A new kind of home is taking shape—a mid-market living that showcases sustainability and wellness at its core. This development offers more than just a place to live; it's a community where thoughtful design meets exceptional quality, making the dream of owning a sustainable home more accessible than ever. With innovative features and a commitment to creating spaces that elevate everyday living, it's setting a new standard for what it means to call a place home.
Arthaland recently celebrated a significant milestone with the topping off ceremony of Tower 1 at Una Apartments—the country's first multi-certified mid-market residential development—in Biñan, Laguna, on Monday, November 18, 2024. This achievement underscores Una Apartments' dedication to delivering affordable, sustainable homes without compromising on quality or design.
Jaime C. González, Arthaland vice chairman and president, emphasized the importance of making sustainability more inclusive. "Access to world-class, sustainable products should be for everyone and should not be limited to the luxury and upscale market segments. In executing our plans to enter the mid-market segment, we ensure that we maintain our leadership presence and that we design our product offerings with the same quality and sustainability standards for which Arthaland is known for," he said.
Adding a unique touch to the ceremony, Arthaland presented "The Symphony of Flora," a two-minute musical composition created using sounds from plants found in The Blue Zone at Sevina Park. This creative execution reflects the harmony between nature and sustainability, with the plant sounds symbolizing core values: a strong foundation, sustainability, growth and development, and the energy that drives both the community and its residents.
The event also highlighted Sevina Park's essence, including its Potager Garden, emphasizing Arthaland's commitment to integrating nature and wellness into its developments. The ceremony serves as a testament to the company's innovative approach, blending design and sustainability in meaningful ways.
Inside Una Apartments
Accessible via the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), Una Apartments offers studio and one-bedroom units equipped with energy-efficient air conditioning, lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. These features help residents save up to 20 percent on water and energy consumption. The project is slated for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Designed to be “one step above," Una Apartments combines sustainable features with superior design and quality, bringing world-class eco-friendly homes to a broader market. The units stand out with 2.6-meter-high ceilings, natural ventilation, and optimized daylighting. Stone polymer composite flooring ensures durability and easy maintenance, while balconies offer expansive views of green spaces. With 60 percent of the development dedicated to open areas, residents can also access organic produce from the onsite Potager Garden.
Christopher G. Narciso, Arthaland's executive vice president, expressed pride in the project's success, noting strong demand from the mid-market segment. "We are proud to announce that Tower 1 was sold out within the first 10 months, indicating very strong demand from the mid-market segment. I am sure all those who have invested in Una Apartments will be delighted to learn about this major construction milestone and can already foresee themselves living one step above in the near future," he shared.
As the property developer builds on the success of Tower 1, sales for Tower 2 are already underway, with strong interest from buyers. Interested buyers can also benefit from the government's BALAI BERDE program, which offers low-interest loans for green-certified developments.
