A holistic life from the Empress

Good home hunters probe prospective addresses for the facilities they offer. The better ones also examine the community where their future dwelling sits.

Certainly, the wise homeowner would take a “whole of life” approach to selecting a home. This means looking beyond what the unit itself offers in terms of amenities and basic services. Also worth thinking over is whether it is accessible to and from the other parts of your life—or, better yet, if you should bear the daily commute in the first place.

As soon as it rises, Ortigas & Co.’s Empress will be a top address. Poised to be the country’s first wellness lifestyle real estate, Empress will be a 56-storey residential tower promoting the balance and holistic health of its dwellers.

Wherever the inhabitant goes, they will have full control of their unit. This is because Empress will feature smart technology. Residents will get a mobile phone app to easily control the smoke detector, smart TVs, and kitchen appliances. It has sensors for lights and doors, among others.

Buying a unit in Empress would also be buying into the “whole of life” experience within the cosmopolitan township that is Capitol Commons.

Units also come with a lavatory complete with vanity cabinets, integrated microwave oven cabinet, a WiFi router cabinet, shower bench, cabinets, USB ports in all the bedrooms, as well as an intercom with videophone.

A nod to the worldwide green revolution, the property will integrate fauna and intentionally reduce its carbon footprint and wastage, among others. The whole establishment will likewise integrate feng shui and color therapy.

But the selling point does not only rely on the building per se, but the whole lifestyle that the Empress can offer. This magnificent tower will rise within Capitol Commons, a 10-hectare estate in Pasig City replete with economic, cultural, recreational and even residential activity. Thus, buying into Empress would also be buying into the “whole of life” experience within this cosmopolitan township.

Amenities and facilities, strategically located throughout the development, are expected to help residents achieve a well balanced lifestyle.

Capitol Commons, an estate being developed by Ortigas & Co., is a renowned epitome of luxury, urban livability and, indeed, the vision of the archetypal city of the future.

In the same vein as the group’s other mixed-use estates, Capitol Commons has been an endless effort to perfect the coexistence of life, work and leisure in one place.

With its offerings, it has been a popular destination for young people. Located along Meralco Avenue corner Shaw Boulevard (in the heart of the metropolis), it’s highly accessible. You may have heard it from friends who’ve gone there for their gastronomic fix or who’ve relocated there for work. It’s also been a must-visit for shoppers, given its roster of international and premium brands. Even in the wee hours, fitness buffs have no qualms visiting the area to jog or bike.

Its becoming a mecca also owes to Capitol Commons’ dynamism. New establishments for leisure, residence and work open every so often. All these translate into a palpable excitement for big prospects and fresh stories. Amid its constant effort to be modern and progressive, it still maintains high value for the environment, sustainability and resilience.

All that and more beckons for individuals who will choose elite living at Empress.

The varied experiences visitors come for become within reach for future residents of the property. The choice to reside at Empress is no less a choice for life, work and leisure seamlessly melding into one premium lifestyle. It is the obvious choice for the better home hunters.
