PH1 World Developers’ (PH1WD) recently launched two new projects worth almost P11 billion that are seen to disrupt the vertical and horizontal space in the greater Manila area.
“Through our newest projects, you will see what PH1 World Developers is about: disruption,” declared Gigi Alcantara, PH1WD president at the company’s media launch last week. “We will challenge industry conventions and set new standards in property development that give you extra space, extra convenience, and extra value.”
PH1WD’s parent company—engineering and infrastructure company Megawide—is undertaking the design and construction for both projects.
Energy efficiency for Filipino homes
PH1WD’s maiden entry into horizontal housing is Northscapes San Jose Del Monte (Main photo), a 337-unit development in Bulacan with an estimated sales value of P1.9 billion.
With a land area of more than 46,000 sq m., Northscapes will be an energy efficient community with PH1’s exclusive green home technologies: SolarSave solar panels, ResiShade tinted windows and Tropicool insulated walls.
“Landscapes SJDM is our foray into horizontal development,” said Eric Gregor Tan, General Manager for PH1WD Landscapes. “We want to show that a sustainable, green lifestyle is accessible to every Filipino at any market segment. And through Megawide’s engineering technologies such as precast, we can ensure higher quality, consistency, and durability in terms of construction.”
All units in Northscapes will be equipped with 2.25 KW capacity solar panels from SolarSave. Streetlights and amenities will also be solar powered. Units will consist of the single-attached Elia, the townhouse end-unit Salana, and the middle unit townhouse called Alba. All will have two storeys with three bedrooms each, and are priced from P3 million to P8 million.
In the pipeline for horizontal development is a project located in Trece Martires, Cavite. Aside from Luzon, PH1 World Landscapes is also looking at projects in the Visayas, particularly in Cebu.
Vertical innovation
The company’s groundbreaking “extra space at no extra cost” offering continues in Modan Lofts Ortigas Hills, PH1WD’s high rise development with an estimated sales value of P8.7 billion.
Located in Taytay, Rizal, Modan has 986 residential units in a lot area of around 16,500 sq m. Units range from studio, one and two bedrooms, and are priced from P5 million to P10 million.
The “extra space” is made possible through the company’s AddLoft Technology, developed in partnership with Megawide. It was first introduced in the company’s earlier vertical project, My Enso Lofts, located in Timog, Quezon City (Shown here).
“AddLoft increases the total volume of livable space by up to 38% through a specific loft structure that maximizes the high ceilings of each unit,” explained Spike Ching, PH1WD AVP for Project Development. “It offers residents the freedom to customize their living spaces and maximize functionality in each unit based on their needs and lifestyle,” he continued.
PH1WD announced that its next vertical development will be in Pasig City.
