Experience Filigree’s flagship expression for luxury living at Botanika Nature Residences, thoughtfully placed in the globally renowned Filinvest City.
In luxury real estate, foresight is often the most valuable advantage.
Long before the accolades and market recognition, exceptional developments begin with a conviction about place. For Filigree, that conviction led to the creation of Botanika Nature Residences in Filinvest City, a decision rooted in the belief that true luxury is not defined by a residence alone, but by the quality and vision of the city that surrounds it.
Today, that belief has been affirmed on the global stage.
Filinvest City, the 244-hectare garden central business district in Alabang, was recently awarded Gold in the Master Plan category at the 2026 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards, becoming the first development in the Philippines to ever receive the prestigious distinction. For Filigree, the recognition validates a long-held understanding: that Botanika Nature Residences belongs in a master-planned district designed for enduring relevance, sustainability, and an elevated quality of life.
Created for a Refined Standard of Urban Living
When Botanika Nature Residences was designed, the objective was never simply to create another luxury residential project.
The aspiration was to create a bespoke flagship residential address that would reflect Filigree’s tenet of embracing distinction while benefiting from the strengths of a thoughtfully planned urban environment.
Filinvest City offered precisely that opportunity.
As one of the country’s most established master-planned communities, the district was astutely designed around principles that have only grown more valuable with time: walkability, connectivity, green open spaces, and a balance between residential, commercial, and lifestyle destinations. Long before these qualities became widely sought after, Filigree recognized their importance in shaping the long-term value and desirability of a luxury residence.
The recent FIABCI World Prix Gold award serves as international recognition of the very ideals that informed Botanika’s location and development from the beginning.
Rather than maximizing density, Botanika Nature Residences dedicates 70 percent of its land area to gardens and open spaces, creating a residential experience centered on wellness and connection to nature. The result is a lifestyle and rhythm that feels markedly distinct from the typical urban condominium. “One of the core values of this project is the ability to live an environmentally ethical life,” shared Andy Locsin, of architect-of-record Leandro V. Locsin Partners. “I think that is one of the aspects that the clients are looking for.”
This commitment to sustainability has earned Botanika a 4-Star BERDE Certification and a 3-Star Health and Well-being Certification from the Philippine Green Building Council, making it the first residential development in the Philippines to receive both distinctions. More recently, Two Botanika was recognized with the 5-Star Best Sustainable Residential Development Philippines award at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2026–2027.
A Collaboration of Global Talent
To bring this vision to life, Filigree assembled an internationally respected team of experts.
Leandro V. Locsin Partners led the architectural direction of the development, while Architecture International, now SmithGroup, conceived the iconic leaf-inspired structure designed to maximize natural light and ventilation. Landscape planning by AECOM Singapore integrated greenery as a defining element of daily life, while Miaja Design Group and Periquet Galicia Inc. contributed thoughtfully crafted interior and space-planning solutions that elevate the residential experience.
Together, these collaborations demonstrate Filigree’s commitment to creating a residence distinguished by both design excellence and enduring livability.
Where Vision Creates Value
For Filigree, Filinvest City’s recent FIABCI World Gold distinction is more than a celebration of a master plan. It is a powerful affirmation of the strategic decision to place its flagship luxury development within a district built for long-term success.
The performance of Botanika Nature Residences reflects the impact of that decision. The value of Botanika Tower 1, now ready for occupancy, has more than doubled since its launch, while Two Botanika continues to build on the development’s established legacy. These milestones underscore the advantages of investing in a residence that has steadily taken shape with clarity and intent.
In many ways, Botanika Nature Residences represents the residential embodiment of what Filinvest City has achieved as a master-planned district. Both were guided by a belief in creating places that remain relevant, resilient, and desirable over time.
As the world now recognizes Filinvest City among the finest master-planned communities globally, Filigree takes pride in having seen that potential early, and in creating a flagship residence that allows homeowners to experience the rewards of that award-winning vision every day.
