ARTHALAND and National University Unveil Green Building Training Program: Shaping Future Sustainable Architects
July 14, 2023
ARTHALAND celebrated a major milestone for Una Apartments, the country's first multi-certified mid-market residential development in Biñan, Laguna, with a topping-off ceremony for Tower 1. Una Apartments offers a living experience that is One Step Above with its host of sustainable and wellness features, exceptional quality, and superior design. It makes owning a multi-certified sustainable condominium within reach, representing ARTHALAND’s goal to bring its brand of unique, best-in-class properties to a much broader market.
“Access to world-class, sustainable products should be for everyone and should not be limited to the luxury and upscale market segments. In executing our plans to enter the mid-market segment, we ensure that we maintain our leadership presence and that we design our product offerings with the same quality and sustainability standards for which Arthaland is known for,” said Jaime C. González, ARTHALAND Vice Chairman and President.
The structural topping-off of Tower 1 signifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, value-for-money sustainable homes to our clients on schedule. As earlier promised, Una Apartments Tower 1 will be completely built and ready for turnover by the fourth quarter of 2026.
“We are proud to announce that Tower 1 was sold out within the first 10 months indicating very strong demand from the mid-market segment. I am sure all those who have invested in Una Apartments will be delighted to learn about this major construction milestone and can already foresee themselves living One Step Above in the near future,” said Christopher G. Narciso, ARTHALAND Executive Vice-president.
Una Apartments offers Studio and One-bedroom units that are more spacious with its high floor-to-ceiling height of 2.6 meters. Units are equipped with energy-efficient air-conditioning systems, energy-efficient lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures, which offer residents water and energy savings by as much as 20%. Each has operable windows that provide natural ventilation and optimize natural daylight, and all units are airtight to prevent sound and odor transfer between walls. The Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) assures good indoor air quality with commercial-grade MERV filters and the presence of a Carbon Monoxide Monitor. The floors are made with Stone Polymer Composite (SPC), the latest innovative material in the flooring industry. With SPC Flooring, floors are more durable, water and scratch-resistant, and easier to clean. And you also get a fantastic view of this sustainable community made up of 60 percent green and open spaces as all units have their own balcony. As with other ARTHALAND developments, Una Apartments will have its own Potager Garden where residents can access healthy and organic produce.
“With the success of Tower 1, we have started selling Tower 2 which is also experiencing very strong demand. Interested buyers should check out the government’s BALAI BERDE program to avail themselves of low-interest loans specifically for green-certified projects like Una Apartments. You may loan up to 90% of the appraised value not exceeding Php 6 million with a low fixed interest rate (as low as 3.0%) for as long as a 30-year loan term,” said Oliver Chan, ARTHALAND Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.
Una Apartments is part of the 8.1-hectare master-planned community of Sevina Park. Sevina Park holds the distinction of being the first and only development in Southeast Asia to achieve Platinum certification under the LEED for Neighborhood Development and LEED for Homes categories and the very first to receive the BERDE Districts 5-Star rating. Easily accessible via the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) and in close proximity to popular schools, medical institutions, and industrial estates, Sevina Park is envisioned to become a sustainable, close-knit community that lowers global carbon emissions, improves air quality, reduces electricity and water bills, and provides an environment for happier and healthier residents.
Una Apartments Tower 1 is scheduled for completion by the fourth quarter of 2026. It is on-track to achieve LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the U.S. Green Building Council, WELLTM (WELL Building Standard), EDGE® (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), and BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) certifications.
ARTHALAND is the only real estate developer in the Philippines with a residential and commercial portfolio 100 percent certified as sustainable by local and global organizations. It has made its mark in the Philippine real estate industry by pioneering the development and management of exceptional best-in-class properties that adhere to international and local standards.
