Local developer Arthaland has topped off the first tower of Una Apartments, the country’s first multi-certified mid-market residential development in Biñan, Laguna.

“Access to world-class, sustainable products should be for everyone and should not be limited to the luxury and upscale market segments. In executing our plans to enter the mid-market segment, we ensure that we maintain our leadership presence and that we design our product offerings with the same quality and sustainability standards for which Arthaland is known for,” Jaime González, Arthaland vice chairman and president, said.

Energy efficient

Una Apartments offers spacious studio and one-bedroom units with its high floor-to-ceiling height of 2.6 meters. Rooms are equipped with energy-efficient air-conditioning systems and lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures that saves about 20 percent of water and energy.

Each has operable windows that provide natural ventilation and optimize natural daylight. All units are airtight to prevent sound and odor transfer between walls.

The Dedicated Outdoor Air System assures good indoor air quality with commercial-grade MERV filters and the presence of a Carbon Monoxide Monitor. The floors are made with Stone Polymer Composite, making it more durable, water and scratch-resistant, and easier to clean. Una Apartments will have its own Potager Garden where residents can access healthy and organic produce.

“With the success of Tower 1, we have started selling Tower 2 which is also experiencing very strong demand. Interested buyers should check out the government’s BALAI BERDE program to avail themselves of low-interest loans specifically for green-certified projects like Una Apartments,” Oliver Chan, Arthaland senior vice president and chief sustainability officer, said.

Interested buyers may loan up to 90 percent of the appraised value not exceeding P6 million with a low fixed interest rate (as low as 3.0 percent) for as long as a 30-year loan term.

Green community

Una Apartments is part of the 8.1-hectare master-planned community of Sevina Park that holds the distinction of being the first and only development in Southeast Asia to achieve Platinum certification under the LEED for Neighborhood Development and LEED for Homes categories. It is also the first to receive the BERDE Districts 5-Star rating.

Sevina Park is easily accessible via the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) and in close proximity to popular schools, medical institutions and industrial estates.

Una Apartments Tower 1 will be done and ready for turnover Q4 of 2026. It is on-track to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the U.S. Green Building Council, WEL (WELL Building Standard), EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), and BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) certifications.
