P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin taps Sumitomo Mitsui PH unit for Bulacan housing project

P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin, the joint venture between P.A. Properties and Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp. of Japan, has partnered with SMCC Philippines Inc., the local subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co. Ltd., for a housing project in Bulacan.

SMCC Philippines will serve as the official housing contractor for Idesia San Jose Del Monte (SJDM) in Bulacan, P.A. Properties said in a statement.

This collaboration aims to elevate construction quality and efficiency by incorporating advanced Japanese engineering innovations into the development, it added.

Raising construction standards

The memorandum of agreement (MOA) was formalized in a signing ceremony at P.A. Properties' Alabang office, highlighting both companies’ commitment to raising construction standards in the Philippines.

Idesia SJDM, a 15.84-hectare residential project, is strategically located in San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan—just an hour away from Metro Manila. Designed to cater to young professionals and families, the development features modern townhouses (Yama) and single-attached homes (Sora), combining urban accessibility with suburban tranquility.

With SMCC Philippines onboard, Idesia SJDM will benefit from the Precast System, a Japanese-engineered structural shell technology. 

Unlike traditional methods, precast technology allows structural components to be manufactured offsite and assembled on location, ensuring:

  • Faster project completion

  • Enhanced structural integrity

  • Minimal material waste

  • Consistent quality

“We are thrilled to partner with SMCC Philippines for this project,” said Romarico T. Alvarez, chair of P.A. Properties. “Their expertise in precision and efficiency aligns with our goal of delivering high-quality homes to Filipino families.”

Meanwhile, Yoshiaki Sakaguchi, general manager of SMCC Philippines, noted: “This partnership is a testament to our commitment to excellence in Philippine real estate.”

By merging local expertise with a world-class Japanese construction technology, P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin and SMCC Philippines are setting a new standard for durable, efficient, and innovative housing in the country. — Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
