A joint venture with Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd., reputable names in Japan’s real estate, the four-tower residential development and retail concept is Japanese-inspired and rises in BGC’s Grand Central Park.

For the upscale market, Federal Land has prime developments in major cities in Metro Manila and Cebu. The Grand Midori Ortigas is designed by world-renowned Japanese architectural firm Tange Associates and is poised to be a Zen-inspired sanctuary right in the middle of bustling Ortigas Center.  Mi Casa, located in Metro Park in Pasay City’s Manila Bay Area, is a tropical-inspired residential paradise.

It shares its space with Grand Hyatt Manila, with the office spaces located on the lower floors and the international luxury hotel occupying the upper floors. The skyscraper is part of Federal Land’s master-planned New York-inspired community, Grand Central Park.

GT Tower International in Makati has become an iconic landmark along Ayala Avenue, thanks to its distinct silhouette. Designed by homegrown architectural firms in cooperation with international consultants, it stands at 47 storeys, with a blade-like apex that seems to pierce the Makati City skyline.

iMet in Pasay’s Bay Area is a PEZA-accredited office space that is a favored choice among business process outsourcing companies.

The mixed-use development offers BPO office spaces as well.

Hotels that shape standards of luxury

Federal Land has ventured into the hospitality segment. The company has partnered with world-famous brands in order to develop and bring in five-star hotels to the local scene.
