AppleOne's rising landmark in Mactan, Cebu, promises business and leisure experiences supporting the city's growing local tourism.
An upcoming business and lifestyle hub situated at the heart of Lapu-Lapu City, Mahi Center is being dubbed as a trailblazer in the property development industry in the Visayas-Mindanao region with internationally acclaimed developments under its belt: The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort and Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort.
Mahi Center is a five-story office tower that integrates IT facilities and meticulously designed office spaces for companies and BPOs, to cater to the demand for more employment opportunities in Cebu and commercial and retail ventures. It is strategically situated in the Mactan Economic Zone near the Mactan-Cebu International Airport.
Beyond aesthetics, its design places great importance on sustainability features. Building orientation to avoid solar heat gain was considered, as well as spaces with low occupant loads located in areas of the building where sun exposure could not be avoided.
Materials like double-glazed windows, low-flow bathroom fixtures and energy-efficient equipment were used to reduce water and energy consumption. The sustainability consideration extended to the development's landscape areas. Native or naturalized trees and shrubs were chosen to minimize the water and maintenance requirements.
As AppleOne's first mixed-use development designed by renowned architects ArchiGlobal, the development will offer direct access to the boutique shopping mall of well-curated local and foreign retail brands and supermarkets, coffee shops and anchor food brands.
Mahi Center will also have Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, a nine-floor premier global business hotel with 196 rooms for occupancy, three meeting rooms, and a function room. Its design exudes a calm, inviting aesthetic with warm color palettes and a smart, straightforward design philosophy of balance and harmony. The use of natural materials and color tones throughout emphasizes a solid outdoor and indoor connection and is a tribute to the brand's origins of the Fairfield Farm.
Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan's design takes inspiration from its natural surroundings, delivering the beauty of simplicity for guests who appreciate a calming and reliable atmosphere. The front desk is a focal point on arrival, facilitating a stress-free check-in. The welcoming lounge and public areas provide relaxed seating arrangements for guests to relax, meet, and connect with other travelers. Guests can expect a harmonious balance of functionality, comfort, and enriching décor in natural materials and carefully selected amenities.
