Best Sustainable Residential Development Asia Pacific

2024 - 2025

Landco Pacific Corporation’s newest sustainable beachfront residential condominium, The Spinnaker, is an awe-inspiring iconic structure that draws inspiration from the yacht’s main sail in the direction of the wind. This eye-catching development is located at the 23-hectare BeachTowns Club Laiya in the leisure and tourist destination of San Juan, Batangas. The Spinnaker is designed to integrate eco-friendly technology, aiming to achieve EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification from the World Bank. The development seeks at least 20% savings on water, energy, and embodied materials, incorporating features such as a double-piped waterline system for greywater recycling, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and solar panels to reduce its
carbon footprint.

Being part of Club Laiya, a LEED-registered development, The Spinnaker is in a resort estate that promotes sustainable living with permeable walkways, tree-lined paths, a beach promenade, bicycle lanes and strong estate-wide Wi-Fi for a Work from the Beach (WFB) setup. The 247-unit condominium is designed to maximise natural lighting and ventilation, taking advantage of Tayabas Bay’s sea breeze and the surrounding greenery of Mt. Daguldol.

The Spinnaker along with the sprawling Resort Estate of Club Laiya are the first in the country to use a double-piping system in a beachfront development, with greywater storage and an effluent treatment system to support irrigation and toilet flushing. Solar panels and EV charging stations further enhance sustainability efforts. Despite sustainability not yet commanding a premium in the Philippine market, Landco Pacific Corporation absorbs the additional costs, prioritising environmental responsibility over profit margins.

As a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Corporation, Landco Pacific aligns with its parent company’s commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Through environmentally responsible developments, Landco aims to create communities that are inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable, ensuring a lasting legacy for future generations.

Architecturally, The Spinnaker is designed to blend with its coastal surroundings. Its terraced structure allows for panoramic views of Tayabas Bay and Mt. Daguldol. The building utilises lightweight, heat-resistant materials to minimise air-conditioning needs, and an onsite helipad provides convenient access for residents and visitors.

Residential options range from 34-37 sqm studio units to 315 sqm three-bedroom bi-level units, with prices starting at Php 11.1M. All units feature inverter appliances for energy efficiency, while select units offer floor-to-ceiling glass walls and private balconies, offering an expansive view and an added private corner for relaxation. Other hospitality amenities include meeting rooms, a fitness centre, a sky bar, and a sky ballroom, making The Spinnaker an attractive choice for investors and homeowners alike.

A two- to three-hour drive from Metro Manila, The Spinnaker offers a relaxed yet modern lifestyle. Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV), the hospitality arm of Landco Pacific, manages the hospitality and leisure amenities at Club Laiya from the slipway for small boats and jet skis, a Beach Club to Captain Barbozza restaurant and bar. LLV also provides unconventional accommodations such as Cocoons pod-like rooms and Camperisti camper vans.

LLV offers owners and investors of The Spinnaker, the option to avail of its property management for short-term, long-term lease, ensuring rental income and value appreciation of their investment
