Business World Philippines
|October 03, 2025
LISTED property developer Megaworld Corp. is investing P20 billion in an old Manila-inspired mixed-use development on the former San Lazaro Hippodrome site in Santa Cruz, Manila.

The Winford Resort Estate seeks to relive Manila’s prewar era and will feature condominium developments, a hotel, and a commercial strip, Megaworld said in a statement on Thursday.
The development will be built in Santa Cruz, Manila, on the site of the former San Lazaro Hippodrome, a horse racetrack that popularized betting in the early 1900s before it was demolished in 2003 to make way for the San Lazaro Tourism and Business Park.
“We are designing Winford Resort Estate to honor the rich heritage of this historic area with a fresh look that reflects Manila’s golden years,” said Kelvin Uy, head of sales and marketing at Megaworld Manila.
Winford Resort Estate will also feature French Renaissance, Neo-Classical, and Art Deco influences in its masterplan.
