Southlinks Estate is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable luxury property development south of Metro Manila, aiming to set a new standard in the market with its eco-focused design.

In a statement on Monday, Aug. 25, Architect Cathy Saldaña, who is leading the estate’s master plan, noted that sustainability at Southlinks is not merely a “buzzword."

She said that the estate’s design focuses on creating long-term value for investors and residents by prioritizing “health, wellness, family, and about creating pride of place.”

The 34-hectare township, a project of Kevin and Shirley Wong’s Heights Realty Inc., dedicates nearly 60 percent of its land to open spaces, including parks and tree-lined walkways.

This eco-conscious approach is designed to resonate with the growing number of global investors who consider environmental and social governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions.

Rick Santos, chairman and CEO of Santos Knight Frank, noted that the estate has the necessary elements to become the next “Forbes Park” within the next decade.

Santos, whose experience includes work on London’s Canary Wharf and Bonifacio Global City, said the project could replicate the success of other premier districts if supported by “a dream, if you have visionary people like the Wong family to get behind these projects, they do happen.”

The development is strategically located just 10 minutes from Alabang Town Center and is accessible via major thoroughfares, including Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway, Cavite–Laguna Expressway, South Luzon Expressway, and the Skyway.

The estate offers lot sizes ranging from 400 to 1,200 square meters. A 1.4-hectare clubhouse with sustainable features will serve as the community's central hub.

Construction is scheduled to allow homeowners to begin building their homes by 2026.

Santos added that luxury housing remains a resilient asset, even in volatile markets, noting that “real estate is steady, it’s boring, it’s a long-term hold.”
