SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) continues to solidify its leadership in sustainable real estate as FiveE-com Center officially earns the prestigious LEED Gold certification for Operations and Maintenance (O+M).
The twin-tower, 15-story development located within the vibrant Mall of Asia Complex was awarded the certification under the LEED v4.1 O+M: Existing Buildings framework. This global benchmark assesses high-performance buildings on the basis of energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and best-in-class management practices.
Spanning over 93,000 square meters of gross leasable area, FiveE-com Center is designed to meet the evolving demands of modern enterprises. The building features massive 3,500-square-meter floor plates that allow for flexible, high-density office layouts without compromising on sustainability. “LEED Gold certification confirms that FiveE-com Center is not only operationally efficient but also responsive to what businesses now look for in office spaces,” said Alexis Ortiga, Vice President and Head of SM Offices.
The certification recognizes the building’s advanced technical infrastructure, which includes:
-
Real-Time Monitoring: Automated meter reading systems and digital dashboards track energy consumption as it happens.
-
Smart HVAC Systems: A centralized building management system adjusts cooling based on actual occupancy, while energy recovery ventilators ensure fresh air circulation while reducing power demand.
-
Biophilic Design: Landscaped decks, pocket gardens, and koi ponds are integrated throughout the towers to enhance employee productivity and mental well-being.
FiveE-com Center facilitates a greener lifestyle for its tenants by offering electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and dedicated bicycle facilities. Its strategic location provides covered walkway access to the SM Mall of Asia and major transport terminals, allowing employees to access retail, dining, and transit options without the need for additional car trips.
With the addition of FiveE-com Center, SM Prime now boasts six LEED Gold-certified office buildings across Metro Manila:
