In 2009, Romolo V. Nati, an award-winning Italian Architect with experience across Europe in design, real estate, and property development, came to the Philippines and met Jose (Jojo) D. Leviste III, an accomplished Filipino lawyer whose education and work experience was garnered in the Philippines, United States, and Australia.

Both sharing the same passion for promoting sustainable development in the Philippines and with the support of Dr. Jose P. Leviste Jr., a seasoned renewable energy entrepreneur, corporate social responsibility advocate, and sustainable mining investor, they established Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI) which later became Italpinas Development Corporation (IDC).

IDC is committed to environmental sustainability through elegant architectural solutions and trademark contemporary Italian aesthetic. Its focus is on hyper-prospective emerging cities and other next-wave locations in the Philippines. With its unique design philosophy, IDC is committed to sustainable developments in harmony with the environment to bring value to investors, end-users, and the community.

Now celebrating its 10th year of “Living by Design”, IDC has had noteworthy events in the story of the first decade of its growth.
