In Makati, where tall buildings rise close to each other and the streets are always alive with movement, finding a quiet place to call home can feel rare. Ayala Land Premier (ALP) hopes to offer that balance with Laurean Residences, its newest development designed as an “urban sanctuary” that combines city convenience with the comfort of retreat.
Located along Dela Rosa Street, the 65-story tower will feature a range of spaces, from compact suites to larger two- to four-bedroom homes, and even rare bi-level villas. Prices start at about P650,000 per square meter. Depending on the unit, residents can look out over Ayala Triangle Gardens, the Makati skyline or catch sunsets from higher floors facing Manila Bay.
“City living is amazing, but to be able to live in a city, once in a while, you need to leave it. We do need an antidote to urban life. This, with what we’ve developed, is that antidote, that urban sanctuary. [Laurean] is a place that can be our oasis in the hustle and bustle of our daily urban city life,” said Hans Lopez-Vito, ALP project development head.
At the exclusive preview for the media, ALP executives explained that Laurean Residences builds on the company’s earlier luxury projects but brings something new to the market. Lower floors will look out onto park views, while higher floors promise sweeping city sights. West-facing units, often overlooked in other developments, are expected to appeal to residents who enjoy watching the sunset at the end of the day.
Laurean Residences is also built with sustainability in mind. The tower will be EDGE-certified, with energy- and water-saving systems that help lower monthly costs. More than half a hectare of amenities will be managed by Ayala Land Hospitality, offering spaces for wellness, leisure, and social connection—very much like a private city club.
“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,” said ALP president Mike Jugo.
The project has already drawn strong interest, with about 25 percent of units sold since pre-selling began in June—close to P8 billion in sales. Buyers include young professionals, small families downsizing from exclusive subdivisions, and foreign investors, who can own up to 40 percent of the residences.
Laurean Residences appeals to people at different stages of life but with the same goal: to find a home that combines comfort, design, and convenience in one of the country’s busiest business districts.
“It’s not just about square meters. It’s about the lifestyle—the sense of community, the architecture, and the landscape—that truly defines luxury living,” Lopez-Vito stated.
