REAL estate has always been an industry that thrives, no matter the season or situation. Even amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it remains to be a viable asset that only appreciates over time—more so when it is a sound property in an enviable location and is backed by a trusted developer. In diversifying investment portfolios, real estate is a winning choice, especially because it can be passed down from one generation to the next.
A prime example of this is premier real-estate brand Filigree, which continues to lead the way in sustainable, smart and future-ready home designs—qualities that are proving to be valuable amid the pandemic and beyond. These are all evident in its flagship development, Botanika Nature Residences, which was a collaborative project of renowned designers Leandro V. Locsin Partners, Miaja Design Group, Architecture International, AECOM and Tina Periquet of Periquet Galicia Inc. for unit space planning of the second tower.
A frontrunner in green living, Botanika Nature Residences boasts of generous living spaces and well-curated amenities made to promote comfort, good health, and excellent quality of life. This includes the thematic lush gardens, tiered pool, fully-equipped gym, indoor game room and play area, business center, amphitheater and sky lounge. Meanwhile, its spacious units were designed to anticipate the owners’ distinctive lifestyle. Tower 1 offers two-bedroom to three-bedroom units, ranging from 125 to 221 sq m, while Tower 2 brings to the mix one-bedroom units at a generous size of 72 sq m.
It is because of these unique features that Botanika has earned a four-star BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) rating, and accolades such as a five-star rating in Asia Pacific Property Awards 2020 Best Sustainable Residential Development in the Philippines, the Philippine Green Building Council: Leadership in Sustainable Design and Performance, and Outstanding Award during the 2020 Energy Efficient Green Building Awards of Department of Energy.
Further highlighting its commitment to sustainable living, Botanika is strategically located in Filinvest City, Alabang, the first and only township with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold in Neighborhood Development certification in the Philippines. With a walkable garden city, Botanika residents can easily have access to all of life’s essentials like world-class medical facilities, major business establishments, shopping and commercial centers, and prestigious educational institutions.
“Filinvest City, as a bustling central business district in the metro south, immediately puts Botanika at an advantage,” noted Daphne Sanchez, Filigree deputy head. “The city continues to enjoy an upward trajectory with compounded annual growth rate of more than 20 percent in the last 10 years. Botanika shares this success as the value per sq m of its Tower 1 increased by approximately 60 percent since its pre-selling, making it an attractive option for expats and investors who prefer village living in a condominium setting.”
Sanchez also added, “The pandemic has underscored the need to push for quality investments that can weather through the rainy days. Botanika Nature Residences is all that and more.”
