Landco achieves six accolades for sustainable development

ANCHORED on its strengthened positioning as a Metro Pacific Investments Corp. subsidiary, Landco Pacific Corp. (Landco) was distinguished for raising the bar higher in premium resort living as it received six highly-coveted awards in 2023.

Landco was recently named “Asia’s Best Performing Company” at the prestigious Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards 2023 in a gala dinner held at the Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur. Landco also attained the Best Leisure Real Estate (Resort Estate) Developer of The Year in the 2023 Global Economic Awards staged in Dubai; 2023 Real Estate Asia Award at Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore; Best Luxury Leisure Projects Developer in the 2023 Global Business Outlook Awards at the Conrad Hotel in Dubai; and Most Sustainable Developer and Best Real Estate Developer in the 2023 International Investment Awards in London.

These merits came after the Silver Award of Landco BeachTowns CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach) for Outstanding Development in Luzon – Masterplan in the 2023 Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards by the Philippine chapter of the International Real Estate Federation, which recognizes properties that best embody excellence in all real estate disciplines.

The awards are a testament to Landco’s unwavering commitment to corporate excellence in premium and leisure real estate development. Situated in key leisure and tourist destinations in the country, Landco’s latest development of BeachTowns offers master-planned and mixed-use communities; unique and sought-after resort amenities; and sustainable features.

“The awards given to Landco also recognize our emphasis on sustainability. We don’t only pay lip service to it. Sustainability is very personal to me and I do my best to embed it into our corporate DNA, not because we have to, but because it’s the right thing to do. Through the development of Landco BeachTowns, our focus is to leave a lasting and sustainable legacy for the next generation,” stated Landco Pacific Corp. President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano.

Creating long-term sustainable value for its developments of BeachTowns in Batangas, the 15-hectare CaSoBe and 23-hectare Club Laiya are both LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered with double-piping system for water recycling measures. Permeable and scenic tree-lined walkways and bike lanes in these Resort Estates help reduce carbon footprint.

Also, Millennial Resorts, the hospitality arm of Landco at the BeachTowns, achieved the very first EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification for resort hospitality in the country, with its sustainable accommodation of Crusoe Cabins at CaSoBe.
