As new coronavirus disease 2019 cases in the country continue to drop and quarantine restrictions ease, businesses are reevaluating their workplace strategies and preparing their physical offices for a safe and productive business operation in the next normal.
Greenfield Development Corp. (GDC)’s Greenfield Tower at the Mandaluyong central business district offers a physical work environment where occupants can feel safe and comfortable to work in the new normal and beyond.
Built within GDC’s 15-hectare future-ready urban community Greenfield District, the 28-storey Greenfield tower is in the middle of wide, green open spaces, much like a business park set-up.
Greenfield Tower’s advantageous location offers convenience, accessibility, and safety for employees. With its proximity to major thoroughfares, the office is highly accessible to both private and public transportation.
GDC has also implemented workplace health strategies to assure everyone’s safety when they go back to the office.
At Greenfield Tower, office spaces have high ceilings, a fresh air ducting system, and operable windows, which promote better air circulation. To further protect employees and guests during the pandemic, the management of Greenfield Tower has put in place several health and safety measures including temperature scanning for employees and guests, use of disinfectant mats at the Tower entrance, limiting the number of persons allowed inside the elevator, regular disinfection of restrooms, and round-the-clock security.
“While a virtual work set-up has been the trend since the pandemic happened, returning to a physical office is still the best option for many companies like outsourcing firms.
Greenfield Tower has the design and features that will allow people to comfortably work in offices again without having to worry about their physical and mental well-being,” said Duane A.X. Santos, executive vice president and general manager of GDC.
Designed mainly to suit the needs of business process outsourcing companies, the Greenfield Tower boasts of well-designed office spaces with reliable IT infrastructure. The typical floor plate is close to 2,500 square meters and about 3-meter ceiling height with a variable refrigerant flow air-conditioning system. The tower can accommodate 24/7 operations, owing to its 100 percent backup power from five units of 2000-kw capacity generator sets. The building also has five levels of basement parking for more than 500 vehicles.
Businesses, specifically offshore BPOs, will also benefit from the building’s future-ready, high-speed integrated fiber optic internet systems, which provide the digital connectivity essential in maintaining productivity at work. Greenfield Tower also provides reliable tech support to its tenants.
