Properties Chairman of the Board, Akira Ito, SMCCPH Deputy General Manager, Yoshiaki Sakaguchi, SMCCPH General Manager, , Mr. Masahiko Toda, HHPC Executive Officer, Mr. Keiji Okamoto, HHPC Manager, Overseas Housing Division

Manila, Philippines – Filipino homebuyers can look forward to better-built homes as P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin partners with SMCC Philippines, the local arm of Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd. This collaboration names SMCC Philippines as the official contractor for the Idesia San Jose Del Monte development in Bulacan, ensuring top-tier construction quality through Japanese technology and expertise.

The partnership was officially sealed during a signing ceremony at P.A. Properties’ Alabang office, marking a shared commitment to raising the bar in Philippine real estate. With SMCC Philippines’ extensive experience in architectural and civil engineering—spanning planning, design, and project management—homebuyers can expect a seamless blend of efficiency, durability, and innovation.

Fast, Reliable, and High-Quality Home Construction

One of the standout benefits of this partnership is the introduction of the Precast System, a structural shell technology developed in Japan. Unlike traditional construction methods, this approach involves manufacturing structural components offsite and assembling them at the location. The result? Faster build times, reduced material waste, and consistently high-quality construction—all of which translate into better homes for Filipino families.

“We are thrilled to partner with SMCC Philippines for the construction of Idesia San Jose Del Monte,” said Romarico T. Alvarez, Chairman of the Board of P.A. Properties. “Their reputation for efficiency and precision aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver well-built, thoughtfully designed homes to Filipino families. This collaboration reflects our vision of bringing innovation and quality to Philippine real estate.”

For P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin, this partnership ensures that its Idesia brand lives up to its promise of creating vibrant, master-planned communities. Over the years, the joint venture has played a key role in addressing the country’s growing housing demand by building townships that meet the evolving needs of modern homeowners.

A Step Forward for Philippine Real Estate

For SMCC Philippines, this project marks another milestone in its ongoing expansion in the country. With a strong track record in large-scale infrastructure and residential projects, the company’s involvement in Idesia San Jose Del Monte reinforces its commitment to delivering world-class housing solutions for Filipinos.

“By bringing in SMCC Philippines, we are ensuring that Idesia San Jose Del Monte meets the highest standards of Japanese efficiency and quality,” said Masahiko Toda, Executive Officer of Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp. “We want to build a community that future homeowners will truly be proud of.”

Yoshiaki Sakaguchi, General Manager of SMCC Philippines, also expressed excitement about the collaboration. “We are honored to work with P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin on this significant development. Our decades of experience in global construction, combined with our commitment to excellence, will help bring the vision of Idesia to life.”

A Long-Term Vision for Housing

This partnership is more than just about one project—it’s about shaping the future of Philippine real estate. By joining forces, P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin and SMCC Philippines are setting new benchmarks for home construction, where quality, innovation, and efficiency come together to create lasting value for homeowners.

For Filipino families, this means more than just a house—it means a safe, well-built home designed for modern living. And as the demand for quality housing continues to grow, collaborations like this will play a crucial role in shaping communities that stand the test of time.

Former Senator Manny Pacquiao graced the graduation as the event’s keynote speaker. “The world is watching. Every ship you step on, every journey you take, you carry the Filipino name. Sikapin ninyong hindi lang maging mahusay—maging pinakamahusay. Maging marino na hindi lang naglalayag, kundi nag-iiwan ng marka. Maging Pilipino na hindi lang nagtatrabaho, kundi nagbibigay ng inspirasyon,” Pacquaio shared. Hindi lang ito trabaho. Kayo ang bumubuhay sa ekonomiya, ang nagkokonekta sa mundo, at ang nagsisigurong ligtas ang paglalayag ng maraming bansa. Gawin ninyo ito nang may puso at sipag,” he added.
