A sky-touched sanctuary: The Estate Makati rises along Apartment Ridge

A new luxury residence is poised to join Apartment Ridge as The Estate Makati reaches its full structural height

Makati has long been known as a city of vibrancy, from its award-winning restaurants, green spaces and boutiques situated throughout its shaded streets. To the discerning that call this place home, it is where life, career and passion intersect. The 60-storey The Estate Makati, thoughtfully located along Apartment Ridge, has reached its full structural height—bringing it one step closer to joining this beloved community.

A collaboration between SM Residences and Federal Land, Inc, one of The Estate Makati’s secrets lies in its cruciform structure, ensuring that each resident gains access to panoramic views of the city, natural light and ventilation. The exterior subtly interacts with sunlight at different times of day, transforming the structure into an artistic centrepiece.

 
Designed by London-based Foster + Partners, each feature is meant to elevate daily rhythm while maintaining an air of privacy and exclusivity, enhanced by private lift access for the convenience of residents. Column-free layouts remove barriers to customisation and actively encourage homeowners to redesign units as they see fit. Residents will also enjoy services that complement their modern routines, including concierge support and day-to-day coordination—reinforcing the sense of seamlessness and quiet comfort.

 
But its aesthetics do not diminish the thoughtful, careful engineering that lies underneath. The Philippines faces several environmental challenges, and The Estate Makati is built to withstand these conditions through advanced structural methodologies. The residential development underwent a comprehensive peer review, drawing on global ground motion records and simulations to assess its integrity against a range of earthquake scenarios, in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Philippine Structural Code.

 
The Estate Makati settles into the last parcel of land along Apartment Ridge, where some of the country’s most influential and established individuals reside, shaping business, culture and society. It is within and around this enclave that the full heartbeat of the city can be felt. Corporate offices, leisure destinations and retail locations are all within walking distance of each other, enabling a lifestyle that is mindful of our passions and ambitions. It is a grounded approach that does not forget the sophistication that has defined this community. The result is a luxury that is rare and deeply appreciated: a deep connection to the city and the calm of a private retreat.

 
As it pierces the skyline, The Estate Makati is set to change the way future generations live and reside in luxury within the city. It is a new chapter of permanence and distinction that will leave behind a lasting legacy of refined living.
