Megaworld Introduces AI-Powered Homes, Redefining Smart Living in Philippine Townships
Megaworld is ushering in a new era of residential living with the rollout of AI-powered homes in the Philippines this year, blending cutting-edge technology with thoughtfully designed living spaces. The initiative will debut in select Megaworld properties, starting with Park McKinley West in Taguig City, through a strategic partnership with global technology leader Samsung. Together, the collaboration brings an integrated AI ecosystem into homes—marking a milestone for the local real estate sector and setting a new benchmark for modern, future-ready communities.
At the core of Megaworld’s AI-powered homes is the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, a centralized digital platform that allows residents to manage and personalize their living spaces through a single application. Beyond basic automation, the system enables intelligent routines that respond to time of day, weather conditions, device status, and user behavior. Homes can dynamically adjust lighting, climate, and energy usage, creating environments that feel intuitive, efficient, and seamlessly aligned with residents’ daily rhythms.
These next-generation homes integrate features such as adaptive lighting, intelligent climate control, and voice-activated command centers, all working together to anticipate needs and enhance comfort, safety, and sustainability. Energy optimization is a key benefit, as the system continuously fine-tunes performance to reduce consumption while maintaining a personalized living experience. Homebuyers can also choose to upgrade their residences by integrating Samsung’s AI-enabled appliances—including televisions, air-conditioning units, and washing machines—into the SmartThings platform.
According to Francis Viernes, Megaworld’s head of business innovation and transformation, the initiative reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to innovation and community building. By embedding advanced AI technologies into its developments, Megaworld aims to elevate everyday living and redefine what it means to reside in a modern township.
The launch builds on Megaworld’s early leadership in smart living through its iTownships program, introduced nearly a decade ago to future-proof communities with digital connectivity and design innovation. Today, with AI adoption accelerating across Filipino households—particularly among Gen Z—Megaworld’s AI-powered homes position the company at the forefront of a rapidly evolving lifestyle trend, shaping how Filipinos live, work, and connect in the years ahead.
