Key features of Kahi Estates:

Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable and community-focused urban planning, we've incorporated key features into Kahi Estates that address the challenges encountered in previous developments models and pave the way for a brighter future. These features include:

Green Infrastructure:

Kahi Estates seamlessly blends natural elements into its design, creating an environment where urban living coexists with nature. The development will be rich with fruit-bearing trees, native plants, and expansive green spaces, all contributing to a landscape that prioritizes biodiversity. Over 10% of the development is dedicated to ecological restoration, ensuring the preservation of the rich biodiversity that makes Davao so unique. These green areas are not only aesthetic but serve as vital ecosystems that support local wildlife, improve air quality, and provide residents with access to nature, promoting healthier lifestyles and a deeper connection with the environment.

Sustainable Technologies:

Sustainability is at the heart of Kahi Estates. The development will incorporate a range of eco-friendly technologies, including solar panels to harness renewable energy, butterfly roofs designed for rainwater harvesting and other rainwater collection systems to efficiently manage water use, as well as energy-efficient lighting and appliances to minimize energy consumption. These technologies are designed to reduce the overall environmental footprint of the community, aligning with global best practices in sustainable urban development. By integrating these innovations, Kahi Estates not only conserves natural resources but also helps residents lower their long-term utility costs, fostering a greener and more responsible way of living.

Community-Centric Design:

Kahi Estates prioritizes human connections through its thoughtfully designed, community-centered spaces. The master plan promotes walkability with pedestrian-friendly streetscapes that encourage residents to explore their surroundings on foot or by bike. Shared amenities such as parks, playgrounds, and recreational areas create opportunities for social interaction and leisure, while strategically placed communal spaces foster a strong sense of belonging. Whether it's a quiet stroll through the greenery or a community event in one of the shared spaces, Kahi Estates is designed to cultivate meaningful connections between neighbors and enrich the overall quality of life for its residents.

Security by Design

Kahi Estates redefines security in a refreshing way.  Instead of relying on the high walls and gated communities so common in Metro Manila, we've embraced Security by Design principles. This means prioritizing open spaces, greater community visibility, and well-planned streets to foster a sense of trust and unity.  "More eyes on the public realm mean fewer crimes," as the saying goes. This approach creates a neighborhood where safety and community go hand-in-hand, built on principles of openness and shared responsibility.
