MANILA, Philippines - Shifting into high gear, Century Properties Group is turning over 17 more buildings across its portfolio of luxury, middle income and affordable residential condominiums, as well as retail and medical office developments, up to 2017.

This year, the 28-year old property firm began this series of project completions in March, when it launched the Century City Mall, Makati newest mall in nearly a decade.

Century also turned over the 580-unit St. Tropez tower, the third residential building at the Azure Urban Resort Residences in Bicutan, Paranaque.

Two additional residential towers are slated for turnover in Azure next year.

Centuria Medical Makati, an outpatient IT-medical arts building, will be turned over at the end of this year. The 28-story project is Century Properties’ contribution to medical tourism and the improvement of outpatient care in the country.

Also located within Century City is the Milano Residences, a 53-story luxury tower with interiors designed by Versace Home. The tower completed its structural phase of construction this month and is on track for turnover by the end of 2015. 

By next year, Century Properties’ Mandaluyong project, Acqua Private Residences, will complete the Niagara and Sutherland towers, its first two towers within its 2.4-hectare tropical rainforest-themed development. The property will feature landscaped gardens with an exclusive clubhouse called The Pebble located in front of the regenerating Pasig River.

The company’s first development in Quezon City will also see the turnover of Osmeña West, the first tower at the Residences at Commonwealth.  The project is the first multi-level vertical village in the area that also highlights a nurturing and holistic environment for every member of the family.
