Tweet

Golden Haven, a leader in memorial care services in the Philippines, celebrates the first anniversary of its pet crematorium this October 2024. Known for providing dignified memorial care to Filipino families, Golden Haven’s comprehensive services include memorial parks, columbariums, chapels, crematoriums, and mortuary services. Expanding into pet cremation, Golden Haven has now brought its compassionate approach to honoring beloved pets, making it the first memorial care provider in the country to venture into pet memorialization.

Golden Haven celebrates the first anniversary of its pet crematorium this October 2024, its compassionate approach to honoring beloved pets.

The pet crematorium journey began at Golden Haven’s flagship branch in Las Piñas, situated along the C5 Road Extension in Global South. As the initial site for this service, it established a warm, respectful environment where pet families could honor their departed fur babies with the same dignity and care that Golden Haven extends to human memorials. Within a year, the service has seen an overwhelming demand, underscoring the essential need for respectful and loving farewells for pets.

Golden Haven is the first memorial care provider in the country to venture into pet memorialization, through its Pet Crematorium.

Recognizing the importance of pet cremation for Filipino families, Golden Haven is launching new pet crematoriums across the nation by year’s end. This expansion ensures more communities can access these services, making it easier for families to honor their pets without the stress of traveling long distances. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’ve seen how vital it is to support families grieving their pets. Our aim is to provide comfort and closure while honoring pets in a dignified manner,” shares Ms. Analyn Anero, Division Head of Golden Haven Chapels and Crematorium.

The pet crematorium service also features thoughtful touches, including free pickup within a specific radius, and options for families to hold a viewing for their pets in a comforting, serene space. Pets are gently bathed and prepared with care, providing families a final, loving memory before their beloved pets cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Golden Haven’s seamless service network for pet cremation extends to partnerships with veterinary clinics, pet grooming providers, and pet accessory shops, creating a supportive community for pet parents. In line with its dedication to responsible pet parenting, Golden Haven even organizes an annual “Pawsome Day” event, celebrating the bond between families and pets—a tradition established even before launching its pet crematorium services.

In its commitment to compassionate service, Golden Haven also facilitates the donation of items left by fur parents, redistributing these belongings to animal welfare organizations. This thoughtful initiative, combined with affordable service options, underscores Golden Haven’s mission to support pet families across every step of their journey.

Golden Haven’s holistic approach to memorial care for both people and pets, combined with its continuous drive for innovation, further solidifies its status as the leader in the industry—a position that has earned it the title of the “Gold Standard in Memorial Care.” For more information about Golden Haven’s pet cremation services and other offerings, please visit www.goldenhaven.com.ph, reach out via social media, or contact 09998864176 / 09190790205.

Living high and living it up in Altafina by Vista Land

South Cotabato: Here, bounty and beauty come together

Perched majestically on the coastline that hugs Sarangani Bay, General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, exudes a more dynamic and progressive vibe. With an economy anchored primarily on the agriculture and fishing industries, GenSan, as it is affectionately called, also covers much ground in tourism. The land formerly known as Dadiangas, and now named for General Paulino Santos, who brought over Christians from Luzon and the Visayas to settle in the area, boasts the largest airport in Mindanao as well as the Makar Wharf, one of the country's most modern international seaports.

The city also earned itself the nickname Boom City of the South, owing to its vast exports and the influx of manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms. But despite the dynamic and future-think reputation, GenSan is loved for its many festivals that parade pride in their art and traditions and for some of the most exquisite scenery and beaches in the country.

In honor of the coastal location of GenSan, Vista Land, through its collection of master planned communities called Vista Estates, is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California. The striking similarities between these dynamic cities lend themselves to the master planning of a vibrant estate development in Southern Mindanao.

