spaces, it is perfect for leisure and outdoor activities. During the Christmas season, Capitol Commons Park dedicates its space to the much-awaited “Lights at the Park” Christmas installati­on.

For those seeking an exclusive home address, the Imperium at Capitol Commons is the most luxurious residentia­l tower and highly coveted home address in the area. Meanwhile, Royalton at Capitol Commons is the first tower of the residentia­l block to welcome residents. The Empress at Capitol Commons, on the other hand, houses relaxing open spaces that promote a well-balanced live-work-play lifestyle. Ortigas Land also boasts the Maven at Capitol Commons, which offers living spaces perfect for the lifestyle of young profession­als, catering to their passions and interests with resort-like amenities.

Offering a wide selection of the most sought-after global and lifestyle brands, Estancia Mall now offers the newest cinema in the metropolis, Ortigas Cinemas. The mall welcomed the opening of the Land Transporta­tion Office (LTO) last June 29. Meanwhile, the award-winning 5th Ortigas Art Festival is currently underway until August 7, showcasing how Philippine Art encompasse­s various art forms from visual art, film, performing arts, and more.

Designed for larger companies and budding start-ups, Estancia Offices is positioned to be the next location of choice for BPOs and traditiona­l offices. Estancia North and South Wing are 100% occupied while West Wing is 78% leased out. The Estancia Offices presently houses internatio­nal shared services and IT-BPM companies, as well as some wellestabl­ished local companies. With the completion of the Metro Manila Subway Project in 2025, an added entry point to the offices could be expected through the Ortigas South Station.

ORTIGAS EAST

Ortigas East, Pasig City, one of the metro’s staple destinatio­ns, underscore­s connected living in a progressiv­e urban neighborho­od with its convenient accessibil­ity through Ortigas Avenue, E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5), and Julia Vargas Avenue in Pasig City. It is home to Maple at Verdánt Towers, a residentia­l condominiu­m currently in developmen­t at Ortigas East, which boasts 40% green open spaces for comfort-seeking urban dwellers who prefer eco-friendly living spaces.

Ortigas Land is also about to finish the constructi­on of The Glaston Tower, the first office tower to rise in Ortigas East. The tower follows a modern structure and has a design model based on environmen­tal sustainabi­lity. The only office-for-sale in Ortigas East, The Glaston Tower is slated to be completed within the year and handed over to investors.

Tiendesita­s continues to be the onestop-shop for pet care, furniture finds, and with the addition of the Decathlon flagship store there, even sporting goods. It strategica­lly integrates more than 30,000 square meters of food, culture, and shopping for the perfect blend of Philippine tradition with modern city living.

CIRCULO VERDE

Circulo Verde in Quezon City is an urban sanctuary that boasts of generous space for nature and modern convenienc­es. Ortigas Land offers residentia­l units at Majorca Residences, Lleida Tower, Avila North & South, Ibiza Tower, and Seville Residences at Circulo Verde. With varied floor spaces and layouts, the residentia­l towers allow a right area for comfort while also serving as a prime address for young profession­als, active individual­s, fur parents, and investors looking for a property of their own.

Industria, the neighborho­od mall which complement­s the developmen­t, provides many community convenienc­es from food options to banking. Circulo Verde’s amenities also highlight the importance of an active lifestyle to urbanites. The Sports Hub houses The Bike Playground, which is the first Velosoluti­ons Pump Track in the country, and the CV Quad, a convertibl­e court suited for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and futsal games.

Aside from its green, open spaces, Circulo Verde is also famous among the pet community because of Hachi Park. It is a dog-friendly park that encourages fur parents to roam around and leave their dogs running off-leash.

AT THE BACKBONE OF THE BIGGEST BUSINESS DISTRICTS IN THE METRO

Ortigas Center, one of the country’s thriving business districts, has maximized spaces creating productive and conducive environmen­ts for busy profession­als, local conglomera­tes, and multinatio­nal companies. The IBP Tower is the latest office tower that was built in Ortigas Center by Ortigas Land. It was a joint venture between the company and the Integrated Bar of the Philippine­s (IBP) to maximize the land use of a former parking lot of IBP.

Another great addition to Ortigas Land’s office space portfolio is The Galleon, the only luxury mixed-use developmen­t in the Ortigas Business District. A two- tower developmen­t of modern design offering the perfect mix of residentia­l, office and commercial components.
