Offices at The Galleon: Workspace all set for the future

An ideal workplace should benefit both the company and its workers. If it only favors one, problems will inevitably emerge and undermine the business.

Today, as companies weather a pandemic-induced recession, many of them have started to look for ways to regain footing and adapt to the new normal, including finding better and healthier workspaces that will allow them to address the health and safety concerns of their employees.

Ortigas Land’s Offices at The Galleon offers a solution to all these concerns. Offices at The Galleon is one-half of the veteran developer’s mixed-use complex along ADB Avenue in Ortigas Center called The Galleon. One tower, rising 51 stories high, will offer luxury condominiums. The 39-story Offices at The Galleon, meanwhile, provides 418 Grade A offices. So what makes this Ortigas Land building right for both companies and their employees?

AMAZING DESIGN

The first ever mixed-use complex in Ortigas Center is a standout. The structure looks like a majestic galleon with the towers representing the sails and the spire looking like masts. The podium resembles a hull, its patterns evoking the waves of the sea.

Small details make The Galleon an envied address inside and out. Exceptional finishes and innovative features will inspire workers. The tower will run on a state-of-the-art building management system, and will have a grand lobby, high-speed elevators, as well as its own drop-offs and parking slots.

SUSTAINABILITY

Offices at The Galleon packs more than just physical beauty. It also partakes in the campaign to go green.

The Galleon complies with the Green Building Code and is also pursuing a Silver Accreditation under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. Key sustainable features will not only ensure savings but also the occupants’ well-being. These include double-glazed windows, LED lights, efficient water fixtures and rainwater collection facilities. Commissioned studies will further ensure that none of the units would suffer from glare or extreme heat, and would enjoy clean, odor-free air.

EXPERIENCE

Experts have said that the new normal in work will be hybrid—a mix of onsite and remote.

Companies must, thus, ensure that the traditional workplace transforms into Gensler’s “experience supercharger,” a place that excites them. But even before COVID-19, Offices at The Galleon has already fit that description. Companies and their employees will benefit from the live-work-play environment created by Ortigas Land. At The Galleon, you have the option to live where you work, and shop and dine at the podium. There are pocket spaces, gardens and lounges where you and your coworkers can hang out.

LOCATION

Want to explore what lies beyond? No problem. The Galleon enjoys a highly strategic location, enabling employees to move around easily, thanks to its easy access to main roads and transport nodes. Employees can easily walk to nearby shopping complexes, banks, hotels and other hangouts, while other central business districts are just a short drive from here. The Galleon is also neighbors with the likes of San Miguel Corp., Asian Development Bank and other multinational corporations.

FUTURE

This mecca is not past its prime. Projects will positively impact Ortigas Center. Last June 12, the Kalayaan Bridge opened, reducing the travel time between Ortigas Center and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to 30 minutes. Soon, the Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge will shorten travel between Mandaluyong and Makati. The Metro Manila Subway Project and Metro Rail Transit Line 4 are in the pipeline, too, connecting Ortigas to Valenzuela and Taguig, and Taytay, Rizal and Quezon City.

Despite these additions, property prices are still so much lower than those in Makati and BGC—for now. This is thus the perfect time to snag a spot at Offices at The Galleon. Grab this advantageous new home for companies and workers, before the ship sails.
