A legacy of building great spaces for life
As one of the premier property developers in the Philippines, Ortigas Land touts a legacy rooted in its commitment to develop sustainable integrated communities that cater to various residential, commercial, and business needs.
Ortigas Land was established by lawyer Francisco Ortigas in 1931. It transformed “Hacienda de Mandaloyon”—then a huge expanse of undeveloped land spanning portions of Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, and Quezon City—into a vibrant and developing industrial, commercial, and residential hub.
Over the years, Ortigas Land has achieved new heights of growth and profitability through its continued launch and completion of residential, mall, and office projects.
To date, Ortigas Land has created some of Metro Manila’s “sought-after real estate” including the posh residential villages of Greenhills, Green Meadows, Valle Verde, and Wack Wack. It also built shopping malls such as Greenhills Malls, Estancia Mall, Industria Mall, and Tiendesitas, and contributed significantly to the establishment of the Ortigas central business district (CBD), one of the premier business hubs in Metro Manila.
Art and balance
Today, with its mission “to build great spaces for life,” Ortigas Land continues to create developments that recognize not only the changing needs and preferences of today’s market, but also the diversity of every Filipino community.
Its four mixed-use estates, namely Capitol Commons, Circulo Verde, Greenhills Center, and Ortigas East, are a showcase of how Ortigas Land continuously seeks to perfect the art and balance of life, work, and leisure, enabling this seasoned developer to cater to a much larger and more diverse market.
These estates allow present dwellers to enjoy the benefits of living in a complete and integrated community while still leaving room for growth for the next generation.
Besides these estates, Ortigas Land is also building more structures that will soon become the pinnacle of premier living in our country.
The Galleon
Rising in the heart of the Ortigas CBD is The Galleon, a mixed-use structure that blends commercial, retail, and residential facilities. Located along ADB Avenue, this complex has a 39-story office tower with a retail center and an upscale 51-story residential tower.
Residences at The Galleon will offer a lush environment integrated with sustainable features and thoughtful designs. It will have a total of 509 units that come with exquisite finishes and upscale amenities that future residents can enjoy.
Meanwhile, Offices at The Galleon will provide Grade A spaces with sustainable, efficient, and environment-friendly features.
It will form part of Ortigas Land’s growing office portfolio, which comprises The Glaston Tower and Silver City in Ortigas East, IBP Tower in Ortigas Center, and the Offices at Estancia in Capitol Commons.
The Empress
Touted as the “first wellness real estate in the country,” The Empress is a 56-story residential tower situated across Capitol Commons Park.
The planning and design of this project had health and wellness in mind. It uses color, texture, and light to provide residents with a therapeutic environment. It presents sophisticated, balanced living, biophilic design, chromotherapy or color therapy, mindful designs, innovative home features, and sustainability.
This luxury residential tower will comprise seven levels of basement parking space, retail areas at the ground level, three levels of podium parking, one podium amenity floor, 51 residential floors, and 771 units.
Overall, the project is ideal for those looking for a sanctuary in the middle of the metro and those who value comfort and convenience.
The Empress is set to become the benchmark of luxury design, giving people the best life has to offer in a lush environment. Turnover for this residential enclave is expected by the fourth quarter of 2026.
