ALPHALAND Tower on Ayala Avenue

It may seem that all the new property developments are happening in Bonifacio Global City. But let’s not forget that as of now, just like Wall Street in New York City, Ayala Avenue is still the prime address for top businesses.

The newest premium-grade office building on the street is Alphaland Tower, with a very memorable address, 6789 Ayala Avenue. The new Tower just opened its doors to the public last week. Right in the heart of the central business district, this building is now the only precertified, Grade-A tower of its kind on our main street.

Designed by internationally renowned, Hong Kong-based architects Wong & Ouyang, Alphaland Tower is an expression of Alphaland Corp.’s forward-thinking design sensibilities and a testament to its unique vision. The glass-cladded building is divided into three zones—a low zone starting from the fifth to 18th floor, a high zone continuing from the 19th to 31st floor and a three-story penthouse comprising the 32nd to 34th floors.

Alphaland Tower is a bold step in the future of building design. Its environment-friendly solutions aim to cut down on utility costs while increasing employee productivity. This is achieved through energy–efficient systems such as lo-flow bathroom fixtures, which help decrease water consumption, and double-pane, glass exteriors which reduce the amount of solar heat gain, thereby cooling the building to a comfortable temperature level. Because of these features, Alphaland Tower earned a precertified Gold rating from the United States Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system.
