MANILA, Philippines — The future is here for property giant Megaworld Corp. with the rollout this year of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered homes in partnership with global technology company Samsung.

Through the initiative, Megaworld is combining its expertise in real estate innovation with Samsung’s global leadership in AI-powered living.

Megaworld said it would leverage AI technology to deliver a new breed of pioneering residential developments that are more intuitive, responsive and aligned with modern lifestyles.

The company will commence the rollout in its select properties, beginning with Park McKinley West in Taguig.

Samsung, for its part, will integrate a comprehensive AI-powered ecosystem into the next-generation homes.

“Innovation is central to Megaworld’s vision of shaping future-ready communities. Through our AI-powered homes initiative, we are redefining residential living by creating intelligent spaces that enhance comfort, safety and sustainability across our townships,” Megaworld head of business innovation and transformation Francis Viernes said.

“This marks an important step in how we continue to elevate the living experience and set new standards for modern township developments,” he said.

Megaworld started the smart home revolution in the country nearly a decade ago, with its pioneering iTownships initiative, a program which was geared toward future-proofing its developments by integrating digital technology, design innovation and seamless connectivity into its master-planned communities.

The company said it is now taking that vision to the next level by integrating advanced AI technologies into its developments.

Megaworld’s AI-powered homes are expected to go beyond basic automation by leveraging the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, an advanced digital hub that serves as the backbone of the technology integration.

Through a single app, residents will be able to control and personalize their living spaces by setting automated “intelligent” routines based on time, weather, device status and user behavior.

Megaworld said the AI-powered homes are precision-engineered living spaces that integrate functions like intelligent climate control, adaptive lighting and voice-activated command centers.

Buyers of Megaworld residential condominiums can opt to have their spaces transformed into AI-powered homes by integrating various Samsung devices such as televisions, washing machines and air-conditioning units, as well as other AI-powered devices into the SmartThings platform.

“Despite being in its early stages, AI adoption is surging across Filipino households these days. This rapid integration is driven by everyday access through chatbots, virtual assistants, smart devices and online platforms,” Megaworld said.