San Diego hugs the Pacific Ocean, while GenSan borders the picturesque Sarangani Bay. Both cities enjoy year-round warm weather and have flourishing fishing industries. They are also popular tourist destinations, offering incredible scenic beauty and recreational activities. San Diego is renowned for its beaches, parks, and museums, while GenSan is famous for white sand beaches, waterfalls, dive sites, and natural attractions. Interestingly, San Diego is known as the Tuna Capital of the World.

Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Enjoy the exhilaration of San Diego in Altafina

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up. It exudes the joy and fearlessness that the metropolis is designed to capture––and offers its residents and visitors. The shopping in Altafina will measure up to GenSan's reputation as a top shopping hub. Naturally, amazing food and beverage choices follow. The estate is inspired by the dynamic groove the beach town of San Diego radiates alongside amenities and today's smart building technology.

As San Diego and GenSan are proud of the diversity of the cultures, adventures, and opportunities they play host to, Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, building architecture, and public space design. There will be office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Altafina’s initial offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work.

Condominium complexes and neighborly horizontal communities will dot the development. Its first offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work. Rising seven to 12 storeys per tower creates medium densities, allowing for privacy and breathing space. Each tower provides a selection of one—and two-bedroom residences equipped with smart technology and security and safety features. In Altafina, the options are as diverse, attractive, and exciting as San Diego and GenSan have always been.

Vista Land: Pioneering excellence in property development

As the holding company of the housing ventures of Vista Group, Vista Land is primarily engaged in developing horizontal properties, master-planned communities, and the construction of vertical residences in the Philippines' key growth areas.

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up.

Vista Land is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California.

Filipinos deserve the best—this driving belief has been integral to Vista Land and its day-to-day operations and is the secret to its success. Creating better, expansive, and global-oriented offerings and experiences for its residents, as well as delivering excellent long-term investment growth for its stakeholders, has always been the impetus behind the conglomerate's continuous evolution.

Alsons Dev Expands with Nurtura, Offering Quality Homes for Young Families

Tweet

Grow your family, grow your future. Quality homes designed for families by Nurtura Land and Home.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Finding a home that fits your growing family's ever-changing needs and budgets is a vital step towards stability. Mindanao-based real estate developer Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) has adapted to these needs through its mid-cost housing brand, Nurtura Land and Home.

Recognizing the importance of creating homes catering to evolving living standards and value for money, Nurtura Land and Home offers thoughtfully designed and expertly constructed homes that prioritize quality, adaptive design, and cost-effectiveness.

"Drawing from decades of experience in developing thriving communities in Davao City, Alsons Dev takes pride in creating spaces where families with diverse aspirations and lifestyles can thrive. Our Nurtura brand embodies this promise with family-centric designs that ensure safety, comfort, and great value, providing the perfect environment for families to grow and flourish," said Alsons Dev President and CEO Miguel Dominguez.

Narra Park Residences: 

Where efficient planning meets quality living

Narra Park Residences, the maiden project of Nurtura Land & Home by Alsons Dev, was recognized as the Best Housing Development in Metro Davao at the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards for both 2023 and 2024.

Narra Park Residences stands tall as a testament to Alsons Dev's vision of creating harmonious living spaces at an accessible price point.

Recently recognized as the Best Housing Development in Mindanao at the 2024 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, Narra Park Residences Avia continues Alsons Dev’s commitment to providing vibrant living spaces for more families in the SOX Region.

Its counterpart, Narra Park Residences Avia, which is located within SOCCSKSARGEN's very first mixed-use development, Avia Estate in Alabel, Sarangani, also carries the signature qualities of Alsons Dev's residential communities under its Nurtura brand.

The variety of housing units for both Nurtura projects—from bungalows to two-story homes—cater to diverse preferences and family needs. These homes feature compact yet space-efficient layouts to maximize functionality and ensure every square foot is usable. Also, the generous lot sizes allow for a garage and garden, ideal for growing families.

"It all begins with strategic space planning," says Tricia A. Dizon, a Makati-based interior decorator with whom Alsons Dev frequently collaborates. "Alsons Dev's in-house planners put a lot of thought into the future homeowners' needs and preferences. We work together to conceptualize and determine the purpose of each space and how prospective buyers intend to use it in everyday living. This becomes our guiding star in creating functional and efficient homes tailored for future homeowners."

