Aurelia Residences and the pursuit of refined living in BGC
It was once a military base, with sections of cogon grass as far as the eye can see, instead of the glossy skyscrapers that people ogle at now.
Over the years, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has evolved into one of the country’s thriving districts, a coveted address for businesses, retail, and dining establishments, and those eyeing a home that promises convenience and brandishes status.
A premier destination
BGC has established itself as the premier destination for luxury developers to showcase their landmark projects, a reputation that Aurelia Residences is poised to elevate even further.
Jointly developed by Shang Properties Inc. and Robinsons Land Corp., this soon-to-be completed development is well on its way to become the new gold standard in ultra luxury living. The location itself—overlooking 5th Ave., McKinley Road and McKinley Parkway—already seems like a seat of illustriousness and power.
Aurelia Residences is designed to exude good taste combined with sophistication and serenity. It combines sprezzatura, an effortless and understated sense of classic Italian elegance, and Filipino sensibilities—brought to life by Aurelia’s world-renowned team of architects and designers namely Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and FM Architettura D’Interni.
Exceptional architecture and design
Aurelia’s three-petal form goes beyond aesthetics, the architectural design promises natural light filled spaces and seamless flow of ventilation.
Each unit also gets unique and unobstructed views of the city and surrounding greenery—the vibrant BGC to the north; Manila Polo Club, Manila Golf Club and Manila Bay to the southwest; and Laguna de Bay to the southeast.
The grand lobby space is fashioned in a way that residents feel a sense of “meraviglia”—the Italian for wonder or amazement—as soon as they step into Aurelia.
“We fell in love with the movement of the Filipino terno and custom-designed a stunning chandelier inspired by this traditional garment, reconstructing the beautiful effect of the twisted fabric,” explained Francesca Muzio, designer and founder and CEO of FM Architettura D’Interni.
Sense of community
Just as Aurelia Residences’ residents are provided with a secure and comforting sense of privacy, the development was made sure to not lack features that can nurture kinship and a sense of community.
It has an array of amenities that are not only designed for comfort but to enhance every aspect of its residents’ lifestyles.
Over 5,000 sqm of exclusive first-class amenities await Aurelia Residences’ homeowners. The Canopy Room is a multipurpose function space that opens out to the greenery and the poolside, while the pool area glows with a resort-like vibe with the palm trees. There are plush lounge spaces throughout the property’s wings and amenity levels as well.
Fitness freaks will surely be pleased with the fully equipped gym. There’s a jacuzzi or sauna room for those who need to de-stress. A lavishly appointed home cinema awaits film buffs. The little ones are not left behind because Aurelia has the cutest and most fun play area for kids.
With just 285 generously sized units, one can only imagine the exclusivity and comfort that this project will bring its residents.
As BGC continues to cement its position as the country’s foremost luxury destination, Aurelia Residences is poised to become its darling. Shang Properties and Robinsons Land have intended it to be more than a residence—it is a statement of timeless style, architectural excellence and refined urban living.
