It used to be largely unused and barren, a wasteland in fact. But thanks to its strategic location, it progressively transformed into a thriving central business district, where many local businesses, multinational companies and residential developers have set up shop.
The geographical midpoint of Metro Manila, Pasig City’s Ortigas Center, has become the second most important financial district after Ayala Avenue in Makati City. This 100-hectare expanse is home to sprawling shopping complexes and corporate headquarters, as well as some of the metro’s esteemed educational institutions and medical facilities. It is also home to a number of horizontal and vertical residential communities.
Surrounded by major thoroughfares, there’s significant foot traffic throughout Ortigas Center as well. And as it serves as the metro’s center, family and friends who live in opposite ends of the capital region find it convenient to meet here, whether for a nightcap after a long and grueling workday or for catching up during the weekends.
Colliers Philippines’ associate director for research Joey Roi Bondoc wrote in one of his columns for Inquirer Property that Ortigas Center is seen to attract more tenants, which could mean stronger take up of condominium units in the business district. He further shared a Colliers report stating that “geographical connectivity, community integration, accessibility through infrastructure and attractive business costs are amplifying Ortigas Center as an ideal commercial location.”
Indeed, there’s something for everyone in Ortigas Center, making it a viable business and residential address. Following the success of its first venture, The Currency, Vista Residences introduces The Spectrum, a 33-storey mixed-use development at the junction of Julia Vargas and F. Ortigas Jr. Avenues.
Designed for city dwellers with a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle, The Spectrum is the ideal address for those who want to be close to where everything happens while enjoying the security of an exclusive community. It is a stone’s throw from some of the city’s shopping destinations, posh retail outlets and corporate and business establishments.
Vista Residences’ newest project will feature commercial and office spaces on its second and third floors. Residential units meanwhile will start on the fifth floor.
Those considering a home at The Spectrum can choose from studio and one-bedroom unit cuts ranging from 21 sqm to 40.85 sqm. Amenities such as a swimming pool, a gym with top-of-the-line equipment, and function and meeting rooms, will be located on the fourth floor.
Complementing this urban haven’s carefully planned design and well-thought-out amenities are the 24/7 state-of-the-art security, five underground parking floors, and intelligent management and building systems.
For two decades now, Vista Residences has been on a mission to transform the country’s skyline with its exquisitely designed multiple-use condominiums, while delivering on its promise to build innovative, secure and sustainable communities. The Spectrum is yet another proof of the property developer’s expertise in space planning and property development and management.
