Daiichi Properties clinches awards for BGC portfolio

MANILA, Philippines — Daiichi Properties sets a new benchmark for sustainable office developments in the Philippines after three of its Bonifacio Global City properties earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Operations and Maintenance (O+M) certifications, including the country’s first-ever LEED O+M Platinum recognition for an office building.

This milestone marks a defining moment for the Philippine office sector, highlighting a growing shift toward operational sustainability and globally aligned building performance standards.

Leading this achievement is The Finance Centre on 26th Street, which was awarded LEED O+M Platinum, becoming the first office building in the Philippines and only the second in Southeast Asia to attain the highest certification level under the rating system.

Alongside The Finance Centre, World Plaza on 5th Avenue also achieved LEED O+M Platinum, making it the second office building in the Philippines to reach this distinction. Meanwhile, One World Place on 32nd Street earned LEED O+M Gold, upgrading from its previous LEED Core and Shell Silver certification through continued improvements in operational performance and building management.

Developed by the US Green Building Council, LEED is one of the world’s most widely recognized frameworks for sustainable buildings.

For Daiichi Properties, the achievement reflects the evolving role of office buildings today, where sustainability is experienced daily by tenants through healthier, more efficient and better-managed workplaces.

“This milestone is especially meaningful for us because it reflects the care and intention we put into our buildings every single day, not only in how they are designed, but in how people experience them,” said Charmaine Uy, president and COO of Daiichi Properties.
