Brittany Celebrates Art And Ancestry At Avant

Manila Bulletin (January 2013) - Brittany, the Vista Land subsidiary created to cater to the country’s higher-end and privileged market, honored the Christmas tradition of being with family with an exhibit titled “Color and Form in Genes” in partnership with the Liongoren Gallery.

The exhibition showcased the country’s masters of the visual arts and their equally talented offspring and kin in a tribute to parentage and lineage. It was held at the architectural opus – Avant at The Fort.
Opened on Nov. 16 at the main lobby of the Avant, now rising in the heart of the Fort Bonifacio Global City, “Color & Forms in Genes” put on display the creations of some of the country’s most renowned artist families.

The show was a collection of representational and free form sculptures in bronze and wood by National Artist Napoleon Abueva and his son, Mulawin; the bewitching brass sculptures of brothers Ferdie and Michael Cacnio; the exquisite fiberglass creations of Jun Vicaldo – 2011 Awardee of the Metrobank Prize for Achievement in Sculpture – and his daughter Erline; figurative paintings in different media by the brilliant De, Pios, Gig Sr., Simkin, Paulo, and Aileen Lanuza; the arresting acrylics of the highly-esteemed Angel Cacnio; abstract paintings by the modernists Alfredo Liongoren and former UP College of Fine Arts Dean Nestor Olarte Vinluan, with their equally gifted children Erik and Avid Liongoren, and Liv Vinluan; and the paintings of the multi-awarded and inimitable Samson brothers of Antipolo – Jerson, Julius, and Ray.
A sketching session with the featured artists earlier in the day kept the guests enthralled.  Vista Residences’ COO Maribeth Tolentino delivered the opening remarks and was followed with an uplifting message from Norma and Alfredo Liongoren – owners and curators of the Liongoren Gallery in Quezon City.
Part of the event’s proceeds will go to Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, Inc. (OB) – a DSWD registered social work agency that works to fight hunger, disease, unemployment, illiteracy, and abuse – one family, one community at a time.

Brittany, for the very privileged
By exceeding simple opulence and moving into innovative and world-class design, Brittany seeks to raise the level of life and living of the country’s privileged few to unreached pinnacles that will make being among the country’s high society something to treasure and strive for.

With its selection of architectural masterpieces, Brittany has created a level of living beyond “grand.”  Every aspect of the building’s design and construction are leading edge in both function and form, with the end of creating the most magnificent and well-crafted domiciles in the country.

With a portfolio that remains unparalleled in the high-end segment of the country’s property sector, Brittany currently ranks among the top-listed property firms in the country in terms of total assets, earnings and market capitalization.

To date, Brittany offers four exquisite towers for society’s elite.  In the middle of the country’s finest and most exciting shopping, entertainment and business hub, the Mosaic stands in Greenbelt – a testament to the sophisticated yet laidback luxury Makati’s denizens work hard for and appreciate.

The high-rise will be a showcase of luxurious space and intense attention to detail – aesthetic or otherwise – that Brittany is known for.

Soon to be another Legaspi Village landmark is KL Mosaic.  The elegant 32-story condominium stands within Greenbelt’s perimeter pioneering the concept of “Art-chitecture” – the blending of elegant art with building design.  The tower is designed by W.V. Coscolluela & Associates with six facades – not the usual four, and it will boast “The Biggest Little Room” – a gallery to house the famed fine art collection of the Kalaw-Ledesma clan.

Brittany has also decided to stake its claim on the Bonifacio Global City with The Hudson at The Fort – a mixed-use, 28-story spectacle of glass, steel and stone that will put a modern spin to the other-worldliness of the Manhattan’s Soho and Greenwich Village with well-appointed dining, retail and service establishments in the midst of an al fresco backdrop.

Then, there is the breathtaking setting for the unprecedented and incomparable “Color & Forms in Genes,” Avant – also ruling over the Makati skyline at the Global City.

