North and Central Luzon are witnessing a transformation into economic powerhouses, fueled by their strategic locations, available land bank, and expanding industrial sectors. Vista Land, the Philippines’ leading integrated property developer, has recognized this potential, particularly in provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Bataan, where the company is situating its collection of master planned developments known as Vista Estates. These integrated communities are crucial for bolstering local employment opportunities and attracting foreign investments, which are vital for regional progress. The proactive approach of the company aligns with national economic goals, reinforcing its role as a catalyst for growth in these areas.
Growth centers: Emerging economic powerhouses
In Balanga, Bataan, Vista Land is setting the groundwork for Verida, a vast 50-hectare master planned development that incorporates smart city principles and sustainable initiatives. The estate is designed with the latest advancements in green technology, offering an eco-friendly environment that fosters innovation. As Balanga attracts business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, technology companies, and educational institutions, particularly due to its proximity to the upcoming Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge, Verida will provide the necessary infrastructure and amenities to facilitate the transformation of the city into an urban center.
This initiative not only enhances the regional appeal but also promotes a conscious lifestyle reflected in green spaces, efficient transportation systems, and modern residential options. Verida aims to create a balanced urban ecosystem that meets the needs of its residents while respecting the environment.
Amistelle, a condominium property in San Fernando, Pampanga, addresses the surging demand for residential options in this regional commerce and transportation hub. Its location along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), coupled with its proximity to Clark International Airport and Subic Bay, positions it as a crucial link between North Luzon and Metro Manila. This connectivity facilitates trade, tourism, and economic activities, making it an attractive destination for both residents and businesses.
In addition to its economic advantages, San Fernando is embedded in Kapampangan culture and heritage. The development of Amistelle aims to capture this essence, providing residents with a modern lifestyle while immersing them in cultural diversity. The development not only meets the growing demand but also enhances the appeal of the city.
Bulacan is undergoing a significant transformation with the construction of the New Manila International Airport (Bulacan International Airport), a multi-billion-dollar project expected to revolutionize the provincial connectivity to domestic and international markets. This airport is anticipated to boost economic activities significantly, driving the demand for housing, commercial spaces, and infrastructure developments.
Surrounding areas are witnessing the emergence of industrial zones and commercial centers, positioning Bulacan as one of the fastest-growing provinces in Central Luzon. The strategic investments of Vista Land in this area are designed to cater to the anticipated real estate boom. By developing integrated communities and enterprise centers, Vista Land aims to attract local entrepreneurs and multinational companies, contributing to the economic vibrance of the city.
Santa Maria is rapidly evolving into a nexus for residential and commercial activities, benefiting from its proximity to Metro Manila. Its accessibility, particularly through NLEX, makes it an ideal site for master planned developments like The Crescent. The 38-hectare New Orleans-in-miniature will be built according to the same structured street pattern and architectural enchantment as the French Quarter along Bourbon Street in New Orleans, beloved for its spirited nightlife and culinary wonders. The locale is a composite of French Creole and Spanish art, architecture, food, and language—with other cultures pitching in. It is poised to cater to professionals and expanding families, allowing them to take advantage of the increasing employment opportunities in the area.
Similarly, Malolos, the provincial capital, is transitioning into a metropolitan center, leveraging its historical significance and position near the planned airport. The city is experiencing substantial infrastructure enhancements and the development of new business districts and residential communities. Notable is Provence, a sprawling 350-hectare development designed in the French-Mediterranean style, which aims to provide a unique living experience that harmonizes with the heritage of the city. The DOT Property Philippines winner of Best Township Development in 2023 captures the essence of Provençal architecture with a contemporary flair.
Provence is located along McArthur Highway, close to the Tabang and Pulilan exits of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). It can also be reached via track on the Tutuban-Malolos Railway, the Malolos-Clark Railway, the North-South Commuter Railway, and by air at the gateways of the Clark International Airport and the New Manila International Airport.
Baliwag is positioning itself as an industrial center, capitalizing on its status as a gateway to North Luzon. Major retail and commercial developments are rising in the locale, supported by improved road networks such as the Plaridel Bypass Road. These facilitate connectivity for integrated communities such as Castellana, fostering an environment conducive to business growth and residential living. The 60-hectare Castellana is master planned into three zones that border residential communities, granting each access to work, leisure, and service institutions. The zones will come with mid-rise residential towers and mixed-use buildings.
