Mindful Designs backed by 90 years of experience and expertise
Ortigas Land is one of the pioneers in the real estate industry. It is backed by 90 years of experience and expertise in building developments that has withstood the test of time while elevating the standards and experiences of the community.
In recent years, Ortigas Land has introduced to the market residential properties which already integrate smart home features that make a seamless and worry-free living among homeowners. Through a dedicated mobile application, future residents of properties such as Residences at The Galleon, The Empress at Capitol Commons, and future Ortigas Residences projects, will be able to have full control of their units’ facilities and utilities.
Aside from the smart home features, Ortigas Land continues to innovate by integrating Ortigas Land’s Mindful Designs. These home innovations are the answers to the market’s unspoken wants and needs. Each design responds well to a quality of life that is found only with an Ortigas Land unit. They show how progressive and updated Ortigas Land is with present-day residential living. These are some of the features of Ortigas Land’s Mindful Designs:
- Lavatory with vanity cabinets
- Integrated microwave oven cabinets
- Wi-Fi router cabinet
- Built-in shower bench
- Built-in cabinets with lights
- USB ports in all bedrooms
- Intercom with videophone
- Task lights in kitchen cabinets
Ortigas Land’s current estate developments are located near Ortigas Center, one of the oldest business districts in Metro Manila. Ortigas Center is home to a number of multinational companies and malls that have flourished in the area.
With Ortigas Center’s pipelined improvements such as geographical connectivity, community integration, accessibility through infrastructure, and attractive business costs, Ortigas Center is proving to be an ideal location.
On their partnership with PropertyAccess
Ortigas Land has been in partnership with PropertyAccess since 2018. Ortigas Land has taken part in a number of property conferences in Japan and has also joined in the Japan International Property Awards organized by PropertyAccess.
A number of their Capitol Commons and Ortigas East residential projects have become popular in the Japanese market because of PropertyAccess. Residential units in Empress at Capitol Commons, Maven at Capitol Commons, Imperium, and Maple at Verdant Towers also did well with PropertyAccess’ support.
Adapting to the new normal
Ortigas Land continues to prepare to launch projects and calibrate the timing and number of launches depending on market conditions. According to them, preparedness, flexibility and agility are key in the current environment that they are in.
While the challenges remain and while it will take some time to fully restore consumer and business confidence, the economy has a lot of room to grow coming from a low base and with its fundamentals largely intact. Demand is still there for residential, office, and retail developments and it is just a matter of time when the volume will go back up again to pre-pandemic levels.
For its projects, Ortigas Land has been working with both foreign and local consultants to redefine modern living. For example, Empress at Capitol Commons, the latest residential tower of Ortigas Land, aims to serve as an oasis amidst the chaos of urban living. Empress at Capitol Commons boasts of unique innovations and features such as chromotherapy - the science of promoting health through colors - by implementing a light and calming color palette in its interior spaces. It also has a biophilic design, which harnesses the power of fauna, and uses plants to create a relaxing environment. Even the hardscape is well-thought-of, with an acupressure walk in the quiet zone specially designed to stimulate acupressure points in the feet.
It has been an ideal project for those looking for a sanctuary in the middle of the metro and those who value comfort and convenience especially in today’s “new normal”.
Their message to potential investors
Despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic, now is the best time to invest in real estate in the Philippines. The country’s economy is primed for recovery, backed by its young population which translates into a robust market over the medium and long term, and the government’s current infrastructure developments. Historically, land values in Metro Manila have consistently appreciated and land values within the city still have a lot of room to grow, particularly in Ortigas Center and the areas around it. Investors should therefore take advantage of the current situation and invest in real estate properties now.
