The 64-storey residential condominium, Royalton at Capitol Commons, was recently hailed as the best luxury condo development (Metro Manila) at recent Philippine Property Awards. The developer of this sinuously-designed development is Ortigas & Company. The curves were designed to maximize air ventilation, and serve not only as balconies, but also as shade from the afternoon sun, from where unit owners can look at views of the Sierra Madre mountain range, Laguna de Bay, or the Ortigas skyline. According to the 10-member judging panel led by JLL Philippines chairman Lindsay J. Orr, the tower – located in Ortigas’ 10-hectare mixed-used development along Meralco Avenue Ortigas Center, Pasig City – won for its strategic location, form, and functional angle.
