Greenhills Christmas on Display 2016 celebrates Ortigas & Co.’s 85th year
Ortigas & Co.’s 85 years comes to fore this year in Greenhills Shopping Center’s Christmas on Display (COD). With the theme “One Life. One Story. One Fairytale.”, the annual yuletide spectacle highlights the premier property developer’s legacy of building great places for life.
The montage, which has become the traditional holiday go-to not only of Filipino families, but also of foreigners, and those coming from the provinces is made grander and more magical this year as Ortigas & Co. marks its 85th anniversary.
“It has always been Ortigas & Co.’s desire to enhance Filipinos’ lives. For the past 85 years, we have endeavored to design developments that evolve with Filipinos’ needs and make us an integral part of their life stories, including creating a Christmas wonderland that will bring families together and children will remember forever,” says Ortigas & Co. President and CEO Jaime Ysmael.
Building for life
This year’s COD focuses on Ortigas & Co.’s legacy, and how it has defined the Philippine urban landscape. The fascinating show highlights Ortigas & Co.’s destinations and developments that bring families and friends together, and enrich people’s experiences.
“Over the years, our developments Greenhills Shopping Center, Capitol Commons, Frontera Verde, and Circulo Verde have seen Filipinos share common experiences of work, leisure, and life. This COD is our gift to all, and our way to celebrate our milestone anniversary with everyone,” Ysmael adds.
