AppleOne Group, a trailblazer in the VisMin region with internationally acclaimed developments like The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort and Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, is committed to innovation and continues to develop in the property development industry.
Mahi Center is AppleOne’s first mixed-use development designed by Philippine renowned architects ArchiGlobal as a gateway to the Mactan Economic Zone. It is an architectural marvel comprising a five-story office tower that will seamlessly integrate IT facilities, meticulously designed office spaces for companies and BPOs to cater to the demand for more employment opportunities in Cebu, and commercial and retail ventures. Strategically situated in the Mactan Economic Zone and near the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, Mahi Center stands as AppleOne’s pioneering venture into Lapu-Lapu City’s thriving IT sector. It will offer direct access to the boutique shopping mall that will feature a well-curated retail experience with local and foreign brands to satisfy the different needs of the communities and businesses within the area, a major supermarket chain, coffee shops, and anchor food brands.
The center will also have Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, a 9-floor premier global business hotel with 196 rooms for occupancy, 3 meeting rooms and 1 function room operated by the world’s largest operator of hotels, Marriott International. The hotel will cater to the influx of vacation and business travelers, designed to deliver an inviting and effortless experience for guests.
ABOUT THE DESIGN
Mahi Center, a development in Cebu Mactan, is a coral-inspired complex with a high atrium and glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) floors. The complex features landscape areas for a connection to nature. The design prioritizes sustainability, avoiding solar heat gain and using materials like double-glazed windows, low-flow bathroom fixtures, and energy-efficient equipment to reduce water and energy consumption. The landscape includes native or naturalized trees and shrubs to minimize water and maintenance requirements.
Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan’s design exudes a calm aesthetic with warm color palettes and a simple philosophy that speaks of balance and harmony. The use of natural materials and color tones emphasizes a strong outdoor and indoor connection, a tribute to the brand’s origins. The front desk serves as 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 and connect with others. Guests can expect a harmonious balance of functionality, comfort, and enriching décor in natural materials and carefully selected amenities.
