Filigree continues to lead the way in building investment-worthy homes with focus on living experience and wellness through its flagship development, Botanika Nature Residences in Filinvest City, Alabang.
The pandemic has put sustainability and access to nature at the forefront. Now, more and more homeowners are opting to have homes that are healthy and as close to nature as possible.
At Botanika, aesthetic, functionality, and sustainability are seamlessly integrated into the building features to become more efficient, especially in the time of crisis. For one, the building utilizes energy and water-efficient fixtures to cut down on utility building costs.
This can be seen in the glass sun-roofed atrium, low flow faucets, dual flush toilets, to name a few.
All over the development, residents can also enjoy a better circulation of airflow, thanks to the lush and landscaped areas all over the development, from the atrium landscape, central gardens, and plant boxes along the hallways.
In this time of social distancing, the building’s single-loaded hallways ensure lesser chances for residents to come across each other.
To encourage sustainable means of transportation, the building provides bike racks and shower rooms, made specifically for cyclists.
These unique condominium living features garnered for Botanika a 4-star BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence Certification) rating. At least 70 percent of its total land area is dedicated to open space, resembling village living that usually features abundant spaces.
Further cementing its position as a frontrunner in green living, Botanika is strategically located at the most exclusive portion of Filinvest City, Alabang, the first and only township with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold in Neighborhood Development certification in the Philippines.
As a self-sustaining community, Botanika is a walkable garden city with easy access to all essentials like medical facilities, business establishments, shopping and commercial centers, and educational institutions.
A collaborative project of renowned designers Architecture International, Leandro V. Locsin Partners, AECOM Singapore, Miaja Design Group, and Periquet Galicia Inc. for unit space planning of the second tower, Botanika offers generous living spaces and well-curated amenities.
The move-in ready Tower 1 ranges from ±125 to 221 square meters (sq.m.) with two- to three-bedroom, while Tower 2, which is now on pre-selling, widens the variety, bringing into the mix, one-bedroom units at a generous size of ±72 sq.m., and four-bedroom bi-level units ranging from ±265 to 322 sq.m., complete with grand lanais that blur the lines between units and outdoors.
One of the significant features of Tower 2 is that each unit offers deeper lanais at 2.6 meters to allow a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
With Filinvest City, enjoying a compounded annual growth rate of more than 20 percent in the last 10 years, Botanika is also experiencing this advantage with its increase in capital value at 112 percent since its launch. In addition, the prevailing lease rate for Tower 1 starts from P135,000 and P200,000 for two- and three-bedroom units, respectively.