Alsons Dev's commitment to efficient planning also extends to construction quality. Every project undergoes rigorous inspections, ensuring each home meets the highest safety standards.

"Alsons Dev's commitment to excellence is evident from concept to execution," said Greric Santos, proprietor of Greco Construction who worked on the Narra Park Residence projects in Davao and Sarangani. "I can vouch for their high standards for quality because I see how their Construction Management team enforces them rigorously on contractors like myself.”

Designed for a balanced lifestyle

Nurtura Land and Home builds communities that go beyond just homes, offering expansive outdoor spaces for today's modern families

Beyond developing houses, Narra Park Residences in Davao and Avia Estate also offer a community-centric environment. Both developments feature expansive green spaces and large parks that encourage social interaction. Family-friendly amenities like pools and multi-purpose courts not only promote an active lifestyle within the neighborhood but also foster a sense of belonging and connection.

The resident's safety and peace of mind are given top priority, as seen in the 24/7 guarded entrance, perimeter walls, and dual gates that double as access points to essential establishments. In the case of Narra Park Residences Avia, a public safety and security complex that integrates police, fire, and emergency response stations is being built close to the residential area, ensuring a secure and peaceful living environment.

Arch. Patrick Tan, Principal Architect of PCTAN Architects and Associates and longtime collaborator of Alsons Dev attests, "We are proud to partner with Alsons Dev in creating vibrant communities. Our collaboration has led to the design of amenities that foster social connections, enrich residents' lives, and serve the larger community, like the Alabel Public Safety and Security Complex in Avia Estate. Alsons Dev's commitment to thoughtful development sets a high standard for the industry."

Nurturing generations with lasting homes

Through people-centric developments and thoughtfully designed communities like Narra Park Residences, Alsons Dev cements its leadership in Mindanao real estate, offering exceptional living experiences to the mid-cost market through Nurtura Land & Home.

Building a nation of homeowners: SMDC turns over first vertical socialized housing in Iloilo City

Tweet

SM Development Corporation (SMDC), the residential arm of SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPHI), one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated property developers, takes a bold step in tackling the nation’s housing backlog through strategic partnerships with local governments.

KaUSWAGAN Residences serves as an accessible and affordable housing solution for Iloilo City Government employees, reaffirming SMDC’s commitment to building a nation of homeowners

In a symbolic turnover ceremony, SMDC handed over the keys to KaUSWAGAN Residence – the first vertical socialized housing project in Iloilo City – further advancing the government’s efforts to reduce the 6.5 million housing backlog.

The Php 248-million KaUSWAGAN Residences is a collaboration between SMDC, the Iloilo City Government, and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD). The development, located in Barangay San Isidro, Jaro, serves as an accessible and affordable housing solution for Iloilo City Government employees, reaffirming SMDC commitment to socialized housing.

“This project underscores SMDC’s commitment to supporting the government’s socialized housing program,” said Jeffrey C. Lim, SMPHI President. “We are proud to deliver high-quality homes for Filipino workers and contribute to building thriving communities.”

Designed with the working class in mind, KaUSWAGAN Residences features two twin four-story buildings with 30-square-meter units, ample parking spaces, and proximity to the city center—just 6.5 kilometers from Iloilo City Hall. This thoughtful location provides easy access to essential services, making it a practical choice for local government employees.

Residents will enjoy easy access to the city center, a practical choice for local government employees.

A Model for Future Collaborations

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas praised the partnership, noting that the project offers a replicable model for future collaborations between the government and the private sector. “The City Government of Iloilo is grateful for the strong partnership with SDMC. Through the KaUSWAGAN Residences, we are providing working-class families with affordable homes, a critical need in our city. This project sets benchmark for public-private collaborations in housing, and we hope it will be replicated in other regions,” said Treñas.

