A tranquil cityscape

Mindful home rises in Ortigas, bringing balance, comfort, and Zen within reach

- RODMILL G. LOPEZ

Life in the metro comes with constant pressure, traffic, deadlines, and daily noise that wear you down. In Pasig City, The Grand Midori Ortigas offers a place to pause and reset, as Federal Land inaugurates the first tower of this development designed to support comfort, well-being, and mindful living.

The ceremony was led by Federal Land Chairman Alfred Ty, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, Pasig City Representative Congressman Roman Romulo, Federal Land Vice Chairman Thomas Mirasol, Metrobank Foundation Board Member Aniceto Sobrepeña, and Federal Land President Jose Mari Banzon.

Federal Land's first development in Pasig, The Grand Midori Ortigas, was envisioned as a modern Zen-inspired sanctuary along Exchange Road in Ortigas Center, offering a calm and balanced retreat after a long day. Designed by Tokyo-based Tange Associates—the acclaimed firm behind the Yoyogi Gymnasium and Tokyo Aquatics Center—the two-tower development draws from the principles of wabi-sabi and miyabi, embracing the beauty of imperfection and bringing timeless Japanese simplicity to city living through the use of natural materials.
