Araneta Center is one of the busiest and pioneer shopping and entertainment hubs in the country. It is here where all forms of entertainment and business converge. Cinemas, retail centers, wet markets, department stores, concert and sports halls – name them and they are all here. In fact, even Asia’s biggest coliseum is located at the heart of Araneta Center, the Big Dome (formerly Araneta Coliseum), host to most international and local concerts, events, and productions. Ali Mall, one of the country’s first malls to rise can be found in the center. Biggest names in Philippine retail industry – Rustan’s, SM, and Fairmart – have also found their homes in Araneta Center.

Laureano De Trevi is residential condominium consisting of three towers in Pasong Tamo, Makati, Philippines. With the tallest soaring 125 meters, the design concept revolves around the relationship among man, heaven, and earth. The variation of building heights are portrayed by these elements as they reach to the sky. To maintain the feeling of a regular home with a yard, a sky garden is situated at the podium deck which is shared by the towers. Moreover, this area is envisioned to be a breathing green space complete with various amenities for the use of the residents.

As a response to the advocacy on green architecture, basic designing and building techniques were practiced. Passive cooling is achieved by orienting the buildings against direct sunlight and by placing windows properly to benefit from the monsoon winds. All units are provided with adequate indirect sunlight while having a magnificent yet unblocked view of the remarkable Makati Central Business District.

In response to the evolving role of Makati City, McKinley Road, the main access of Fort Bonifacio to EDSA and Ayala Center, has been proposed for a mixed use development. With an extensively landscaped plan, the McKinley Road Mixed Use Development project will feature a strip of lifestyle shops and boutiques – from dining to entertainment, from health to services. The project has a total building footprint of 10,095 square meters near the Sanctuario de San Antonio Church in Forbes Park amidst plush residential subdivisions such as the villages of Dasmariñas, San Miguel, San Lorenzo, Bel Air, Palm C, Magallanes, and Urdaneta.

What is so good about this development is that age-old acacia trees will be preserved to maintain the parklike ambience of Mc Kinley Road. What’s more, the new buildings will serve as buffers for the residences against noise and air pollution brought by the increasing volume of vehicles along EDSA and McKinley Road.

Pinnacles Development is a 2,500-hectare development in California. The proposed multi-use development integrates a retirement community, university facilities, and mixed-use development. The Pinnacles development will create a retirement community or farm lots and will make use of the vineyards existing at the site. It will also include the creation of university facilities and other mixed-use development such as commercial/retail centers and community service facilities.

From a former thermal plant rises the most ambitious and probably the signature project of the firm: the Rockwell Center, a mixed-use development bring together places to live, work, shop, dine, recreate, worship, and learn. The objective of the project is to create a self-sufficient neighborhood where all elements co-exist within walking distance of each other. Likewise, to place each urban element within a garden setting and paving found in other neighborhoods. In effect creating a garden live, work, and play environment within a major city.

Located along JP Rizal in Makati City fronting Pasig River, Rockwell Center is an amenity-rich environment which fuses together residential towers, office spaces, educational and religious institutions, and a shopping mall. Residential buildings are classified into four types: luxury apartments such as the Rizal Tower and the Luna Gardens, moderate apartments like the Hidalgo Place and Amorsolo Square, service apartments, and townhouses or flats. A 15.79-hectaredevelopment of a former thermal plant, Rockwell Center has been divided into a system of blocks and lots. Each block is carefully planned to optimize the usage of land. 50% of the total l and area is dedicated to greens and open spaces.

Envisioned to be a “mixed-use development that integrates places to live, work, shop, and dine,” the Conceptual Master Plan of Iloilo Business Park will be a balance of modern and heritage architecture, fusion of building and open spaces, and destination of round-the-clock activity centers.

Iloilo’s strengths include its status as the regional center of Western Visayas, being home to some of the country’s top universities, and its accessibility through an airport of world-class facilities. As the center of Iloilo City, Mandurriao has been chosen to be site of the Iloilo Business Park.

True to its commitment to pedestrianization and open spaces, the Iloilo Business Park has been inspired by the pedestrian-dominated streets of Las Ramblas in Barcelona and other walkable streets in Europe. This will be supported by better access to transport terminals, and improved flood and sewage management.
