AFTER garnering an International Property Award in 2012 for Office Development, leading boutique office developer, The Net Group (TNG), has won yet again another award. Net Lima currently waves the banner for Best Development Marketing, which was garnered during the recent Asia Pacific Property Awards 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.
The Asia Pacific Property Awards is a subcategory of the International Property Awards, which celebrates “the highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real-estate industry.” Judged by a highly experienced team of professionals, the awards are split worldwide into nine regions.
The Net Group, the biggest office developer in Bonifacio Global City, was recognized for the marketing of its latest boutique office building, Net Lima on Fifth Avenue and 26th Street. The ground-breaking development is now the address of leading multinational companies as well as firms that run global in-house centers. It is positioned as a showcase of ecologically responsible “green” architecture representing the firm’s next generation of iconic and ecologically responsive buildings.
Net Lima further won media and public attention as the pilot project for the Philippines’s very own green building rating system, Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence, or Berde.
The Net Group has focused its efforts on the emerging Taguig business district. Founded and led by the entrepreneurial partners Jacques Dupasquier, TNG chairman, and Carlos Rufino, TNG president, the group pioneered the “boutique IT office building” concept in the country with its Net One Center, among the first office buildings in Bonifacio Global City.
Net One was soon followed by Net Square, Net Cube, Net Quad and Net Plaza. Net Lima is part of a three-building complex called Net Metropolis, which will include Net Park and Ascott Serviced Residences. Net Lima is the first to rise in the complex and the sixth in the series of intelligent office buildings owned by the group. The Net Group has outdone bigger property companies in Taguig’s highly preferred business district and owns 54.5 percent of gross leasable space in the area. For these achievements, The Net Group’s management was named in 2010 as the Entrepreneurship Team of the Year by the Asia CEO Awards.
Dupasquier, who came up with the boutique office concept in 1999, observed: “It is a great honor for us to be recognized by the International Property Awards for our work in Net Lima and other properties. We are also proud that Fortune 500 companies and prominent corporations call Net Lima and the other buildings in our portfolio their home.”
Rufino noted: “Net Lima is driven by our core social responsibility toward sustainable building practices. We have combined visionary design by Chad Oppenheim with key learnings on sustainability from the rollout of our first tranche of building developments. We will continue to implement our mission to be a sustainable and cutting-edge office developer in our succeeding projects.”
