How sustainability guides every aspect of Southlinks Estate's master plan

- RODMILL G. LOPEZ

Many aspire to live close to nature without losing the convenience of the city. Southlinks Estate promises that balance in Las Piñas City, where Height Realty Inc. recently unveiled a 34-hectare township positioned as a prime address with sustainability as its defining feature.

Arch. Cathy Saldaña, president and CEO of PDP+ Architects and the project's local architect and master planner, described the estate as "one of the last gems in the metropolis" for its rare size, location, and sustainability-driven design. She highlighted its accessibility to Metro Manila while staying connected to the South, and stressed that its core values—family and community, nature, and future generations—are rooted in sustainability.

Joining her in the event were Kevin Wong, president and CEO of Height Realty Inc.; Rick Santos, chairman and CEO of Santos Knight Frank; and PJ Garcia, principal and managing partner of Grow Capital Partners. They shared perspectives on the project while also offering insights on the evolving intersections of real estate and artificial intelligence.
