Arthaland shrugs off condo glut on strong Laguna sales

MANILA, Philippines – Arthaland Corp. remains confident in the residential market despite concerns about a condominium oversupply, pointing to strong demand for its sustainability-focused projects in Laguna.

During the topping-off ceremony for Una Apartments Tower 2, the company said demand continues to be healthy for developments that offer quality, sustainability, wellness features and long-term value, even as some areas face elevated housing supply.

“While certain areas may experience elevated supply, there continues to be healthy demand for differentiated developments that offer quality, sustainability, wellness features and long-term value,” said Oliver Chan, executive vice president and chief sustainability officer of Arthaland.

The company cited the performance of its Una Apartments project in Sevina Park, a mixed-use estate in Biñan City.

Tower 1 was fully sold within its first 10 months in the market, while Tower 2 has already sold 83 percent of its units ahead of its scheduled completion in December 2028. Tower 1 turnover is set to begin in October 2026.

Arthaland also reported that all villas within Sevina Park have been sold out, with demand continuing to come from buyers attracted to the growing community in the area.

The company said buyers of Una Apartments include a mix of end-users and investors. Some families purchase units for children studying nearby, while international buyers intend to use the units as retirement homes.

Overseas Filipino workers have also bought units as a potential source of rental income.

Arthaland describes Sevina Park as the first and only mixed-use community in Southeast Asia to achieve platinum certification for both LEED for neighborhood development and LEED for homes.

The township was masterplanned by Boston-based Sasaki Associates and dedicates around 60 percent of its land area to green and open spaces.

Units are equipped with energy-efficient air-conditioning systems, lighting and low-flow plumbing fixtures that can deliver water and energy savings of up to 20 percent.

As of April 30, 122 buyers who bought a total of 132 units were set to avail themselves of the Balai Berde financing program. This offers annual fixed interest rates of as low as 3 percent and financing of up to 100 percent of a property’s appraised value.

Across its developments, Arthaland reported energy savings of 54 percent and water savings of 39 percent as of 2025. INQ
