The emergence of metropolitan hubs in North and Central Luzon signifies a crucial shift in the trajectory in the Philippines, combining cultural preservation and economic progress to create a wealth of opportunities for the national future. The collaborative efforts between the government and private sectors in accelerating expansions across these regions are poised to elevate them as major players, attracting attention from Southeast Asia and beyond.
Vista Land, the Philippines’ leading integrated property developer, is introducing a series of master planned developments and condominium properties that aligns with the rapid urbanization of North and Central Luzon. These self-sustaining environments aim to support local growth while striking a balance between tradition and modernization.
North and Central Luzon house some of the most culturally significant tourist sites in the country, which blends historic charm and modern conveniences. This juxtaposition appeals to travelers seeking experiences rooted in both heritage and innovation, giving these regions a distinctive edge.
Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ilocos Sur, is celebrated for its well-preserved colonial architecture and profound cultural importance. With road enhancements like the Luzon Spine Expressway Network, access to Vigan will improve significantly, attracting more visitors to its iconic cobblestone streets and ancestral homes. Vista Land is developing an integrated community called Querencia in this scenic city, designed to offer modern conveniences while complementing its historical charm.
Echoing the Mission-style architecture that rose largely in Alta California––and named for the historic Mission trail that dots highway 101, the 16-hectare Querencia will be charming hamlets and tower clusters of dazzling white stucco topped with the undulating clay-tile roofs so loved in the California landscape. Architecture reminiscent of Sta. Barbara that will blanket the development will breathe fascinating new life into Bantay Querencia’s commercial hub will be named Azulejos, is inspired by the extraordinary “Paseo Nuevo”––Sta. Barbara’s sprawling open-air shopping and dining center.
In Alaminos, Pangasinan, home to the renowned Hundred Islands National Park, Ylana aims to enhance the regional eco-tourism appeal while promoting sustainable practices. Ylana is inspired by the islands that made the city a sought-after destination. As a Resort Destination in Pangasinan, the township promises an idyllic escape—residences with tranquil sanctuaries offering facilities, services, and lifestyle amenities. The vertical cluster will be linked to commercial and business centers through pathways landscaped with tropical greenery and blooms.
As Alaminos transitions into a modern tourist destination with improved infrastructure, the focus of Vista Land on environment-friendly initiatives will help preserve the natural beauty of the city, attracting eco-conscious residents.
Subic, once a naval base in Zambales, has transformed into a vibrant tourism and economic hub in Central Luzon. Montessa will seamlessly blend natural allure with thoughtfully designed amenities, building a development that appeals to both residents and tourists. Its strategic location near Metro Manila, along with easy access to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), makes it an ideal getaway for relaxation and adventure.
Situated in Brgy. Aningway, Subic, Zambales, the 33-hectare Montessa is a play on the Spanish word for mountain, in tribute to the majestic sierras that surround Subic. The sprawling township will be developed according to four key design principles: a symmetrical Mediterranean palette; lyrical landscapes; a legacy of wellness retreats; and an overall bespoke experience allowing residents to live the way they choose.target=”out”
Master planned into several zones, a lifestyle center linking the zones together is fitted out to mimic Pueblos Blancos, a white-washed village with mesmerizing vistas of southern seaboard in Andalucía, Spain. Montessa features pathways and streets landscaped with tropical greenery and blooms, with sculptures and water features slipping over mosaic streets and building facades.
Vista Land: Leading the charge in North and Central Luzon
These master planned developments coincide with a broader infrastructure boom in North and Central Luzon, which includes expressways, rail systems, and new airports. These improvements will transform the mobility landscape, allowing faster connections within Luzon and to Metro Manila, reducing congestion, and promoting smoother logistics.
