A new benchmark for coastal luxury living rises in Batangas
November 14, 2025 — Landco Pacific Corporation, a pioneer in premium leisure and lifestyle developments, has commissioned Metro Stonerich Corporation as its General Contractor for The Nautilus, an iconic beachfront residential condominium within the 15-hectare Calatagan South Beach (CaSoBe) estate in Batangas.
This appointment marks the third collaboration between the two companies following their work on The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, another premier seaside condominium set for completion in 2028.
Leading the ceremonial signing were Landco Pacific executives President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano, Vice President for Commercial and Customer Experience Gerard F. Peñaflor, and Design & Planning Manager Architect Gerald Santos; together with Metro Stonerich executives Chief Operating Officer Elisio Aurellado, Senior Vice President Engineer Fernando Villanueva Jr., and Senior Vice President Engineer Rene Fabros.
“Bringing The Nautilus to life calls for discipline and precision. We’ve awarded Metro Stonerich the role of General Contractor for this project at CaSoBe, recognizing their capability to deliver to our standards and timeline,” said Manzano.
Redefining coastal living through design and sustainability
Inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, The Nautilus embodies Landco’s vision for refined and sustainable coastal living.
The 10-storey beachfront condotel recently earned the Preliminary EDGE Advanced Certification, making it the first residential and commercial beach condominium in the Philippines to receive this international recognition for energy efficiency and sustainable design.
Blending technology with tranquility, The Nautilus features solar canopies, EV charging stations, and water-efficient systems alongside panoramic sea views, infinity pools, and wellness sanctuaries, showing that luxury and environmental responsibility can exist side by side.
“The Nautilus continues Landco’s legacy of developing premium communities that integrate architecture, nature, and innovation,” Manzano noted.
