ARTHALAND and Mitsui Fudosan Break Ground on Sondris, a Premium Green Residential Development in Makati
Makati City’s skyline is set to welcome a new landmark in sustainable luxury living. ARTHALAND, a leading Philippine developer known for its green and sustainable projects, has officially broken ground on Sondris — a premium residential development in the heart of Makati, built in partnership with global real estate giant Mitsui Fudosan (Asia) Ltd.
A Powerhouse Partnership
The groundbreaking ceremony, held in June 2026, marked a significant milestone for both companies. ARTHALAND brings its expertise in green building and sustainable design, while Mitsui Fudosan contributes decades of international experience in premium real estate development across Asia and beyond. The collaboration signals strong foreign investor confidence in the Philippine property market and in Makati’s enduring appeal as the country’s premier central business district.
Sondris represents ARTHALAND’s continued commitment to advancing its green residential portfolio. The company has been eyeing approximately P12 billion in revenue from the luxury development, underscoring the project’s scale and ambition. The development is also expected to pursue multiple green certifications, reinforcing its position as one of the most environmentally conscious residential projects in Metro Manila.
Innovation in the Home-Buying Experience
Beyond its sustainability features, Sondris is also pioneering new ways for buyers to experience the property. ARTHALAND has introduced a virtual reality (VR) showcase for the development, allowing prospective homeowners to tour units and amenities from the comfort of their homes or from anywhere in the world. This tech-forward approach reflects the changing dynamics of real estate marketing, catering to both local and international buyers who expect a seamless, digital-first experience.
The VR showcase is part of a broader effort to level up the buyer experience at Sondris, making it easier for investors and end-users to visualize their future homes, explore floor plans, and understand the development’s unique green features before construction is even completed.
Makati’s Enduring Appeal
The investment in Sondris is a testament to Makati’s continued status as the Philippines’ most sought-after address for high-end residential living. With its world-class dining, shopping, business hubs, and proximity to key government and financial institutions, Makati remains unmatched in its ability to attract both local affluent buyers and expatriates.
Mitsui Fudosan’s entry into the Makati market through this partnership is also seen as a strong vote of confidence in the city’s long-term growth trajectory. The Japanese developer is known for its meticulous attention to quality and design, and its involvement is expected to elevate the standards of residential development in the area even further.
What to Expect
While full details of Sondris are still being unveiled, the development is expected to feature modern architectural design, energy-efficient systems, and premium amenities befitting its positioning as a luxury green residence. ARTHALAND has hinted at features such as green communal spaces, natural ventilation, and sustainable materials throughout the property.
With construction now underway, Sondris is anticipated to be one of the most closely watched residential developments in Makati for the coming years. It represents not just a new place to live, but a new standard for what sustainable urban living can look like in the Philippines.
