Eton to build 1st residential bldg

MANILA, Philippines - Eton Properties Philippines Inc. is putting up One Centris Place, its first residential building within the 12-hectare mixed-use Eton Centris complex in Quezon City.

In a briefing yesterday, Eton president Danilo Ignacio said the project will be a twin-tower building that will house 1,211 residential units with sizes ranging from 23 to 45 square meters each.

The 26-story Tower 1 will make available a total of 597 units when completed in December 2015. Construction will start in January 2013.

On the other hand, the 30-story Tower 2, will offer 714 units.

The one-two bedroom units will be sold at P2.1 million to P4.2 million each.

 “We’ve begun pre-selling the project. And so far the take-up has been quite good, more than what we expected,” Ignacio said.

A walkway will connect the residential building to Centris Station, a two-level transit-oriented commercial center directly linked to the MRT Quezon Ave. station.

Located at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Ave., Eton Centris is being masterplanned to be a self-contained, fully integrated community. It is touted to be the next major central business district in Metro Manila.

Since starting operations four years ago, Eton has launched a total of 43 projects. Just recently, the company was recognized as one of the top 10 developers in the Philippines by BCI Asia Inc.
