Development Plans for Tagaytay Highlands Bared

The famed mountain resort and leisure destination Tagaytay Highlands just rolled out its plans for the 1,200 hectare property. This land that sits on Cavite, Laguna and Batangas which still asks to be developed further, this is where Highlands Prime Inc. comes in, they're the subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings.

The plan includes to put the property filled with commercial establishments, provide services for its residents, space for recreational activities, but still keeping it sustainable. It's going to further improve the mixed use plan they have for The Highlands, Midlands, Midlands West an Greenlands which are districts of Tagaytay Highlands. I remember staying in The Highlands a couple years back which was filled with Swiss looking chalets and log cabins, filled with pine trees, a panoramic view of the mountains, something unbelievable to see often for folks from Manila.

The Midlands on the other hand will be paradise for Golf lovers as their Midlands Golf Club will draw in fans of the sport but still offer a place of refuge with stunning views of Taal Lake, Mount Makiling and forests along the lake. Luxury villas, a place to camp out, plus a long stretch of residences that promote health, wellness, while nestled in the mountains. Midlands West on the other hand will have open parks, so you get a mix of modern amenities and nature. The Greenlands remain eco friendly, wide and apt for outdoor activities which will remain this way for a long time. They will foster conservation efforts to maintain the natural beauty of the property, with a goal to reach a million trees before 2044. As of now, 490,000 sits in it. There stands more for future generations, and this is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands. There's more low density condominiums being developed so each resident would experience that mountain resort living they've dreamed of.

This is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands.

Home or Investment for OFW's: Asterra

We all have friends, relatives who have worked abroad and much of them have sent money home so their families live a comfortable life, pay for bills, the education of their kids, put food on the table and roof over their heads.

Asterra is the most recent affordable housing project of Vista Land and Golden MV holdings. This is owned by Manny Villar who has seen continous growth in the market. This will be laid on ground in different parts of the country and is planned to be offered for those who are just starting a family, young professionals, those engaged in businesses, and overseas Filipino workers who's dreams include a home of their own in thriving cities across the Philippines.

This is certainly something that they see would be a very good investment opportunity for OFW's too either to rent out or have it be a place of their own. It's an opportune time to do it now since the real estate market is still pretty low in Asterra North Luzon according to their Division Head Neil Almonte. Rentals have certainly been a lucrative way to become a passive income if you're out of the country. They have really well designed condo units with concierge, security, and a community that is close to markets, the church and places you can go to relax on your spare time.

Vista Shaw

People who are in the mid stages of their life usually think about investing and making their money's worth. They want to have something that's going to earn them a living while sitting on their porch and having a cup of tea. Wishful thinking for most people but some choose to act on it. There's one place in Shaw Boulevard that can probably make your investment wishes come true. It's right within the metro, accessible to almost all modes of transportation, near schools, international standard groceries, government offices and business districts. A hop. skip and stones throw away from a great neighborhood is this promising project called VISTA SHAW; where you can be at the halls of history and rooms with a spectacular view!

 Here's a short look on the 1 Bedroom Unit

Their 1 Bedroom models have around 30.40 - 38.03 square meters. I thought it was going to be small but for a bachelor or a small family, this place is already good. I also think if you've got some visitors over, around 4 people for an intimate dinner... it can absolutely fit that. You can use the Sky Amenities if you require something bigger. That top floor in the plan has full blown pools on it, add a spectacular view of the city and it'll be dreamy!

Then we checked out the 2 bedroom unit.

The 2 Bedroom unit is around 45.70 - 50.40 square meters. They limit around 20-23 rooms per floor so you are assured of a not so dense floor area. If you are not much of a cook, you can always go downstairs and get pizza, coffee and what not from the commercial area right in front of the building. They have already set up shop like Starbucks, Breakfast Club and Project Pie there.You can fool anyone that you cooked for them with a hot meal at home. There's a fully renovated historical landmark there too that's been hidden from the public for years now. The Laurel Mansion where we had our lunch that afternoon was shabby chic!

The property is at S. Laurel Street corner Shaw Boulevard. If you are from Makati or Ortigas Business Districts, you can live in the middle of everything. They've got a pretty good deal waiting for you so go ahead and give them a call if you want to invest your hard earned money for something worthwhile.
