The 26-storey Kensington Sky Gardenwill be a two-tower residential development offering 643 ‘smart home’ units located at the corner of Upper East Avenue and Bentley Street, just across the newly-opened Landers Superstore.

This new Megaworld residential property is envisioned to be another iconic landmark that will redefine Bacolod’s growing skyline as both towers will be highlighted by illuminated crowns that dazzle at night. These illuminated crowns of both towers will also house the glass-clad sky lounges for residents to enjoy the panoramic views of the city, the mountains and seas, and the nearby islands.
