SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN — July 4,
2026 — P.A. Properties Hankyu Hanshin, the joint
venture between P.A. Alvarez Properties and Development Corporation (P.A.
Properties) and Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corporation, officially welcomed the
first homeowners of Idesia San Jose del Monte during its Homeowners Turnover
Ceremony.

The milestone signifies not only the
beginning of homeownership for the project’s pioneering families but also another
achievement in the ninth year of partnership between P.A. Properties and Hankyu
Hanshin Properties Corporation. It likewise marks the joint venture’s first
Idesia development in North Luzon.

Executives from P.A. Properties,
representatives of Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corporation, local government
officials, project partners, officers, employees, and the new homeowners
attended the ceremony.

In her opening remarks, Asa Toda,
Vice President of Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp. Philippines, underscored the
significance of the project as the partnership’s first venture in Bulacan.

“We are honored to be part of
this growing province and to help build a community where people can enjoy a
better quality of life,” she said.

Welcoming the homeowners, Lawrenz
Joseph Z. Alvarez, Director of P.A. Properties, described the turnover as
more than the ceremonial handover of houses.

He said Idesia San Jose del Monte
represents the arrival of the Idesia brand in Bulacan and reflects the joint
venture’s commitment to building thoughtfully planned communities where
families can grow, neighbors become friends, and dreams flourish.

Following the ceremonial program, the
homeowners were escorted to their respective units for the official turnover.
Each family stepped inside their new home for the first time before receiving a
house blessing, marking the beginning of their homeownership journey.

For many of the new homeowners, the
occasion was an emotional and exciting milestone.

“We’re so excited to move into
our new home. We hope we’ll have a wonderful life here,” shared Idesia homeowner Mark.

Rising city, growing opportunities

Homeowners at Idesia San Jose del Monte
will enjoy not only a master-planned community but also the long-term value of
investing in one of Bulacan’s fastest-growing cities.

As the largest city in the province, San
Jose del Monte continues to emerge as a key growth center, driven by expanding
residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Its strategic location
near Metro Manila has attracted significant private investments, creating more
opportunities for residents and businesses alike.

Accessibility is also expected to improve
with the completion of the MRT-7, which is projected to extend rail
connectivity to San Jose del Monte by 2027 or 2028, significantly reducing
travel time to Metro Manila.

Meanwhile, the development of the New
Manila International Airport in Bulacan is expected to generate more than one
million jobs and further accelerate economic growth across the province.

In her closing remarks, Atty. Marianne
Reyna Lina-Cruz, President and CEO of P.A. Properties and P.A. Properties
Hankyu Hanshin, highlighted the long-term value of investing in an Idesia home,
citing her own experience as a homeowner in Idesia Dasmariñas.

“It was our second home, and
truly, we have already reaped the benefits of our investment. We’ve seen how
its value has appreciated because of how beautiful the project is,” she shared.

As the first homeowners begin creating
memories in their new homes, the successful turnover of Idesia San Jose del
Monte marks another milestone in the enduring partnership between P.A.
Properties and Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corporation. More than simply turning
over houses, the event welcomed the pioneering residents of a thriving
community. It reaffirmed the partners’ shared commitment to building quality
homes where Filipino families can build brighter futures.
