The Rise at Monterrazas is a pioneer, the first of its kind in the Philippines.

Truly a project helmed by nature and crafted by design, The Rise at Monterrazas is an architectural landmark that will leave a significant and lasting mark to the architectural landscape of Cebu City.

The planning period of The Rise at Monterrazas was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its onslaught influenced the need to have a patch of green, a connection to nature in our homes — which various studies and anecdotal evidence support the positive impact that nature and outdoor spaces can have on our psychological well-being.

Elevating the typical condominium concept, the expansive outdoor space is designed to be a space for commune with one’s self, with family, with friends and with nature.

Conceived to foster innovation and redefine norms, these design innovations will pave the way for a new concept of modern living – answering one of the basic human needs for a forever home yet reinventing traditions of how we live:

Trailblazing Commitment: As the pioneer high-end residential project in Cebu City pursuing a 5-Star BERDE Certification— a green building rating system that measures, verifies, and monitors the performance of buildings above and beyond existing mandatory building and environmental regulations and standards.
It demonstrates a groundbreaking commitment to sustainability within the region. This project sets a precedent for luxurious developments to prioritize environmental responsibility, acting as an inspiration for future endeavors.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: Through an aim towards TR-03 (Preferred Parking) compliance, the project distinguishes itself by offering a forward-thinking infrastructure plan. By ensuring that all parking slots have provisions for electric cars, it not only anticipates the future demands of eco-conscious residents but also actively contributes to reducing carbon emissions, setting a new standard for high-end developments in Cebu.

Community-Centric Development: With a pursuit to CE-01 standards – the project aims to establish a community facility shared within the development. This initiative emphasizes a dedication to fostering a sense of community and social interaction among residents. By prioritizing a shared space designed for collective use, it enhances the overall livability of the development, promoting social cohesion and a sustainable lifestyle among its intended users.

It’s tuned to cater to the local context, ensuring that buildings constructed under its guidelines are specifically optimized for the Philippines’ environment and needs.
