Lausanne at Crosswinds Advertorial on Property Report PH – The Philippine Star

Anyone who has seen Crosswinds in Tagaytay, the Villar-owned well-loved destination for travel, leisure, and luxury, must have left with a lasting memory and must have been impressed with the charming and quaint district.

But just when you thought the 100-hectare Swiss-inspired community is already perfectly complete, be prepared to be blown away yet again as the wind here takes you to greater heights to reveal another premiere residential development—Lausanne at Crosswinds.

The newest expansion is a sprawling 24-hectare development of undulating hills with enchanting panoramic views of the lush hills of Tagaytay, the calm Laguna de Bay, and the Metro Manila skyline. Lausanne takes you to a somnambulant spell, which transports you to a different world, a different era.

Be ready to be mesmerized with a long, tree-lined road, a wide expanse of strikingly colorful blooms, fresh-smelling pine trees, and the crisp mountain air.

Lausanne will offer an ultra-premium limited selection of residential lots—which undoubtedly stands out as a patch of heaven on earth, making it a perfect choice for discerning buyers who want to live close to nature but within the comforts of city life and yet, away from the madding crowd.

Lot sizes range from 400 to 600 square meters, perfect for families looking to have future, permanent destinations outside Metro Manila as the world transitions to a post-pandemic era. There will be 75 lots and 26 units for phase one of the project, comprising 6.5 hectares of development, with 3.8 hectares up for sale.

To live here is to give oneself the permanent experience of living with nature but still just less than two hours away from Metro Manila. Lausanne homeowners have access to the iconic spots of Tagaytay and yet they can easily go home to their mountain hideaways.

Those who don’t want to brave the weekend Tagaytay traffic can just stay in Crosswinds and savor everything it has to offer. Crosswinds itself is already a complete destination, which redefines the essence of going to Tagaytay. It is a one-stop destination to relax and live leisurely in the comforting embrace of Mother Nature.

It has a boutique retail strip, picnic grounds, and a wide array of dining options.

There’s Coffee Project, touted as the most Instagrammable coffee shop in the Philippines. There’s also The Ruined Project? another restaurant with unfinished buildings with exposed ceilings, coarse concrete walls and open holes for windows. There’s also Cafe Voi La, an Asian-inspired cafe and the newly opened Napa, a California-themed coffee house with a twist.

One will also find countless spots to make memories. There’s a giant throne chair, somewhat like Geneva’s chair sculpture; a giant windmill that will transport you to Amsterdam and the view of pine trees as far as the eye can see from the Alpine Greens view deck.

The distinct, perfumed and fragrant piney smell in Crosswinds is also unparalleled, at least in this corner of the country, thanks to 35,000 pine trees planted and grown here.

A project by Brittany

Crosswinds is developed by Brittany, the luxury real estate subsidiary of Villar’s Vista Land & Lifescapes. Its growing portfolio includes the master-planned developments of Portofino and Amore in Alabang, La Posada at The Lakefront in Sucat[f], Georgia Club, Promenade, Belle Reve, and Fontamara in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

With Lausanne at Crosswinds, the Villar-owned premiere residential and leisure destination just got bigger and better and perhaps the most exclusive, luxurious hideaway in Tagaytay.

Owning a piece of luxury in a perfect destination just two hours away from the hustle and bustle of Manila is certainly the best reward one can give to oneself in the post pandemic Philippines.

It’s been more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’re all still scrambling to get a shred of normalcy back into our lives. Some of us try to amuse ourselves by binge-watching new shows, discovering new games, and finding new hobbies. Others turn inwards, vanishing into the comforts of self-improvement and reflection. Yet some of us choose both, electing to enhance our lives by doing something both meaningful and money-smart, such as investing in vacation homes.

Indeed, in a world where trips have practically become a distant memory, a luxury vacation home is undoubtedly a dream come true. Through owning and staying in a luxury home like this, one can carve out a truly private space for oneself, even amid the messy urban jungle.

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of investing in vacation homes in the metro!

Are Vacation Homes Good Investments?

Buying any kind of property, whether in the city or the countryside, requires an enormous amount of investment — and there’s no doubt that you’d want to get your money’s worth. So is buying a home you won’t be staying in for the majority of your time even worth the investment?

Actually, vacation homes are good investments, and for a variety of reasons. According to CNN Business, many people buy a vacation home even before buying a home for themselves. Not only are they amazing vehicles for wealth, but vacation homes can also even be good for personal development. In this section, we’ll discuss the undeniable benefits of owning luxury homes for vacation purposes.

1. Double benefits

First and foremost, buying a vacation home gives you the double benefit of utility. It can be your private sanctuary, a place reserved specifically for relaxation. Although it’s nice to have your place where you stay for most of the year, sometimes things can get a little monotonous and boring. Having a vacation home is great since you can have a full-fledged vacation whenever you want, without going through the hassle of booking and logistics.

Vacation homes can also be a good source of passive income. Because you’re not staying in it all year-round, you can rent the place out to clients when you’re not using it. Not only can you generate extra income, but you’re also helping other people keep themselves sane through the loneliness and isolation of quarantine.

2. Ever-increasing demand

As of October 2020, the vacation home market is on an upward trend. Pageviews for luxury properties are up by 50% compared to 2019, and even sales have increased by a significant percentage.

As mentioned, the quarantine measures have put us all on edge, forcing us to look for respites that don’t involve violating the travel restrictions. The mobility afforded by work-from-home setups and home-based schooling is also negating what used to be everyday considerations, such as daily commutes and all the time constraints that they bring. A combination of these factors drives the demand for vacation homes to new heights, which you can take advantage of quite easily as a new vacation-home owner.

