Living planet-friendly in The Linear

MANILA, Philippines - Do property buyers have the “green” choice when it comes to living in the city? You can go green, says Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI), with its newest master-planned, mixed-use residential and commercial development called The Linear.

Set within the business environs of Makati City, the L-shaped towers offer an eco-friendly option to prospective condominium owners.

“We are one of the few developments at present that promote specific ecological features,” said The Linear vice president Julian Concepcion, touting The Linear’s eco-roof technology as Filinvest’s response to the growing concern on the environment and the needs of clients to lead planet-friendly lives.

Located atop the covered court shared by two 23-story towers, the eco-roof boasts various ornamental grasses, plants and trees aimed at suppressing noise and reducing the “heat island effect” prevalent in developments.

Concepcion added that this technology “reflects eco responsibility” and greatly improves air quality by filtering pollutants, minimizing UV and temperature impact, and cutting energy consumption.

The Linear joins the green movement with its other eco-friendly features.

“Encouraging use of sustainable materials such as urea-formaldehyde-free wood, the buildings also allow natural light and cross-ventilation,” Concepcion said.

Moreover, a fully integrated recycling system will be set in place to promote zero waste. This system ensures that all materials are recycled back into nature in a manner that protects human health and the environment.

For future residents, residing closer to the heart of the city is seen as yet another clear-cut, effective way of cutting down one’s gas consumption. Because of The Linear’s centralized location to the business and lifestyle hubs of Makati, future residents can easily work, shop and enjoy a more convenient lifestyle.

Bounded by Yakal, Mayapis and Malugay Streets in Makati City, The Linear is approximately five minutes away from the Central Business District (CBD). It primarily targets members of the booming Makati workforce and upwardly mobile families who prefer the convenience of condo living.

 “We noted that more and more of these young professionals, managers, and newlywed couples are moving closer to the heart of the CBD and its schools, world-class hospitals, malls and nightlife district,” he said.

Offering amenities like covered courts, a library, gym, swimming pool and an observation deck, The Linear is also poised to house ground-floor commercial establishments.

The Linear is a development that truly promises healthy living and a balanced lifestyle while minimizing damaging impact on the environment.
