    Vista Land Expands Footprint in North and Central Luzon with the Launch of Four Residential Developments

    Vista Land affirmed its commitment to landmark expansion across the archipelago through Limelight: Setting the Scene for Modern Living in North and Central Luzon, an exclusive preview of four new residential developments in Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan, Tarlac, and Bulacan. Held in Bulacan, the event convened company executives, employees, and business partners for an immersive presentation of house-and-lot communities poised to shape the future of suburban living.

    Limelight unveiled four residential developments that demonstrate Vista Land’s signature strengths, including premium locations, accessibility to essential establishments and services, and amenities that enrich residents’ overall quality of life.

    Hosted by lifestyle content creator, Jackie Go, whose warm welcome guided attendees through the afternoon activities, Limelight opened with a spirited musical rendition by Sheena Lee. Complementing the program were intermission numbers from Daloy Dance Company, whose evocative choreography added rhythm and resonance to the narrative. Each performance symbolized themes of celebration, connection, and cultural flair—core values that Vista Land seeks to capture in its house-and-lot communities. Adding to the momentum were representatives from Vista Land Strategic Commercial Assets Division, who introduced a range of commercial land and space leasing opportunities in the region.

    Limelight opened with a spirited musical rendition by Aliw awardee and talented performer, Sheena Lee.

    The showcase not only highlighted Belfelice at Querencia, Arezzo at Giardana, Solenea at The Crescent, and Amandea, but also demonstrated how the market leader in the real estate sector continues to align with the national roadmap and unlock investment frontiers north of Metro Manila.

    Ailene Sarmiento, Vista Land Group Head for Mega Manila and North and Central Luzon, emphasized the critical role of public infrastructure in accelerating regional development. “The modernization of road networks leading to North and Central Luzon, including the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) and Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), together with the ongoing construction of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) and the Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX), are reshaping the geography of panorama and possibilities,” Sarmiento shared. “Vista Land is strategically locating its residential developments along these routes to strengthen connectivity, encourage economic activity, and support movement towards the regions.”

    Anchored in culture, community, and connectivity

    Located in Vigan, Belfelice forms part of Querencia, an integrated community that mirrors the Mission-style architecture of Alta California. Three-storey homes featuring white stucco exteriors and terracotta roofs provide a classic backdrop to a heritage-inspired lifestyle the provincial town. Access to major routes, such as the Ilocos Sur Bypass Road, enhances its appeal to growing families and entrepreneurs seeking serenity and security while remaining within close reach of modern conveniences.

    Solenea in Santa Maria, Bulacan offers three-storey residences within a master planned development inspired by the French Quarter in New Orleans. These house models within the newest enclave at The Crescent are designed for flexibility, catering to multigenerational living and hybrid work setups for pioneering professionals. Located near the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Quirino Highway, and directly benefiting from the forthcoming Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 7, Solenea is a gateway community that combines modern momentum with residential respite.

    Within the ‘Garden of Luzon,’ Arezzo will feature Italian-themed three-storey homes that support either fully residential layouts or mixed-use configurations featuring commercial-ready lower floors. Situated along a bypass road in Urdaneta City, and taking advantage of the completion of the TPLEX, this premium address combines aesthetic appeal and accessibility in one, built for long-term living and entrepreneurial endeavors.

    Vista Land Unveils Cascaia by Vista Estates: A Spanish-Inspired Master Planned Development in San Fernando City, Pampanga

    In a shining celebration of vision, vitality, culture, and community, Vista Land officially unveiled Cascaia by Vista Estates, its newest Spanish-inspired master planned development in the heart of San Fernando City, Pampanga. The sales launch named Lustré: A Masterpiece in the Making, was attended by company executives, business partners, and esteemed guests, all gathered to witness the debut of what promises to be a radiant new lifescape in the region.

    Set on four hectares of prime land, Cascaia by Vista Estates, located along MacArthur Highway, is Vista Land’s newly launched master planned development in San Fernando, Pampanga

    Cascaia derives its name from the Catalan word casco, meaning shard, and Gaia, symbolizing the living earth—reflecting the estate concept of transforming fragments of nature, culture, and innovation into an integrated, cohesive community. The four-hectare master planned development aims to become a beacon of modern living that pays homage to the rich provincial heritage while embracing the aspirations of modern-day Kapampangan homebuyers and investors.

    Located in a city celebrated for its craftsmanship and creativity, Cascaia draws inspiration from the iconic Ligligan Parul (Giant Lantern Festival), known for its dazzling displays of light and artistry.

    Vista Land Master Planner Ar. Ryan Erese highlighted the importance of building a master planned development that blends aesthetics with aspirations, like Cascaia.

Ryan Erese highlighted the importance of building a master planned development that blends aesthetics with aspirations, noting during his presentation, “This curated integrated community is a ground approach to urban living, creating a sophisticated and self-sustaining enclave that sets new standards for residential and mixed-use developments in the region.”

    The design language of Cascaia pays tribute to the whimsical charm and artistic brilliance of Park Güell in Spain. The estate features bright mosaics, lush promenades, al fresco lounges, and residential zones that evoke elegance and ease. The residential tower will showcase terracotta tones, graceful curves, and airy communal areas, creating a lifestyle that blends modern comforts with a classic European charm.

    Manny B. Villar, Chairman of the Villar Group of Companies, spoke about the continued commitment of Vista Land to transforming residential landscapes and elevating the quality of life nationwide.

    Let’s Get Moving: 5 ways to Make Movement Fun and Excitement

    Have a break, make movement of fun and excitement with Jack ‘n Jill Nova in every single day!

    An active lifestyle can be a great way to improve your mood, making you feel happier and more energized. If you’re just finding your groove in working out, there are exciting ways to get your steps in. You can even make the experience more amazing by capping it off with a multigrain snack such as Jack ‘n Jill Nova.

    Whether you’re a casual or experienced mover, you can start with these five activities at home:

    Dance to your heart’s content

    Signing up for a dance or Zumba class can be daunting at first, especially if you’re doing it alone. Once you get past the nerves, you’ll learn to just follow the beat and move to your own rhythm. If you don’t want to join a class, no problem. You can always put on your favorite playlist or follow a dance workout video online in the comfort of your own home.

    Recently, Jack ‘n Jill Nova hosted NOVAmazing Moves, a series of pop-up events that aims to make movement fun and accessible for everyone through various activities. The multi-gain snack brand aims to support people’s active lifestyles, encouraging them to move with no pressure.

    Hula hoop your worries away

    Another fun activity that feels like play is hula hooping. This can be a great option if you want to improve your coordination and strengthen your core without the heavy lifting. It can also be a fun bonding activity with the kids in your household.

    Sweat it out on a bike

    Biking continues to be a popular activity across multiple generations. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to ride a bike, now’s the time to do it. You can also sign up for indoor biking classes, where you can pedal to lively beats and meet new people.

    Learn the ropes

    Jump rope can be a fun workout to try because it feels like you’re just playing outside. You can even elevate your experience by jumping to some hip music and learning trendy tricks. This was one of the interactive classes enjoyed by the attendees of the NOVAmazing Moves pop-ups where they learned the basics and a few fun tricks.

    Run with friends

    Running clubs are all over social media these days. Running has grown from being an activity to increase stamina and stay in shape to a community building effort. Grab your friends and create your own mini running club to get your steps in. After all, exercising with friends can be a fun time.

    These are just some quick and simple activities that can bring activeness and movement to your lifestyle. You can easily make your own NOVAmazing day by treating yourself with a bag of Jack ‘n Jill Nova which comes in Country Cheddar, Homestyle BBQ and Sweet Chili flavors.
