What is Portico?
Portico is Alveo Land’s first mixed-use high-rise residential
condominium development with a retail district in Pasig, straddling the
CBDs of Ortigas, Makati, and BGC.
Located in the midst of Ortigas, it breathes new life into the bustling
city by offering a unique urban courtyard living experience
characterized by generous courtyards and an uncompromised unit
experience.

With the development of other high-rise buildings in the vicinity of
Portico and considering that access roads are not along major
thoroughfares, will there be future traffic rehabilitation program
surrounding the development?
The local government has not released any information on the
rehabilitation of the access roads leading to Portico. However, Portico
Land will cooperate with the LGU on any traffic management measures
that will be contemplated.
In addition, the overall intent of the masterplan provides that vehicular
access into and out of Portico through Capt. Javier St. and Oranbo Dr.
will be straightforward via intercept ramps that lead to an integrated
basement parking system in order to avoid vehicle queueing at street
level and to prevent traffic build-up in the area.

How will traffic congestion be addressed with the development of
Capitol Commons? Can the volume of vehicles when all buildings are
built up be contained in the small roads surrounding Portico?
In addition to the several entry points into the development, traffic
congestion may be managed through the variety of access points to
and from Portico:
• Capt. Javier St. is a four-lane road that connects Pasig Blvd. and
Meralco Ave.
• Pass-through from the Ortigas area to Shaw Blvd. has shifted to
Capitol Commons, easing traffic along Oranbo Dr.
• Access to and from C5 to Portico may also be through: (1) Lanuza
St., (2) St. Martin St., 3) Canley Road, and (4) Shaw Blvd.

How will traffic congestion be addressed with the development of
Capitol Commons? Can the volume of vehicles when all buildings are

Will there be road widening of Oranbo?
At the moment, there seems to be no leeway for further widening
Oranbo Dr. as both sides are currently built up. For the stretch of
Portico along Oranbo Dr., a drop-off will be provided along the retail
entrance to avoid vehicular congestion.

How will the increasing density of the area be addressed?
Portico was envisioned and masterplanned to provide a breath of fresh
air amidst the growing metropolis of Ortigas. Despite a zoning
clearance to allow a maximum FAR of 10, Portico was purposely
planned to have a lower density at an FAR of 6 in order to afford its
residents an oasis from the surrounding dense city environment.

Is there a factory beside Portico that employs big delivery trucks? What
business are they engaged in and are their products hazardous to
health?
There is no factory located within the immediate vicinity of Portico.
Portico is surrounded by residential subdivisions, condominium
buildings as well as small automotive service shops, retail
establishments and institutions. The city government of Pasig will not
allow an establishment to operate if it is hazardous to the health of the
community. In addition, current zoning prohibits industrial use.

Where is the entrance to the Retail shops? Will it be separate from the
residential?
Portico will provide entrances to the Retail Area and Residential Zone
coming from Oranbo Dr. and Capt. Javier St. The residential enclave will
be gated coming from the Retail Area to ensure security for the
residents while providing ease of access to the Retail shops.
In addition, the Residential Area will have its own private access into
the development along Oranbo Dr.

elevations on the ground level in order to provide an interesting
landscape and pedestrian experience.

elevators in the respective towers may also be used by the townhouse
residents.
There will be no vehicular access or parking on the ground level. The

How will concerns on proximity to the fault line be addressed? How far is
the site from the West Valley Fault (WVF)? Is the site safe for
development of high-rise condominiums?
The site is located approx. 280 meters away from the surface trace of the WVF. Underneath
the earth’s surface, the WVF dips further East. An earthquake’s seismic source is typically
where the fault line is at least 10 kilometers below the earth’s surface. If the WVF causes an
earhthquake, its epicenter would be more than 2 kilometers away from the site.
In addition, the structural design of the building follows a performance-based design (PBD)
approach which means that the structural integrity of the buildings is guaranteed over a
~2,475 year return period. This approach goes beyond the standard code-based design
practice that implies structural integrity over a ~50 year return period. Also, the
professional services of well-respected structural consultants Sy2 Structural Engineers (local)
and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT; international) have been contracted for the
structural design of Portico based on PBD. Moreover, the services of international firm Arup
shall also be contracted to perform a peer review in order to further strengthen the design
of Sy2 and AIT.
