From the center of the Philippines’ premier financial district rises the ultimate address for those who enjoy the trappings of success. One Central, the grandest undertaking yet of top developer Megaworld Corporation for the most discriminating set of A-listers, sets the standard in high luxury living by being located in the last ultra prime piece of real estate in Makati. Architectural firm Preben Kent designed the P5.5-billion single tower of One Central, reminiscent of the iconic Empire State and Chrysler buildings in New York City.
A boomerang-shaped edifice with Art Deco inspirations, One Central is called such because it is the only one of its kind, and its central location speaks volumes about its accessibility and proximity to the most eminent business and leisure establishments. It is located at the junction of Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. and De La Costa and Geronimo streets, putting you at the center of the action yet cocooning you in your private nest of magnificence.
