The combined expertise of Federal Land, Inc., one of the Philippines’ most trusted developers with over 50 years of legacy, and Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a Japanese real estate giant with 65 years of global innovation, marked a new era in property development. In 2022, the formidable partnership forged between the real estate giants brought Federal Land NRE Global Inc. (FNG) with a vision of reshaping the Philippine landscape and redefining urban living.
Federal Land, Inc., a subsidiary of GT Capital Holdings, has more than five decades of experience in innovating residential, retail, commercial developments, and integrated communities in key cities in the country. Founded in the 50s, Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (NRE) is a long-standing leader in Japan’s real estate industry involved in residential development, leasing, investment management, property brokerage, and facility management. With its overseas expansion, the property developer brings Japanese innovation, strategies, and design principles to the local setting.
Since its inception, FNG has been guided by its brand pillars, with underlying principles of sustainability and human-centric designs, in its vision of elevating the urban living of Filipinos.
FNG introduces the “Japanese” pillar in its creation of spaces with intentional functionality by applying new methods, ideas, or technology. This is combined with the “innovation’ pillar in developments that will be fitted with highly thought of design, architecture, and features. In addition, FNG’s “collaboration” brand promises future partnerships with local government units, local companies, and individuals with corporate social responsibility initiatives.
Thriving communities
As partners, FLI and NRE created The Seasons Residences which brings a taste of the Japanese lifestyle combined with a Filipino sense of community to the heart of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Its distinct Japanese design concept showcases minimalist yet innovative and advanced features. Elements of Japanese living stand out in its amenities and features, such as earthquake-resistant technology, air-washing tiles, oil-filter range hoods, and customizable storage spaces. The property also hosts the first Mitsukoshi Mall in the country that provides a Japanese shopping experience to local consumers.
Yume at Riverpark is FNG’s first horizontal residential project located within a sprawling 600-hectare township that offers residential, commercial, institutional, and office spaces. To be completed in May 2026, Yume’s 18-hectare development integrates Japanese home living with the modern conveniences of the urban setting.
These groundbreaking projects have earned industry awards, showcasing FNG as a young developer with remarkable impact in the highly competitive industry. In the 12th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards 2024, the largest and most prestigious awards ceremony in the local real estate industry, FNG bagged the Best Breakthrough Developer award in recognition of its remarkable impact in the industry. Yume at Riverpark was given the Best Subdivision Development award, a standout project that offers a sublime lifestyle combined with the modern sophistication of Japanese urban living. These are accolades that solidify FNG’s position as a formidable player in the property sector.
A notable addition to FNG’s property portfolio is the mixed-use development named The Observatory. Located in Mandaluyong City, this landmark project delivers sophisticated urban living, an unparalleled view of the BGC skyline, and a complete, convenient, and comfortable experience in its residential, retail, and commercial spaces.
Market leader
FNG’s amazing feats would not have been possible without the people who brought their expertise to the challenge of innovating the property sector. As one of the leading conglomerates in the country, GT Capital’s track record in the real estate industry laid the groundwork to develop FNG’s goals to stand out in the industry.
Federal Land is led by seasoned real estate professionals with valuable insights on the local market. Their understanding of the country’s property sector directs FNG’s developments to be receptive and adaptive to the Filipino’s needs and aspirations in today’s modern living. The real estate experts from Nomura provide the insight that pushes boundaries for quality and ingenuity. This team of expatriates brings their strengths in operations, architecture, property development, sales, and marketing with a global mindset.
With its expanding portfolio and solid partnership, FNG is perfectly positioned to create new value for its stakeholders. As FNG President Thomas Mirasol said, “At FNG, we envision more than just developments; we see nests where lifestyles across various walks of life converge to nurture thriving communities. We are also always grateful to contribute to the growth of areas that we are present in, creating impact not only to the location but its people.”
FNG’s vision is clear as it treads the future: to elevate Philippine real estate with its developments. The developer’s commitment to prioritizing convenience, efficiency, and wellbeing will lead the way in making livable, lasting homes available for Filipinos. FNG is steady in its evolution to create smarter communities as the property developer continues to anticipate and respond to emerging needs and distinct preferences of its customers.
