LOOK: Vista Land leads urban development in North and Central Luzon
The Philippines’ North and Central Luzon regions are experiencing rapid growth, driven by a surge in urban development. This transformation is fueled by a combination of factors: ongoing efforts to preserve the area’s rich cultural heritage, economic progress, and improvements to infrastructure. Public and private sector collaboration is key to this evolution, establishing these regions as significant contributors to both the Philippines and the wider Southeast Asian economy.
Recognizing and responding to shifts in the homebuying landscape
At the forefront of this change is Vista Land, a major property developer in the Philippines. The company’s strategic plan centers on creating master-planned developments and condominium projects. This approach aligns with the regions’ trend toward self-contained communities that can thrive in the face of rapid urbanization, while maintaining cultural traditions and supporting economic expansion.
Tourism and Heritage
Vista Land’s projects in North and Central Luzon highlight the unique cultural heritage and diverse tourist attractions of the regions. In Ilocos Sur, Querencia is being developed near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vigan, known for its preserved Spanish colonial architecture. Improved accessibility through projects like the Luzon Spine Expressway Network allows Querencia to provide modern living spaces while respecting the area’s historical significance.
Ylana
In Alaminos, Pangasinan, home to the Hundred Islands National Park, Vista Land’s Ylana development supports local eco-tourism and environmentally conscious practices. Similarly, Montessa in Subic, Zambales, a popular tourist spot and economic hub in Central Luzon, will blend the area’s natural beauty with modern amenities, creating an appealing destination for both visitors and residents.

Economic Growth Centers
Beyond tourism, Vista Land is focused on the economic potential of North and Central Luzon. These regions are becoming economic powerhouses due to their strategic locations, land availability, and growing industries. Vista Land’s master-planned communities in provinces like Bulacan, Pampanga, and Bataan are designed to support this economic growth.
Verida aspires to be Bataan’s leading eco-friendly estate, dedicating 50 hectares to green spaces, eco-tourism initiatives, and the promotion of renewable energy.
Verida in Balanga, Bataan, is a prime example. This sustainable, technology-focused development is attracting residents employed in business process outsourcing, technology companies, and educational institutions, especially with the upcoming Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge. Amistelle in San Fernando, Pampanga, addresses the increasing demand for housing in this regional commercial center, strategically located near major infrastructure like the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Clark International Airport.
Condominium development, Amistelle, caters to the growing residential demand in San Fernando, Pampanga, a regional hub for commerce.
The construction of the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan is a major development, improving connections to both domestic and international markets. It is also stimulating the growth of nearby areas into industrial and commercial zones. The Crescent in Santa Maria is designed to meet the needs of professionals and families seeking job opportunities and proximity to Metro Manila.

Malolos, the capital of Bulacan, is also undergoing modernization, with new business districts and residential areas like Provence, a large French-Mediterranean inspired estate. Baliwag, another rapidly growing town and a gateway to North Luzon, is leveraging its heritage with projects like Castellana, which benefits from improved road networks.

Infrastructure Advancements
Vista Land’s developments in North and Central Luzon are closely connected to the ongoing expansion of expressways, railways, and airports in the regions. These infrastructure projects improve transportation, reduce traffic, and encourage economic growth, making these areas more appealing for investors, tourists, and residents.
Improvements to Laoag International Airport in Ilocos Norte and road projects like the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) are making areas like Bramasole in Laoag more accessible. Bramasole combines modern living with the area’s cultural appeal. Tuguegarao in Cagayan Valley will benefit from the expansion of Cagayan North International Airport and highway improvements, with Rosevale offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces.
Rosevale, a 100-hectare estate in Tuguegarao City, will offer a comprehensive mix of residential, retail, and leisure facilities to cater to the needs of the growing market.
Urdaneta, Pangasinan, is set to become a major commercial center in North Luzon due to its location along TPLEX. Giardana takes advantage of this improved accessibility, making the city a desirable location for businesses and residents. In Bulakan, Bulacan, the upcoming North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) will further improve connections to Metro Manila and Clark, with Silaya offering new housing options for the growing population.
Silaya in Bulakan, Bulacan is Vista Land’s 30-hectare master planned development where life can be fully lived in harmony with nature and culture.
Inspired by the Italian word for “garden,” Giardana by Vista Manors is designed to foster a strong sense of community and connection in Urdaneta, Pangasinan.
Vista Land’s Vision for the Future
Vista Land is dedicated to creating master-planned developments that will thrive in the evolving landscape of North and Central Luzon. As these regions continue to grow into major economic centers, the company is focused on building innovative urban developments that support regional progress while respecting the unique cultural and natural heritage of the area.
