Quadruple A developer DMCI Project Developers, Inc. (DMCI-PDI) is expanding its portfolio with the development of One Fortis Plaza, an office building along Chino Roces Avenue in Makati City that will offer prime office spaces in one of Metro Manila's key business corridors. 

 

The project marks the company's entry into the office development segment, leveraging its established track record in residential development and deep roots in engineering and construction. 

 

One Fortis Plaza is located within the Makati Southwest Gateway, a redevelopment initiative of the City Government of Makati aimed at transforming a stretch of Chino Roces Avenue into a mixed-use district. With planned commercial, residential, and recreational developments, the area is expected to emerge as a key growth corridor that will attract businesses, investments, and new development opportunities.

Among the project's key advantages is its proximity to the MRT-3 Magallanes Station, which is about 300 meters away. The location reflects a growing preference among office occupiers for developments with convenient access to public transportation. A recent report by Colliers Philippines found that accessibility has become a primary consideration for companies when selecting office locations, with proximity to transit often taking precedence over factors such as cost and distance. 

 

The office development is located near the Makati Central Business District, BGC, NAIA, the Mall of Asia complex, and Aseana City. 

 

As accessibility becomes an increasingly important consideration among office occupiers, One Fortis Plaza is designed to address demand for prime office spaces located near major transportation links. 

 

"As more companies prioritize accessibility and convenience for their employees, we see a growing demand for office spaces located near major transportation hubs," said Dennis Yap, Vice President for Project Development. "With its proximity to the MRT-3 Magallanes Station and key business districts, One Fortis Plaza offers businesses a location that can help make daily commutes more convenient for employees while keeping businesses connected to major commercial centers."

One Fortis Plaza will rise on a 2,400-square-meter property and feature 17 floors with 15 office units, each offering an efficient 1,400-square-meter floor plate. Slated for occupancy by April 2028, the development will incorporate premium and sustainable building features, including a low-emissivity all-glass façade, eight high-speed elevators, and a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air-conditioning system. 

 

Also located within the office tower are a fitness gym and basketball court, shared amenities that will serve both locators and residents of DMCI Homes Exclusive's Fortis Residences, adding to the convenience of the mixed-use development. 

 

The project is also undergoing application for EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification, a green building standard that promotes resource efficiency in building design and operations. 

 

“One Fortis Plaza is built with the same commitment to quality construction, innovation, and engineering excellence that has defined our residential projects over the years,” Yap said. “Combined with its transit-oriented location, modern facilities, and premium amenities, the development offers locators prime office spaces and a workplace environment that stands out in the Makati office market.”
