Other features include a four-level parking podium, retail spaces and an arcade area in the ground floor, a managed facility in the 6th floor which includes two boardrooms, three meeting rooms, a co-working space, an executive lounge, and a sky garden exclusive for the office unit owners. There will also be another sky garden at the tower’s rooftop to enjoy the refreshing view of the cityscape as well as a panoramic view of the Guimaras Island.
Megaworld is making more efforts to make eco-friendly and sustainable establishments like using LED lightings in common areas and dual flush-type water closets and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for proper waste segregation and recycling.
More than just a commercial building, this development is also a good investment and a once in a lifetime opportunity not just for Ilonggos but also for the business-minded individuals all over the country ready to venture in the Ilonggo market./PN
