Lessons on prosperity by design

MANILA, Philippines - Ortigas & Company launches its first premiere residential tower at the heart of San Juan this October. Dubbed Viridian at Greenhills, the tower promises to give future residents the full experience of prosperous life, with is favorable location and superb amenities.

Viridian at Greenhills sits right at the center of prosperity or the ‘Belly of the Dragon’. The Chinese consider such location that channels enough wind and exposure to the sun—the perfect living condition where life can take place. It is believed that people who live in the Belly of the Dragon are secure, able, and prosperous.

The tower’s design would reflect the vibrancies and charm of the neighborhood — a combination of geography and aesthetics that draw in and exhibit opulence. The well-loved shopping complex, where Viridian will be built, has been standing since the late 1960s amassing a thousand different stories about romance, success, and finding happiness.

“We built Greenhills in 1967 as a complete shopping and entertainment destination, with cinemas, bowling alleys, and the best restaurants. It was a hit with consumers. It was also the place where budding entrepreneurs would test their aptitude and luck—and, in time, they have prospered. Some built strong brands that gained presence in most shopping malls in Metro Manila, while others chose to expand by setting up other businesses,” says Joey Santos, senior vice president of Ortigas & Company.

Viridian at Greenhills will rise 53 stories: 49 residential floors with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, two retail floors, one amenities floor, and five levels of basement parking. It promises to give residents a magnificent view of the Sierra Madre mountain range, the Wack-Wack golf course, and the Ortigas skyline.

Traditionally recognized as a hub for value-shoppers, Greenhills Shopping Center is evolving. A new redevelopment plan is in place to transform this eclectic center into a more exciting shopping and living destination converting Greenhills Shopping Center into a complete live, work and play community.

“Greenhills embraces and promotes a vibrant link to the community. A retail and entertainment hub that serves as the foundation of an eclectic environment of cultures, influences and tastes.”Viridian, part of the redevelopment’s first phase, will be the new luxury residential condominium located at the corner of Connecticut St. and Missouri St. in the Northeast Sector of Greenhills Shopping Center. It is designed to feel like a private residential enclave where residents can have convenient access to various dining and entertainment destinations that the center offers.

Additionally, the plan calls for doubling the shopping space that will amplify the “tiangge” shopping style area, while allowing for a wider array of well-known fashion and lifestyle brands. This enhancement will be supported by improvements in the entertainment corridor, which will include additional dining options, as well as three state-of-the-art cinemas that will showcase the latest in digital technology.

At its core, the redevelopment plan calls for bringing back the”community gathering place” feel that has always been associatedwith Greenhills and soon this experience will be personalized for those few that will invest in the future of Greenhills and call Viridian home.