3. Rise of community-focused rental platforms

Online platforms like Airbnb have been on the rise recently due to their convenience

The rise of rental platforms such as VRBO and Airbnb is making it easier to rent luxury homes in the Philippines. Young people, most especially, want simpler means of booking their stay. At the same time, they also value their privacy and freedom above all else. The technological advances of community-focused apps enable just that. With apps like Airbnb, customers can choose from a wide variety of places to stay, with more choices in terms of features and amenities.

These platforms also encourage friendly relationships between hosts and travelers, which can be a welcome difference to commercial accommodations’ standardized and alienating hospitality. Add to that the 24/7 customer support, secure payment protection, and assistance in case of emergencies, and you can see why rental platforms are taking a huge chunk of the accommodations industry.

4. Good potential gains

Now that we know there is a surging market for vacation homes, we can then infer just how easy it is to ensure ROI in this industry. Indeed, one of the many benefits of a vacation home is the constant rate of ROI. This is because, aside from the fact that real estate investments appreciate over time, this specific niche of the market is in demand.

While not all properties will enjoy this particular benefit, vacation homes, in particular, are easy to optimize for constant ROI. For example, you can easily acquire vacation properties located in high capital gain areas that will increase in value over time. Vacation houses capitalize on geographic features, such as sceneries, tourist spots, and even the easy access and complete amenities of the metro.

These days, you can also buy preselling luxury lots for sale for a bargain. This ensures a high-profit margin. These factors combined make vacation properties easy to monetize. You can then gain immediate income by renting them out. As long as you do everything properly, it’s hard to have a losing bet on vacation homes.

5. Secure investment

Although this benefit isn’t unique to just vacation houses, it’s still a great opportunity that you can take advantage of. Vacation houses are a type of physical investment — one that is steadily becoming more in-demand. The population rises every year, and there’s always an influx of aspiring property owners, but the amount of land available stays the same. Investing in a vacation home ensures that your wealth is protected from inflation because any real-estate property will almost certainly rise in value over time.

More than that, vacation homes as an investment are also secure against market upsets, unlike other common investment vehicles such as stocks and bonds, which can swing at the whims of the market. This is illustrated by the recent global pandemic, which has created a lot of doubts and plunged the stock markets into dismal levels but has relatively left the real-estate market untouched worldwide.

Benefits of Getting a Vacation Home in the Metro

We’ve now established that vacation homes are well and good, but what benefit is there to get one in the metro? Doesn’t a vacation home in the quiet countryside, with its peaceful atmosphere and fresh air, sound better?

Actually, while countryside vacation homes are all well and good, they suffer from a few faults, as well. These are easily avoidable when investing in vacation homes in the metro, especially in light of these modern challenges we’re all facing. In this section, we’re going to discuss exactly what those benefits are.

1. Convenient and safe staycation

Vacation homes in the metro allow us to create our own haven without going too far out of the way. A safe and comfortable place where we can get away to whenever we want is even more important today than it was before. Due to Covid restrictions, we’re forced to stay in the confines of our primary homes for long periods of time. 

Although we understand that these measures are for our own good, it doesn’t change the fact that it leaves us feeling cramped and trapped. Staying in one place for too long a time is no fun by anyone’s standards, even if that place is your beloved home. Having a vacation home in the metro is the perfect fix for this. You can easily get away from everything without having to go out of the city, which means you’re not affected by the travel restrictions.

Since it’s also your private dwelling, so you can invite family and friends over for a quiet afternoon of socializing as long as you follow safety protocols. The new environment is going to do wonders for your taxed mind, instead of just staying in the same place you’ve been living in all year.

2. Ideal location

Public transportation, like buses, in the metro, makes it easier to get around.

From establishing businesses to purchasing your dream luxury home, location matters. Especially in the vacation home market, location is an important factor. Although the quiet and peaceful countryside may be nice, nothing beats the convenience of the metro, where all commodities and amenities are within reach. This is arguably one of the best advantages that a luxury house and lot in the metro has over a rural one.

Looking to do something fun? Need to buy something new? Interested in going someplace else? When you’re in the metro, shopping malls and other places for relaxation and leisure are merely a taxi ride away. Purchases can be made easily and without hassle, and many services can even deliver items straight to your doorstep.

The internet and mobile signal connections tend to be consistently strong, as well, unlike in rural areas. In metro vacation houses, you won’t fear missing a family reunion, a call with your special someone, or even a work emergency, all because of the spotty internet.

Lastly, you’re sure to be more secure in urban areas compared to rural ones. Police stations, hospitals, and other emergency services are much nearer compared to the countryside. This takes a load off the mind — not just for you, but for potential renters as well.

3. High appreciation value

Properties in the metro tend to rise in value rather quickly.

Appreciation happens the value of something rises over time. In the countryside, this can be slow and sluggish unless there’s already an established tourism sector. On the other hand, metros are prime areas for development and therefore tend to appreciate faster and higher. This is because there’s always more business being conducted in metropolitan areas almost every year.

Metropolitan areas, aside from being hubs that connect one tourist destination to another, are also rife with business activities that require accommodations. These can be workshops, seminars, conferences, competitions, and training in one way or another. Due to this, there will always be people looking for great places to stay — and with expenses typically paid for by their companies, they often aren’t particularly choosy about the price.

This makes sure that there’s always a market for vacation homes in the cities year-round, which can even be better than the seasonal business that rentals in the countryside bring.

4. Always has the potential to be a permanent home

Perhaps one of the most attractive benefits of having a luxury home in the Philippines is that it gives you the power of choice. You can stay in it yourself for vacations, or you can turn it into a business endeavor and rent it out. But because you truly own it, you can also just choose to live in it as your permanent home any time you choose.

