“Tadaima!” This heartfelt Japanese phrase, which means “I am home,” beautifully encapsulates the spirit of The Seasons Residences in Bonifacio Global City (BGC).
During an exclusive media property tour, Property Report witnessed how Federal Land, Inc., in collaboration with Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd., has brought the vision of Japanese living to life in Metro Manila. The Seasons Residences seamlessly blends Japanese culture with Filipino sensibilities, redefining urban living.
The Seasons Residences delivers more than just a promise—it’s a testament to excellence. Guided by the concept of “Honmono,” or authenticity, the development combines timeless traditions, modern innovations, and practical details that highlight the best of Japanese living.
The essence of the seasons
The media tour began at Haru, the first completed tower, where units are already being handed over to homeowners. The atmosphere radiated meticulous attention to detail, from the seamless finishes to the purposeful design of each unit. Representatives highlighted how the Japanese philosophy of balancing functionality and elegance is reflected in every corner.
The second tower, Natsu, is set to welcome residents by early 2025, with strong demand already underscoring the market’s enthusiasm for this unique offering. Each of the four towers—Haru (Spring), Natsu (Summer), Aki (Autumn), and Fuyu (Winter)—represents a season, encapsulating its essence through thoughtful amenities and architectural details.
Visitors were introduced to facilities such as a fitness gym, a nursing room, and a two-level playroom, including pools and play areas that showcased a vibrant and family-friendly atmosphere. Haru also features The Guest House, a private amenity inspired by Japanese hospitality that residents can lease for their visiting relatives or friends, offering a taste of luxury living. Future towers like Aki will include music rooms and wellness spaces to foster creativity and relaxation.
Currently, the project is underway with the preselling of Fuyu Tower, which is scheduled for completion by December 2027. With limited units available, including spacious two- and three-bedroom configurations, Fuyu promises to be the final jewel in this remarkable development.
Discovering Japan at MITSUKOSHI Fresh
A major highlight of the property tour was the seamless connection to MITSUKOSHI BGC, the first Japanese mall in the Philippines located at the podium level of The Seasons Residences. The media was toured around MITSUKOSHI Fresh, a grocery that showcased delightful selections of Japanese treats and premium ingredients. From freshly imported produce to air-flown sashimi, the offerings brought the authentic flavors of Japan directly to the Philippines.
Beyond groceries, MITSUKOSHI BGC also offers a curated collection of Japanese beauty and fashion brands, such as Snidel and Fray I.D., as well as home retailer Nitori. Its Fully Booked x Kinokuniya bookstore carries the largest collection of manga in the Philippines, making it a cultural hub for enthusiasts. These offerings add a unique cultural dimension to the shopping experience, blending convenience with luxury.
Culinary delights continue at Itadaki Food Court, where exclusive dining experiences and premium ingredients further enriched the vibrant retail space. With these features, MITSUKOSHI BGC offers a lifestyle deeply rooted in authentic Japanese culture, accessible to residents and visitors alike.
Authentic Japanese living
One of the standout moments during the tour was seeing how Japanese design principles have been brought to life. From the iconic asanoha pattern on the podium façade—a nod to Japan’s cultural heritage—to interiors that maximize functionality, every detail is intentional. Kitchens are equipped with range hoods featuring Japanese oil filter technology, while water-efficient shower toilets and air-washing tiles create an eco-friendly, luxurious living experience.
These elements, combined with cutting-edge safety features like Viscoelastic Coupling Dampers for earthquake resilience, left Property Report and other attendees impressed by the level of care and foresight invested in The Seasons Residences.
As the tour concluded, it became clear that The Seasons Residences has set a new benchmark for urban living in Metro Manila. By merging Japanese craftsmanship, Filipino ingenuity, and a commitment to sustainability, Federal Land has created more than just a residence—it has crafted a lifestyle.
With the ongoing handover of Haru Tower, the preselling of Fuyu, and the retail experiences at MITSUKOSHI BGC, The Seasons Residences transforms its vision into reality. Property Report is excited to witness how this development continues to bring authentic Japanese living to life in Metro Manila.
