This project will be its tallest residential development among its Visayas townships to date.

The 26-story Kensington Sky Garden will consist of two towers 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 aims to become an iconic landmark that will redefine Bacolod's growing skyline. Both towers will be highlighted by illuminated crowns that dazzle at night.

These illuminated crowns will also house the glass-clad sky lounges, allowing residents to enjoy panoramic views of the city, mountains, seas, and nearby islands.

Kensington Sky Garden features a unique design influenced by the Victorian era in New York, where The Upper East draws much of its inspiration.

Unit sizes range from Studio and Executive Studio (up to 40 square meters), One Bedroom (up to 56 square meters), Two Bedrooms (up to 90 square meters), to Three Bedrooms (up to 110 square meters). All units come with either a balcony or a lanai.

Each unit at Kensington Sky Garden will be equipped with a wireless smart home system and devices with WiFi routers that can be accessed remotely using a dedicated phone app, providing residents with comfort and convenience.

This technology allows residents to control various unit features, including lighting fixtures and smart appliances in the living, kitchen, dining areas, and bedrooms.

The second level will serve as the central amenity area for both towers, including an adult pool, kiddie pool, pool bar, landscaped areas, outdoor fitness area, children's play area, gazebo, reading nooks, fitness center, daycare center, game and entertainment room, private dining hall with its own bar and kitchen for intimate dining events, and a function room that can accommodate up to 126 persons in a banquet setting.

Additionally, there will be sky decks at the 14th and 26th levels of each tower and a shared outdoor sitting lounge at the 5th level.

Kensington Sky Garden's main lobby will feature a high-ceiling, Victorian-inspired design with patterned floorings, elaborate wall moldings, and the generous use of wood, steel, stones, and glass throughout the space.

The ground-level exterior will include several retail spaces, and two basement levels will be designated for parking.

An exceptional feature of this residential property is its own electric vehicle (EV) charging facility in its basement parking area, a first-of-its-kind in Bacolod City, preparing for the influx of electric and hybrid cars in the near future.
