The Currency: Set to Redefine Work, Play and Live

"Yes, we are in full swing. The Currency is in full swing." Those are the words uttered by Beth Kalaw, Division Head of  Vista Residences Inc. - High Rise Division, during the mini bloggers conference they hosted for the The Currency, Vista Residences Inc.'s newest offering in the very heart of the business district of Ortigas.

A BCI Asia 2011 awardee, The Currency is set to change the game in the "work-play-live" industry by giving and setting a world-class standard suit for homeowners' needs and wants. Standing along the gleaming office towers of the prestigious business district of Ortigas, The Currency is ready to offer a 36-floor architectural breath-taker that offers a myriad of leisure opportunities

Destined to become a landmark with its glass-clad tower that expresses itself into two wings (one for the residences, the other for the offices), The Currency, is sitting on 2,015 square meters of precious real estate. Boasts in the center of everything: right in the corners of Ortigas’ most famous streets, namely Dona Julia Vargas Avenue, F. Ortigas Jr. Avenue (formerly Emerald Ave) and Garnet Road, it is a prime location which is indeed ideal not only for place to work in and live in but to invest in too.

The Currency places corporate and residential spaces in separate wings to safeguard privacy and address the distinct needs of the users. Each wing has its own grand lobby inducing the feeling of contemporary luxury and is serviced by three high-speed elevators to ascertain the comfort of both the residents and corporate tenants. And as for the amenities, the corporate tenants can enjoy fine-dining experience in their own restaurant, while residents can keep fit in a gym and luxuriate in a swimming pool.

As for the space cuts, The Currency offers prime office spaces to be flexibly designed and configured based on the needs of the employees and the ease of transport for materials and supplies. These corporate units are the best for young entrepreneurs who want to inflect their company with the prestige of a financial district address as well as established businessmen who see locating their operations in Ortigas as a viable, worthwhile investment.

On the other hand, the residential units are classified into studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units that can accommodate the fast-paced lifestyle of their owners. Targeting the young executives who want to dispense of travel time and allocate the precious hours to more important details, foreign expats who want to enjoy the conveniences of a highly-urban community and even Filipino professionals working abroad who invest in for rental or future sales prospects, The Currency is newest and best choice now here in Ortigas.

And for the benefit of both corporate and residential, vital amenities such as the podium and basement parking, round-the-clock security, CCTV system and powerful standby generators come handy.

Wendy Waterhouse, The Currency Project Head shared to us that as soon as the units are turned over to the unit owners, full-time building administrators will assume the management and operation of the building to maintain its luxurious and exclusive identity.

With the addition of The Currency to this prime location, the play in the work-live balance with its accessibility to a wide array of dining, shopping and leisure opportunities are definitely a luxury worth living in and working for. And as for the unit owners who are also parents, top-notch education through nearby schools is definitely an assurance that you are living towards the future.