At 38 stories, Avant stands at the heart of the world-class crescent Park West in the Fort Bonifacio Global City as a beacon for green architecture, sustainability and keeping the earth rich – once again as an homage to family and lineage – for the generations to come.

Crown Asia Residences: Living beside history

Malaya - Villar-led Vista Land and Lifescape, Inc. is sprucing up the compound of the late president Jose P. Laurel in Mandaluyong City with the development of a  two-tower condominium,  Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack, right beside the historical house of the late president. The project will be formally launched on Saturday, July 28.

The three-storey Laurel Mansion was built by the late president of the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic  stands on a-6,000 square meter (sq.m.) of prime land in Mandaluyong City.  A native of Tanauan, Batangas, Jose P. Laurel built the house on No. 515 Shaw boulevard  several years after he stepped down as president.

“The late President loved golf and wanted to have a house near the Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club, where he was wounded in an assassination attempt while playing golf in 1943. The mansion occupies 1,000 square meters of the land that was once overrun with cogon,” Vista Land said.

The construction of the Shaw boulevard house was said to have been rushed to be ready in time for the arrival of James Langley, a publisher of a New Hampshire newspaper. Laurel and Langley headed a group that forged the Laurel-Langley Agreement of 1956, which extended parity rights to Americans. In 1957, Laurel hosted a luncheon in Langley’s honor at the mansion.

Previously called Villa Pacienca, in honor of the late President’s wife, Pacienca Hidalgo, the Laurel Mansion is said to be the biggest of the three residences that the late president built ---  one in Tanauan and the other r in Paco, Manila, dubbed the Villa Peñafrancia.

It would later  become the headquarters of the Nacionalista Party.

Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack would have two towers, one with 36 storeys the other with 38. The development offers  studio units, one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom units with areas ranging between 32 sq.m. and  49.2 sq.m., priced between P2.2 million and P7 million.

“Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack has the most remarkable location of all of Crown  condominiums to date.  It will rise on prime land, as it is located on the corner of Laurel street and Shaw boulevard that once was the home of former President Jose P. Laurel and Vice President Salvador Laurel,” Vista Land said.

The “elegant” Laurel Mansion will become a commercial hub connecting the two graceful towers that will comprise Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack, the company also said.

“Probably the most ideal place to live in Mandaluyong, Crown Asia Residences’ newest residence will offer a view of the Wack Wack golf course -- the country’s oldest course, also deemed one of the finest in the world,” Vista Land said.

“Standing right on Shaw Boulevard – one of the city’s major arteries – it will provide immediate access to Shangri-La Plaza Mall, SM Megamall and Liberty Center, as well as the busy Shaw MRT station and EDSA itself,” it added.

Vista Land also said that as in all Crown Asia Residences developments, the Wack Wack complex will offer amenities that “modern-day Filipino families need to live the life they’ve always dreamed and worked very hard for.”

“The entrances and rotundas will be beautifully landscaped.  There will be a swimming pool, playground, basketball court, and a gym.  Function halls will serve as places for work, entertainment and community bonding, while 24/7 security facilities will provide the safety and comfort one needs to live in peace.  Every home will be designed with the same attention to detail and space-planning expertise Vista Residences is known for,” Vista Land said.

Sen.  Manuel Villar bought the house of the late president in 2008, reported to have been unoccupied for seven years before it was acquired.

The Laurels sold the property, it was reported, under the agreement that the historical mansion will not be torn down.

The Villars’ Vista Land is  aggressive in its property development, tapping into the growth potential of the property market in the back of improving economic condition, accommodating interest rates and the big backlog in unserviced demand.

Vista Land recently announced plans to invest P2 billion in the country’s “tourism highways” of Vigan in Ilocos Sur, Tagbilaran in Bohol, and Puerto Princesa in Palawan.

Vigan is famous for its Spanish-era houses and cobblestone streets, as well as its unique street food; Bohol is known for its “Chocolate Hills” and the indigenous tarsier; while Puerto Princesa gained worldwide prominence with the declaration of its underground river as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the Modern World.

