MANILA, Philippines — As Metro Manila’s southern corridor gains momentum, a once-understated pocket of the city is emerging as a destination for both innovation and refined living. The recent announcement of the planned PLDT’s large-scale tech campus in Filinvest City’s Southgate District reinforces the township’s position as a forward-looking business and lifestyle hub.

A market ready to shift

As Filinvest City’s Southgate District transforms into a full-fledged innovation hub, residential demand in the city is expected to rise accordingly. The announcement of PLDT’s plans for a tech campus is widely regarded as a step toward more growth in Filinvest City, bringing not only jobs but also businesses, schools and supporting infrastructure.

The scale of the investment is significant. PLDT’s plans mark one of the most substantial private-sector developments in Metro South in recent memory. However, beyond its implications for connectivity and commerce, it signals a shift in residential demand, particularly among executives seeking to live near their workplace, without compromising on quality of life.

“PLDT’s pivotal move to Filinvest City is a resounding validation of Metro South’s emergence as the next premier business and lifestyle center,” says Daphne Sanchez, the head of Filigree. “We are proud to shape a future where luxury living seamlessly integrates with dynamic opportunity right here in the South.”

A new kind of urban living

What sets Filigree apart in this environment is timing. While other developers are just beginning to acquire land and conceptualize offerings, Filigree stands as a true pioneer in shaping the Metro South. As one of the first movers in the district, Filigree has turned foresight into form with projects built, communities formed and a development philosophy aligned with what the next generation of homeowners is looking for. It has established a portfolio that reflects a changing definition of luxury: less about location alone, and more about livability.

The focus across Filigree’s properties is consistent: walkability, greenery and exclusivity, balanced by design decisions that privilege the end-user. These are not merely investment units but homes, crafted for individuals and families looking to establish long-term roots in a neighborhood designed to evolve with them.

Where sustainability meets subtle luxury

In contrast to the density and congestion of older business districts, Filigree’s communities in Filinvest City offer something increasingly rare—space, greenery and thoughtful design. The brand’s long-term focus on sustainability and craftsmanship positions it well in a market where discerning buyers are no longer simply seeking square footage, but an entire lifestyle.

Botanika Nature Residences, located within the estate’s lush green corridor, exemplifies this design principle. With ready-for-occupancy units and its preselling second tower, Two Botanika, it offers generously sized residences in a low-density vertical village—capturing the charm of village living with the ease of condo life. It holds a 4-star BERDE rating and a Health and Well-being certification from the Philippine Green Building Council.

Just nearby, 1001 Parkway offers a distinct, biophilic living environment within a LEED Gold-certified neighborhood. Directly linked to Filinvest City’s parks system, it provides access to top-tier amenities—medical, business, education, retail, dining and entertainment. Its design-forward architecture defines an iconic lifestyle just as exceptional, bringing residents closer to nature without leaving the city.

The promise of a city reimagined

Filigree offers well-designed, sustainable homes that appeal to company executives and professionals who value both comfort and purpose. Its developments reflect a clear understanding of how preferences are evolving in this rapidly growing locale.

Filigree’s properties in Filinvest City reflect a global trend: luxury real estate is no longer defined by spectacle, but by intentional living. In a landscape being redefined by innovation and infrastructure, Filigree’s communities offer more than convenience—they offer belonging, quality and quiet distinction.
