In a world where sustainability often feels like a distant ideal, ARTHALAND makes it tangible, accessible, and even musical. At the topping-off ceremony of Una Apartments Tower 1 in Sevina Park in Biñan, ARTHALAND revealed that green living, to its very essence, is possible here.
Members of the management committee of ARTHALAND during the ceremonial planting to celebrate the topping off of Tower 1. From L-R: Cornelio S. Mapa Jr., Director, EVP and Treasurer; Sheryll P. Verano, Senior Vice President for Strategic Funding and Investments; Christopher G. Narciso, Executive Vice President; Oliver L. Chan, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer; and Leilani G. Kanapi, Vice President for Strategic Procurement.
Known for doing things differently, ARTHALAND held the construction milestone by spotlighting the Potager Garden, a unique feature of Sevina Park where herbs and vegetables thrive, allowing residents to harvest fresh produce for their meals.
Each element of the Potager Garden carries an important symbolism. Soil represents the foundation of life, plants embody sustainability, water signifies growth and development, and sunlight conveys energy and vitality. Taking center stage during the topping-off ceremony, together, these natural elements create a living melody that underscores Sevina Park’s role as a sanctuary for sustainable living.

However, the centerpiece of Sevina Park’s philosophy is the Symphony of Flora, a two-minute musical score created from the sounds of five plants found in the estate’s Blue Zone. This project turns the estate’s commitment to the environment into a sensory experience.
“We wanted to create something that truly reflects what Sevina Park stands for—a place where nature and people thrive together,” said Oliver Chan, ARTHALAND Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.

This composition is a creative flourish and proof of ARTHALAND’s innovative approach to sustainability. By integrating such creative expressions into their developments, ARTHALAND redefines living in harmony with the environment.
Green living for all
Una Apartments is the latest addition to the 8.1-hectare Sevina Park, a LEED Platinum-certified and BERDE 5-Star development in Laguna. It exemplifies ARTHALAND’s commitment to making sustainability accessible to the mid-market segment.

Tower 1, which sold out in just 10 months, proves the growing demand for homes that combine comfort, practicality, and eco-conscious design. With Tower 2 already 60% sold, Una Apartments is proving that green living is a lifestyle that everyone can embrace.
“Access to world-class, sustainable homes should not be limited to the luxury segment,” said Jaime C. González, ARTHALAND Vice Chairman and President. “Una Apartments represents our vision of making sustainable living the norm rather than the exception.”

Every aspect of Una Apartments is designed with sustainability and wellness in mind. Units come in studio and one-bedroom configurations, featuring a 2.6-meter ceiling height and operable windows that maximize natural light and ventilation.
Energy-efficient air-conditioning systems, LED lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures help residents save up to 20% on energy and water bills. The units also include a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with MERV filters to ensure superior indoor air quality.
The flooring is made from Stone Polymer Composite, known for its durability and water resistance. Residents can also enjoy their own balconies, offering serene views of Sevina Park’s lush surroundings, including the distant silhouette of Mt. Makiling.
But what truly sets Una Apartments apart is its Potager Garden, where residents can access fresh, organic produce. This garden reflects ARTHALAND’s commitment to promoting wellness and self-sufficiency, encouraging a farm-to-table lifestyle that aligns with sustainable living values.
“Una Apartments is not just about where you live; it’s about how you live,” said Chan.
Living in the Blue Zone
Sevina Park’s Blue Zone takes inspiration from global communities known for their longevity and wellness. This concept focuses on creating environments that reduce stress, encourage healthy living, and promote a sense of belonging.
With 60% of its area dedicated to green and open spaces, Sevina Park supports biodiversity while reducing carbon emissions. Eco-friendly features like rainwater collection systems and energy-efficient utilities further enhance its sustainability credentials.
Easily accessible via the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), Sevina Park is a haven for families, professionals, and retirees looking for a balanced lifestyle.
As Tower 1 nears completion by the fourth quarter of 2026, the buzz around Tower 2 highlights the growing appeal of Una Apartments.