SMDC’s Commitment to Socialized Housing

SMDC has committed over P1.108 billion to the Philippine government’s socialized housing program, building housing developments since 2012. These projects cover land development, land acquisition, and the construction of socialized housing units across the country, in partnership with local government units (LGUs) and the DHS

In addition to KaUSWAGAN Residences, SMDC has utilized its P1.108 billion commitment to support other housing projects nationwide. These include:

• Davao City: P320 million for land development in Barrio Lasang for a socialized housing project.

• Eastern Samar: P184.4 million in Salcedoville, Barangay Tagbacan, where 300 homes were built for Typhoon Yolanda survivors.

• Cavite: P192.1 million for the Bayanihan Gawad Kalinga Village in Dasmariñas City.

• Abra: A housing program in Indigo Subdivision, Barangay Basbasa, Tayum, consisting of 126 housing units set for turnover by 2025.

Beyond its socialized housing contributions, SMDC has also launched Style Residences—its first premium development in Iloilo City. Located within the city’s Lifestyle District and adjacent to SM City Iloilo, this five-tower complex offers over 2,900 residential units. The development features high-end amenities such as swimming pools, landscaped gardens, and function rooms, catering to the growing demand for upscale urban living in Iloilo.

In 2021, SMDC launched Glade Residences in Jaro, Iloilo. Featuring 11 four-story buildings, the mid-rise development blends modern living with heritage preservation. With lush open spaces, vertical gardens, and a future SM shopping center, this development offers 8,800 sqm of amenities and landscaped areas, including a rain catchment system and cistern tanks. It’s a perfect mix of style, sustainability, and value.

A Nation of Homeowners

SMDC continues to strive toward its vision of creating a nation of homeowners. Through projects like KaUSWAGAN Residences, Style and Glade Residences, SMDC remains committed to building life-centered communities, where Filipinos can lead fulfilling, healthy, and thriving lives.

“The KaUSWAGAN project is a concrete example of how public-private partnerships can significantly improve the lives of working-class citizens. Together, we are making the dream of homeownership a reality for more Filipinos,” added Treñas.

SMDC leads the charge in building disaster-resilient communities across PH

Tweet

As the Philippines plays host to this year’s Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR), leading property developer SM Development Corporation (SMDC) reaffirms its commitment to building communities that prioritize safety, resilience and sustainability. With the Philippines being one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, SMDC has made disaster preparedness and resilience at the core of its design and construction philosophy.

“Disaster resilience should not just be an add-on — it’s a necessity,” said Jessica Sy, VP and Head of Design, Innovation and Strategy. “We are proud to take a leadership role in designing communities that can withstand the unique environmental challenges of our country. By integrating disaster-resilient features and fostering a culture of preparedness, we ensure that our residents can feel safe and secure in their homes, no matter what challenges arise.”

Charm Residences in Cainta, Rizal features elevated construction that ensures the safety of residents during heavy rainfall and flooding events.

Building strong foundation for resilience

Recognizing the unique vulnerabilities of this country to typhoons, earthquakes, and floods, SMDC employs a robust set of strategies to safeguard its residents.

· Elevated construction for flood prevention – SMDC buildings are designed with raised ground elevation to mitigate the impact of flooding, a common concern in low-lying areas.

· Innovative stormwater management systems - To combat heavy rainfall, SMDC properties are equipped with rainwater detention tanks that can reduce water runoff by up to 85%. This system ensures proper drainage and minimizes the risk of flooding within the development. Field Residences in Sucat, Parañaque, for example, features an advanced stormwater system capable of handling rainfall levels similar to those experienced during Typhoon Ondoy.

· Earthquake-resistant structures – With the Philippines being situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire, SMDC properties are built to fully comply with seismic codes, incorporating passive design strategies to reduce the impact of earthquakes on buildings.

