I-Land launches sustainable communities amid pandemic

DeSPITe the economic downturn in the Philippines due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, independent real estate player ISOC Land ( I- Land) remains optimistic for the real estate market and pushes through with its scheduled launches this year of new residential communities geared toward sustainable living.

I- Land is the property arm of ISOC Holdings, a fast- growing Filipino conglomerate founded and chaired by construction leader and innovator Michael Cosiquien. The company ’ s maiden residential condominium development, I- Land Residences Sucat in Parañaque City, was launched in February 2020 and reported a strong uptake despite the pandemic, selling out all of its Tower 1 single- bedroom units.

According to Jesus Chua Jr., president of ISOC Holdings, the consequences of Covid-19 as a public health crisis have only highlighted the benefits of sustainable living that are able to directly address the emerging needs of homebuyers in this new normal.

I- Land Residences Sucat is a LeeD- certified development, composed of six mid-rise buildings across two hectares of prime property south of Metro Manila. In line with its promise of “Home of the Future,” as much as 65 percent of its land area is devoted to open spaces as part of its orientation toward sustainability. Other principal features include ventilated open corridors with natural lighting, adaptive reuse of rainwater for landscaping and the use of energy-efficient light fixtures.

On the back of rosy prospects from I-Land Residences Sucat’s launch, the company is set to follow through with a similar masterplanned residential condominium development in the prime district of Cloverleaf in Quezon City.
