The Seasons Residences and Mistsukoshi Mall: A Prime Japan Living Soon to Open in BGC

Japan is known for its world-class technology and design innovations that are both functional and simply elegant. The country’s unique culture and way of living drove many people to visit just to experience such a lifestyle.

But now, one doesn’t have to travel to Japan to get a grasp of their lifestyle as a new residential tower will soon rise in Taguig City’s prime business district.

Federal Land Inc., together with two of Japan’s biggest real estate and retail industries namely Nomura Real Estate Development and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Inc., recently launched The Seasons Residences, an integrated lifestyle center and residential tower inspired by the Japanese way of living, last November 23, 2018 in Bonifacio Global City.

The Seasons Residence, formerly known as the Sunshine Fort, is the newest residential and lifestyle complex designed to set the standard in the way of living in the metro. This joint venture project incorporates the timeless Filipino hospitality with the Japanese innovative technology to bring a piece of home from Japan to the Philippines.

The Residential Towers

There will be four residential towers designed after the four seasons in Japan – Haru or Spring, Natsu or Summer, Aki or Autumn, and Fuyu or Winter. Each tower channels Japan’s deep respect for nature with amenities that fit different lifestyles.

The Haru/Spring tower houses facilities for an active lifestyle, such as an indoor gym and a zen garden perfect for family picnics and meditations.

Meanwhile, The Natsu/Summer tower is where relaxation and entertainment happens. Its amenities include pools for the kids and adults, a karaoke station, a game room, and a function room available for family gatherings and occasions.

The Aki/Autumn tower, on the other hand, is the right place for the creative ones where a business center and a music studio are located, providing an avenue for residents to be more creative and productive.

Lastly, the Fuyu/Winter tower lets you indulge in a refreshing experience to soothe the mind and body with their Japanese hot spring inspired spa.

Another unique feature of The Seasons Residences is the Guest House. This Japanese-inspired tea area located at the amenity deck has a spacious bedroom where guests of unit owners can also relax.

What makes The Seasons Residences unique is the overall design that exudes sophistication and simplicity of the Japanese lifestyle.

While it reflects the harmonious balance between Japanese technology, architecture, and Filipino hospitality, it aims to introduce a convenient, eco-friendly, stylish, and safe residential area by using Japan’s state-of-the-art technology such as a damper system, an earthquake vibration control technology from Japan which can help tall towers withstand natural calamities such as earthquakes and strong winds, a key card system for elevators and main doors, and sunken slabs for a convenient plumbing maintenance.

Mitsukoshi Mall sets itself apart from other malls in the metro because most of their brands are Japanese homegrown products that cannot be found in any other place in the country.
