The Spinnaker Sets the Pace for Green Luxury by the Sea: EDGE-Certified and Pursuing LEED Certification

Landco Pacific Corporation, a trailblazer in premium landscapes and eco-luxury for over three decades, continues to push the boundaries of sustainable development with The Spinnaker, its iconic beachfront condotel at Club Laiya in San Juan, Batangas, now recognized with a Preliminary EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification from the Philippine Green Building Initiative (PGBI).

This distinction places The Spinnaker at the forefront of green resort living in the country and affirms Landco’s unwavering commitment to purposeful, future-ready real estate development. In line with this commitment, The Spinnaker is also actively pursuing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the globally recognized standard for sustainable buildings developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.

“We take immense pride in this recognition, which affirms our deep and enduring commitment to sustainable leisure development. For Landco Pacific, sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s embedded in our DNA,” said Erickson Y. Manzano, President and CEO of Landco Pacific Corporation.

With the EDGE certification validating key reductions: 30% in energy, 37% in water, and 50% in embodied energy of materials, The Spinnaker is setting new benchmarks for luxury and responsibility in one of the Philippines’ most desirable beach destinations.

Smart, Sustainable Investment for the Next Generation

Today’s premium buyers are not just looking for luxury, they’re looking for intention and impact. The Spinnaker delivers both: its sustainable features not only reduce environmental footprint but also enhance long-term asset value through lower operational costs, smarter energy consumption, and enduring design.

From smart-home readiness and inverter-grade appliances to EV charging stations and double-piping systems for water reuse, The Spinnaker anticipates the needs of tomorrow’s investor and resident. These features reflect the growing demand for green-certified properties, where sustainability becomes a mark of taste, foresight, and purpose.

Pioneering Eco-Efficiency at the Shoreline

A true innovator in sustainable beachfront living, The Spinnaker is the first condotel in the Philippines to implement a double-piped waterline system for using non-potable water in toilets and irrigation. Its eco-conscious design incorporates reduced window-to-wall ratios, solar-reflective exteriors, rainwater harvesting, and locally sourced recycled materials, resulting in significant savings and long-term resiliency.

The pursuit of LEED certification further strengthens this commitment. LEED-certified developments are internationally recognized for their reduced energy and water consumption, lower emissions, and healthier indoor environments. The Spinnaker’s alignment with these standards ensures its place as a globally competitive and environmentally responsible investment.

International Recognition for Sustainable Design

The preliminary EDGE certification joins a growing list of accolades for The Spinnaker, including being named Best International Sustainable Residential Development at the 2024–2025 International Property Awards (IPA), bringing pride to the Philippines. Initially crowned as the Asia-Pacific regional winner, it now stands as a global representative of excellence in sustainability, competing with developments from across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Landco Pacific’s sustainability leadership continues across its portfolio, including The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, which was recently honored as the 2025–2026 IPA Asia-Pacific Best Sustainable Development and will represent the region on the international stage in London.

Landco’s Ongoing Legacy in Green Hospitality

This momentum is also seen through Landco’s hospitality arm, Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV). Its eco-cabins project, Crusoe Cabins at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach), was the first resort hospitality project in the country to earn EDGE certification in 2022. With impressive reductions of 34% in energy use, 57% in water usage, and 65% in embodied energy, Crusoe Cabins set the tone for Landco’s eco-conscious hospitality offerings.

Living the Sustainable Vision at Club Laiya

Set within the LEED-registered master-planned estate of Club Laiya, The Spinnaker thrives in a setting purposefully designed for wellness and sustainability. Residents enjoy walkable green spaces, dedicated bike lanes, a scenic beach promenade, and a centralized water management system with greywater reuse—features that enhance livability while promoting environmental harmony.

Landco’s advocacy extends to inclusive growth and conservation, with programs that create livelihood opportunities for local communities and uphold stewardship of coastal ecosystems.

A Beacon of Curated Coastal Living

Architecturally inspired by the sail of a yacht, The Spinnaker rises 22 stories along the shores of Tayabas Bay and Mt. Daguldol. The condotel is home to 247 units in studio to three-bedroom layouts, including bi-level units and select commercial spaces. Each residence features panoramic sea views, floor-to-ceiling heights, and premium, eco-efficient appliances designed for long-term comfort and style.

Residents and guests enjoy hotel-style amenities such as a 25-meter infinity lap pool, gym and spa, meeting rooms, children’s zones, a helipad, and a sky bar overlooking the sea. Professional leasing and management services by LLV ensure ease of ownership and steady returns.

A Destination Within a Destination

Located just two and a half hours from Metro Manila, The Spinnaker is the jewel of Club Laiya, a fully integrated estate that combines smart living, digital connectivity, and a curated beach lifestyle. From estate-wide Wi-Fi and leisure hubs like Laiya Beach Club and Captain Barbozza Restaurant to pod-style Cocoons and Camperisti glamper vans, every detail is curated to enhance experience and elevate value.