The projects, which will cover a total of 34 hectares, involve the construction of about 2,400 housing units, will have a market value estimated at P5 billion. They are among the  residential subdivisions that Vista Land plans to launch in 2012. In 2011, the company launched 23 projects worth a total of P21 billion.
“We have by far the broadest geographic reach of any developer with a land bank of 1,830 hectares,” said Manuel Paolo Villar Vista Land president.

Villar and other Vista Land officials also expressed confidence of hitting its target growth of 18-20 percent for the year as it reported its first quarter income at P1.06 billion, 22 percent higher than the P873 million reported a year ago.

Vista Land has allocated P32 billion as capital expenditures for the year, eyeing  to launch 32 residential subdivision projects nationwide.

Villar said the company will open 20 expansion projects in its numerous locations around the country as the company enjoyed brisk sales from the segment through projects been launched earlier. Villar also said that they will also launch horizontal developments in 12 areas that it will be entering for the first time since there is a need for more affordable housing units.

Camella dev’ts to dot PH by 2013

Malaya - Vista Land and Lifescape, Inc. through its Camella Homes brand has become the “Jollibee” and “Shoemart” of the real estate industry.

“We have discovered that  Camella is a preferred brand. We’re now like Jollibee or Shoemart. Every time we open (in an area), there is a magnitude of business  in the office. And so we feel good to be about not only giving more business to Vista Land but we are able to provide goods to our country nationwide,” said Vista Land founder Manuel Villar.

Speaking at the sidelines of Vista Land’s fund-raising ceremony Wednesday, Villar said the company expects to cover the Philippines by next year. Vista Land raised a P4.8 billion unsecured fixed-rate note from a syndicate of banks.

“We have decided to take advantage of the countryside. Not everyone knows that we have been putting up Camella Homes everywhere. Tuguegarao, Isabela, Candon, Vigan, all the way to Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Butuan, GenSan, Butuan. Now we are even in second-tier cities like Pagadian, Marbel, Valencia,” said Villar.

Key to Vista Land’s success in making  Camella an everyday brand is its focus on addressing the need of the overseas Filipinos who desire to have a house of their own in their place of origin.

“Before  (the properties they can  buy were limited) in major urban areas like Quezon City, Cebu City, and Davao. But now, there are Camella Homes in any major hometowns,” Villar said.

“That is our objective. We are eyeing about 15 to 20 more cities. By the end of this year, we would have opened in another eight cities.  We can say that by the end of next year, we would have covered this country.

In home building, we are way, way ahead of the competition. We want to increase this. We feel good about (the fact) that we are able to provide this service to our people,” he Villar said.

Having successfully developed the Camella brand, Vista Land  has other brands that  cater to the higher income segment of the market, Vista Land is also focusing on developing its retail space portfolio, setting up 5,000 to 50,000 square meters  of “small malls” in the designated commercial areas of its developments.
Vista Land  has   five mall developments set for completion --- Evia in Portofino in Las Pinas, one in Sucat, one in Antipolo, one in Muntinlupa, and another one in San Fernando. The company targets to bring the  portfolio to 50 in five years.

“Every year, there will be 10 (malls) and the whole objective is to put up 50 malls in five years,” Villar said.
Villar said the company has  also started construction of two more malls located in  Cagayan de Oro and in Cebu City.

“These are two of the programs we are pursuing now. We are very glad of the results. These two (residential and rental leasing) are very profitable for us. These will create a complete Vista land,” he said.
“We will now be known not only as a house-and-lot developer. We are now very much in the condominium (development) although it is only a very small phase. We also want to be in malls and other areas of real estate,” Villar  added.

Villar, however, expressed hope that the market will soon realize the company’s competitive advantage in the end-user segment of the property sector and have that reflected in Vista Land’s share price.

At yesterday’s close of P4.40 per share, the company is trading at less than 10 times its earnings per share, according to Villar.

Villar explained that what differentiates Vista Land from other property firms is that its developments are primarily horizontal and for end-users.

