Ayala Land Premier’s latest landmark anchors the revitalization of De La Rosa District
Property Report joined Ayala Land Premier’s exclusive preview of Laurean Residences, a new beacon of luxury rising along Dela Rosa Street in Makati. The event began with a rare experience—a sound bath led by artist Malou Araneta. Calming and resonant, it commanded stillness after the rush of the city, a fitting prelude to a development envisioned as a sanctuary of respite at the very heart of urban life.
A landmark in Makati’s transformation
Set within De La Rosa Gardens, a 1.3-hectare revitalized district designed as a walkable, mixed-use hub, Laurean Residences reflects Makati’s ongoing evolution. Here, a 65-story tower introduces a spectrum of homes—from 72-sqm suites to expansive residences up to 402 sqm, as well as rare bi-level villas—crafted for modern lifestyles.
Mike Jugo, President of Ayala Land Premier, described the project as more than another residential tower, “Laurean Residences is an inspired vision of refined city living, but more than a collection of homes, it is an urban sanctuary where timeless architecture, purposeful amenities, and meticulous craftsmanship come together to elevate everyday life. Laurean Residences continues Ayala Land Premier’s tradition of creating enduring communities that embody modern luxury in the Philippines.”
Inspired by the laurel crown, Laurean’s signature design crowns the Makati skyline with a new landmark of elegance. More than a symbol of honor and success, it represents a legacy of refined living for generations to come. International design firms HB Design, Joyce Wang Studio, and Landscape Tectonix, together with trusted local collaborators, ensure the development combines global refinement with Filipino sensibility.
Makati today and tomorrow
The launch comes at a time when Makati is reasserting its role as both the country’s financial center and its cultural hub. Anna Bautista, project development manager for Ayala Land Premier, noted how the “Make It Happen, Make It Makati” campaign has funneled more than P125 billion since 2012 into revitalization efforts. “Makati is a city that honors the past while it continues to shape the future. These investments have ensured that Makati remains relevant today and for generations to come.”
Today, Makati is defined not only by offices and banks but by parks, cultural landmarks, and lively community events. Car-free Sundays, art fairs, food festivals, and weekend markets add vitality to daily life. Looking forward, Bautista said the Makati of Tomorrow rests on three strategic pillars: connectivity, mixed-use redevelopment, and greening the public realm.
Laurean Residences embodies this future. Directly linked to the Dela Rosa elevated walkway, residents enjoy unmatched access to offices, malls, and parks. Over half a hectare of exclusive amenities—managed by Ayala Land Hospitality—creates the feel of a private city club, with concierge, chauffeur, private chef, and housekeeping services. The project is also EDGE-certified, featuring resource-efficient systems, EV charging stations, and EV-ready parking slots.
An antidote to busy urban life
For Hans Lopez-Vito, Ayala Land head of brand experience and strategy for corporate, residential and estates, Laurean Residences responds to a universal need for balance, “We need an antidote for urban life. This is our antidote—our urban sanctuary, a place that can be our oasis in the midst of our busy lives in this amazing city.”
The market has already taken notice. A quarter of the units have been sold, with high-zone residences among the first to be secured—reflecting strong demand for premium Makati addresses that offer both prestige and lasting value.
As the city continues to grow, Laurean Residences rises not just as another luxury tower but as a sanctuary—one that mirrors Makati’s vibrant rhythm while giving its residents a new way of living.