Nothing beats the satisfaction and security of having a reserve home that you can easily switch into if things don’t work out or if you just want a little more variety in your everyday life. Having a vacation home in the metro affords you a choice. Again, it’s in a prime location, and it’s easily accessible and likely to be near prime commodities. There’s no problem with signal or internet connection, and it tends to be safer and more secure compared to rural areas. If you so choose, you can easily have a taste of these benefits for yourself.

5. Includes less risk compared to investments in the rural areas

Investing in metropolitan areas where there are plenty of jobs and businesses is always safer.

As much as real estate agents would like to call rural areas “up and coming” and “developing” areas, we have to face the facts.

Investing in undeveloped rural areas is basically the real estate version of gambling since their future is highly dependent on the whims of a cruel market. Tourists could lose interest and investors could pull out at any moment. If that happens, then a rural area with a once-bright future can suddenly find itself consigned into mediocrity. This means that your investments, too, will most likely be left to mediocrity.

On the other hand, metropolitan areas have proven value. They are stable rocks in the economy. Sure, they might suffer a dip in economic performance here and there, but once a place has become a developed city, it’s very unlikely for that status to be removed from it. It’s much likelier, in turn, for people to flock to the metros, making sure that cities will always be developing and always growing.

Thus, your wealth is much safer when invested in time-tested and market-proof areas, like in metropolitan cities.

Investing in a Vacation Home in the Metro

In today’s day and age, it’s important to adapt and endure as best as we can. However, this doesn’t mean that we have to sacrifice luxuries and all the things that make life worth living. Vacation homes, especially those in the metro, are just some of those things — a respite from the chaos all around.

UP NEXT: What Is It Like to Own a Luxury Vacation Home?

Real estate is that one investment you will make that promises a safe return on investment whatever you decide to do with it. You can either put it up for rent and earn rental income or earn equity to capital gains if the said property has appreciated in value in the real estate market. With luxury homes, the return on investment is greater when you find the best places to buy luxury homes in the Philippines. 

With a rising demand for bigger spaces, investor are more than eager to secure only best luxury home in the Philippines.

Choosing to live in a luxury house and lot provides a luxurious respite for your well-being as well, especially at these extraordinary times. According to industry data, Philippine real estate is seen to be one of those “outliers” where there is an increasing demand for luxury homes for sale because of the comfort and functionality these upscale properties offer, as restrictions have forced almost everyone to stay at home. Although people adjust differently, a bigger living space is a premium asset people are seeking and willing to invest in as they continue to live in the New Normal. 

The absence of social activity, largely influenced by mobility restrictions, has forced many to reconsider continuing the lifestyle they are accustomed to having in their own abodes. People who already call their luxury homes or upscale properties their primary residence are reaping the benefits of their real estate investment.

Why People Still Dream to Invest in a Luxury House and Lot for Sale

While a luxury house and lot for sale in the Philippines is viewed as expensive or priced higher than market value, they are top-of-the-line properties that give homeowners more than what they need beyond the sheer square footage and the number of rooms.

For one, working at home can be a real adjustment for people who are used to working in climate-controlled offices with ample workstations and comfortable chairs to sit in, and conference rooms furnished with the latest technologies used to communicate with colleagues from other satellite offices or locations as far as the other side of the globe. With the pandemic, laptops at the dining table or in the living room may be a temporary solution, but it can be uncomfortable in the long run and may no longer be ideal, especially if offices have already made the permanent transition to a remote-work operation.

Moreover, living space will definitely be a finite resource as people and their families try to continue with their daily activities indoors. If they are living alone in a small condo or apartment, the limited space may soon become uninspiring to even do the things they love in the days ahead. 

High-end buyers who are looking for a luxury house and lot for sale desire the same features all homebuyers want, but on a larger, grander scale. High-end buyers are also looking at beauty in every detail, from the luxury house and lot to the residential community it is located in. As such, they seek properties with custom architectural features and design, the attention to details given to the surrounding gardens, streets, and other common areas, and the opulence the neighborhood exudes. Some go into knowing if the luxury house and lot for sale also come with technological features like home automation, motion detectors, CCTV systems, and even the security and privacy situation of the neighborhood.

High-end buyers who even seek a lot for sale only to build their dream house even take into account the vistas or views the property offers or the seclusion it provides from the public eye. As such, Tagaytay lots for sale, Sta. Rosa lots for sale and Daang Hari lots for sale are quite popular for high-end buyers looking for a lot for sale in the South.

Lot-only packages located at the Terraces of Lausanne by Brittany Corporation are enchanting to high-end buyers because of the location’s sweeping panoramas, with views of Laguna de Bay, Manila Bay, and the lush hills of Tagaytay. 

High-end buyers will also take into account the many things the neighborhood offers without needing to drive or commute. As such, a luxury house and lot for sale in the Philippines located in a neighborhood that offers quick access to luxury activities, such as high-end shopping, dining, and the arts, as well as urban conveniences and proximity to other luxury homes for sale, are in demand – especially if travel restrictions limit your ability to continue your usual activities outside the neighborhood.

Located on the southern shores of Manila Bay and southwest of Metro Manila, it is one of the most industrialized and fastest-growing provinces in the Philippines and is a favorite location for property seekers who are feeling congested in Metro Manila.

The province is also connected to the metro with several important throughways, including the all-important Aguinaldo Highway, which runs in a general north-south direction and is connected with the Tagaytay–Nasugbu Highway segment in the south, and Cavite Expressway (CAVITEx) was opened, which has reduced traffic in Aguinaldo Highway and travel time from Imus to Baclaran to one hour.

Bordered by the highly-urbanized cities of Pasay, Taguig, Las Piñas, and Manila Bay, the city is powered largely by its shopping malls, and a thriving hotel and entertainment economies. Muntinlupa’s location is also quite strategic to high-end buyers who are looking for a holiday home or a primary address that is exclusive and private but still remains accessible to the rest of the metro.

