Now a new generation has propelled the patrician clan to the vanguard of property development.<\/p>\n<p>JEG Tower @ One Acacia is the debut high-rise venture of JEG Development Corporation (JDC), the real estate enterprise by the descendants of business powerhouse Jose Esca\u00f1o Garcia.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-certified LEED Silver for core and shell, the grade A building represents a technological, sustainable leap for built spaces outside Manila. The 22-storey tower, designed by Casas Architects, recalls the Flatiron Building with its svelte profile, but with a diagonally slanting, tapered corner.<\/p>\n<p>When Marko Sarmiento, Jose\u2019s grandson and chief operating officer of JDC, performed strategic planning for the tower in 2015, vertical green building had not truly taken hold in Cebu yet. \u201cWe wanted to be known as the local developer that went green ahead of everybody else,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>But the family has had quite the headstart, business-wise. Founding patriarch Don Fernando Esca\u00f1o established in 1879 the enterprise Viuda y Hijos de F. Esca\u00f1o Incorporada, which would later subsume the power distribution utility Visayas Electric Company (VECO).<\/p>\n<p>JEG Tower @ One Acacia was built \u201cwith the Cebuano in mind,\u201d says Ayla Gomez, Sarmiento\u2019s cousin and brand manager at JDC. \u201cWe are mindful of our impact on the environment and to the future generations of Cebuanos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While JDC would not construct its first real estate project until 2004, the family has accumulated significant land holdings over the decades, including the tower site. The 1,697-square-metre lot at the corner of Archbishop Reyes Avenue and Acacia Street was sold to the family for around PHP10,000 (pre-inflation) in the early 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandmother loves telling this story,\u201d says Sarmiento of his forebear, Rosa Maria Garcia. \u201cShe and my great-grandmother (Se\u00f1ora Teresa Esca\u00f1o Garcia) purchased it back then, and they had to pay in cash. She keeps saying that she was so scared at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25231\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC1079.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC1079.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC1079-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC1079-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC1079-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tower site has transformed into a prime location since the 1950s and affords workers some eye-catching vistas of 21st-century Cebu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What had been \u201cworth nothing\u201d became a prime location close to Cebu Business Park. Enlisting Casas Architects, JDC developed onsite a low-rise strip mall, One Acacia Place, in the mid-2000s, with plans for vertical development in the next 10 years or so. \u201cWe wanted to learn the industry first,\u201d says Sarmiento.<\/p>\n<p>The North Carolina-educated executive presumed an intelligent, eco-conscious building would not pass muster with his elders at the JDC board. \u201cWe weren\u2019t sure how they would react to it because going green is a more modern idea,\u201d he says. \u201cBut they were very receptive to it because they knew we had to differentiate our product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JDC invested in \u201ca lot of resources to build the best workspace\u201d in Cebu, according to Stefan Garcia, estate and business development manager of JDC. With an estimated development value of $28m, JEG Tower @ One Acacia automates operations through a building management system (BMS), enabling landlords to control BMS-compatible equipment and fixtures from a computerised command centre.<\/p>\n<p>JEG Tower @ One Acacia has Mitsubishi destination-oriented allocation system (DOAS) elevators, cutting the wait in the lobby to under a minute. DOAS interfaces with the turnstiles, telling passengers which lifts to use upon key-in and eliminating the need to push buttons. JDC installed a fresh air ventilation system, too, preventing stale air from recirculating in the 17,935-sqm building. Operable windows let more clean air into the building.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We weren\u2019t sure how our elders would react to it because going green is a more modern idea. But they were very receptive to it because they knew we had to differentiate our product<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Claiming energy savings of at least 12%, the tower meets a bulk of its power requirements through Vivant Corporation, JDC\u2019s largest subsidiary. JDC also purchases power from Prism Energy, a joint venture between Vivant and leading renewable energy provider AboitizPower. Supplementing its reliance on the grid, JEG Tower @ One Acacia will be generating clean energy through rooftop photovoltaic panels from Vivant. \u201cWe feel that the solar aspect brings in a different dimension of power supply to the building,\u201d Sarmiento says.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25235\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25235\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JKU-3001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JKU-3001.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JKU-3001-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JKU-3001-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JKU-3001-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">JDC\u2019s Marko Sarmiento, Ayla Gomez and Stefan Garcia (left to right) help spearhead the next generation of smart, sustainable properties in the Philippines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rather than climate-control an entire floor, JDC cools multiple tenants at different rates through a flexible variable refrigerant volume (VRV) air-conditioning system. While \u201cnot the cheapest\u201d supplier of VRV ACs, Daikin, the originator of this technology, surpassed the energy ratings of competitors in JDC\u2019s technical evaluations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever savings we had, we were able to reallocate these to procure other technologies and equipment that we deemed would help the building be more up-to-date,\u201d Sarmiento says.<\/p>\n<p>Making a stronger LEED case for the US Green Building Council (USGBC), JDC used recycled scrapped rebars, concrete with recycled ash, and bamboo veneers. The tower fa\u00e7ade features a unitised curtain wall system, achieving 90% daylight views for occupants. Where it had to import materials, JDC opted for sustainably sourced options, like doors made of forest-certified timber from Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/pandemic-prompts-asian-cities-to-face-reality-and-push-for-a-low-carbon-resilient-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>More: Pandemic prompts Asian cities to face reality and push for a low-carbon, resilient future<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess more thought went into what materials we had to use,\u201d says Sarmiento. \u201cThere is flexibility on where you can outsource your materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twenty percent of the development makes way for foliage, including a 284-sqm rooftop garden garlanded with native plants and wraparound wood decking.
