AYALA Land Premier, the luxury residential arm of Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), on Wednesday said that it had started construction of Laurean Residences in Makati, boosting its pipeline of high-end developments after the project generated about P10.4 billion in sales since its launch in 2025.
The groundbreaking marks the project’s transition into the execution phase, as demand for well-located and design-driven residences in established central business districts remains resilient within the premium segment, the company said.
Ayala Land Premier President Mike Jugo described Laurean Residences as a forward-looking model for refined urban living anchored on design quality and long-term location value.
“Laurean Residences was envisioned as an urban sanctuary in the heart of Makati. Today, we’re not just breaking ground — we’re opening a bold new chapter in refined urban living,” he said, citing the project’s deliberate planning and collaboration with international and local design experts.
Positioned as the flagship residential tower of Dela Rosa Gardens, a 1.3-hectare mixed-use district along Paseo de Roxas and Dela Rosa Street, Laurean Residences anchors a master plan that will also house the new headquarters of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and a 2,700-square-meter urban park.
Laurean Residences will offer a curated mix of units ranging from suites to four-bedroom homes, targeting professionals and multi-generational households seeking long-term residences in a prime Makati community.
For the project, Ayala Land Premier said that it assembled a collaborative design team that combines global expertise and local insight, including HB Design, Joyce Wang Studio, and Landscape Tectonix, alongside Filipino consultants.
The company said that the approach integrates international standards with the Philippine climate and cultural context to create a distinctive and enduring residential product.
It is envisioned as a template for future upscale urban formats that balance density, design integrity and long-term address value, while reinforcing its strategy of elevating product standards through global design partnerships and disciplined execution in core growth centers.
Ayala Land’s share price rose by 45 centavos, or 2.20 percent, to close at P20.95 each on Wednesday.
