team for Century City, which includes the world-renowned Jon Adams Jerde of the Jerde Partnership International and the premiere Filipino architectural firm Roger Villarosa Architects & Associates are instrumental in bringing this innovation to the history of Philippine real estate.

“The Sky Park is a proof of our desire to reintegrate nature into the dense urban land-scape. We want to provide city dwellers with the organic environment that many of us grew up with,” said John Victor Antonio, COO of Century Properties Inc.

Master architect Jon Jerde adds: “Landscaping is traditionally kept at the ground level. We are putting a higher dimensional approach to it, an interactive approach, through the Sky Garden. This is why we have created terraces, patios and gardens on different levels that is innovative.”

Traditionally, activities and community interaction transpire at the ground level of residential high-rises where amenities are found. This, however, will change with the creation of the Sky Park.

“We have created a new activity zone,” Antonio says. “One that is halfway up the tow-ers that will give breathtaking views of the city’s skyline.”

The Sky Park will be among the innovative lifestyle amenities that can be enjoyed in Century City, a mixed-use development in the new Makati Central Business District that fosters a seamless live, work and play environment with a 24/365 dynamic. Cen-tury City will comprise fully-fitted, fully-furnished and fully-serviced luxury residenc-es, the Philippines’ very first “green” office buildings, and an expansive and organic glassed-in lifestyle complex with world-renowned restaurants, retail shops, bars, dance clubs, cinemas, cafes and other entertainment attractions.

Century City will rise on the last remaining large piece of prime real estate in the very heart of the Philippines’ Central Business District—“MoMa,” or “Modern Makati.” The epicenter of Philippine social, cultural and financial activity, Makati is the pre-miere choice for offices and residences. It is home to a total of 62,878 establishments, including 461 head offices of banks, over 30 major IT companies, 27 contact centers, four historic churches, over 100 educational institutions, Five-Star hotels, the biggest and most upscale shopping malls and entertainment centers, and the country’s most exclusive villages. And Makati is constantly evolving and reinvigorating, transforming into a true megalopolis that is poised to compete with other urban centers all over the world.

“The Sky Park is just one of Century City’s many, many innovations. We invite everyone to learn more about our latest development and discover more,” Antonio concludes.

Take a relaxing dip in a pool that gives you breathtaking views of the city, 36 floors above the ground. Sunbathe and surrender to the soothing cadence of cascading waterfalls. Get a massage, work up a sweat in the gym, or learn Pilates while your kids have fun at the nearby playground. Or simply delight in the magnificent sunrise and sunset views from a sweeping garden deck in your residence that gives you a spectacular 360-degree picture of the city’s skyline.

Such luxuries that are often missing today’s modern residen-tial high-rises need not be left to the imagination any longer. They’re all coming true at Century City, the evolutionary devel-opment of Century Properties in the heart of what is now called “MoMa,” or “Modern Makati”.

The creative team of this progressive “city within a city” has revealed a sweeping and breathtaking Sky Park in the blue-

prints of its residential high-rises, a veritable oasis of greens and amenities set 36 storeys above the ground, and traversing each of the towers.

And the very first residents who will get to enjoy nature in the sky will be the unit owners of The Gramercy Residences, the first building to rise among Century City’s cluster of residential towers.

The Sky Park will let unit owners experience both the joys of being close to nature and the conveniences of city living. It fea-tures three world-class swimming pools, cascading waterfalls, three distinct gyms, a yoga / Pilates room, spa and massage center, a THX theater with a DVD library, a day care center, children’s playground and many other amenities.

While several developments here and abroad have attempted to create sky parks in the past, this is the first time that it will be implemented in such a grand scale. Century Properties’ design
