Arthaland Corporation (ARTHALAND) is the only real estate developer in the Philippines with a residential and commercial portfolio that is 100 percent certified sustainable by local and global organizations. It has made its mark in the industry by pioneering the best-in-class properties that meet both international and local standards.
To further elevate its commitment to sustainability and long-term value creation, ARTHALAND and Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) recently entered into a joint venture to develop Sondris—a premium, multi-certified sustainable residential condominium set to rise along Arnaiz Avenue in Legazpi Village, Makati City.
This collaboration brings together ARTHALAND and Mitsui Fudosan (Asia), the regional arm of Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., one of Japan’s leading publicly listed real estate groups with assets totaling around $62 billion (¥9.8 trillion as of December 2024). The development reflects a partnership between two best-in-class real estate companies united by shared commitments to sustainability, green building, and enduring value. ARTHALAND leads the project's development and operations, complemented by Mitsui Fudosan’s global expertise in design, engineering, and asset stewardship.
A collaboration that thrives and inspires
Mitsui Fudosan has long championed mixed-use neighborhood developments that blend offices, retail, logistics, hospitality, and residential spaces across Japan. Its reach extends well beyond its home market, with the Mitsui Fudosan Group active in key cities across North America, Europe, China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Australia, and India, driving growth through the continual evolution of neighborhood creation.
Mitsui Fudosan extends its appreciation for the collaboration with ARTHALAND, noting that the partnership reflects its shared vision for excellence and sustainability. Guided by this commitment, he highlighted Sondris as one of the pioneering residential developments in the Philippines to pursue multiple prestigious green certifications—underscoring the company’s dedication to sustainability and future-ready communities.
“Together, we aspire to deliver a landmark project that harmonizes world-class standards with local insight, creating a destination designed to endure and inspire for generations to come,” said Daijiro Eguchi, managing director of Mitsui Fudosan (Asia).
ARTHALAND likewise emphasized the significance of the collaboration, reaffirming its commitment to certified sustainability as it expands its portfolio of responsible developments into one of Makati’s established districts.
“We are honored to collaborate with Mitsui Fudosan to bring Sondris to life. By combining ARTHALAND’s deep local experience with a global perspective and Mitsui Fudosan’s distinct strength in truly people-focused neighborhood creation and global expertise, we created a development that delivers durability, functionality, and a new benchmark for refined living in the heart of Makati,” said Jaime C. González, vice chairman and president of ARTHALAND.
Global standard in sustainable urban living
Like the other ARTHALAND developments, Sondris targets to achieve the highest sustainability and wellness standards from both local and global organizations. It aims to become multi-certified, targeting LEED, WELL, EDGE, and BERDE certifications from the US Green Building Council, International Well Building Institute, the International Finance Corporation, and the Philippine Green Building Council, respectively.
It offers a rare balance of cultural richness, business connectivity, and urban convenience. Located along Arnaiz Avenue, it provides immediate access to EDSA and the Skyway, seamlessly connecting residents to the metro’s key business and lifestyle destinations. The address also affords unobstructed views of San Lorenzo Village.
Inspired by Japanese sensibilities, the development brings together refined architecture, wellness, and environmental stewardship to create homes shaped by intention and balance. Designed by the internationally renowned architectural firm AEDAS, the 37-story tower features 252 thoughtfully designed residences, each crafted to maximize natural light, ventilation, and comfort.
Sondris represents a collaboration between two like-minded, world-class quality real estate companies, united by shared values in sustainability, green building, and long-term value creation. Together, they are not only shaping a landmark residential development in Makati but also setting a new standard for environmentally responsible, future-ready urban living. By combining global expertise with local insight, Sondris exemplifies a commitment to creating homes and communities that endure, inspire, and enhance quality of life for generations to come.
