Laurean Residences: A New Legacy in a Greener Makati
A new landmark is rising to offer a life of purposeful elegance. Ayala Land Premier’s Laurean Residences, a 65-story tower poised to redefine the Makati skyline, is more than just a luxury high-rise; it’s a statement on the future of urban living, a private in-city club designed for a new generation of leaders. The project proves that a commitment to legacy and a forward-thinking approach to wellness can create a truly exceptional living experience. More importantly, it stands as a key node in Ayala Land’s broader vision for a greener, more walkable, and sustainably interconnected Makati.
A Greener Future for the Central Business District
Laurean Residences is an integral part of Ayala Land’s ambitious transformation of the Makati Central Business District, anchoring a new vision for the city focused on expanding green spaces and enhancing pedestrian connectivity. This initiative, dubbed the “Emerald Network,” aims to seamlessly link the city’s parks and public areas—including the Ayala Triangle Gardens, Legazpi Active Park, and Washington SyCip Park—through lush, pedestrian-friendly corridors.
The revitalization of Dela Rosa Gardens, the 2,600-square-meter park at the doorstep of Laurean Residences, is a cornerstone of this plan. It is one of the first developments to bring this renewed vision to life, creating a verdant oasis that encourages low-impact mobility, reduces the urban heat island effect, and fosters a more livable, breathable city. This commitment extends to making the entire district more accessible, with projects like the Paseo de Roxas-Villar Underpass and an expanded network of elevated walkways and bike lanes. For residents of Laurean, this makes their home an urban sanctuary and a gateway to a city that prioritizes well-being and sustainable living.

The In-City Club Experience, Expanded
At the very heart of the Laurean Residences’ promise is an exclusive, in-city club lifestyle, a concept brought to life through over half a hectare of meticulously curated amenities managed by Ayala Land Hospitality. These spaces are designed not merely for recreation, but to foster a deep sense of community and holistic well-being. On the ground and podium levels, a resort-like atmosphere awaits, featuring a Garden Lanai and a Social Hall perfect for gatherings, alongside a suite of pools—including a lap pool for fitness enthusiasts, and leisure and kiddie pools for family enjoyment—creating a vibrant hub of activity and relaxation.
Ascending the tower reveals even more exclusive offerings. The 60th-floor Sky Garden presents a tranquil, high-altitude retreat complete with a Meditation Room for quiet contemplation. The experience culminates on the 66th and 67th floors, which are dedicated to the highest expressions of social and wellness pursuits. Here, residents can host intimate gatherings in the Wine Tasting Room or Private Dining area, enjoy a film in the private cinema, or conduct business in the well-appointed library and co-working spaces. The top floor is a sanctuary for wellness, featuring a state-of-the-art gym, dedicated yoga and Pilates studios, and a luxurious spa complete with treatment rooms and a serene plunge pool, offering a comprehensive wellness journey far above the city bustle.
A Symphony of Design and a Testament to Market Confidence
To realize this ambitious vision, Ayala Land Premier assembled a world-class team. The timeless architecture by HB Design, sophisticated interiors by the renowned Joyce Wang Studio, and integrated landscapes by Tectonix come together to create a harmonious and elegant environment. The residential spaces, from spacious suites to expansive bi-level villas, are finished with the highest quality materials and thoughtful details.

Laurean Residences, a new icon for Makati, is the embodiment of a greener, more connected, and profoundly more livable future.
