An Urban Residential Rebirth

The La Gare Mixed Use Master Plan project is a dense urban 360,000 SM Mixed-Use Development masterplanned by Smallwood consisting of mainly Residential building. The expansive project also includes a 5-Star Hotel, 4-Star Hotel, Office and Retail components. The site is well situated in the Adia Ababa historical and central neighbourhood opposite the CBD and Government Precinct with direct access to a Metro station/line and main road frontage. The Retail area is an open-air mall for local products with an internal spine/area that creates a sense of community terminating at key design nodes within the project. Each residential cluster contains its own amenity areas adorned with open space and gardens.
