The Gramercy Condominium

WELCOME TO CENTURY CITY

Century City will be an entirely new urban experience set to redefine the Makati skyline.

Inspired by history’s greatest architect, Mother Nature, it will be an organic futurecity that fuses nature and Urbanity.

Featuring exclusive Hyper-Amenitized Residences, state-of-the-art corporate complexes, a private recreational club, and a sprawling shopping, dining, and entertainment lifestyle center unlike anything ever built.

In the Philippines’ central business district, spanning an avenue we call “Kalayaan,” which is the Filipino word for “Freedom”, it will be an experience that liberates us from everything we have ever known in defining a city.

With a true 24/365 global dynamic, it will be the embodiment of our country’s highest aspirations, the pride of the Philippines, and soon to become one of Asia’s most exciting destinations.

Makati Skyline

LOCATION MAP

Makati radiates the financial pulse of the nation; it is the birthplace of dreams, the cradle of opportunity. It is both the origin and destination of desires, where you will find the most desired and most expensive real estate in the entire country.

As with any megalopolis, this city continues to grow, expand and revitalize itself, and part of its perpetual flux is the expansion of the Central Business District, encompassing the areas north of the old financial center.

Century City will rise right in the heart of this new district, a shining symbol of our nation's highest aspirations; an icon of the new Philippines--modern, progressive and truly world-class.

In the next few years, massive infrastructure development, road widening, public works beautification, and construction will be undertaken to ensure ease of access to the development as well as create a unique and distinct ambience as you approach and depart from this exciting new place.

Inside Century City

VISION

With only the imagination as the summit of possibility, Century Properties, the country’s largest privately-owned real estate development company, embarks on one of the most progressive projects in the history of Philippine Real Estate.

A sprawling mixed-use development for work, live and play, it will be totally different from what we are used to in defining a city.

A vision this bold attracts the world's most esteemed designers and planners. Among them is Jon Adams Jerde, of The Jerde Partnership, world-renowned masterplanner of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles, the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games in California, Zlote Tarasy in Poland, and the upcoming City of Dreams in Macau.

Philosophy

PHILOSOPHY

Century City is a product of Century Properties’ in-depth consultation with history’s greatest architect: Mother Nature. Replicating the underlying blueprint of ecosystems that exist in nature, the city becomes a living, breathing organism, that features:

  • Residential projects sprouting like redwoods reaching for the sky;
  • Canyons that connect and intersect with an underground and above ground system for parking;
  • A sprawling lifestyle center that spans the entire land area planted with delightful elements of retail, dining, entertainment

  • State-of-the-art corporate complexes, serving as a source of nourishment for the entire community.

INSPIRATION

Inspired by the spirit of the great city of New York, The Gramercy Residences will be the first tower to rise at Century City.

This ultra-exclusive hyper-amenitized condo project takes its name from Manhattan’s ultra-exclusive Gramercy Park, a fenced-in private park in New York City’s most prestigious of neighborhoods, accessible only to the well-heeled residents of the buildings in the area who are assigned keys to the park. A sanctuary in the middle of the city’s relentless pace, it echoes the New York of a quieter, gentler time. Here, at the turn of a key, is peace and quiet, a place to muse and reflect, read a newspaper or merely catch some sun. It is here that Cyrus Field conceived the Trans-Atlantic Cable, Mark Twain played pool, and an eight-year old John F. Kennedy chased the squirrels on a lazy afternoon.

It is the exclusivity, the history, and the central characteristics of Gramercy Park in New York, that has inspired in no small measure, the first urban icon set to rise in progressive Century City: The Gramercy Residences will feature interiors and aesthetics that evoke the Big Apple’s unmistakable flair, and the exclusivity and style of its Manhattanite namesake.


Century City
