The West Tower is already available for pre-selling, which is the closest tower to the retail and service establishments in the ground floor. Residents from The West Tower will also be the first to experience the Rockwell Lifestyle in Katipunan as it rises in 2021. The North Tower, containing the most amenities, is set to launch next year.
The Arton by Rockwell is Rockwell Land’s joint venture project with Japan’s largest real estate company, Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd. The joint venture, Mitsui’s first in the Philippines, was formally signed last July 2017.
