Leading developer of sustainable real estate properties Damosa Land, Inc (DLI) is eyeing to launch in May 2024 a subdivision that will showcase the developer’s sustainable initiatives.
To rise soon in a five-hectare property located on Libby Road in Puan, Davao City, Kahi Estates is DLI’s inaugural agri-residence that champions wellness and embraces multigenerational living incorporating modern Filipino architecture.
It will be an open lot subdivision with only 42 lots available for sale. The lot area will range from 550 to 600 square meters.
“We will be building a model house. Not necessarily for sale to all of our buyers but we wanted to build a house that would be a showcase to our homeowners as to what they can do in their lots,” said DLI president Ricardo “Cary” Lagdameo.
Lagdameo said they planned the project with renowned urban planner, Architect Felino “Jun” A. Palafox, Jr.
“What makes the project special to us is we really want to showcase our sustainable initiatives. A five-hectare subdivision but it would tap so many positive green attributes. For instance, the green open space. In the five hectares we only have 42 lots available for sale,” he said on Thursday.
Inspired by innovative concepts that combine agriculture and residence, the community features green and sustainable technology that fosters a harmonious blend with nature.
Lagdameo explained that the house itself has a lot of sustainability features. It is designed to provide so much airflow inside the house. The use of vegetation for landscaping of the house and the shape of the roof allows rainwater catchment.
The project has also retained the fruit-bearing trees on the property.
“When we were planning this, because the property is so beautiful, it had so many fruit-bearing trees so we planned our roads to try preserving as much as the matured trees,” Lagdameo said.
Other sustainable features are ample green spaces, tree-lined streetscapes, restoration of the native ecological communities, provision for vegetable gardens, butterfly roof design for rainwater harvesting and solar power integration, recycling of steel products, and construction of detention ponds.
“We will be using as much of whatever is inside the property as possible,” Lagdameo said.
Lagdameo said they are currently in the permitting phase.
“As soon as we secure all the necessary permits we are hopeful to start the site development in a few months. We are ready to go with site development the moment that we get our development permit,” he said.