One of the coveted addresses in Muntinlupa is La Posada, a Victorian-inspired residential enclave featuring charming luxury homes for starter families.

5. Tagaytay

And why should you not disregard Tagaytay? Known for its crisp, cool air and atmosphere, its location is a coveted address even among celebrities. It offers everything they demand in both a luxury home and a holiday home.

Despite being a city of Cavite, Tagaytay itself can stand alone as a real estate hotspot for luxury homes for sale also because of its retail and economic viability. Property seekers who choose to invest in a luxury house and lot or even a Tagaytay lot for sale can easily recoup their investment and more thanks to the bustling (and even thriving) tourism industry. And in the era of social distancing, Tagaytay matters for people who are longing for an escape from the city as it provides a private, exclusive (and safe abode).

When looking for a luxury house and lot, you first need to consider what “luxury” means to you.

If you have taken the plunge to finally buying a luxury house and lot for sale, congratulations are in order! But as you go through tons of listings of luxury homes, have you ever wondered what a luxury home truly means? Are you wondering if you are currently on the right path, and looking at the right luxury houses and lots?

While there are obvious characteristics of a luxury home, it is important that you also consider other aspects aside from the price, location, square footage – or some magic combination of all of the above. 

What Exactly Is a Luxury Home?

Contrary to public perception, “luxury” isn’t about how much cash you can shell out for the total contract price. “Luxury” is actually subjective to the buyer.

Well, for starters, “luxury” isn’t strictly about the premium price of the property. It’s much more subjective, and the target is moving as it is based on what the high-end buyer has come to expect in a particular aspect of the property.

This blog article even attempts to define luxury from ultra-luxury. According to the article, location plays a big role in defining a luxury house and lot. Aside from the definite fact that land is a finite resource, the exclusivity and orientation (i.e. marina views, scenic countryside views, city views) of the location help drive its value up. Enter “luxury house and lot in Daang Hari”, “luxury house and lot in Sta. Rosa”, “luxury house and lot in Sucat”, or “luxury house and lot in Tagaytay” on a search browser or real estate listings site and you will see what we mean.

Moreover, a luxury home should also offer more square footage inside and outside the physical home. The more spacious the home and the surrounding land, the more it is considered a luxury property. A three-story house, for example, may be considered a luxury property if it is built on a vast Tagaytay lot for sale.

And then there’s the custom work. A luxury house and lot is truly considered as is, if the property has hired artisans to top architects and structural engineers to create a custom house design, which also will comes with specific architectural details and features. These details and features, and the professionals who crafted them, add to the perceived value of the property. Ultra-luxury homes for sale go above and beyond by offering extreme amenities such as a very wide driveway, regulation-size swimming pools, or basketball court, a vineyard-sized, climate-controlled wine cellar, and more.

Luxury homes at Vista Alabang, a 600-plus hectare visionary city, is a master-planned community with three residential enclaves that showcase the best examples of luxury homes in the Philippines. Each award-winning luxury home exudes classic Old World charm, opulence, and sensibilities that are beyond typical.

The Antonello House is a luxury house and lot model by Brittany Corporation that has the square footage, architectural merit, bespoke and extreme features, and a prioritized location.

Things You Should Consider in a Luxury Home

There is no definite checklist on what a luxury home should have and what luxury homes should be. But there are a few common traits that most luxury homes in the Philippines share.

What else should you consider when it comes to seeking your luxury home?

1. Consider a Luxury Home With an Open Floor Plan.

The sheer square footage of luxury homes for sale allow future homeowners to capitalize on the airy, grand living spaces. Moreover, luxury homes with open floor plans often come with architectural structures that highlight the expanse of the home, like a grand staircase, for example.

2.  Think About Smart Technology.

The Internet of Things has allowed us to provide technological upgrades to homes. And as more technological innovations get introduced daily, it also helps us to automate repetitive, mundane tasks, and sometimes even help us make smarter decisions in managing our home. Remote-activated locks, climate control, automated central air conditioning and heating systems, and light and alarm systems are just some of the many smart technologies that are now installed in homes, especially luxury houses and lots. Some high-end properties go the extra mile and connect devices to the cloud for data collection and remote management, and even connect it with a smart assistant like Alexa or Siri.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, some luxury homes are built with reclaimed, environmentally-friendly, or smart materials that address property management issues like mold, rust, and dust accumulation.

3.  The Kitchen Should Have Ample Storage and Other Extras.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Luxury homes take it further by offering a commercial-grade kitchen stacked with restaurant-approved appliances, a walk-in pantry or two, additional storage solutions, and extras like a wine fridge or cellar, and warming drawers.

Wealthy buyers also now demand a cozy outdoor kitchen and cooking area for them to be able to prep and cook food, especially those that need to be grilled or have a fishy or gamey smell. The outdoor kitchen should have stainless sinks and counters, a grilling station, and should also look stylish enough to be decked with outdoor furniture for al fresco dining and entertainment.

4. The Luxury Home Should Offer Water Features.

A large swimming pool (or two), jacuzzi or outdoor hot tub, and even a fountain are some of the water features a property seeker would want in a luxury home. These water features not only provide added value to the home, but will also help extend the leisure life from indoors to outdoors.

Not all luxury homes offer onsite water features. However, some are located in exclusive residential communities that offer grander versions of these water features and more.

La Posada at Lakefront Sucat is a residential enclave of classic contemporary luxury homes coupled with the cool San Francisco air and atmosphere, and is supported by modern amenities, including a series of swimming pools and a gazebo overlooking them.

5.  The Luxury Home Should Be Able To Offer Unique, Exclusive Views.

An expansive, private, tree-lined vista, like this one offered at Alpine Villas, trumps any city view.

