An industry trailblazer in Manila Chinatown, Anchor Land continues to raise the standards in property development by incorporating modern engineering and architectural design – staying true to its promise of providing innovative real estate offerings.
This is evident in its latest high-end condo primed to be the tallest in Binondo – One Legacy Grandsuites. Through a more detailed and meticulous structural study, this high-rise exquisitely weaves building resilience to its upscale aesthetics and amenities in order to deliver a luxury living experience like no other in the country.
Putting resident safety first, the preferred real estate developer in the trade district partnered with US-based MKA – a world-renowned and award-winning structural and civil engineering firm.
MKA has a notable expertise in using the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) method. PBSD is an advanced methodology that improves a building’s reliability while ensuring it is compliant with standard design criteria.
According to Sean C., one of the Principals at MKA, “PBSD results in higher reliability and confidence in building safety (during an earthquake). In order to demonstrate that design criteria are met, much more rigorous design and analysis is completed in order to examine realistic building behavior. A detailed computer simulation is used in which the building is subjected to ground motions of actual earthquakes that have occurred across the world, scaled to the level of intensity for the region being applied.”
“Using PBSD, we ensured that One Legacy Grandsuites, the tallest building in Manila Chinatown, is optimized for ground-shaking activities. Considering the building’s unique characteristics, we provided pertinent recommendations after demonstrating the anticipated behavior of the edifice in forecasted seismic activity.”
Along with advanced analytics, Anchor Land used MKA’s insights to improve construction details and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of One Legacy Grandsuites. By improving material usage and ratios, required concrete as well as sizes of beams, columns, and other reinforcements were significantly reduced – making it possible to fully maximize the property’s floor plan.
Highlighting heightened spatial experience while prioritizing safety, One Legacy Grandsuites is well-thought-out to stand the test of time. Anticipated to be the most luxurious home with the only automated unit features in Manila Chinatown, it is meant to be passed on to the next generations.
