About Astela Towers

The name Astela is derived from "aster" (Greek for star) combined with "stellar," expressing an environment where contemporary living takes the spotlight. The brochure positions the project as a residential community illuminated by arts, culture, and entertainment in the surrounding estate.

Tower 1 was designed by PRSP Architects, with structural engineering by SY^2 + Associates, interior-designed common areas by Design HQ (Hirayama + Quesada), and mechanical systems by DCCD Engineering Corporation. Project management and general contracting is handled by Makati Development Corp. (MDC), Ayala Land's own construction arm. Property management will be by Ayala Property Management Corp. (APMC). The DHSUD provisional LTS number is 218.

Unit finishes include porcelain tiles (600x600mm) in living, dining, and kitchen areas; laminated wood flooring in bedrooms for one-bedroom units and above; and 300x600mm porcelain tiles on bathroom floors and walls. Solid-surface kitchen countertops and granite master bathroom counters are standard, along with laminated wood kitchen cabinets and closets. Partial glass balcony railings are provided. Each unit includes provisions for split-type air conditioning, telephone lines, CATV, fiber-to-the-home, and a multi-point water heater stub-out (except in the maid's bathroom).

The project owner is The Philippine Racing Club, Inc., with Alveo Land Corp. as developer.

Who it suits

Astela Tower 1 appeals to arts-minded buyers, young professionals, and those who value live music and performance venues as part of daily life. The low density (16 units per floor) and the 10th-floor amenity position it as a boutique community within a large urban estate. For OFW and diaspora buyers who want to be close to the Makati financial district while living in a more culturally animated neighbourhood, Circuit Makati offers a compelling alternative to standard CBD addresses. Investors seeking future-office adjacency may note that the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre, Contemporary Arts Museum (due 2027), and Moxy Hotel are within the estate.