When it comes to luxuriant living, buyers desire exclusivity. One way to determine that is by its surroundings. Is it located near a busy street, or a mountain full of trees? Is your view of the surroundings uninterrupted, or blocked by another property? The more uninterrupted the views, the more clandestine the location where the luxury home is built on.

Tips in Buying a Luxury Home for Sale in the Philippines

Learn tips on how to search and buy a luxury home for sale in the Philippines.

Now that you have refined the requirements and traits of your luxury home, the next step is to search and initiate the buying process. Thanks to technology, social media, and the Internet, there are many ways to go about buying a luxury house and lot in Daang Hari, luxury house and lot in Sta Rosa, luxury house and lot in Sucat, luxury house and lot in Tagaytay, or luxury house and lot in Cavite, for example.

Here are tips on how to navigate the process of buying a luxury home:

1. Understand the Search Process.

The majority of the luxury houses and lots for sale are unlisted or are rarely published as public listings. This is because real estate brokers want to protect the owner’s privacy or owner information that might be too sensitive to be shared with the casual property seeker. Real estate brokers will proactively share luxury home listings privately if the inquiries have been pre-qualified as serious or willing to go to the next stage. Moreover, not all luxury homes in the Philippines are listed or can be found in online search engines. 

2. Photos are never enough.

Just like any other real estate listing, photos will only provide you a snapshot of the property in time. Thanks to technology, visual and interactive content are now available for you to have a feel of what the property is like.

Some of these luxury homes can also be found on Google Maps, so you can get a better grasp of the community.

You get the assurance of an industry expert when you consult with the best professionals in real estate.

3. Work With an Industry Expert.

You must work with an industry expert who can give you your money’s worth (and time) when it comes to buying a luxury property. 

Brittany Corporation is a luxury homes brand by Vista Land. Brittany specializes in luxury homes for sale in the premium real estate market that stands out in terms of beauty and details. If you are in the market for a luxury house and lot in Daang Hari, luxury house and lot in Sta. Rosa, luxury house and lot in Sucat, luxury house and lot in Tagaytay, or luxury house and lot in Cavite, these high-end, designer properties offered by Brittany are supported by a bustling, themed community, economy, and exclusive amenities. Moreover, the Brittany luxury homes brand is by Vista Land, the Philippines’ largest and most accomplished homebuilder. Vista Land has been unparalleled in delivering real estate projects, including luxury homes in the Philippines with exceptional retail components in both scale and achievement.

Furthermore, an industry specialist will always be open and honest with you, especially when it comes to the community’s long-term plans and the real estate potential of your future luxury property. The Promenade, for instance, is in the heart of Laguna. It is home to eight more themed residential complexes and some of the best educational facilities, as well as three of the country’s top golf courses: Canlubang Golf and Country Club, Sta. Elena Golf Club, and The Country Club, all located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna’s educational and commercial core.

4. Secure Relationships With Your Bank.

Luxury houses and lots for sale are priced in the premium end of the real estate market and sometimes will require specific financing options. As such, you must check with your bank the available financing options you are pre-approved for, and what other documentation requirements you need to get pre-qualified for, in order to view the total contract price of the luxury home you are actually going to buy.

Your real estate broker at this point will also be able to help you look for more luxury home listings if your first choice doesn’t pan out. This way, you wouldn’t start at the very beginning again as your broker may have other luxury homes for you that you might like and qualify financing for.

5. Know What To Expect With Homeowner Associations and Property Management.

The rules that govern homeowners and their properties in residential communities are meant to ensure that the properties are on the trajectory of their future premium market valuations. As such, you need to know and understand what these rules are, including subletting or renting out your property as a vacation rental or homestay, and what you need to know to ensure property appreciation.

6. You Can Always Negotiate.

While there’s no legroom for ready-for-occupancy luxury homes for sale, you can definitely command a particular price on a custom-built luxury houses and lots. For example, the individual points and features of a custom-built, designer home by Brittany make your property one of a kind. Work with a Brittany real estate broker to help you settle on a final offer that your custom-built luxury house and lot command.

7. Document Your Buying Journey.

You are entering into a high-stake, high-return financial transaction, so it is really important for you to secure the right, legal documentation as you go through your buying journey. If possible, do away with finalizing legal agreements verbally, and insist on engaging via email or text for additional documentation. Ensure that all real estate documents are secured legally with the right authorities.

The luxury extends to the interior features, with professional kitchen appliances, spa-style bathrooms, hotel-quality bedrooms, and personalized amenities such as private home theaters.

• art exhibits
• game nights
• wine tastings
• concerts

These events are designed to foster well-being, provide entertainment, and build a strong sense of community among residents.

The Path to Prosperity: Investment Opportunities in Luxury Real Estate

Investing in luxury real estate opens the door to prosperity. Luxury properties generally offer strong resale values, often yielding better returns on investment due to high-value features and exclusivity. With property values rising over time and paralleling the cost of living, luxury real estate acts as a reliable buffer against inflation. Some benefits of investing in luxury real estate include:

• Strong resale values
• Better returns on investment
• High-value features and exclusivity
• Protection against inflation

Investing in luxury properties carries less risk and assures capital growth since real estate assets, including lot only properties, typically appreciate over time. Rental opportunities for luxury properties can be quite lucrative, with the ability to command premium rental prices for exclusive and well-located properties.

Appreciation of Property Value

Significant appreciation of property value is one of the key benefits of investing in luxury real estate. Luxury real estate is less affected by market fluctuations compared to other types of real estate, making it a less risky investment. High-end properties have historically appreciated in value over time, providing investors with stability and a robust return on investment.

As space becomes scarcer, the value of luxury real estate properties is likely to rise, contributing to capital growth and wealth creation for investors. Diversification through luxury real estate can also spread out investment risks and provide a safeguard against market downturns in other investment areas.

