More facilities to rise in Villar City

Manuel B. Villar Jr. is launching the next phase of development for the 3,500-hectare Villar City in the southern part of Metro Manila, according to a report by BusinessMirror.

“One year after we launched Villar City, we are now firming up plans for two golf courses, a church, an events arena, a prestigious university, an integrated entertainment complex, a partnership with a renowned hospital, and more road networks to cut travel time across Cavite and Metro Manila, among other features. These components will be spread throughout Villar City to cater to the evolving needs not only of today’s market but also those of the next generation of homeowners,” Villar said.

The businessman added this new phase marks his commitment to sustain the development of Villar City, an emerging, expansive megalopolis that connects 15 towns and cities across Metro Manila and Cavite.

Launched in August last year, this massive integrated development is envisioned to become a thriving community where economic, lifestyle, cultural and leisure activities will converge. Rising amid 10 million trees, 100 cafes and verdant pocket parks, the community will feature modern districts including a CBD, a Tech Valley, university town, and a premier lifestyle hub, along with leisure and recreational facilities meant to nurture health and well-being.

“We carefully selected the different components that will be included in Villar City to ensure that future residents and workers will get to live in a safe and healthy, yet modern and complete environment, where they can be near nature, have access to lush open spaces, walk around the community freely, while still enjoying top tier facilities, leisure hubs and other recreational options, all in an interconnected area,” Villar said.

The golf courses, arena, and integrated entertainment complex with a casino will provide avenues for residents and guests to relax, unwind or stay active, the company said. The university and hospital will meanwhile ensure convenient access to premier education and topnotch medical facilities, respectively, without needing to go out of this expansive community.

All these will complement the projects previously unveiled and completed in this mega city.

The Villar Group opened last year a crucial infrastructure in Villar City the 10-kilometer, 10-lane Villar Avenue that connects Las Piñas, Bacoor and the university district of Dasmariñas City in Cavite. Through Prime Asset Ventures Inc., Villar“s privately held power and infrastructure conglomerate, it also completed the P3.8-billion acquisition of the 4-kilometer Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway.

Currently, close to 900 hectare of the 3,500 hectare in Villar City have been activated or developed by Vista Land. These developed areas are home to neighborhoods, shopping complexes and offices.

“We’ve only just begun our work. This will take many years—even decades—to complete. But we’re already laying the groundwork, filling up this beautiful blank canvas to create the new center of gravity of Metro Manila,” Villar said.
