Eton Properties Philippines received recognition for its Blakes Tower project in Makati City as "Best Mixed-Use Development" in the 2022 Carousell Property Awards.
"We are pleased to present the Best Mixed-Use Development award to Eton Properties' Blakes Tower for their exemplary efforts to fulfill the growing demands of Filipino home seekers. The mix of residential spaces and offices is well-designed for today's knowledge workers who value flexibility and agility — a testament to their passion and our aligned vision to provide every type of home for every Filipino," said Shine Resurreccion, Carousell Philippines' country representative.
Blakes Tower, within the Eton WestEnd Square in West Makati, brings together an exciting mix of especially curated property components. At 36-storeys, it has an office portion, alongside with residences for lease; capitalizing on the work-life integration that is very much relevant now with a pandemic recovery market. It has 11 office floors and 15 residential floors, the rest of the floors dedicated to amenities and parking.
Blakes Tower has small and flexible office units to keep up with the current market demand. “Businesses these days prefer small office spaces to save on office expenses like utilities, supplies, among others. With today’s hybrid business model of having a work-from-home arrangement and only essential departments having the need to report daily, shifting to a smaller office can significantly cut down costs for companies,” says Kyle Tan, Executive Director of Eton Properties.
With a residential component, Blakes Tower is in fact an ideal one-stop-shop for employers who would like to provide a safe residence for their employees within the same building of their workplace. Meeting, breakout rooms and recreational amenities would also be accessible for both Blakes Tower office workers and residents to promote productivity and make seamless work-life integration possible.
Blakes Tower is easily accessible through the LRT-1 train, public buses, jeepneys, cabs, and tricycles, with major commercial centers just a few minutes away. The Eton WestEnd Square development, where Blakes Tower is situated, also features eWestMall, which houses two floors of retail spaces, ensuring no shortage of different lifestyle options.
“We would like to thank Carousell Property Awards for the chance to showcase our mixed-use building, Blakes Tower; and for recognizing its potential, inventiveness and quality of work that we strive to deliver in all our developments. With this recognition, you have inspired us to raise the bar, and bring our company to greater heights,” says Tan.
This is the second time that Blakes Tower has received such recognition. The project was cited as highly-commended "Best Mixed-Use Development" in the 2021 Philippines Property Awards where Eton Properties was also given a Special Award in ESG for its Environment, Social, and Governance best practices.
