In a city that rarely sleeps, a sanctuary of calm has opened its doors. Federal Land’s The Grand Midori Ortigas has officially inaugurated its first tower, signaling a new chapter in urban living defined by harmony, balance, and mindfulness. Rising in the heart of Ortigas Center, the minimalist development embodies the timeless philosophy of Zen, where simplicity meets sophistication, and tranquility finds its home amid the energy of Pasig City.
Harmony by design
The inauguration ceremony celebrated more than just a structural milestone, as it honored a vision brought to life. Led by Federal Land Chairman Alfred Ty, Vice Chairman Thomas Mirasol, President Jose Mari Banzon, Metrobank Foundation Board Member Aniceto Sobrepeña, Pasig City Representative Congressman Roman Romulo, and Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, the event marked the completion of Tower 1 and the beginning of a new community.
“For over 53 years, Federal Land has dedicated itself to creating projects that contribute to nation-building through thoughtful, future-forward designs that add value to the community and enable people to lead balanced, fulfilling lives,” said Ty. “As Federal Land’s first foray in Pasig City, The Grand Midori Ortigas was envisioned as a modern Zen-inspired sanctuary in the heart of Ortigas Center. It is a welcoming retreat that brings balance, serenity, and harmony to city living. Today, that promise stands tall before us.”
Designed in collaboration with Tokyo-based Tange Associates, the globally renowned architectural firm founded by Pritzker Laureate Kenzo Tange, The Grand Midori Ortigas fuses Japanese artistry with modern functionality. Chairman Paul Tange noted that their approach always prioritizes comfort and individuality. “When we work on design, we consider how to incorporate the individual style and personality into the architecture. Of course, we prioritize the comfort of the people who will use the space in all our architecture.”
The design language of the development draws from the Japanese concepts of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and miyabi (elegant refinement). Its distinctive weave facade is an interplay of Japanese tatami and Filipino banig patterns, which serves as both a visual signature and a natural cooling element. Inside the property are warm textures, natural light, and a Zen-inspired lobby, creating an atmosphere that immediately calms and welcomes.
Stillness amid the city pulse
Currently ready for occupancy, Tower 1 offers thoughtfully designed units that reflect Federal Land’s pursuit of well-being through space and design. From studio units for young professionals to expansive three-bedroom homes for growing families, every layout is crafted to nurture mindfulness and balance.
For urban dwellers, the location offers rare convenience. The Grand Midori Ortigas is minutes away from key corporate offices, top schools like St. Paul College Pasig and La Salle Green Hills, and premier retail centers. It presents a lifestyle where residents can work, learn, play, and recharge all within the same vibrant district.
Tower 2 will soon introduce a unique One-Bedroom Flex Suite that adds an adaptable 30-square-meter space to suit evolving lifestyles, whether as a home office, nursery, studio, or wellness room.
Complementing the residences are Zen-inspired amenities that encourage relaxation and community connection. Tower 1’s features include a lap pool, Jacuzzi, fully equipped gym, landscaped Zen garden, and function rooms designed for both social gatherings and quiet reflection. Future amenities at Tower 2 will also further expand the development’s vision of holistic, balanced living.
Where movement finds balance
Situated along Exchange Road in Ortigas Center, The Grand Midori Ortigas stands at one of Metro Manila’s most connected crossroads. The location offers seamless access to major business districts through infrastructure developments like the BGC–Ortigas Link Bridge and the forthcoming Metro Manila Subway. This puts residents at the midpoint of the metropolis, close to everything yet comfortingly detached from its chaos.
With its first tower complete and only a few units remaining, The Grand Midori Ortigas is a rare opportunity to own a serene home in the heart of a thriving business hub. As President Jose Mari Banzon shared, “The Grand Midori Ortigas is our vision of what city living can be: elegant and calming, but still right in step with the vibrant lifestyle of Ortigas Center. It’s a home that lets you enjoy the energy of the CBD while giving a calming Zen retreat to come home to.”
Experience the modern Zen
Federal Land will host A Holiday Home Fair on November 16, 2025, at the Mayuree Grand Ballroom of Dusit Thani Manila to offer guests a glimpse of the lifestyle that awaits at The Grand Midori Ortigas.
Ortigas Center is defined by movement, but The Grand Midori Ortigas offers stillness. It is a home where thoughtful design converges with mindful living, and where every space, line, texture, and light tells a story of balance and belonging.
