From the time that Filigree, the newest luxury real estate brand in the country, was conceived, the driving philosophy was the singular vision to redefine luxury living by creating tangible value across all its impressive roster of condominium developments. To achieve this, they made sure to utilize world-class, highly functional design, top quality materials of the most exacting standards and specifications, and an abundance of space that their discriminating clients expect.
As it seeks to stand out with its portfolio of upscale condominiums, each serving as the gold standard by which all luxury projects are to be judged, it became imperative for Filigree to collaborate with renowned consultants in architecture, interior design, urban planning, and landscape architecture.
Nestled in the most exclusive area in Filinvest City, Alabang’s garden central business district is Botanika Nature Residences, an architectural gem by Leandro V. Locsin Partners, Miaja Design Group, and AECOM.

Botanika is a premium, decidedly low-density residential enclave that offers generous living spaces—from two-bedroom suites, three-bedroom flats, all the way to five-bedroom Garden Bi-level units—all in a convenient condominium setting.
Beyond being a lush vertical village, it also gained a milestone three-star BERDE (Building Ecologically Responsible Design Excellence) rating for design from the Philippine Green Building Council. Adding to Botanika’s desirability are its first-class amenities and features, such as its lap pools surrounded by a lush landscape with a sun deck, indoor and outdoor play areas, a business center, library, and its grand lobby with its calming water feature and a scenic elevator.

Meanwhile, Bristol at Parkway Place exemplifies how charming modern life is meant to be. Taking pride in its towering 40-storey height, Bristol is a collaboration among California-based Architecture International, local CASAS + Architects, and Hirsch Bedner Associates.
Located at the power address of Parkway corner Corporate Avenues, Bristol lets its residents live a life of ease as everything is all within comfortable reach, with a plethora of Zen-inspired amenities such as the library cum study hall, the function room for private, intimate events, and the entertainment and media room that are all yours to savor and enjoy.
What’s more, the vibrant plaza environment at the ground floor features carefully curated boutiques and specialty restaurants, allowing for private retail therapy or relaxed yet sumptuous dining experience.

There’s also Filigree’s timeless landmark standing at the Bonifacio Global City: The Beaufort. A masterpiece by architectural firms Miami-based Arquitectonica and local R. Villarosa Architects, the stunning, two-tower, world-class condominium is now proudly fully occupied and home to the most discriminating residents. The Beaufort comes with only four units to a floor, delivering utmost privacy and luxurious city living. It is complete with recreational amenities for a way of life that only a few dreams of.
All these premium residential projects are situated in the most desirable addresses, where everything is within reach, providing its residents a life of privilege.

Catherine Ilagan, Filigree Head
“The common denominator of all our condominium offerings is that each is unique in its own way. We don’t do the cookie-cutter type—everything is deliberately planned,” said Filigree head Catherine A. Ilagan. “We tell our consultants that we don’t just design buildings; we base it on the lifestyle of our future residents to make it even more luxurious and comfortable.”
Quite simply, Filigree not only sets the standard—it raises the bar in the luxury real estate industry with the highest level of craftsmanship and quality available, offering real value rarely found in other developments today.
