At the Calatagan horizon where luxury meets responsibility, a new
standard for coastal living is taking shape. The Nautilus at 15-hectare CaSoBe,
Landco Pacific Corporation’s iconic 10-storey beachfront condotel in Batangas,
has achieved the Preliminary EDGE Advanced Certification, making it the first
residential and commercial beach condominium development in the country to earn
this international recognition for sustainable design.
“The Nautilus sets a new benchmark as the first beachfront condominium
development in the country with a Preliminary EDGE Advanced Certificate,” said
Engr. Leandro A. Conti, PME, ASEAN Engineer, Philippine Green Building
Initiative (PGBI) Chairman and President. “It is proof that sustainable design
and aspirational living are not opposing ideals, but powerful partners in
shaping resilient communities.” PGBI is the
local partner of International Finance Corporation in EDGE Certification in the
Philippines.

EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), an innovation of
the International Finance Corporation (IFC), certifies buildings that meet
stringent standards for resource efficiency. This global certification
recognizes developments that achieve at least 20% savings in energy use,
alongside significant reductions in water and embodied energy in materials.
According to the PGBI, The Nautilus is projected to achieve 43% energy
savings, 37% water savings, and a 38% reduction in embodied energy of materials
compared to local benchmarks. These figures translate into a tangible impact:
The Nautilus is anticipated to conserve electricity that is enough to power 10
Filipino households for an entire year.
Purposeful Luxury by
the Shore
Master-planned by Singapore’s Pomeroy Studio and designed by Visionarch,
ranked among the top global firms, The Nautilus is a beacon of refined coastal
living. Inspired by Jules Verne’s legendary submarine, The Nautilus rises along
the Calatagan shoreline like a ship at anchor. Beyond its striking
architecture, every detail is designed for an elevated coastal lifestyle:
floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic sea views, spa sanctuaries, rooftop
observatories, and infinity pools that capture the romance of a cruise liner
docked by the shore; and
Yet beneath the glamour lies a future-forward design ethos. The Nautilus
stand for eco-conscious innovations featuring solar panels on rooftops and
canopies, double piping and water-efficient plumbing, EV charging stations,
natural ventilation, and recycled materials. These makes The Nautilus a rare
destination, where indulgence and responsibility flow seamlessly together.
“The Nautilus embodies our belief that true luxury is purposeful, where
every moment of beauty comes with a responsibility to tread lightly on our
planet. Sustainability is not an afterthought; it is at the heart of everything
we do,” said Erickson Y. Manzano, President and CEO, Landco Pacific
Corporation. “This recognition from the International Finance Corporation
affirms Landco’s role in pioneering coastal communities that are both refined
and resilient. Our commitment is to create places of lasting value,
destinations that will stand as legacies for generations to come”
Sustainability as a
Lifestyle Necessity
Once considered the domain of high-end estates, green and open spaces
have now become essential to long-term livability. Research shows that
properties near well-designed green zones enjoy value appreciation between
8–20%, proving that nature is not just a visual amenity but also an economic
driver.
At The Nautilus, sustainability is not a social luxury but a lifestyle
necessity. White sand beaches, clean sea water, landscaped spaces, natural
lighting, and energy-efficient features aren’t just aesthetic choices, they
enhance wellness, reduce stress, and offer refuge from the demands of urban
life. By merging eco-friendly design with premium resort amenities, The
Nautilus elevates coastal living into a holistic and healthy experience.
