Arthaland’s premium green o ce developmen­t in Taguig opens its doors

- By FRANZ LEWIN EMBUDO

With more companies gradually adopting a returnto-office set-up, Arthaland’s next generation premium sustainabl­e office building, Savya Financial Center, located in the highly connected ARCA South in Taguig City, is now ready for occupancy.

The building is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sustainabl­e solutions that “help create safe and more productive working environmen­ts,” thereby improving the profitabil­ity of companies.

“We invite everyone to make the move to Savya Financial Center. Companies, big and small, can find their perfect space in this multi-certified green office building as it offers a lot of flexibilit­y through adaptive office unit cut ups and attractive financing options,” said Arthaland’s Commercial Project Channel Director Anna Marco.

The Savya Financial Center is built in partnershi­p with Japan’s Mitsubishi Estate Company Ltd.

According to global real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), 51 percent of its client sites are already business as usual versus only five percent at the end of 2021. Gross leasing volumes are also up 46.2 percent year-on-year from 112,238 square meters in the second quarter of 2021 to 164,137 sqm in the second quarter of the year.

The research also showed that well-designed green buildings appreciate more in value and command higher rental rates.

With the health and wellness of employees becoming the top priority among employers, Marco said Arthaland’s new office building is “designed with the well-being and productivi­ty of businesses and individual­s at its heart.”

One such company which will make Savya Financial Center its new home is TelTrends – a wholly Filipinoow­ned, ISO-certified, leading IT hardware supplier and Systems Integrator of the country’s largest telcos and utility companies. They offer cuttingedg­e products and world-class service on a turnkey basis.

SUSTAINABL­E AND SMART

To underscore the importance of good indoor air quality, Savya Financial Center has operable windows and uses a MERV 13 air filtration system, which is the same type of system being used in hospital operating rooms. It is considered a smart building courtesy of its Building Management System (BMS) that controls and monitors various technical systems and services such as air conditioni­ng, lighting and ventilatio­n to ensure safety, comfort and efficiency.

In order to increase the level of protection from the threat of virus cross-infection among the building’s occupants, the building subscribes to contactles­s technologi­es such as the remote virtual concierge, touchless turnstiles, hands-free bathroom fixtures and RFIDoperat­ed elevators.

The building’s sustainabl­e features, such as energy efficient air-conditioni­ng system, double-glazed low-e glass, energy efficient lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures and rainwater harvesting and recycling system, provide water and energy savings by as much as 40 percent.

According to Arthaland, the developmen­t will also be 100 percent powered by renewable energy to decarboniz­e the building’s operationa­l energy.

THE BUILDING IS EQUIPPED WITH STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY AND SUSTAINABL­E SOLUTIONS THAT “HELP CREATE SAFE AND MORE PRODUCTIVE WORKING ENVIRONMEN­TS,” THEREBY IMPROVING THE PROFITABIL­ITY OF COMPANIES.

Savya Financial Center also has dedicated parking spaces for low emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles as well as bicycle racks and shower facilities. There is also a bridgeway garden on the fifth floor where occupants can take a leisurely walk among all the greenery.
