Acqua Private Residences




Acqua will rise in a 2.4-hectare prime property located right across Rockwell Center in Makati and easily accessible (by car or by foot) via a newly-constructed bridge (Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge) that traverses the Pasig River connecting Mandaluyong City to Rockwell Center in Makati City. The property is centrally located and provides the ultimate convenience to its residents with short travel distances to the Makati CBD, Fort Bonifacio, Mandaluyong City and Ortigas Center.




Acqua Private Residences is inspired by water, which is expressed in the building design and amenities. It is intended to be a self-contained development and a “residential eden”. Unlike any other project that has come before it, Acqua’s masterplan allots twice the size of its land area to open space, amenities and greenery, spread throughout the buildings, roof gardens and amenity areas. Conceptualized by Century Properties with the London-based award-winning design firm Broadway Malyan, its unique riverside location provides a picture of how its surrounding environs will be revitalized in the coming years.



Acqua will have its central amenity called “The Pebble” – a 3,000 sqm exclusive Country Club for residents by the riverside, which will offer a variety of wellness and recreational activities. It will also have a 300-meter long “Riverwalk Promenade” which shall host an array of restaurants, boutiques and cafes. Acqua will have amenities such as Grand Lobby, Lounge Area, Juice Bar, Cafe, Spa, Jacuzzi, Gym (cardio, weights & trx training), multi-purpose studios for dance, yoga & Pilates, Wall Climbing, Cycling & Boxing studio, Basketball/Tennis Court, 25-meter Glass Lap Pool and Lagoon Pool.



“The Pebble” is Acqua’s central amenity structure and the visual focal point of the entire developement. It is a gleaning white.odern interpretation of a smooth river stone with a large cut in front providing an almost window-like vista and three (3) iconic waterfalls on the facade that seemingly flow into the mighty river. It’s the ideal venue where you can lounge, energize and plunge as it features futness club facilities such as a state-of-the-art total health, wellness and fitness center, a 25-meter glass lap pool, a lagoon pool, a basketball/tennis court, and juice bar.

A typical floor houses six (6) 2-bedroom units and eight (8) 1-bedroom units. Certain units may be combined to accommodate a bigger living space for growing families or young couples who are planning ahead.

Acqua offers a 4-year 0% interest payment with various payment term options. High discounts are also offered depending on your preferred payment term. And in order to serve a wider number of potential buyers, we are partnering with PAG-IBIG Fund to offer a longer paying period.