“Of the top 12 developer in the Philippines, we are the only one that is primarily horizontal. That is why I want to differentiate our market from the condo market. Yes, we also have condo (developments) but our market is basically end-user. When you talk about the 3.6-million backlog, you are talking about the housing backlog. Partially, there is a condominium (market) but a big part of the condo (market) is an investment market. But our market is 98 percent end-user. That’s different,” said Villar.

Villar said that given the company’s competitive advantage in a particular segment of the market, Vista Land’s valuation shouldn’t be far behind its peers in the market.

“If you look at other companies that take more than 10, we should have a double digit PE of 10 12, for a market controlled by us. But to me if we could increase that we should be having P42 billion in market cap, right now we only have P37 billion,” said Villar.

“To me a decent amount is not less than 10 times PE,” added Villar.

“Jollibee get a premium for being a leader in their industry. Shoemart gets a premium. Why are we not getting a premium for example for being number one in the industry.... To me, there is no reason why our PE has to be lesser than the competitor’s. Because here, we have a dominance of a very important sector of the market. In our market, we don’t have competition,” Villar said.

Vista Land officials are confident of hitting a target growth of 18 to 20 percent for the year as it reported its first quarter income at P1.06 billion, 22 percent higher than the P873 million reported a year ago.

Vista Land has allocated P32 billion as capital expenditures for the year with an eye to launch 32 residential subdivision projects nationwide.

Villar said the company will open 20 expansion projects in its numerous locations around the country as the company enjoyed brisk sales from the segment through projects been launched earlier. Villar also said that they will also launch horizontal developments in 12 areas that it will be entering for the first time since there is a need for more affordable housing units.

For 2013, Vista Land expects to hit a revenue of P20 billion, with profits at P4.2 billion.

Camella Bohol

Camella, one of the country’s most preferred and trusted real estate brand, continues the trend for innovation as it launches multi-million peso projects in multiple locations across the Philippines.

Camella is the subsidiary of Vista Land and Lifescapes—the country’s largest homebuilder—that caters to the mid-market segment. It has built more than 250,000 homes to date and maintains a strong presence in Mega Manila and 28 other key provincial destinations and 56 cities and municipalities.

Like its mother company, Camella understands that it is the ultimate dream of every Filipino to have a home. In a 2011 study by Colliers Research, Vista Land came out as the runaway leading homebuilder in the country with the widest geographical reach. With its immense selection of lots only, houses and lots and condominiums, Camella has been creating master planned communities and “cities” in key locations all over the country, allowing Filipinos to live how they want to live, where they want to live.

Jerylle Luz Quismundo, Camella president, reveals new ventures that will create unprecedented growth aimed at surpassing last year’s success. She says, “We are enhancing our formula for success. While others are still thinking of ways to bridge the gap in the housing sector, we are already building and expanding in ways never seen before.”

Expanding its portfolio in the Visayas region is of particular excitement to the group. “There is an immense sense of pride in the massive expansion efforts we have undertaken,” Quismundo says. “Filipinos don’t just live in Metro Manila and its environs. The great majority have chosen to build their lives in their home towns. The land there is beautiful, the quality of life is incredible, and we would like to be there for them.”

One of Camella’s most exciting developments is its Bohol property, launched last June 15, to unprecedented new sales records.

Touted to be the new Boracay, Bohol is not just a tourist’s paradise, it’s a prime choice for retirees, entrepreneurs seeking greener pastures, an ideal second home for people who love nature, and, with the bullish growth of its tourism industry, a wise choice for investment. It is home to the famed Panglao beach and its variety of resorts, divespots in Pamilican, the world-famous Chocolate Hills, the endangered tarsier, and historic churches.

Living In The Best Places In The Country
Today, the vision of both Camella and Vista Land has evolved into creating more communities in all prime locations in the Philippines, building world-class neighborhoods in the most progressive and booming regions of the country.  It is a natural progression from the average Filipino’s desire to live in or close to the business and entertainment hubs of his chosen city or province.

