Vista Land brings condo living to the countryside

MANILA, Philippines — Vista Land and Lifescapes, the flagship property development firm of real estate tycoon Manny Villar, has unveiled its latest offering which is being touted as a personal project of the country’s richest man.

The project, called Asterra, is envisioned as a condominium development that will provide affordable urban living in the suburbs.

While many people aspire for the perks of condo living in a bustling city where modern conveniences abound, others prefer a quiet life in the countryside, far from the din and pollution of vehicular traffic.

These days, however, savvy home seekers know that there exists a happy medium: suburban neighborhoods that offer the best features of both—the charm of rural living and convenience of city life.

Villar, chairman of Vista Land as Golden MV Holdings Inc., said his vision for Asterra is to rise in the outskirts of the metro, in select locales that tout the rapid appreciation of land values. This will, in turn, afford great long-term returns for its future homeowners and investors.

In all its developments, Asterra will have multiple buildings with four to seven levels, where each unit will offer sleek, space-optimizing interiors that will serve as idyllic domiciles for young professionals and starting families.

Bearing the tagline “Built for you!,” Asterra will have functional amenities meant to elevate its residents’ quality of life. These include a swimming pool, basketball court, walkable open spaces, ample parking areas, a fully equipped gym, and multiple function halls that will help forge friendly ties and generate fine community values.
