Another development by the FNG collaboration includes The Observatory in Mandaluyong City which promises a holistic urban living experience amidst the bustling streets of Metro Manila. FNG’s project, a 4.5-hectare mixed-use development, draws inspiration from the vibrant and bustling Shibuya district in Tokyo, complete with indoor and outdoor luxury amenities.
With The Observatory’s prime location in Mandaluyong City, it has easy access to major roads like EDSA and the BGC-Ortigas Link bridge as well as convenient connectivity to key business districts such as Makati, Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and Ortigas. The joint venture recently broke ground on “Sora Tower,” the first of eight planned residential towers in the new development, with completion and turnover to prospective owners expected by 2030.
With Federal Land’s new collaboration with Japan’s Nomura Real Estate Development, FNG, already being recognized as the Best Breakthrough Developer, the company, its partners, and ventures continue to elevate the standards of Filipino living while contributing to the growth and development of communities across the nation.
The developer’s success at this year’s PropertyGuru Awards highlights the company’s continued commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences by providing its clients with homes, commercial spaces, and integrated communities that are not only thoughtfully designed but also safe, reliable, and accessible to make everyday life more enjoyable.