Camella Bohol is located on the island’s southwestern tip. Here, one’s windows open up to a panoramic view of the whimsical Banat-i Hill, the only hill in Tagbilaran, the capital and the island’s only city. This also offers views of the Bohol Sea. On especially clear days, the island of Siquijor can be spotted.

The homes in Camella Bohol are inspired by the sun-kissed beauty of the Mediterranean with colors that echo sand, sea, ocean birds, and the vibrant vegetation that decorate European seaside villages.

Camella Bohol is the first community in Bohol that offers full amenities, in much the same way every development under the Camella brand does. Open spaces fringed by wide tree-lined roads and lushly landscaped greenery create the feeling of more room to stretch, run and grow. For leisure and neighborly bonding, there is a swimming pool, basketball court, playground, and pathways for a gentle stroll or a brisk jog.  Gated entranceways and roving security guards provide the residents with round-the-clock protection.
At the heart is the Community Center, where commercial businesses (a grocery, drugstore, bakery, coffee shop, etc.) will be based. There will likewise be a clubhouse for the community’s use.

Key to all Camella and Vista Land developments is the selection of the most convenient locations in the cities chosen for sites. Camella Bohol, nesting in the island’s capital, is extremely accessible to the province’s major shopping areas, hospitals, churches, schools, and business hubs. The Holy Name University, University of Bohol, the Bohol Institute of Technology and Holy Spirit School are within 12 minutes away. The Tagbilaran City Community Hospital and Coop Hospital are even closer.  For fun and entertainment, there are the Island City and Bohol Quality Malls, less than 10 minutes from the gates.  The airport is an easy 20 minutes away and if one prefers ocean travel, the seaport is close by at 15 minutes.  For those who need a little spiritual upliftment, Baclayon Church and St. Peter the Worker Parish are 10 minutes from the community.

How Do You Wish to Live?  
Communities Philippines is the marketing and corporate vehicle through which Vista Land offers residential properties outside the Mega Manila area.  It has been building houses and developing communities in the country’s provinces for the middle and upper middle income segments.

Aside from being the first residential development in Bohol to offer full amenities to its residents, Camella—via Communities Philippines—is the first developer to cater to all market segments. For start-up families, it offers the Lessandra Series; for growing families, there is the Camella Series; and for upwardly mobile families, the Crown Series. Each home is built with the same high, global-standard quality, sustainable construction materials and practices, as well as the unmatched space planning expertise Vista Land has built its reputation on.

NORTHPOINT-Davao: Dreams become larger than life

SAY "Davao" and what immediately comes to mind is the hugeness of the province and of Davao City itself, popularly considered the capital city of Mindanao. Boasting a wide expanse of highways and a bustling international airport and seaport, Davao City is indeed one of the busiest business and tourist hubs south of the Philippines.

Local and foreign tourists certainly wouldn’t want to miss out on nature at its finest in Davao’s captivating beach resorts, dive spots, and lush mountain hideaways among which is the Philippines’ highest peak, Mount Apo. While cosmopolitan Davao is fast giving Metro Manila and Metro Cebu a run for their money when it comes to sophisticated living and dining.


Davao is all about the good life. The urban lifestyle combined with the warmth of living in the province has drawn and continues to draw individuals and families from all walks of life. Small wonder that Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. has chosen Davao City to launch Northpoint, its first vertical residential development outside of mega Manila.

Warmly received by the city’s residents and investors, this five-story British Colonial inspired structure has come to represent stylish living for those seeking peace and privacy while still wanting to be close to the city’s major business and entertainment hubs. Manchester, Northpoint’s first tower, is almost sold out. Birmingham, the second tower, has been unveiled to accommodate the increasing number of buyers.


"Northpoint is another sign of our aggressive expansion, treading unexplored territories. Living in a condominium outside of Metro Manila used to be unheard of," said Jing Serrano, president and CEO of Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. "However, we know the pulse of our market and have seen how fast-growing cities, like Davao, would welcome such developments."

