Villar Land Holding Corp. is accelerating the development of Villar City, its flagship 3,500-hectare estate spanning southern Metro Manila and Cavite, with the rollout of strategically located commercial lots aimed at investors, businesses, and developers looking to tap into a rapidly emerging growth corridor.
Positioned as the next major business hub in the South, Villar City benefits from decades of strategic landbanking, now supported by key infrastructure such as the C-5 South Link, MCX, and upcoming projects including Villar Avenue, LRT extensions, and a planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.
Commercial lots
Since the property is still on its early phase of transformation commercial lots within the development are still competitive versus more established districts nearby.
For instances, commercial lot prices in Villar City’s Innovation District start at P345,000 per square meter, offering competitive value versus nearby districts like Filinvest City (P396K–P592K/sqm) and Ayala’s Cerca Alabang (P420K/sqm). These rates reflect Villar Land’s fair-value pricing strategy and the early-stage potential for significant capital appreciation.
As VIllar City continues to develop into center for business, lifestyle, culture and leisure, ongoing and upcoming developments are driving strong potential for property value growth and creating more opportunities for early investors.
New developments
Recent and upcoming developments are central to Villar City’s positioning as a future-ready urban center. Among the newest is Forresta, a 118-hectare mixed-use estate combining premium residences, green open spaces, and commercial areas. Opened in early 2024, Forresta Café has quickly become a popular community anchor, drawing in foot traffic and signaling strong early interest from retail and food operators.
Villar Land is also constructing two 18-hole championship golf courses designed in collaboration with global firm Curley-Wagner Golf Design, offering not only leisure appeal but also value for hospitality, events, and tourism-oriented businesses. Adjacent to these will be the Villar City Stadium, envisioned as a regional venue for sports, concerts, and large-scale events, further increasing foot traffic and investor interest in surrounding commercial zones.
In line with its vision to be a cultural and educational destination, Villar City has partnered with the University of the Philippines-Dasmariñas to establish a new campus within the estate. This move is expected to attract student populations, academic institutions, and supporting businesses such as co-living spaces, bookstores, cafés, and learning hubs.
To promote healthier and more connected lifestyles, the city is rolling out active mobility initiatives including bike trails, jogging paths, fun runs, and car-free Sundays. These enhancements are designed not only to improve quality of life but also to support commercial activity by increasing weekly foot traffic across the estate.
Altogether, these upcoming projects form a synergistic masterplan designed to unlock long-term value for investors. From institutional tenants to entrepreneurs, Villar City offers a rare chance to be part of a new commercial frontier―where land is not just bought, but strategically positioned for growth.
