Federal Land is collaborating with Japanese developer, Nomura real estate, to build the Seasons Residences, together with retail giant, Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings, a four-tower Japanese-inspired residential development at Federal Land’s Grand Central Park in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). The project, which will be home to the first Mitsukoshi Mall in the country, promises an innovative and technology-led home that elevates the lifestyles of a growing population of discerning buyers. The Seasons Residences benefits from Nomura’s expertise on design efficiency. Among other features, this translates to maximized storage spaces within the units, clean technology (where each unit will have tiles that minimize excess humidity, unpleasant odors and harmful substances in the air), and safety (the use of visco-elastic coupling dampers to reduce wind and earthquake vibrations). “In Japan, we experience a lot of natural disasters such as earthquakes, and there is a great need for safety among consumers,” explained Eiji Kutsukake, Nomura chairman. “The Philippines also faces the threat of earthquakes, so we would like to spread the importance of safety to the market by using a Japanese earthquake vibration technology that can protect the buildings from, not just earthquakes, but typhoons as well.”
