The achievement underscores Anchor Land’s strategic expansion into the commercial office sector while reinforcing its commitment to shaping dynamic business destinations across key growth areas.

Attendees included CSCEC/Mega B Strait General Manager Chen Xiangzhong, JEES President Joven Espiritu, EDBBI Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Eric Buenviaje, New Touchstone General Manager Scott Snyder Su, as well as ASYA Design Founder and Principal Architect Albert Yu, Empire Designs Principal Interior Designer Mark Perez, and representatives from Arknet Incorporated.

The first and only premium corporate tower in Manila Chinatown

Quintin Paredes Street has long served as the commercial heart of Binondo, driving economic activity in Manila Chinatown. Its strategic location, connectivity, and proximity to established enterprises and prominent landmarks have made it one of the district’s most sought-after business addresses and a preferred destination for commerce and investment.

Today, this prized location is home to One Financial Center – the district’s first and only premium Grade-A corporate tower. Purpose-built for the evolving needs of modern enterprises, this development offers a future-ready workplace designed to support the growth of entrepreneurs, professionals, and organizations looking to establish their presence in the capital’s renowned center for trade.

One Financial Center features flexible spaces and solutions tailored to a wide range of occupiers, enabling startups and long-standing firms alike to scale, innovate, and thrive in a premium corporate environment.

With prime units available, this property is ideal for business owners looking to expand operations or establish their headquarters, as well as investors seeking a high-value commercial asset with strong leasing potential and long-term capital appreciation.

Each office ranges from 51.90 to 124.10 square meters and can easily be customized to suit specific business requirements – from floor plans, to workflows, and even branding. With just seven units per floor, the building maintains a low-density environment to ensure productivity and a premium workplace experience.

“One Financial Center reflects our commitment to modernizing Manila Chinatown’s business landscape and elevating it alongside other progressive central business districts,” shared Ventura. “The project was designed to support the next generation of entrepreneurs, with every element carefully planned to help them achieve their business objectives and long-term growth.”

Designed for efficiency and sustainability

Beyond its spacious and customizable offices, One Financial Center integrates a full suite of features that support operational efficiency. Ample parking allocations, a dedicated dropoff, and high speed elevators allow tenants to enter and navigate the property with ease, while fiber optic connectivity ensures uninterrupted internet access – a must for today’s firms that increasingly rely on online platforms for their operations.

Complementing these are sustainability-focused features, with double low e-glass walls incorporated to maintain improved indoor conditions that translate to lower energy consumption and a comfortable work setting.

Transforming Manila Chinatown for the next generation

Drawing from over 2 decades of expertise, Anchor Land deepens its commitment to serving one of the country’s most historic districts through developments like One Financial Center.

“Entrepreneurship has always been central to Manila Chinatown, and we fully intend to keep innovating real estate solutions that help the district’s homegrown businesses thrive,” shares Li. “Together with our trusted partners in construction and design, we remain committed to transforming the business landscape for the next generation of Filipino-Chinese entrepreneurs.”
