Architectural Leadership and Innovation
The Estate Makati stands as a testament to world-class architectural leadership, being the first project in the Philippines by the celebrated architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners. This 60-storey masterpiece is designed with nature and privacy in mind, boasting features that set it apart from other developments.
A defining element of The Estate Makati’s architectural ingenuity is its cruciform design, which eliminates columns within units, offering expansive and customizable living spaces. The double-slab technology—a first in the country—conceals wiring, plumbing, and electrical systems, enhancing efficiency and noise insulation. With ceiling heights of 3.2 meters, each unit exudes an airy grandeur that complements its prestigious address along Apartment Ridge.
Angular windows provide residents with private, panoramic views ranging from 180° to 270°, while double-glazed glass ensures cooling efficiency and acoustic insulation. For those seeking even more grandeur, the limited bi- level suites feature distinct spaces for entertainment and privacy. These suites include expansive living and dining areas on the first level, while bedrooms and en- suite master baths are located on the second level, with a central family area as a convergence point.
Amenities Tailored to the Elite
The Estate Makati’s amenities are thoughtfully designed to cater to every facet of an elevated lifestyle. From the moment residents arrive, they are wel- comed by a raised vehicular drop-off, concealed by manicured landscaping, ensuring both privacy and sophistica- tion. Inside, the development offers an array of exclusive amenities that elevate daily living.
For wine connoisseurs, the wine lounge on the 25th level features its own cellar, providing an intimate space for gatherings or personal relaxation. The sky garden offers a tranquil escape with sweeping city views, while the yoga studio and golf simulator balance wellness and leisure. Other highlights include a heated pool, kid’s pool, massage room, salon, piano lounge, and library, ensuring there is something for every lifestyle.
Personalized and professionally managed resident services further elevate the experience. A dedicated concierge team provides specialized services such as housekeeping, secretarial support, and wellness partnerships, reflecting the distinct needs of the high-end market.
A Landmark Achievement
The Estate Makati’s dual wins at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final underscore its standing as a premier ultra-luxury development. As the tallest skyscraper in the country, it combines visionary design, world- class amenities, and an unparalleled address to create a sanctuary for those who demand nothing less than the best.
Its location along the prestigious Apartment Ridge provides a distinct advantage, with vehicular access via Ayala Avenue—a first and only across the stretch of this renowned address. This thoughtful design ensures privacy and exclusivity from the very first step.
The Estate Makati continues to set new benchmarks for high-end living, reaffirming its role as a symbol of prestige, innovation, and architectural excellence. With visionary leaders like SM Prime Holdings Chairman Henry Sy, Jr. and GT Capital Holdings Vice Chairman Alfred Ty at the helm, it is a timeless investment for generations to come. As Asia’s pinnacle of ultra-luxury living, The Estate Makati cements its legacy as a landmark of unmatched sophistication.
