Insider Spotlight
At the center of the initiative is the Sondris Pop-up Experience at Arya Plaza in Arya Residences, Bonifacio Global City, where visitors can explore the project through immersive virtual reality and spatial visualization technologies until June 26, 2026.
The showcase reflects a growing shift in real estate marketing, where developers are using technology to bridge the gap between architectural plans and the buyer experience.
The big picture
A key attraction is Arthavision, a virtual reality booth that allows guests to step inside Sondris and navigate its residences as if they were already built.
Through VR technology, visitors can explore unit layouts, experience movement through living spaces, and gain a realistic understanding of the development's scale and design.
Complementing the VR experience is an LED floor room installation that recreates the actual dimensions of Sondris residences.
The technology enables visitors to physically walk through floor plans and better appreciate spatial flow beyond what conventional model units or renderings can provide.
The experiential approach supports Arthaland's efforts to position Sondris as a premium residential offering centered on wellness, sustainability, and intentional living.
Why it matters
Sondris is a 37-story residential tower being developed by Arthaland through subsidiary Zileya Land Development Corp. in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan (Asia), the regional arm of one of Japan's largest real estate companies. The development will feature 252 low-density residences ranging from one-bedroom units to expansive garden residences.
The project incorporates sustainability features designed to reduce energy consumption by at least 40 percent and water use by at least 20 percent, while prioritizing indoor air quality, natural ventilation, and wellness-focused amenities.
A Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) continuously delivers fresh, filtered air while regulating humidity to improve thermal comfort.
Carbon monoxide monitors help maintain healthy indoor environments by tracking pollutant levels in real time. Operable windows maximize natural ventilation, while airtight unit construction reduces sound and odor transmission, enhancing both acoustic performance and overall indoor air quality.
“Sondris, which is a coined name rooted in empathy, authenticity, and the presence of living fully in a space, embodies our commitment to creating a home that puts people, wellness, and sustainability at the center,” said Oliver L. Chan, executive vice president and chief sustainability officer of Arthaland.
Project turnover is scheduled for April 2030, with the company targeting multiple green and wellness certifications, including LEED, WELL, EDGE, and BERDE. —Ramon C. Nocon | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
