Groundwork for growth: Villar Land's strategic landbank play

As the Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”

- 

That wisdom underpins Villar Land Holding Corp.'s long standing strategy—acquiring overlooked and oftentimes undervalued idle land before demand peaks, staging a mix of phased developments to ensure early profits and recurring revenues, financing growth prudently, and eventually delivering tangible returns for its stakeholders.

Strategic acquisitions

Through decades of strategic acquisitions, publicly listed Villar Land has built a formidable landbank—its crown jewel being Villar City, a 3,500-hectare estate straddling southern Metro Manila and Cavite. Major infrastructure projects—from the Laguna Expressway and C-5 South Link to the planned LRT and commuter-rail extensions—have turned these once peripheral tracts into tomorrow's commuter corridors.