Rental Income Potential

Rental opportunities make luxury real estate a source of passive income. As landlords, investors can set their rental prices, with customers often willing to pay more for high-quality, luxury properties. Investors have the option to purchase luxury homes in less expensive areas and profit from renting them out, as there is a market for high-end rentals outside major metropolitan areas, including affordable housing options.

Owning and renting out a second home in the luxury market can cover mortgage costs and generate additional income, especially when rented out during peak seasons. Rental income from luxury properties can be maximized by focusing on features attractive to vacationing families, increasing occupancy rates and return on investment.

Prestige as a Status Symbol

Owning luxury properties, deemed high-status symbols, mirrors success and achievements, conferring social and personal benefits. Luxury homes serve as more than just assets; they offer financial security and can be a symbol of one’s status, reflecting personal success.

The exclusivity and uniqueness of luxury properties contribute to their status as prestigious assets, enhancing the owner’s social standing. Luxury real estate ownership can elevate an investor’s social status and provide a sense of accomplishment, serving as a symbol of success and wealth. Owning high-end property in prestigious locations can attract admiration from peers and potential business partners, enhancing one’s reputation.

Industry Updates and News

Fueled by a ‘flight-to-quality’ trend seeking exclusivity in luxury properties, the global luxury real estate market is projected to expand from 2023 to 2030. Luxury real estate is thriving in both urban centers like New York, London, and Hong Kong, and resort destinations such as Bali and Aspen, often resulting in a seller’s market with limited inventory.

There is increased international interest in properties worldwide, indicating globalization trends within the luxury real estate market. Forresta’s advantageous location ties into the broader vision of Villar City, aiming to create a comprehensive hub for economic and lifestyle activities with a modern CBD, Tech Valley, and lifestyle hubs.

Summary

In this journey through the world of luxury real estate, we have explored tales of prestige and prosperity, delved into nature-infused luxury living, indulged in world-class amenities and services, and discovered the path to prosperity through investment opportunities in luxury real estate. As we have seen, luxury real estate offers more than just a home—it offers a lifestyle, a status symbol, and a path to prosperity. It’s not just about living the good life, but about living the high life.

Building dreams and building communities are deeply interconnected endeavors. In fulfilling the personal dream of homeownership, we often overlook how these private spaces shape the communities around us. This article sheds light on the significant role of affordable housing in creating inclusive neighborhoods, the environmental focus in modern housing developments, and the strategic decisions developers make that impact community vitality and connectivity.

The Power of Dreams: Building Houses, Transforming Lives

Building houses is about:

• Building dreams by making them come true
• Providing individuals and families with a stable, nurturing environment that fosters growth and development
• Building communities that embody the dreams and aspirations of its residents
• Creating a lasting legacy of homeownership and community
• Affecting economic growth and social dynamics
• Enhancing the well-being and overall quality of life for individuals and families

Residential construction carries implications beyond providing shelter.

However, owning a house is more than just having a roof over your head. It’s about having a space that is truly yours—a space that you can transform according to your needs and preferences. It’s about having a place where you can grow, where you can build your dreams and shape your future.

This transformative power of homeownership is magnified when we consider affordable housing options. Affordable housing is essential to support the living needs of diverse groups, including:

• the middle class
• seniors
• people with disabilities
• low-income families

Developers like Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc. focus on the affordable market segment, enhancing accessibility to homeownership.

Providing Homes for All

In the past decade, affordable housing has become increasingly scarce, leading to a sharp decline in availability. This scarcity presents a significant challenge, but it also opens up an opportunity for transformation. By introducing new residential development projects, we can create more inclusive housing options that cater to a wider range of budgets and preferences.

Providing homes for all isn’t just about building houses—it’s about building communities that are inclusive and diverse. It’s about ensuring that everyone, regardless of their income or social status, has a place they can call home.

Affordable housing is more than just a solution to the housing crisis—it’s a catalyst for community growth and development. With more affordable homes, families can settle in neighborhoods they otherwise wouldn’t have access to. They can become part of communities that they can help shape and grow.

Every affordable home built is not just a dream realized—it’s also a step towards building stronger, more inclusive communities.

Empowering Families and Individuals

Homeownership empowers families and individuals in profound ways. Owning a home promotes responsibility and personal growth, providing a psychologically profound impact on individuals and families. Children experience improved academic performance and less disruption in their education due to the stability provided by homeownership. Homeownership allows families to spend a manageable portion of their income on housing costs, leading to greater possibilities for savings and investment in the future.

Families who own their homes tend to have greater net wealth, particularly through the equity accumulated in their property, than those who rent. Access to stable and quality affordable housing leads to healthier lifestyles and environments, free from hazards such as mold, lead, and pests. Homeownership fosters a sense of permanence and a stronger connection to the community as homeowners move less frequently than renters. Indeed, homeownership is an empowering journey that transforms lives and communities.

Building Communities: More Than Just Houses

Building communities is about more than just erecting houses or apartments. It’s about creating an environment where individuals and families can thrive. A community is a collective of diverse individuals, united by common aspirations and shared experiences. When we build communities, we’re not just constructing physical infrastructure—we’re fostering a sense of belonging, promoting diversity, and facilitating social cohesion.

Stable, affordable housing is linked to better outcomes for children, including:

• Improved emotional, behavioral, and cognitive development
• Alleviation of psychological stress for parents, resulting in better emotional health for their children
• Improved school performance
• Increased sense of security

Affordable housing developments promote diversity and unite people from various socio-economic, educational, professional, and cultural backgrounds. Access to affordable housing contributes to the well-being of residents, leading to success in social, academic, and professional arenas. Indeed, residential construction is not only about providing homes but also about generating economic growth, supporting local services, promoting sustainability, and fostering social cohesion among communities.

