“We are always proud to showcase how Filinvest City is a sustainable community. Here, both residents and those who work in the various offices and buildings will benefit from the sustainability features. For individuals, they will benefit from the ample green spaces and pocket parks, so they have a place to relax and enjoy nature.” said Don-Don S. Ubaldo, Filinvest Alabang Inc. First Vice President for Townships. “On the other hand, for businesses who locate in a sustainable city, they could expect their enterprises to grow with the ideal
location: while land value also increases over time.”
The community is designed to be walkable, convenient, safe, and economical. It has wide sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, and open spaces. It also means that groceries, parks, schools, gyms, etc. are within walking distance. One can have more time with the family as there is no need to be stuck in traffic. For longer distances, the city also has the 360 Eco Loop vehicles, a fully-integrated electric-powered public transport – by reducing reliance on fossil fuel-powered cars, the community helps in cutting air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, so going around is green and easy!
Filinvest City is also proud of its own sewage treatment facility, which enables recycled water to be used to water the city's landscape. The largest district cooling system in the Philippines is also located in Filinvest City, and it helps Northgate Cyberzone's offices save up to 40% on energy expenses.
Filinvest City also features a 2.8 MWp solar rooftop solution at Filinvest Land Inc.’s Festival Mall, this is in partnership with Filinvest-ENGIE Renewable Energy Enterprise, Inc. (FREE), a joint venture company of FDC Utilities, Inc., the power utility arm of Filinvest Development Corp (FDC), and ENGIE Services Philippines. This solar panel rooftop will supply about 28 percent of the mall’s peak demand and save close to 41,000 tons of CO2, an equivalent to removing approximately 9,000 cars off the roads of Metro Manila.
