Ascott’s first property in the north
International serviced residence owner-operator The Ascott Ltd. is opening its first property in the north called Citadines Milennium Ortigas Manila.
Developed by CDC Holdings, this 32-storey project is set to open in the second quarter of this year, making it the 7th property in the fast-growing Ascott Philippine cluster.
“By building Citadines Millenium Ortigas Manila in the central business and commercial district of Ortigas, we are providing young business executives and couples, a space where they can both work and enjoy a dynamic city lifestyle,” said Arthur Gindap, regional general manager at The Ascott Ltd., Philippines and Thailand.
Citadines Millennium Ortigas Manila is just a stone’s throw away from Ortigas’ row of corporate establishments including the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Philippine Stock Exchange as well as health and lifestyle hubs such as malls, restaurants, and fitness centers.
Its 293 contemporary apartments will offer spacious units, each of which will be fully equipped with home amenities such as a fully functioning kitchen and wireless internet.
Elsie Chua, president and chief executive officer of CDC Holdings, shared: “All throughout the building, from the lobby to the amenities to the serviced residence floor, we have applied greenery and green features so residents may find serenity and beauty of nature amidst the bustling city.”
Citadines Millenium Ortigas Manila has also incorporated energy-and water-saving features throughout the property to help reduce carbon footprint.
The building was built to conform to global environmental specifications by using energy-efficient lighting, which makes use of LED lights that burn less energy. Apartment toilets meanwhile feature water-saving fittings like the dual flush toilet cisterns to cut down on water consumption.
Citadines also makes good use of natural lighting and ventilation to minimize environmental impact. More importantly, the apartments have double-glazed windows that prevent unwanted heat from coming in and which can help reduce medium to high frequency noise from outside.
The property further features pockets of green with its garden deck found at the building’s fourth floor, as well as guests’ lounge, swimming pool, and fitness center where guests and residents are rest assured to have an enjoyable stay.
The artsy vibe is reflected throughout the building while apartment designs have incorporated touches of indigenous art to provide total local experience and homey vibe.
Citadines Millenium Ortigas is uniquely mixed with bio-mimicry, showcasing designs bearing elements of nature such as stones, grass, leaves and chartreuse colors.