Neighborhood Revitalization

Neighborhood revitalization is a transformative process that breathes new life into communities. The construction of new residential properties generates significant economic growth within local communities through expanded job opportunities and a positive effect on the country’s GDP. New residential projects have been associated with increasing property values, with adjacent retail and commercial developments contributing to real estate appreciation and providing greater returns on investment.

While beneficial, residential construction can put a strain on community infrastructure, requiring developers and local authorities to work together for sustainable community growth. The presence of essential services such as healthcare and educational institutions near residential areas enhances real estate value and makes neighborhoods more enticing to buyers and renters.

Neighborhood revitalization is more than just a facelift—it’s a complete transformation that improves the quality of life for residents and boosts the overall prosperity of the community.

Social Engagement and Interaction

Communities are built on relationships, and social engagement is key to strengthening these bonds. Thoughtful community design and affordable housing initiatives encourage social engagement, interaction, and inclusivity among residents. Some ways to promote social engagement in communities include:

• Creating communal areas such as parks, plazas, and shared facilities
• Incorporating mixed-use spaces that encourage residents to gather and connect
• Designing residential areas with open layouts and pedestrian-friendly designs to promote spontaneous social encounters among neighbors

These strategies facilitate social interaction and help build a sense of community among residents.

Design of indoor social spaces should accommodate the community culture and the nature of activities, aiding in interaction among residents. Affordable housing initiatives within new residential developments promote inclusivity and diversity, which are essential for fostering social engagement. Accessibility and inclusivity in community design create spaces that welcome people of all ages, abilities, and interests, strengthening social cohesion. Community engagement and social bonds are enhanced as neighbors engage in discussions around residential construction and shared amenities.

Nature preserves and parks contribute to social cohesion by providing settings for community activities that encourage inclusivity and interaction. Placemaking that considers local cultural and historical contexts is crucial for designing spaces that catalyze community interactions and engagement.

The Role of Developers in Shaping Communities

Real estate developers play a crucial role in shaping communities. They orchestrate the end-to-end process of real estate development, which includes:

• Conducting thorough market research
• Analyzing demographic data
• Understanding market trends
• Adhering to zoning laws
• Overcoming feasibility challenges

Securing adequate funding is crucial for real estate development projects, and developers must possess a deep understanding of real estate finance to manage and cover the associated costs.

A strategic marketing plan is essential for developers to effectively reach potential buyers and tenants, ensuring the project’s successful entry into the market. Real estate developers are instrumental in creating sustainable communities, focusing on long-term value, functionality, and aesthetics that enhance the living experience for residents.

The strategic location of these luxury properties ensures convenience and access to shopping malls, restaurants, entertainment, and major employers, making daily life comfortable and hassle-free.

Supporting Local Businesses and Services

Residential construction is not an isolated industry. It’s interconnected with other sectors, and its development and growth have ripple effects that extend far beyond its direct operations. Residential construction stimulates local economic growth by:

• Creating a demand for retail, dining, and service industries
• Contributing to the overall development of the community
• Increasing housing construction leads to higher retail sales as new residents require a variety of goods and services, ultimately benefiting local businesses.

The economic uplift from residential construction translates into a variety of job opportunities which boosts social engagement and community prosperity. Companies such as Vista Land integrate residential and commercial developments into their communities, ensuring residents have immediate access to essential amenities and services. Residential construction projects typically trigger the expansion of necessary infrastructure like:

• roads
• utilities
• schools
• healthcare facilities
• recreational spaces

to serve the community’s needs.

Retail and Dining Establishments

The introduction of retail spaces in residential areas generates approximately 180 new jobs for every 100,000 square feet of retail space. Retail and commercial hubs provide residents with a wide range of shopping and dining options, cultural activities, and recreational facilities. Local businesses can thrive due to their proximity to a captive residential customer base within mixed-use developments.

These retail and dining establishments not only provide convenience to residents but also contribute to the vibrancy and dynamism of the community. They offer places for social interaction and community engagement, adding to the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.

Healthcare and Educational Institutions

Proximity to healthcare facilities in residential areas ensures rapid access to medical support, vital for effective emergency response and can be lifesaving. Access to local healthcare for routine check-ups and continuous health management is highly valued by residents, stimulating regular health monitoring and care. Community-based healthcare facilities play an essential role in disease prevention and health promotion through various programs and educational resources.

Living in close proximity to schools offers several benefits, including:

• Minimizing travel time for children, giving them more opportunities for educational activities and family engagement
• Enriching educational experiences with local parks and green spaces, which serve as natural classrooms for learning about the environment
• Enabling community service providers, including educators and healthcare workers, to reside within the communities they serve, fostering stronger connections and service quality

Mixed-use developments often include healthcare and educational facilities, offering convenience and enhancing the overall living experience for residents.

Sustainable Living: Building Communities with a Conscience

Building communities isn’t just about the present—it’s also about the future. As we construct houses and develop neighborhoods, we must also consider our impact on the environment. Sustainable living is about making choices that not only benefit us today but also protect and preserve the environment for future generations. This commitment to sustainability is reflected in our use of eco-friendly materials and practices and our efforts to preserve green spaces in residential communities.

Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., a part of the Villar Group, operates as a leading developer in the Philippines, creating sustainable communities philippines as part of their integrated property development approach. These sustainable communities are not just environmentally responsible—they’re also vibrant and healthy places to live, work, and play.

Eco-Friendly Materials and Practices

Environmentally-friendly construction practices are increasingly adopted in residential development to minimize environmental impact and create eco-friendly communities. Sustainable building materials such as bamboo, hempcrete, mycelium, and recycled steel reduce ecological impact and improve the sustainability of the construction industry. Innovative materials like Timbercrete, Terrazzo, and Ferrock, along with similar technologies, utilize recycled content and contribute to lower emissions and waste in the building process.

