Japanese design principles are renowned for their exquisite simplicity, unmatched functionality, and timeless elegance. These elements have influenced residential architecture and interior design, emphasizing harmony, balance, and a deep connection with nature in homes.
The Grand Midori Ortigas is a prime example of the growing appeal of Japanese design in the Philippines. The premium residential development, located in Ortigas Central Business District (CBD), is designed to offer residents a serene and balanced lifestyle amidst the fast-paced environment of one of Metro Manila’s major business hubs.
World-class design inspired by the essential
For The Grand Midori Ortigas, Federal Land tapped into the creativity of Tange Associates to forge an authentic infusion of Japanese design and innovation into the building’s architecture and create a unique living experience that is both elegant and purposeful.
The Grand Midori Ortigas features a graceful façade that, according to Tange, combines the Japanese ‘tatami’ with the Filipino ‘banig’ to craft a flowing weave pattern that provides a comforting feel of Filipino home. The façade’s horizontal and vertical louvers also serve as a form of climate control measure to improve airflow and quality as well as a sunshade device. Inside, amenity spaces are inspired by the Japanese concepts ‘wabi-sabi’ which refers to finding beauty in imperfection, and ‘miyabi’ defined by the expression of elegance and refinement, presents a unique living experience for mindful and contemporary urbanites.
Strategic location in the heart of the Metro
Situated along Exchange Road in Ortigas Center, The Grand Midori Ortigas offers residents seamless access to key business districts, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and transport hubs.
The newly constructed BGC-Ortigas Link Bridge, also known as the Kalayaan Bridge, significantly reduces travel time between Ortigas and Bonifacio Global City (BGC), making it a convenient halfway home for professionals working in both districts. The development also benefits from future infrastructure projects, such as the Metro Manila Subway System and the Ortigas Greenway Project.
Furthermore, the Ortigas CBD is currently experiencing a surge in residential rental demand, driven by the economic recovery and return-to-office mandates post-pandemic. As nearby infrastructure projects near completion, property values in the area are expected to rise, making The Grand Midori Ortigas a smart investment choice for discerning buyers.
Diverse amenities for a balanced lifestyle
The Grand Midori Ortigas is distinguished in the busy landscape of Ortigas CBD by its integration of nature into its design. Lush, green walkways connect various amenities on the building’s amenity floor, creating a natural outdoor space.
The outdoor amenities include a lap pool, Jacuzzi, children’s pool, and pool lounge, all surrounded by landscaped gardens. Additionally, the development features a children’s outdoor play area and a well-designed Zen garden that offers residents a tranquil retreat for meditation and relaxation.
Meanwhile, indoor amenities include a lounge area for relaxation, a fitness area for health enthusiasts, a yoga room for those seeking inner peace, and a game room for entertainment. For families with children, there is a dedicated playroom, while students and professionals will appreciate the study lounge and conference room. The multipurpose room is also ideal for hosting events and gatherings.
Upgraded Urban living
The Grand Midori Ortigas offers a variety of unit configurations to suit different needs and preferences. Units range from studio apartments, ranging from 35-38 square meters, to spacious three-bedroom units, ranging from 105-109 square meters.
Accordingly, the flexibility of these units ensures that the condominium caters to a wide range of lifestyles, from young professionals to growing families. The Grand Midori Ortigas has received both local and international recognition for its exceptional design and architecture. The project has bagged several prestigious awards, including the Best Residential High-Rise Architecture in the Philippines at the 2022 International Property Awards Asia-Pacific, the Best Condo Architectural Design and Highly Commended for Best High-End Condo Development (Metro Manila) at the 2023 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, and, most recently, the Best CBD Development at the 2024 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards.
