SM Prime Holdings Inc. said its FourE-com Center office building in the Mall of Asia complex is now open for business.
“We are expanding our office portfolio on the back of our growth momentum and optimism on the continued recovery of the real estate industry. This is supported by return-to-office policies, take-up of office spaces driven by e-commerce, BPOs (business process outsourcing) and data centers, and demand for innovative and sustainable office solutions that necessitate growth in the real estate sector,” said Alexis Ortiga, SM Prime vice president for commercial properties group.
The latest Pre-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified office building of the company offers over 100,000 square meters of leasable area spread across three towers of 15 floors each.
“FourE-com boasts of a courtyard podium on the fifth floor, that is poised to become a premier dining destination. It is envisioned to carry a variety of mid- to high-end restaurants catering to diverse food cravings and entertainment. This sky garden also doubles as a communal plaza that promotes healthier living by providing a venue to respite and refresh one’s mind, while overlooking the majestic Manila Bay horizon,” the company said.
“Following on the heels of the E-Com Series of office buildings and other SM Prime properties, FourE-com Center is dedicated to optimizing business operations while minimizing the impact on the environment by integrating ESG-sensitive strategies from construction to operation,” it added.
SM Prime said the building’s sustainable design features include double-glazed glass curtain to allow natural light to permeate into office spaces, use of LED lighting, water-saving fixtures and aerators, pressure-operated escalators and recycled water for irrigation.
