Hartwood Village is the first of two distinctive, low-density projects that will bring Meadowcrest’s ’15-Minute Community’ concept to life
With over five decades of expertise as a robust real estate developer under its belt, Federal Land, Inc. has carved out a prestigious place for itself in the industry. But the company isn’t resting on its many laurels.
Committed to expanding its portfolio beyond vertical property, the realty moguls—the real estate development arm of the Ty family’s GT Capital Holdings Inc.—announced it latest project under its Federal Land Communities line.
Bringing masterplanned townships to life
Meadowcrest in Biñan, Laguna is a 48-hectare masterplanned township that, when fully developed, will offer a distinctive way of life that is intimate yet complete, striking a beautiful balance between a vibrant lifestyle and verdant open spaces. The project is poised to further elevate Laguna’s dynamic growth story, adding modernity and sophistication to the bustling locale.
“With over 50 years of solid real estate experience and expertise, we are leveraging our strengths to re-imagine and revitalize our existing township properties and create new and future-ready developments. Our aim is clear: to create fully-integrated and interactive townships that are poised to stand the test of time, offering enduring value, for generations to come. We want to encourage residents to embrace a lifestyle that prioritizes a holistic living experience and warm community interaction through well-thought-out amenities that promote convergence and an abundance of life. Every corner was carefully designed, with delightful human-centric features, and every component will be thoughtfully selected. Our developments will incorporate well-curated retails strips, as well as plenty of recreational amenities and parklets where families can create new and lasting memories. Today, we stand on the threshold of a new chapter, as we shine the spotlight on our latest endeavor, Meadowcrest in Biñan, Laguna,” Alfred V. Ty, Federal Land’s Chairman and CEO said at the project’s media briefing held on April 22 at The Conservatory of The Peninsula Manila.
Enhanced connectivity that fuels growth
Biñan’s accessibility receives a significant boost from a plethora of infrastructure enhancements, ensuring seamless mobility for its residents. The recently inaugurated Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) serves as a vital conduit, seamlessly connecting the envisioned vibrant community of Meadowcrest to the bustling economic epicenter of Metro Manila and leisure destinations such as Tagaytay.
Amidst this backdrop of progress, Biñan emerges as a hotspot for diverse investment opportunities. From the burgeoning presence of manufacturing firms to the proliferation of shopping centers, iconic landmarks, and other attractions, Biñan solidifies its status as a coveted address for discerning investors.
Unlocking opportunities in lively Laguna
As Laguna surges ahead as a key economic powerhouse in Luzon, its rapid ascent as a premier growth hub cannot be overstated. In 2022, it emerged as the top contributor to the gross domestic product (GDP) among the 82 provinces, underscoring its significance on the national stage. Within this landscape of progress, Biñan stands out as a beacon of potential and vitality.
Buzzing with vibrant energy and limitless possibilities, Biñan has become a focal point of growth. Federal Land’s decision to extend its footprint into this dynamic city is a strategic move, deeply rooted in Biñan’s trajectory of prosperity and development.
Positioned within the already thriving Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay growth corridor, Biñan is part of an even larger area of growth and progress. From industrial parks like Laguna Technopark and Laguna International Industrial Park, as well as the largest public market hub in CALABARZON, to busy retail destinations like Solenad NUVALI and the upcoming SM Yulo Premier, this zone brims with economic vitality. Moreover, top-notch medical facilities such as The Medical City and high-standing educational institutions, like De La Salle University – Laguna Campus and Brent International School Manila call the locale their home.
“That’s the beauty of this property. Not only is it physically beautiful, but it’s surrounded by so much development, already. Not only is it so accessible, especially with CALAX, everything around it is already so developed, as well,” Thomas F. Mirasol, Federal Land President and COO, pointed out at the briefing.
Elevating quality of life with the ‘15-Minute Community’ vision
Imagine a community where everything you need is just a short stroll, drive, or bike ride away. That’s the essence of the “15-Minute Community Concept” in real estate: it is a lifestyle centered around accessibility to jobs, dining options, green spaces, social connections, and more, all within a 15-minute radius. With Meadowcrest, this imagination becomes a reality.
Inspired by the principles of New Urbanism and championed by figures like Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, this urban planning approach offers a blueprint for creating cities that are not only more sustainable, by way of reducing their carbon footprint from C02 emissions, but are also healthier. Plus, these communities are typically more connected and convivial, given increased time and opportunity for interaction .
Meadowcrest brings this visionary concept to reality, redefining the way residents experience urban living. Here, essential amenities, recreational areas, and a thriving community ambiance converge within easy reach. Moreover, the development will also focus on hitting a multigenerational market, with facilities for all ages to enjoy, as well as pet-friendly amenities for the furry members of the family.
The hygge-lifestyle lives at Hartwood Village
As the first of two exclusive communities that will rise within Meadowcrest, Hartwood Village, will feature an 11.3-hectare horizontal residential development that blends the tranquil allure of suburban living with seamless connectivity and urban conveniences. The inaugural residential area will offer all the conveniences of urban living in an oasis-like, suburban setting. Hartwood will be officially launched next month, with turnover set for 2027 1stQ.
Inspired by the Danish concept of hygge, Hartwood will be a low-density walkable neighborhood that effortlessly integrates with its lush surroundings, creating spaces that invite rest and relaxation in an “outdoor living room” setting, melding comfort, coziness, and lushness. Divided into five clusters, Hartwood will be limited to only 110 prime lots, ranging in size from 300 to 542 square meters. This makes for exclusivity, intimacy, sustainability, and increased security.
Additionally, Hartwood’s streets have been designed in such a way so as to promote ease of circulation, within the cluster, as well as road safety for its residents.
Crafting timeless communities for enduring enjoyment
With a legacy spanning over half a century, Federal Land’s journey into crafting multigenerational modern townships tailored for today’s lifestyle marks a seamless evolution rooted in the company’s steadfast dedication to pioneering innovation and setting benchmarks of excellence. Theirs is a mission that extends beyond mere construction; it’s about fostering vibrant communities that stand the test of time, enriching lives for generations to come.