Located in an elevated area at the corner of JP Laurel Avenue and Buhangin Road, Northpoint takes the lead in offering Davaoeños facilities that discriminating urban dwellers demand. It is a stone’s throw away from Davao’s booming business, education and leisure district. Residents will enjoy such amenities as a closed circuit TV system that homeowners can easily access via their own cable connection; a clubhouse with multi-purpose halls, meditation pond and fitness gym; an al fresco café; a salinated swimming pool; a wellness pool (the first in Davao); an internal shuttle service, which makes Northpoint the only condo community in the city with such an amenity; pocket parks and gardens and a children’s playground. Northpoint is also the first condo development in Davao whose units are Wi-Fi and cable ready, with the clubhouse offering free Wi-Fi.

Two things make Northpoint even more special. First, the property houses The Mansion, one of Davao’s historical treasures. Formerly owned by the Scottish family, Ker, this gem of a structure will be restored and is envisioned to be a museum and premier venue for public and private functions. Second, Northpoint is Davao City’s first Pine Estate, boasting lush foliage, a natural stream, blooming gardens, and scenic green surroundings. Over two million pesos worth of Caribbean pine trees imported from New Zealand were transplanted to the property, adding to the already verdant environment. Nature preserved is close to any Davaoeño’s heart and will definitely appeal to the city’s ever-increasing number of settlers from the neighboring provinces.

"We take pride in offering Northpoint to Davao, as our response to this charming city’s rapid growth," said Arthur Secuya, architect, and Planning and Design Group Head of Northpoint. "People nowadays seek serenity while wanting to be closely connected to their businesses. This is the kind of lifestyle we offer here."

Vista Residences, the condominium development arm of Vista Land & Lifescapes, the country’s largest homebuilder, entered the market in 2006 to offer Filipinos the easy convenience of condominium living. Combining the space-planning savvy of the country’s top architects, an innate knack for selecting accessible and attractive locations to fit a wide range of needs, budgets and lifestyles, Vista Residences has set new standards for affordable mid-to-high-rise living. Northpoint included, Vista Residences to date boasts 15 one-of-a-kind, exquisitely designed multi-level condominiums: In Makati, Mosaic in Greenbelt, KL Mosaic in Legaspi Village, The Gallery in Salcedo, and Laureano di Trevi in Pasong Tamo; in Taguig, Avant at the Fort and Pacific Residences; in Quezon City, Symphony, PineCrest, Madison Place and Wil Tower; in Ortigas, The Currency; in Manila, Crown Tower; in Sucat, Presidio and The Marfori.

Camella Ormoc: 2nd Project in Leyte

Camella to start second housing project in Leyte

TACLOBAN -- Driven by increasing demand for housing, Camella Communities will start its second residential subdivision project in Leyte.

Camella Leyte general manager Geraldine S. Gascon said work on the new project in Ormoc City would start next year.

“We will introduce the product to the sales networks on Oct. 10 during seller’s launch,” Ms. Gascon told BusinessWorld in an interview.

Camella Ormoc will rise in Brgy. Tambulilid near the Vista Land’s La Pradrera, a project launched five years ago. It has over 100 households.

“Many people here want bigger homes with unique amenities,” Ms. Gascon said.

Camella Communities is working on its first project in Leyte in Palo town. The Palo project is the first community built by a Manila-based developer in the province.

The company launched the project in Palo’s Brgy. Campetic last year.

About 80% of nearly 400 units have been sold.

The proposed housing project in Ormoc meanwhile will have about 300 units of townhomes and single-detached units.

Ms. Gascon said the firm has sold most housing units to overseas Filipino workers and their families.

Camella is one of four subsidiaries of Villar-led Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc.

Vista Land operates under five brands -- Brittany that sells house-and-lot units for as much as P9 million each, Crown Asia for units worth P3.5 million to P9 million, Camella Homes for units worth P3.5 million and below, Communities Philippines that sells Camella Homes in the provinces and condominium arm Vista Residences.
