Even with the rise of new business districts, Makati City firmly holds its ground as one of the Philippines’ most preeminent addresses.
It is, after all, a living portrait of the country’s progress—a financial, lifestyle, and cultural district that continues to be shaped by a dynamic, sustainable masterplan and an ongoing revitalization program.
Its central business district (CBD), in particular, touts exceptional connectivity, smart infrastructure, premium offices, as well as cultural and wellness hubs—not to mention upscale villages and key institutions that help you strike a healthy balance of lifestyle, work and wellness.
And when you need to unwind and recharge, art galleries, artisan markets, homegrown cafés, and serene, lush pocket parks are never too far.
No wonder it continues to be renowned for its prestige, economic clout, and cosmopolitan energy. Its balance of ambition, opportunity, creativity, and green calm draws businesses and residents to find their rightful place in such a vibrant city.
It’s this very allure that finds its ultimate expression at The Estate Makati—a landmark development that embodies everything that makes Makati CBD exceptional.
As the flagship development of SM Residences and Federal Land Inc., The Estate Makati crowns the final and most coveted parcel along Ayala Avenue’s Apartment Ridge. It’s the newest architectural landmark to rise on this storied site in over two decades, making it an investment opportunity unlike any other in Makati.
This up and coming high rise will allow you to stake your claim in this exclusive enclave, where you can expect well- appointed residences, exceptional finishes and amenities, and bespoke lifestyle services tailored to the most discerning homeowners.
To bring to life the partners’ vision for this prestigious luxury residential development, the joint venture tapped the legendary architect Norman Foster and his globally renowned design firm Foster + Partners, which is behind globally celebrated structures like the World Trade Center in Abu Dhabi, Reichstag Building in Berlin, HSBC Headquarters in Hong Kong, and Hearst Tower in New York, among others.
Soon, The Estate Makati will reach a new milestone, as it is set to top off within the quarter.
This means that its frame will soon stand at full height, providing buyers a more tangible proof of progress, greater confidence in the project’s pace, and a clearer preview of their future homes—particularly how The Estate Makati will embody architectural ingenuity and sophisticated living at its finest.
From its facade alone, you will already get a glimpse of a beautiful yet smart design philosophy at work: glass panels framed by deep horizontal fins that optimize natural ventilation and shade.
The Estate Makati—distinctly the first project of Foster + Partners in the Philippines—further boasts of a unique cruciform design that ensures privacy, convenience, and expansive city views. Because of this unique building design, all units are like corner units with 180 to 270 degree views of the Makati skyline. This will enhance the sense of spaciousness and openness in your unit, creating an environment that is conducive to relaxation and inspiration.
Step through the discreet, elevated driveway and you’ll be met with lush, sculpted landscaping that leads into impeccably curated interiors—bronze accents, marble floors, and stone detailing that set a tone of refined privacy.
Inside this iconic tower, 188 residences—including two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 150 sqm to 295 sqm, along with exceptional bi-level suites measuring up to 355 sqm—redefine luxury and space utilization.
Each residence will feature angular, double-glazed windows, offering both privacy and expansive views, alongside interiors thoughtfully designed to accommodate diverse lifestyles, from quiet relaxation to social entertainment. Structural innovations like column-free floorplates and double-slab construction will meanwhile deliver expansive, noise-insulated living spaces that owners can adapt to their evolving needs.
