Right at the heart of Makati Central Business District in the bustling city that never sleeps, rises a massive and impressive address enclosed by a towering, man-made mini rainforest — a private luxury world that opens its doors to the notably affluent executives, elite circle of trendsetters, discriminating entrepreneurs who enjoy the comforts of ultimate high-style living.
Megaworld Corporation, today’s robust player in residential and business process outsourcing (BPO) condominium developments and by far the country’s largest in these segments, has embarked in providing a spectacular address of success called One Central at the last remaining prime location in the Makati CBD. This P5.5-billion high-rise residential enclave rises on the block bounded by Sen. Gil Puyat and HV dela Costa and Geronimo streets in Salcedo Village.
“One Central, Megaworld’s most ambitious residential undertaking to date, rises to become a spectacular centerpiece on a premier business district. This Triple A project has attracted an elite audience,” Megaworld VP for marketing and project head Clifford Legaspi disclosed.
Paradigm of success
This massive edifice is a collaboration of excellent design and well-planned engineering that demonstrates Megaworld’s bold move to provide ultimate comfort to its privileged residents. It was planned and executed by international architectural firm Preben Kent; and world renowned structural consultant Ove Arup + Partners, the genius behind the Beijing 2008 Olympics intricately and uniquely designed stadiums popularly dubbed “The Water Cube” and “The Bird’s Nest.”
One Central has a striking geometrical shape that opens to various perspectives of Makati’s attractive cityscape. The structure is a marriage of two wings, wholly shaped like a boomerang which will be covered entirely with glass. The eastern wing rises 42 stories high while the western wing towers at 50 stories, both reflecting the opulent, functional and modern style pronounced by the Art Deco movement, mimicking New York’s iconic Chrysler and Empire State buildings.
To complement One Central’s imposing five-star hotel look, it has tapped Gettys Chicago, a globally recognized interior design firm. Gettys Chicago has enclosed One Central’s main atrium with floor-to-ceiling glass and adorned the interiors with intricately designed chandelier that dramatically illuminates a display of Old English paintings, a stately reception that greets anyone who steps inside it.
Its lavish façade and opulent lobby imposed by the Art Deco design is toned by warm, earthly atmosphere as it dedicated 60 percent of its total area to sprawling well-manicured greens that are divided into four gardens: palm tree court, flower garden, meditation garden, and sculpture garden with a reflexology path.
