Vertical communities are emergent and continue to reshape the urban landscape with designs slewing from traditional to innovative as a response to the shifting cultural trend of the times. Megaworld Corporation, today’s leading player in residential and business process outsourcing (BPO) office condominiums and led by visionary chairman and president Andrew Tan, saw this movement and took the bold step to partner with design geniuses to create an avant garde community called One Central right in the heart of Makati financial district.
One Central rises at the last remaining prime location in Makati’s premier financial district to become an iconic figure of modern design fitted to the elite circle of trendsetters, discriminating entrepreneurs who enjoy ultimate high-style living. This architectural marvel fuses excellent design and well-planned engineering that demonstrate Megaworld’s defying move to provide paramount luxury and comfort to its residents, responsive to the current change in lifestyle, fashion and cultural trend.
It was planned and executed by international architectural firm Preben Kent and world renowned structural consultant Ove Arup + Partners, the structural engineering genius behind the impressive 2008 Beijing Olympic stadiums “The Bird’s Nest” and “The Water Cube.”
“One Central is a P5.5-billion high-rise residential enclave, and to this point, Megaworld’s most ambitious residential undertaking. Its avant garde design and premium offerings rapidly attracted an elite audience, and we are proud to have sold more than 90% of its units in just a few months,” Megaworld VP for marketing and project head Clifford Legaspi proudly declared.
Modern appeal
One Central, located on the block bounded by Sen. Gil Puyat and HV Dela Costa and Geronimo streets in Salcedo Village, breaks the visual monotony of modern skyscrapers taking over the Makati skyline with its well-tucked man-made mini rainforest and well-manicured greens.
Its striking geometrical shape, a marriage of two towers wholly shaped like a boomerang, is covered entirely with glass. The eastern tower rises 42 stories high while the western tower reveals 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.
