ARTHALAND, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) Pte. Ltd., introduces Sondris, a premium green residential development rising along Arnaiz Avenue, Makati. Designed with meticulous intention and influenced by Japanese sensibilities, Sondris brings together refined architecture, wellness, and environmental stewardship to establish a new standard for elevated urban living.
Sondris is the result of a landmark joint venture between ARTHALAND, through its subsidiary Zileya Land Development Corporation, and Mitsui Fudosan (Asia), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., one of Japan's largest real estate companies and a publicly traded company with approximately $62 billion (¥9.8 trillion, as of Dec. 2024) in assets. Mitsui Fudosan has pursued mixed-use neighborhood creation that integrates office buildings, retail facilities, logistics, hotels/resorts, and residentials across various areas in Japan. Mitsui Fudosan’s area of operations is not only in Japan; the Mitsui Fudosan Group has been conducting business in major cities in North America, Europe, China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia, and India. The Group is continuously pursuing the business expansion through driving the evolution of neighborhood creation.
Together, they bring shared values centered on sustainability, green building excellence, and long-term value creation. ARTHALAND leads the project’s development and operations, while Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) contributes global expertise in design, property development, and value preservation.
“We are truly honored to partner with ARTHALAND on this exceptional project. We are highly selective about the developments we choose to invest in, and our participation reflects our firm belief in the strengths, vision, and high standards of this project. It also underscores our confidence in the Philippine market and our long-term commitment to contributing meaningfully and responsibly to the country’s growth,” said Tan Yan Fen, Deputy General Manager of Mitsui Fudosan (Asia).
The 37-story tower presents 252 thoughtfully crafted residences, each designed to maximize natural light, ventilation, and comfort. It features a low-density layout of 6 to 10 units per floor. Prospective homeowners may choose from four unit types ranging from 46–61 sqm one-bedroom units, 91–114 sqm two-bedroom units, 135–137 sqm three-bedroom units, and the expansive Garden units that are 180–230 sqm in size. Beginning with the two-bedroom units and extending to all larger residences, the Sun Room will be offered as a new feature, transforming standard balconies into intimate spaces designed exclusively for privacy, sunlight, and renewal.
Each residence serves as a personal urban canvas, with interior design options that allow homeowners to express their individual style with ease. Buyers may select from three distinct themes: Timeless and Transitional, Modern and Industrial, and Formal and Serene.
- Timeless and Transitional — Conceived as a warm, timeless interior that feels calm, welcoming, and refined. Rather than relying on bold colors, this light scheme uses layered neutrals, natural textures, and soft lighting to create visual continuity ideal for a space that will age beautifully over time.
- Modern and Industrial — Designed for those who prefer a clean, contemporary, and city-inspired aesthetic. This grey scheme highlights contrast and architectural clarity, creating a space that feels structured and purposeful. It is lighter in tone but stronger in character.
- Formal and Serene — Drawn to depth, richness, and a sophisticated atmosphere. By embracing darker tones and layered materials, this scheme creates a grounded, deeply comfortable environment. It is a private retreat to unwind, entertain selectively, and enjoy a sense of calm.
Beyond its residences, Sondris offers an exclusive vantage point, commanding unobstructed views of San Lorenzo Village and the Makati skyline. From this remarkable setting, residents enjoy a daily panorama that captures both the quiet greenery of one of Makati’s most prestigious enclaves and the dynamic energy of its iconic cityscape.
Complementing these exceptional views is Sondris’ strategic location in Makati. With immediate access to EDSA and the Skyway, residents are seamlessly connected to key business and lifestyle districts across Metro Manila. The surrounding neighborhood is rich in cultural and lifestyle destinations, including museums, art houses, shopping centers, dining hubs, and entertainment venues. As the Philippines’ unrivaled financial and business capital, Makati offers world-class offices, premier educational institutions, leading hospitals, parks, and integrated transport networks that make Sondris a prime residential choice for discerning homeowners and investors alike.
“Sondris, which is a coined name rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the presence of living fully in a space, embodies our commitment to creating a home that puts people, wellness, and sustainability at the center,” said Oliver L. Chan, Executive Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer of ARTHALAND.
The development integrates essential sustainability and wellness features that significantly reduce environmental impact while enhancing everyday comfort. It features an efficient building envelope with double-glazed windows and energy-efficient air-conditioning and lighting systems designed to lower energy consumption by at least 40 percent. Low-flow plumbing fixtures will enable residents to achieve at least 20 percent water savings.
Indoor air quality is prioritized through a comprehensive system that optimizes ventilation, filtration, and pollutant control. A Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) continuously supplies fresh, filtered air while managing humidity to promote thermal comfort, while carbon monoxide monitors actively track pollutant levels to ensure consistently healthy indoor air. Natural ventilation is maximized through operable windows, and airtight unit construction minimizes sound and odor transmission, enhancing acoustic performance and indoor air quality.
Seamlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor openness, Sondris lets life in through thoughtfully designed amenities that nurture relaxation, vitality, and connection. Residents can restore and recharge in the 25-meter heated saltwater lap and leisure pool, fitness center, and steam and sauna rooms, or unwind in elevated spaces such as the Sky Terrace and landscaped roof deck, where natural light, fresh air, and greenery create a sense of calm above the city. The Potager Garden encourages sustainable living through homegrown organic produce, while children’s play areas and a ground-floor retail promenade with al fresco dining foster everyday ease and community. Designed for modern, future-ready lifestyles, Sondris also features bike-friendly elevator and pathways, provisions for electric vehicle charging, and a dedicated parcel delivery area.
As with other ARTHALAND developments, Sondris is targeting the stringent sustainability and wellness standards from leading local and global organizations. The project aims to achieve multi-certification, including LEED® from the U.S. Green Building Council®, WELL™ from the International WELL Building Institute™, EDGE, an innovation of the International Finance Corporation, and BERDE from the Philippine Green Building Council.
The official launch carried the theme “Life in Perfect Balance,” inviting guests to experience firsthand the harmony of sustainability, wellness, urban sophistication, and intentional living that defines the development. The event featured immersive experiential zones dedicated to sustainability, wellness, and the Makati lifestyle, along with a CWC Interiors exhibition showcasing the three design packages allowing attendees to envision how each residence can be tailored to their personal aesthetic.
Project turnover is scheduled for April 2030. For more information about ARTHALAND and Sondris, you may call +63 917 772 7842, e-mail ask@arthaland.com, or visit www.arthaland.com/properties/sondris.
