Award winning, LEED Gold targeted Arya Residence, is due for completion, the first quarter of 2014. Tower 2 has been launched after strong sales from Tower 1, have seen over 70% of apartments sold off the plan, in a short period of time.

Facade treatments are well under way at Arya, with options provided for the horizontal louvres to feature at the top of the building. Mock-ups of the sun shading devices, will be provided on site, to evaluate the best colour fit for the building. The light colouring of the building was designed, to best reflect the strong heat loads on the building, prevalent in the Philippines.

With Arya Residence LEED Gold and BERDE certification targets, as well as the signature 180 Brisbane, commercial office tower, 6 Star Green Star target, Crone Partners are becoming renowned for their expertise in Green Building Design.

AYALA Land Premier, kindly gave me a tour of the marketing suite, for the Crone Partners designed, Garden Towers, last week in Makati. Currently 50% of apartments are sold in tower 1, with the expectation of 70% to be sold by October this year. Preparation of marketing material for tower 2 is well underway and we hope Ayala Land Premier, will again request additional works on the Design Development Stage, as provided for tower 1. Fingers crossed.
