ARTHALAND’S grand event “Advancing Net Zero Cebu” celebrates two milestones for two of the country's most cutting edge sustainable buildings in Cebu City. The first is the completion of Cebu Exchange, the largest sustainable building outside Luzon. And the second is the unveiling of model units for Lucima, Arthaland's new luxury condominium development at the Cebu Business Park.

Arthaland welcomes guest to Cebu Exchange, an iconic landmark in the Cebu skyline and to the unveiling of the Lucima model units at the Advancing Net Zero event, the first face-to-face event after 3 years.

 Advancing Net Zero Cebu  

Now, more than ever, our Net Zero commitment is critical to the times. Artahaland is the first property developer in Asia to be a signatory to the World Green Building Council's Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment in 2020. 100% of their projects are registered and are on track for net zero carbon certification – this manifests their leadership in the decarbonization of the building and construction industry.

Cebu Exchange

With over 11 hectares of gross floor area and 5 stories of premier retail space, Cebu Exchange is the largest office development vying for net zero certification. It is designed and built to withstand natural calamities. The decarbonization of its operational energy is anticipated to reduce carbon emissions, equivalent to planting and growing 1 million trees over a 10-year period. The construction of Cebu Exchange is now virtually completed. The on-time handover of units to buyers, concurrent with their pre-pandemic schedule, reflects their commitment to stakeholders and investors.

Building envelope optimization and the use of double-glazed windows allow for better thermal and moisture insulation that leads to savings in energy consumption.

Lucima

Lucima is Arthaland's flagship residential condominium in the Cebu City, envisioned to be the first quadruplecertified high-rise residential development in the country. It has earned precertification for LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council. It is vying for WELL, EDGE, and BERDE certifications. The building foundation has been completed and basement 2 structural works are on-going.

Each unit in Lucima boasts a high floor-to-ceiling height of 2.9 meters. Carefully planned features will allow abundant light to penetrate inside the homes while preventing indoor heat gain.

One-Bedroom Unit. Each unit will have its own Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) which improves indoor air quality by bringing in fresh, filtered air while controlling the humidity for thermal comfort.

Lucima is also the first high-rise residential project vying for IFC’s EDGE Zero Carbon certification in Southern Philippines, reflecting Arthaland's commitment to raise the standards of residential developments. Their journey to net zero bridges the gap between a sustainable future and their most concrete contribution to today’s global call for climate action.

MANILA, Philippines, April 11, 2022 – Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), the Philippines’ leading developer of master-planned integrated tourism estates and a subsidiary of Megaworld, posted consolidated revenues of P5.0-billion for full-year 2021. Meanwhile, the company’s total net income increased by 15% year-on-year to P1.5-billion from P1.3-billion previously. The company’s income attributable to parent company’s shareholders likewise grew by 21% year-on-year to P1.3-billion from the previous year’s P1.1- billion.

Real estate sales contributed the lion’s share of revenues, registering a 3% increase to P3.7-billion as compared to the year before, in line with the expansion in construction activity. Real estate sales for the fourth quarter of 2021 alone came in at P1.0-billion, 49% higher than the same period last year.

In 2021, GERI continued to bank on the strong demand for leisure developments, with reservation sales growing by 25% year-on-year to P17.2-billion. Boracay Newcoast led the company’s property sales with P4.1-billion worth of projects sold in 2021. This was followed closely by Eastland Heights and Alabang West, which registered sales amounting to P3.6-billion and P3.4-billion, respectively. The rest of GERI’s offerings also registered strong demand with Arden Botanical Estate, Southwoods City, and Twin Lakes combining for P5.0-billion in sales during the year.

“For 2021, we continued to capitalize on the strong demand for properties in the provinces. Aside from the intrinsic attractiveness of owning a place that allows you to commune more closely with nature, the past couple of years also highlighted the potential of owning real estate as an investment. In fact, the underlying land values for our offerings continued to appreciate at a brisk pace in spite of the pandemic,” says Monica T. Salomon, president, GERI.

On the other hand, the company’s leasing revenues declined by 34% year-on-year to P409-million as consumer confidence remained subdued for the majority of 2021.

Revenue from hotel operations also declined by 27% to P146-million in 2021 from P201-million in the previous year as a result of prevailing travel restrictions. However, the relaxing of restrictions in the fourth quarter of 2021 led to a resurgence in bookings, resulting to a 231% increase in quarterly hotel revenue to P78-million versus the preceding quarter.