Construction of a stormwater management system designed to handle rainfall equivalent to that of Typhoon Ondoy at Field Residences in Sucat, Paranaque

Empowering communities through preparedness

SMDC regularly conducts disaster preparedness trainings among its residents and property management staff to ensure the communities’ readiness for emergencies and natural calamities.

Beyond the physical infrastructure, SMDC believes that building resilient communities goes beyond construction. The company conducts regular disaster preparedness training for residents and property management staff to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed in the event of a disaster.

SMDC's property management teams are trained in emergency response, ensuring that they can provide immediate assistance to residents during critical times.

Resilience at the heart of SMDC’s vision

In addition to physical disaster mitigation measures, SMDC properties include ample green spaces and refuge areas where residents can seek safety in the event of an emergency. This holistic approach to disaster resilience aligns with SMDC’s broader vision of creating sustainable, thriving communities where residents can live well, even in the face of environmental risks.

Commitment to sustainability

Looking ahead, SMDC is focused on continuously improving its disaster-resilience strategies. The company plans to expand its rainwater management systems and implement further green innovations, including solar-powered backup systems and renewable energy solutions, ensuring that its communities remain functional even during prolonged emergencies.#

Landco Pacific Corporation Expands its Reach to the United States with Inviting Shores of Luxury

Tweet

Second California Roadshow Aims to Engage More U.S. Investors with Stunning Beachfront Condominium Developments in the Tourist Destinations of Batangas, Philippines

Landco Pacific Corporation, renowned for pioneering premium landscapes for more than 30 years and a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) with its chairman, Manuel V. Pangilinan, lands on US shores anew with its roadshow kicking off at the Rosewood Hotel, Menlo Park, San Francisco on October 12 and in Pasadena on October 26. A series of pocket events will also complement these two key activations.

"It's an honor to return to the U.S. for our second roadshow," said Landco Pacific President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano. "We're eager to help our kababayans realize their dream of owning beachfront homes — premium spaces that they can enjoy now and pass down the line as lasting legacies. With excellent rental income potential, these beach homes are not just dreams realized; they're smart investments as well."

Manzano added that Landco’s latest developments are highly sought-after, given Landco Pacific’s track record of high-value appreciation with its legacy project of Punta Fuego in Batangas growing in value to about 1,000% since it was launched in the ’90s; development of renowned and coveted prime residential and leisure properties in key cities across the country; and financial strength as a subsidiary of MPIC.

The US roadshow will be spearheaded by Manzano together with Vice President for Commercial and Customer Experience Gerard Penaflor and Sales and Marketing Manager Charisse Santiano.

Strengthening Landco’s sustained presence in the US are its key partners: Consul General Neil Ferrer of the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco and Director Soleil Tropicales, Philippine Department of Tourism Office in San Francisco. To enliven the US roadshow, TFC (The Filipino Channel) TV personality Ginger Conejero will co-host the first event.

The US roadshow will put a spotlight on Landco Pacific beachfront condominium developments in Batangas: The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, San Juan; The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Nasugbu and the newly-launched Nautilus at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach). These upscale properties inspire Fil-Ams and US citizens to invest in the Philippines and build their dream beach homes in the country’s seaside paradise.

These three Landco Pacific beachfront condominiums are proudly pursuing EDGE Certification of the International Finance Corporation, a member of The World Bank Group, targeting to meet the criteria of at least 20% savings on use of resources: water, energy, and embodied materials. These developments will be the first to feature the double-piped waterline system to use non-potable water for toilet flushing and irrigation. The construction will use multiple recycled metals and materials, and there will be Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations to reduce these properties’ carbon footprint.

The Spinnaker and Nautilus are situated in eco-friendly Landco Pacific BeachTowns: Club Laiya and CaSoBe, correspondingly. The Landco BeachTowns are Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-registered for the properties’ sustainability program. There are tree-lined walkways, pedestrian routes, bicycle lanes, a beach promenade. There’s also double-piped water management system. Environmental conservation efforts and livelihood projects for the local community are undertaken.

