Eluria is a masterpiece of sustainable living in Makati

Written by: Kenneth M. del Rosario

In Makati’s ever-evolving landscape, where iconic developments continue to rise, one project stands out—not just for its exclusivity but for pushing the boundaries of sustainable living.

Eluria, a collaboration between ARTHALAND and ARCH Capital, is a rare gem even in the country’s most prime real estate district. With only 37 residences and a maximum of two units per floor, Eluria offers a level of privacy and personalization that is virtually unheard of in the city. “Eluria” is a coined word inspired by words elan, flourish, and allure, evoking the feeling of grandness, passion and enthusiasm, a true reflection of ARTHALAND’s commitment to excellence, sustainability, and a future-ready lifestyle.

Among its most coveted offerings is a five-bedroom garden residence spanning 579 sqm and occupying an entire floor—an ultra-rare feature in Makati’s high-rise market. With more than half of the units already sold, the project has quickly cemented itself as one of the most sought-after addresses in the country.

“We are shaping a future where one of the most exclusive addresses in Makati becomes a reality,” said Jaime C. González, ARTHALAND Vice Chairman and President, during his opening remarks at the “Journey to Completion” ceremony.
González emphasized Eluria’s completion and its alignment with Makati’s redevelopment plans, pointing to the development’s on-time structural topping off in November 2024.

“Eluria has garnered an excellent response from the market. With limited opportunities remaining, now is the perfect time to step into the Eluria lifestyle,” said Oliver Chan, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer ARTHALAND.

Unparalleled hospitality, convenience

One of Eluria’s most distinctive features is its personalized white-glove butler service, offered through internationally trained Hospitality Directors. From managing guest arrivals and handling parcel deliveries to booking restaurant reservations and even pet grooming, the level of service at Eluria mirrors that of a five-star hotel.

Adding to this convenience is the Valet Box, a secure, UV-sterilized storage unit for parcels, dry cleaning, and other deliveries. This feature ensures residents never have to worry about the security of their items, as they can be retrieved from a dedicated Service Area without disrupting privacy.

“Eluria is not just a residence; it is an experience that combines convenience, security, and service at an unprecedented level,” said Christopher Narciso, Executive Vice President of ARTHALAND.

Designed by renowned Australian architect Michael Banak, Eluria draws inspiration from the concept of a modern treehouse—where nature and urban sophistication meet. Its Bodhi tree-inspired logo symbolizes wisdom, growth, and tranquility, reinforcing the project’s philosophy beyond mere architectural aesthetics.

“This is the first building I’ve designed since starting my own firm in 2007, and I believe it’s the best project I’ve ever done,” said Banak, emphasizing his deep personal investment in the development.

The ceremonial gem box holds various gemstones—bloodstones, moonstones, carnelian stones, tiger’s eye stones, and rubies—each representing key milestones in Eluria’s journey. As these stones are poured into the box, they symbolize progress and honor the passion and craftsmanship behind Eluria. Together, they form part of a tree that reflects Eluria’s vision as a contemporary treehouse, blending the city’s energy with nature’s tranquility. The unveiling of this tree by the hospitality directors also highlights Eluria’s prestige white-glove butler service.

Each 288 sqm unit has been thoughtfully designed with an elongated layout, catering to Filipino lifestyles where families naturally gather around open kitchens and living spaces. Premium finishes and top-tier appliances—such as Sub-Zero refrigerators, Miele stoves and ovens, and under-counter wine coolers—come standard, ensuring an effortless blend of form and function.

At a time when green building practices are more crucial than ever, Eluria sets itself apart as one of the most premium green residences in the Philippines.  The development is pre-certified LEED Gold and registered for WELL, EDGE, and BERDE certifications, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint while maximizing residents’ well-being.

Among Eluria’s more notable sustainability features are optimized natural light to reduce energy consumption, double-glazed low-E glass windows, which cut heat intake by up to 40%, water harvesting and reuse systems, smart contactless technologies, pre-equipped EV charging parking spaces, and Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) systems for superior air quality.
“Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us—it’s a standard,” said Narciso, reinforcing ARTHALAND’s commitment to building green.

A rare investment opportunity

Priced between P150 million and P270 million, Eluria’s residences target a highly discerning clientele—end-users such as successful entrepreneurs, empty nesters, and next-generation business leaders. With its prime location along Rada St, Legaspi Village in Makati’s CBD, the development is positioned to appreciate as the district undergoes continuous redevelopment.

“With already  50% of units sold, Eluria represents not just a home but a legacy investment,” said Chan. As Eluria approaches handover in the last quarter of 2025, it stands as a monument to thoughtful design, sustainability, and the highest standards of living. More than just another residential tower, it is a vision of the future—where exclusivity, sustainability, and world-class hospitality converge to create a once-in-a-lifetime living experience.
