Italpinas Development Corporation celebrates 17 years of Sustainable Excellence

What began in 2009 as a bold vision shared by Founder and Executive Chairman Architect Romolo V. Nati and President Atty. Jose D. Leviste III has grown into one of the country's most recognized boutique developers, known for bringing Italian-inspired architecture, green building principles, and smart urban planning to emerging cities across the Philippines. Over the past 17 years, IDC has remained steadfast in its belief that sustainable development is not simply an architectural philosophy—it is a long-term strategy for creating thriving communities and lasting value.

From the award-winning Primavera Residences to the expanding Primavera City township in Cagayan de Oro and the recently inaugurated Miramonti Green Residences in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, IDC has consistently demonstrated that environmentally responsible developments can also be commercially successful. Each project reflects the company's commitment to designing spaces that maximize natural light and ventilation while delivering quality homes and investment opportunities in high-growth locations.

As the company celebrates this milestone, Italpinas is entering one of the most exciting chapters in its history.

Construction and expansion continue at Primavera City, with Città Grande (Phase 3) moving forward through a strategic joint venture that will accelerate the next phase of the mixed-use township. Beyond this, IDC is preparing Città Alta, envisioned as the crown jewel of Primavera City and home to Citadines by Ascott, bringing internationally recognized hospitality to Cagayan de Oro and further strengthening the city's position as a premier business and tourism destination.

Meanwhile, IDC is also advancing Firenze Residences, an award-winning mixed-use development that reflects the company's signature approach of integrating residential, commercial, and lifestyle spaces into one sustainable community. The project recently earned international recognition at the Asia-Pacific Property Awards, reinforcing IDC's growing reputation for design excellence.

The company's growth is not limited to its existing developments. Through its subsidiaries IDC Prime and IDC Homes, Italpinas has announced an ambitious expansion into several of the country's most promising markets. New projects are planned for Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Mexico, Pampanga, and Boracay, while the company has also identified Bataan and Bukidnon as strategic growth areas for future developments. These projects reinforce IDC's long-standing strategy of investing in emerging locations with strong economic fundamentals and long-term potential.

For Architect Romolo V. Nati, the anniversary is not only a celebration of the company's achievements but also a reminder that its mission is far from complete.

"Seventeen years ago, we set out to prove that sustainability could be both responsible and profitable. Today, that vision is more relevant than ever. As our cities continue to grow, we have an even greater responsibility to build communities that respect the environment while creating lasting value for future generations."

Looking ahead, IDC remains committed to expanding its portfolio of sustainable residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and tourism-oriented developments while embracing innovation, renewable energy integration, and smart urban planning. As demand continues to shift toward emerging cities, the company believes these growth centers will define the future of Philippine real estate.

Seventeen years is an important milestone—but for Italpinas Development Corporation, it is only the beginning.

With an expanding pipeline of developments, strategic partnerships, and a clear commitment to sustainability, IDC is poised to shape the next generation of communities where innovation, responsible development, and quality of life come together.

Building sustainably. Growing responsibly. Shaping the future—one community at a time.
