Setting sail soon
Luckily, The Galleon in the Ortigas central business district is set to sail soon. The project by Ortigas Land, one of the most well established real estate giants in the Philippines, offers residential and office spaces in a CBD strategically located in the heart of Metro Manila—making it a strong headquarters of large corporations. It is likewise near other CBDs such as Makati, Pasig and Bonifacio Global City.
Due to its prime location, The Galleon offers the perfect residence for executives and end-users. And with its well-thought-out design, the only mixed-use project within the Ortigas CBD will surely meet the most meticulous demands of high-end city living.
The Galleon’s design concept is inspired by a cruise ship specially designed for today’s modern leaders. It is envisioned to be a “strong, multi-decked ship” housing both residential and office units.
The spire of the building symbolizes the mast of the ship while its crown represents the sails. As for the podium, it is likened to a hull, the bottom part of the ship and also its most significant structural entity. The hull is designed with wave-like patterns as if coursing through open waters.
The first two floors of The Galleon will house dining and retail shops, meant to stimulate a sense of community for residents and office workers within the area. Looking for a conducive place to conduct meaningful meetings would be easier for the businessmen.
The Galleon has two towers: one is called Offices at The Galleon while the other is the Residences at The Galleon.
The former is a 31-level office tower with its own 5-level basement parking. The offices were built for professional firms in mind such as law, engineering, architectural, multinational companies and other high-end businesses. About 418 office units shall be ready for occupancy while there are 43 available retail units. Each office space ranges from 75 sqm to 767 sqm. Given the colorful mix of different professions in the building, an empowering atmosphere will surely be felt by users and locators.
The Residences at The Galleon, on the other hand, offers 509 residential units with different ranges to choose from. There are inner units with sizes ranging from 75 to 111 sqm; scenic corner units that measure 113 to 195 sqm; and luxurious penthouse units whose cuts range from 498 to 526 sqm. The tower also houses 759 parking lots which provide personal transportation options.
Since the tower is specially targeted to today’s leaders, staying at The Galleon will not only have an executive feeling with other professionals in the neighborhood. It can also pave the way to better and strengthened business connections.
Moreover, both towers of The Galleon are Green Building Code Compliant which meant that the buildings are not only environmentally friendly, but efficient as well. This is also good news to the residents as this should entail lower living costs with reduced electricity and water bills in the long run. Living inside a green building has been proven as well to improve the health and well-being of residents with the eco-friendly lifestyle.
Due to its prime location and well-thought-out design, The Galleon offers the perfect residence and office space for executives and end-users.
Leisure options
Aside from being a strategic residential and office hub, The Galleon offers leisure options. It is just a few steps away from shopping malls such as SM Megamall, The Podium, Ayala the 30th and Capitol Commons.
Sports and recreation are likewise readily available since The Galleon is conveniently near the Philippine Sports Complex, the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club, Pasig City Museum, and the Pasig City Library. If you want to nurture your child to become a successful professional, you can start them young by enrolling them in nearby quality schools such as British School Manila and Poveda.
Though The Galleon is a project by Ortigas Land, it was born out of a collaborative effort by the biggest names in the Philippines today. The Ortigas, Ayala, and Sy families, who are some of the most influential groups when it comes to business, have all contributed to its development.