Passive solar design and advanced framing are employed to reduce the energy consumption of homes throughout the year. Energy-efficient options such as cool roofs and straw bale construction not only provide benefits in home temperature regulation but also contribute to overall sustainability. The use of these materials and practices in residential constructions not only creates healthier living environments but also promotes a shared sense of environmental responsibility.

Green Spaces and Nature Preservation

Green spaces play a vital role in residential communities. They not only enhance the aesthetic value of the community but also provide a range of environmental, social, and health benefits. Some of the benefits of green spaces in residential communities include:

• Enhancing mental and physical health by offering relaxation and improved air quality
• Providing opportunities for outdoor activities and promoting a well-balanced lifestyle
• Supporting biodiversity and regulating ecological processes, contributing to environmental conservation

Recreational spaces such as parks and playgrounds near residential developments are crucial for a well-balanced lifestyle, and public green spaces provide fresh air and opportunities for outdoor activities. By incorporating green spaces into residential communities, we can create healthier and more sustainable living environments.

Brittany Corporation participates in promoting sustainable community development by creating spaces that balance neighborhood harmony with the preservation of natural surroundings. Santa Rosa City, with its eco-rich environment prized for health benefits, and the English countryside-inspired Brittany Sta. Rosa, known for wide open spaces and beautiful landscapes, exemplify the integration of nature in community planning.

Summary

Building houses is about more than just constructing physical structures—it’s about transforming lives, shaping communities, and creating a better future. From the empowerment of homeownership to the revitalization of neighborhoods, from fostering social engagement to promoting sustainability—residential construction is a transformative force that shapes our communities, our lives, and our future.

In building communities, we’re not just erecting houses but also nurturing dreams, fostering growth, and creating spaces where people can thrive. Whether it’s through affordable housing options that make homeownership accessible to all, or through the creation of luxury properties that offer a unique living experience, or through the integration of local businesses and services, or through the promotion of sustainable living—we’re building more than just houses. We’re building dreams. We’re building hope. We’re building communities. And in doing so, we’re shaping our future.

From concept to concrete, the journey of creating permanent structures from fleeting ideas involves practical strategies, technical expertise, and collaborative effort. This article strips back the layers of conceptualization, design, and construction to show you exactly how industry experts make the leap from paper to pavement. You’ll discover the pivotal roles played by professionals and technologies that transmute abstract notions into the built environments that define our landscapes. If you’re looking to understand how your ideas can materialize in the real world, you’re in the right place.

Safety and sustainability are the cornerstones of modern construction, shaping the industry’s future. Built environments are becoming safer and more sustainable, thanks to advanced safety systems and eco-friendly materials and methods. These practices not only protect the welfare of individuals but also contribute to a healthier ecosystem, leading to long-lasting benefits for communities and the environment.

Safety innovations

Innovations have brought safety to the forefront of construction. Wearable technologies like smart hard hats and smart wristbands alert workers of imminent danger, and ergonomic innovations reduce the occurrence of physical hazards.

Prefabrication and modular construction methods contribute to safer practices by allowing more work at ground level. These advancements are changing the face of safety in construction.

Eco-friendly materials and methods

The construction industry is embracing eco-friendliness with open arms. Materials like cob, recycled wood, cork, straw bales, and recycled plastic have paved the way for sustainable construction practices. Innovative materials like AshCrete, Ferrock, recycled steel, and Newspaperwood offer alternatives to traditional construction materials, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and promoting recycling in development projects.

Long-term benefits

Prioritizing safety and sustainability doesn’t just make sense for the here and now – it has long-term benefits. Companies like Vista Land demonstrate their commitment to quality and innovation by using high-quality materials and innovative construction techniques. This approach directly contributes to the durability and longevity of homes, providing long-term investment value to customers.

Luxury properties are no longer just about grandeur and opulence – they’re about thematic appeal. Unique architectural styles, tailored experiences, and prime lifestyle locations are creating a new wave of luxury properties that cater to refined tastes.

Let’s explore how these elements come together to create exceptional living spaces.

Unique architectural styles

Unique architectural styles are the heart and soul of luxury properties, adding a thematic appeal that sets them apart. From the classic American style of Brittany Sta. Rosa to the modern Mediterranean designs of Portofino properties in Vista Alabang, these distinctive architectural choices enhance both the aesthetic appeal and resident satisfaction.

Tailored experiences

Luxury properties are about more than just spaces – they’re about experiences. 3D modeling technology offers clients a ‘walk through’ of their potential space before construction begins, enabling them to tailor their homes to their tastes and preferences.

This personalized approach transforms houses into affordable housing, creating spaces that reflect the lifestyles of their residents.

Prime lifestyle locations

Location plays a crucial role in defining the allure of luxury properties. Prime lifestyle locations provide residents with convenient access to amenities and services, enhancing their living experience. From Brittany Corporation’s Station Zero in Boracay, offering luxury living alongside vibrant local culture, to the tranquil elegance of Bern in the Philippines, these best lifestyle locations define the luxury living experience.

By consistently exceeding client expectations and offering a comprehensive suite of services, developers can provide clients with a more supportive and resource-rich experience.

Travelling in the Philippines

Many Filipinos love to travel; however, traffic congestion can be considered our number one enemy. While travelling can be an enjoyable activity, the traffic can demotivate a notable lot of people. This is the importance of having proper transportation in our country – both for public and private use.

However, there are times when travelling simply is not an option, especially if the location is far away. During times like this, it helps to have a home which is located near convenient facilities and establishments. But sometimes, you won’t even have any time to go outside at all.

Your home is the place you’ll be spending most of your time in, and your default location to stay at when you have nowhere else to go. This is why it’s important to have a home where you can truly enjoy yourself in. If you’re looking for a new home that checks all these boxes, we’ve got the perfect recommendation for you.
