The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives in so many ways. It has brought to the forefront the importance of our health, not only physically but mentally as well. The real estate industry has taken this to heart and is now creating green and sustainable living spaces that Filipinos can call their own.
While the increased focus on green developments only became a trend as of late, Filinvest Land President Tristan Las Marias said Filinvest has been creating green communities for decades.
“The home is an important space for Filipino families. It is where bonds are strengthened, passions thrive, and families grow. This is the reason why here at Filinvest Land, we continuously strive to stay attuned to the changing needs and lifestyles of Filipinos as we grow our property portfolio to include residential subdivisions, resort-style mid-rise communities, and dynamic high-rise condominiums for a wide spectrum of the market from smart-value to high-end. Knowing that the way forward is green, Filinvest Land will continue crafting green communities for the better normal and beyond,” said Las Marias.
Dreams Built Green
This is where “Dreams Built Green” comes in, what Filinvest Land calls its long-term commitment to building green developments. This is where Filinvest champions sustainable, future-forward principles to ensure healthy and quality living for its communities as part of its mantra of building the Filipino dream.
“I believe that as one of the country’s most trusted developers, it is our responsibility to lead the Philippine real estate industry into going green. Bringing nature closer to our communities, prioritizing health and safety, as well as empowering our homeowners to lead productive lives are quintessential steps for a better normal,” added Las Marias.
Green
Filinvest Land’s development blueprint includes incorporating green spaces into its developments, bringing nature’s splendor closer to its communities. Most projects have parks with lush greens and breathtaking views among their priceless features. The property developer says it also honors the natural topography where its projects are built on such as rolling terrains, waterways, and forests.
One Oasis Cebu, an Asian-Balinese-inspired mid-rise condo community at the heart of uptown Mabolo district in Cebu, allows residents to enjoy a quiet respite amid verdant environs. This urban oasis boasts of lush greens and generous open spaces that promote a healthy lifestyle for those who choose to call it home. Some residents also get a visual treat with the refreshing views of the Cebu Country Club golf course from the comfort of their balconies.
Health
The physical and mental health of Filinvest Land’s residents is also a top priority. All of its residential communities feature leisure amenities such as swimming pools, clubhouses, jogging trails, and outdoor playgrounds that allow homeowners to lead an active lifestyle. With air quality being an important factor, all living spaces are built to allow cross-ventilation. Green and blue networks also form an integral part of the master plan such as tree-lined roads, bikeable or walkable sections, and carless streets. The company’s mid-rise buildings allot 60 to 70 percent open spaces and employ the Venti-lite technology which allows for natural light and fresh air to flow throughout the building.
Somerset Lane, an American New England themed community located in Tarlac City features modern and complete amenities that give residents the opportunity to indulge in healthy leisure activities. Somerset Lane’s range of amenities include a swimming pool, clubhouse, basketball court, gazebo, picnic hut, multi-purpose court, and children’s playground. These are complemented by gardens, parks, and play areas that dot the residential subdivision.
Life Tech
Filinvest Land wants to empower its residents to achieve their dreams and lead productive lives with living spaces designed for the needs of today and tomorrow. Its developments are work-from-home and wi-fi ready, equipped with fiber-optics, and telco serviced. Units are spacious, with no obstructive beams or columns, allowing homeowners to fully utilize the area. Ease and convenience come unparalleled with developments that are centrally located and accessible to daily essentials. Transit-oriented developments also promise easy comings and goings. The company’s mixed-use complexes combine living, leisure, and commercial spaces to put everything just an elevator ride away.
Verde Spatial, a smart-value condo development that features spacious units, breathable open spaces, and a range of amenities, enjoys a convenient and strategic location along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City where everyday essentials, like malls, universities, and business hubs are within easy reach. Verde Spatial is also right along the path of the ongoing MRT-7 line with only a short walk away from the planned Doña Carmen station. With its name derived from the Spanish word for green, Verde Spatial features modern minimalist architecture with nature-inspired accents that reflect the fresh vibe of the nearby La Mesa Ecopark. It offers smartly-designed studio units fit for students and yuppies as well as two-bedroom units apt for growing families.
Conscious long-term effort
Filinvest Land’s green development thrust is one of its long-term strategies to continue growing as one of the country’s leading developers. This can be seen across Filinvest Land’s three residential brands – the smart-value Futura by Filinvest, the middle-income Aspire by Filinvest, and the high-end Prestige by Filinvest – totaling over 250 ongoing projects in over 50 key areas nationwide.
It is no wonder that Filinvest Land is a 10-time BCI Asia Awardee as one of the country’s top 10 developers. It was also recently recognized by Dot Property Awards 2022 as the Best Developer in North Luzon and Mindanao for two years in a row. Adding to its accolades is the Best Developer in Visayas Award. The property developer also received Highly Commended recognitions from The Outlook Property Awards 2022 by Lamudi for the Best Developer for Luzon and Best Developer for Visayas and Mindanao.
Las Marias adds, “Filinvest Land adapts to the changing times. In doing so, we always keep Filipino families in mind as we strive to create their dream homes nationwide. While we have made great strides in creating green communities throughout our over 50 years of experience, it is our goal to be at the forefront of this movement and bring Dreams Built Green to more Filipinos across the archipelago.”
