Building sustainable and resilient cities for the future

Filinvest City is the gold standard in sustainable and future-ready community

Extreme events around the world in recent years, from a pandemic to climate change, have forced people to re-think their way of living, and for real estate companies to re-evaluate how they develop properties. Now more than ever, many are already realizing that living sustainably is no longer a luxury but a necessity – where all dwellings should pave the way for a better quality of life in the future.

The gold standard in sustainable developments

Long before urban planners incorporated green and sustainable practices into their masterplan, Filinvest has been pioneering these future-ready features into its crown jewel, Filinvest City in Alabang. As the first and only central business district in the Philippines with LEED-Gold Certification by the U.S Green Building Council and 3-Star rating for the Pilot Version of BERDE Districts (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) by the Philippine Green Building Council, every space and corner within the city is intentionally designed for the health and well-being of its people.

From parks to transportation, every component in Filinvest City is convenient, accessible, and refreshing. Within the masterplanned development are spacious public and pocket parks which are all interconnected for easy pedestrian movement.

This self-sustaining community is also home to a variety of dwelling types where all lifestyle and essential establishments are well within reach: A mix of retail, restaurants and entertainment are thoughtfully chosen to provide a variety of options for Filinvest Cityzens. Police and fire stations, hospitals, and other critical facilities are incorporated into the development to ensure round-the-clock public security and safety. Further boosting these features and amenities is free Wi-Fi for the community in select areas, strategically located CCTV, and 24/7 security.

Sustainability continues in the realm of utilities and facilities that support cost and energy efficiency. It is home to the largest District Cooling System in the Philippines, which saves offices as much as 40 percent in energy costs. Filinvest City’s own Sewage Treatment Plant is also an added sustainable feature of the city as it allows recycled water to water the landscaping. This is particularly beneficial to investors and companies who are looking for strategic locations with high probability of a return on investment. In a bid to reduce carbon emissions, the city also provides the fully-integrated electric-powered public transport 360 Eco-Loop vehicles.

To further mitigate the city’s carbon footprint, one of its major establishments, Festival Mall, has switched to sustainable power with 2.8 megawatt-peak solar power on its rooftops. This project will save about 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to removing around 9,000 cars off the roads of Metro Manila.

Green beyond the Metro South

With the success of its flagship development in Alabang, the developers of Filinvest City continue to lead in green, sustainable developments as it brings its trademark best practices to other Filinvest townships. In Northern Luzon, Filinvest has two communities that share the same sustainability DNA: 1) the 201-hectare Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark, Pampanga; and 2) the 288-hectare Filinvest New Clark City in Capas, Tarlac. Their location in Central Luzon makes it accessible through local and international routes via NLEX, SCTEX, Clark International Airport, and Subic International Freeport.
