Savya Financial Center fetes investors to celebrate the appointment of CBRE as leasing advisor

Savya Financial Center, Arthaland’s next generation sustainable Grade A office condominium in highly connected ARCA South, Taguig City, recently hosted an Investor’s Night in partnership with its new and exclusive landlord representative CBRE, the global leader in commercial real estate services and investment. The event provided a platform for investors to network and meet like-minded individuals, expand their knowledge about the latest trends in the property sector following a market outlook presentation by CBRE, and grow their investment portfolios starting with Savya Financial Center.

“Savya Financial Center will set the bar for doing business in the country’s newest Central Business District as it is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sustainable solutions that help create safe and more productive working environments thereby improving profitability,” said Cornelio S. Mapa Jr., Executive Vice President and Treasurer of Arthaland.

And to the delight of many of the investors, Group Manager Anidelle Joy M. Alguso of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), announced during her talk that the PEZA-accreditation of Savya Financial Center is underway. This will entitle qualified locators to many fiscal incentives such as income tax holidays, tax and duty-free imports and exemptions from certain government payments, among others. They are also entitled to non-fiscal incentives like simplified trade procedures, employment for foreign nationals and special visa privileges.

Savya Financial Center is also on-track for the pinnacle and most prestigious Level 3 EDGE certification. EDGE, which stands for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies, is a green building certification system by IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, focused on making buildings more resource efficient. Angelo Tan, the Country Lead for IFC World Bank Group's Climate Business in the Philippines, espoused the benefits of investing in an EDGE-certified building. EDGE is recognized globally by various disclosure platforms and can be incorporated into a company’s ESG strategy. It can also help companies quantitively interpret efficiencies, costs and savings and environmental impacts of locating in a green office and its focus on resource efficiency will directly contribute to operational savings. And lastly, EDGE uses bio-climatic modeling meaning it is location-specific and has climate and lifestyle data for thousands of cities.

“Savya Financial Center is not just about efficiency and boosting profitability but it also puts a premium on the well-being of its occupants. Our tenants and guests have marveled at the myriad of features meant to promote productivity and wellness,” said Anna B. Marco, Commercial Project Channel Director of Arthaland.

Among the features are operable windows and a MERV 13 air filtration system to promote good air quality. The building subscribes to contactless technologies such as the remote virtual concierge, touchless turnstiles, the use of semi-autonomous security surveillance robots, hands-free bathroom fixtures and RFID-operated elevators. As with other Arthaland developments, it has its own Potager Garden that make fresh, nutritious and organic produce easily accessible to the building’s occupants. And there are landscaped gardens at the bridgeway deck and breezeway where you can take a leisurely walk among all the greenery.

Savya Financial Center has been pre-certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification, and on-track for the Philippine Green Building Council’s BERDE Certification, International WELL Building Institute’s WELL™ Building Standard, and the International Finance Corporation’s Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE®) Advanced Certification.
