The Independent Investor: Hive Modular and Alesea Scale Sustainable Housing in Central Visayas
Manila, Philippines, February 2025. Business and investment publication The Independent Investor PH featured Hive Modular's deepening partnership with Alesea Inc., one of the country's leading short-term rental operators, with a focus on scaling sustainable modular housing in Central Visayas. The piece reports on the joint plan to deliver factory-built homes for the region's growing high-end tourism sector, anchored at Hive Modular's manufacturing base in Silang, Cavite.
Hive Modular founder and CEO John Avrett told The Independent Investor that scale is everything in modular construction: "One of the biggest challenges in modular construction is keeping our factory running at or near full capacity." He also pointed to the speed advantage of off-site construction: "The speed of modular construction is a game changer," noting that the approach can reduce total project time by over 50 percent and cut greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 40 percent compared to traditional construction.
The article notes a significant institutional milestone: Ayala Land Premier has committed to purchasing a Hive Modular unit as a showroom and site office in the region, an early signal of mainstream developer adoption. Alesea co-founder Cory Pavia is also quoted on the design fit between Hive Modular and Alesea's hospitality brand.
The Independent Investor also covers Hive Modular's banking relationships, including an established partnership with UnionBank and ongoing discussions with other major Philippine banks, alongside our future ambitions in the United States export market.
We're grateful to The Independent Investor PH and reporter Christian Francisco for giving this partnership the depth it deserves, and for showing investors how Philippine modular construction is starting to scale.
