Greenfield Development Corp. received a special award from the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) Region 4A Cabalarzon for its dedication to crafting sustainable master-planned communities that strike a careful balance between development and green open spaces. The recognition underscores Greenfield’s commitment to creating communities that prioritize environmental considerations alongside progress.
DHSUD, formerly known as the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), operates as the primary government agency overseeing housing, human settlement, and urban development. Established on February 14, 2019, under Republic Act 11201, the department plays a crucial role in shaping the nation’s urban landscape.
HLURB, the precursor to DHSUD, has provided technical assistance to local government units for comprehensive land use plans. Its responsibilities also include regulating housing, land development, homeowners associations, and resolving related disputes, all while maintaining a commitment to competence and integrity.
The recent award ceremony highlighted GDC’s noteworthy contributions to urban development, acknowledging the company’s ability to foster thriving communities with an environmentally conscious approach. Specific to Greenfield City, the distinctive positioning of “the city within a park” makes it a trailblazer in sustainable urban development and was solidified by this special recognition.
In a landscape where developers prioritized maximizing spaces, Greenfield City in Sta. Rosa, Laguna stood out by recognizing the essential value of open spaces. During the incubation stage, it paved the way for the emergence of Greenfield City–a sprawling 400-hectare mixed-use development following a park living concept. This comprehensive development encompasses residential complexes, corporate and BPO offices, and lifestyle centers.
