As part of AboitizLand’s innovation and sustainability thrust, precast panel technology will soon be adapted by its other residential developments across the country.
The real estate arm of the Aboitiz Group, recently celebrated the installation of the first precast concrete panels in the housing units in its seaside development, Seafront Residences in San Juan, Batangas. Partnering with Connova te Philippines, AboitizLand marked this milestone with a ceremony last May 5.
The move to use precast technology over traditional concrete hollow blocks is a significant milestone as AboitizLand continues in its thrust to innovate ways to bring more Filipinos home.
AboitizLand and Connovate made their partnership official in December 2021 to construct eco-friendly homes through Danish precast technology that uses high-strength concrete panels.
“The houses in Seafront Residences are designed to age gracefully, and these precast panels will reinforce houses against earthquakes and typhoons, making these homes withstand seaside living conditions. More importantly, this technology cuts the construction period by half making seaside living more attainable in a shorter period of time.” said David Rafael, AboitizLand president and chief executive officer (CEO).
According to Emma Imperial, Connovate Philippines’ president and CEO, the AboitizLand designer houses will not only be the symbol of style but of resilience as well.
“To stand the test of time and to be affordable over its lifecycle, new housing must be built with high structural integrity and energy efficiency. We need to ensure that today’s efforts to address the housing needs will be matched with sustainable and resilient communities.”
