“We are proud to have delivered SOHO Central to our valued clients ahead of schedule. For this we have much to celebrate and thank for,” said John Victor R. Antonio.

The 886-unit condominium was the first residential building to rise as part of Greenfield’s planned 22-hectare mixed-use project in Mandaluyong called the Greenfield District. SOHO Central was originally scheduled for turnover in December 2009 for the Shaw Tower, and December 2010 for the Mayflower Tower.

With its early completion, unit turnover started in June 2009. SOHO Central has a total of 300 unit owners moved in to date.

Its amenities are now open for the use of residents, including the adult and children’s swimming pools, the fitness center with gym and aerobics areas, function/ meeting room with pantry, business center and homeowner’s lounge. Laundry services are available at the 41st floor while the Serenity Spa, which has steam bath and sauna areas, is now servicing residents at the fourth floor.

The project's walkway to the MRT Edsa Central Station is expected to open between October to December according to Greenfield Development.

The company also expects to open SOHO Central’s commercial areas at the first to third floors in the second half of 2010.
