The grand lobby of The Address at Wack Wack had its official launching recently with the Madrigal-Bayot Development Corporation (MBDC) board of directors and construction team in attendance. The double height-ceilinged lobby was finished using materials that can only be found in top-notch hotels. Upon entering the modern, New York hotel-inspired lobby, one is greeted by walls, two storys high, made of onyx marble and travertine imported from Turkey. The flooring is made of white volakas marble from Greece, accented with black marble from India — a fitting access to the upscale and elegant 32-storey residential condominium. The Address at Wack Wack in Mandaluyong City is the signature venture of MBDC led by its president Francisco Madrigal Bayot, Jr. and his son, MBDC vice president for marketing Francisco T. Bayot.