Property investors have the choice to build their dream beach homes that can double as a business that caters to the tourism market from a bed and breakfast, restaurants and cafes to water sports and beach lifestyle-related products and services.

The BeachTowns also offers unique accommodations: the pod-like Cocoons in Club Laiya and CaSoBe, Crusoe Cabins in CaSoBe, the upcycled container vans with rustic façade and modern interiors, recognized as the first EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies)-certified resort in the country; and the Chairman’s Cabin, Cupola and Camperistialso in CaSoBe; and leisure and dining amenities: Aquaria Water Park in CaSoBe, Laiya Beach Club at Club Laiya; and Captain Barbozza restaurant and bar in both properties, managed by Landco Lifestyle Ventures, the hospitality arm of Landco Pacific Corporation.

The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, a Winner in the recent PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards for Best Waterfront Condominium Development, and Highly Commended as the Best Lifestyle Condominium Development, marks a new era in upscale beachfront living. Set in the prestigious Punta Fuego community in the Philippines, the exclusive residential condominium represents the final opportunity to become part of an elite legacy.

Only two to three hours from Metro Manila, The Nautilus, The Spinnaker and The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego are situated at the sprawling master-planned communities, and tourism destination. The developments feature a mix of residential and commercial lots, and tourist hubs. Each provides distinct experiences and opportunities that are part of one unified development of Landco Pacific Corporation.

The Nautilus

The new-launched 10-storey The Nautilus at CaSoBe draws its inspiration from the famous submarine Nautilus featured in Jules Verne's classic novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Commanding like a ship on the shore, the iconic structure of The Nautilus carves the beach skyline as a homage to the fictional Nautilus, captained by the enigmatic Captain Nemo, known for its advanced technology, mysterious allure, and exploration of the unknown depths of the ocean.

The Nautilus is master planned by an award-winning international team of designers and thought leaders of sustainable built environments of Pomeroy Studio in Singapore and its architecture is designed by Visionarch, ranked 57th in the World Architecture 100 in 2024.

The Nautilus also features hotel amenities, rental income opportunities and access to the CaSoBe hospitality and leisure facilities.

The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego

The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego is poised as a pinnacle of luxury, offering exclusive one to three-bedroom apartments within its beachfront condominium, comprising three clusters. These residences boast low-density living, panoramic views of Nasugbu Bay, and a seamless blend of Spanish Mediterranean and Asian Tropical architecture.

Punta Fuego, developed by Landco Pacific Corp.and Roxaco Land Corp. in the 1990s, stands out among Nasugbu’s developments for its prestigious marina, golf course, and distinguished community, commanding a fourfold price premium over adjacent areas.

Unit owners will enjoy the privileges of Club Association Membership, granting access to the exclusive amenities of Club Punta Fuego and the Landco Privilege Club Program. With the commitment to maintain its high environmental and community standards, The Residences represents not just a home but a legacy within an idyllic and exclusive seaside sanctuary.

The Spinnaker

The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, a Winner of The Best Condominium Architectural Design and Highly Commended as the Best Investment Condominium Development at the recent PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, is an iconic beachfront condotel at Club Laiya. It was acclaimed at the 2024 International Property Awards (IPA) as the Best Sustainable Residential Development (Five Stars) in the Philippines.

Poised as an iconic architectural landmark resembling its namesake headsail of a yacht, in full swing, the 22-storey The Spinnaker is a captivating medium-rise beachfront premium condominium, with terraced levels and luxurious cuts, features an exclusive 4th floor infinity pool, and positive Miami vibes.

The Spinnaker offers hotel-like amenities in its building: a well-designed lobby, commercial spaces for dining and leisure activities, drop-off area, common and podium parking, meeting rooms and storage rooms, gym and spa, 25-meter Infinity lap pool, kid's pool, lounge area, bar, kid's play zone, ballroom for social and corporate functions, a sky bar and helipad.
