Own a piece of Eden in the center of the living in the country's first residential Eden.
A sensational new masterplanned development located across Rockwell via a new bridge (Estrella-Pantaleon Bridg). Acqua follows nature's blueprint by injecting life into the sorrounding landscape, a paradise like an Eden, resulting in a lush tropical rainforest infused design that brings the nature's breathtaking water features and flourishing foliage into an urban location, at a point where two cities meet: MAKATI AND MANDALUYONG CITY.
“Acqua is a piece of paradise in the center of the metropolis, made even more exciting as residents will get such exclusive amenities as their own country club by the water, a riverwalk promenade, and a water shuttle that will transport them to and from Makati.”
The six-tower development is one of the highlights of Century Properties’ 25th anniversary this year, and is the much-anticipated follow on project of the Century Limitless brand, which develops high-quality homes at affordable prices. Conceptualized by Century Properties with the London-based award-winning design firm Broadway Malyan, and local counterpart R Villarosa Architects, Acqua’s unique riverside location provides a picture of how its surrounding environs will be revitalized in the coming years.
“We aim to contribute to the gentrification of an old industrial area into a bustling center of activity, as well as help realize the grand vision for the rebirth of the Pasig River and fill it with riverside attractions.” Construction will commence in 2012 and is projected to be completed by the second quarter of 2015.
The central amenity of the development is called The Pebble Country Club, a 3,000-square meter sports, health, wellness, and recreational facility. At the ground floor is the 300-meter Riverwalk Promenade, inspired by Singapore ’s Clark Quay area, that will feature restaurants, bars, and cafes.
A first of its kind feature that will be provided to residents and guests is a water shuttle that will take residents to and from the Makati riverside. “We are delighted to introduce a residential landmark that embraces the modern lifestyle and yet infuses the reinvigorating experience of being surrounded by a majestic tropical
rainforest.
The name is Acqua (Italian for water) because its inspiration is water as the giver of life. This inspiration is infused throughout the entire development - from the pixilated water stream design reflected in the building’s exterior skin, to the lagoon pool of The Pebble Country Club, to the 25-meter glass lap pool overlooking the Makati skyline, and culminating at the three iconic waterfalls at the Riverwalk Promenade.
Acqua will be managed by Century Properties Management Inc., the largest private property management firm in the country with a portfolio of 54 residential, office, and mixed-use buildings. It currently handled BPI Buendia Center, Asian Development Bank in Ortigas, Essensa East Forbes in Fort Bonifacio , and the Pacific Star Building in Makati .
Century Limitless has commissioned an extensive flood risk analysis for the site. The site’s location along the Pasig River ’s channel makes it less vulnerable to flood since it has open access to the sea. But as an added precaution, CLC is undertaking several measures to mitigate severe typhoons and strong rains: i.e. the ground floor of all towers, amenity, and retail areas will be raised 1.5 meters; the development will have two drains leading to the river, both with one-way valves to prevent backflow into the project in case the river overflows.
