Metro Manila’s next growth story is being built in the South. The 7-ha Elara, a low density village in UTown district, offers 62 prime lots ranging from 200 sqm to 600 sqm.
Metro Manila’s next growth story is being built in the South. And nowhere is this shift more visible—or more deliberate—than in Villar City, a 3,500-hectare development spanning 13 cities and municipalities that’s redefining how the metropolis expands. More than a typical mixed-use development, this emerging megacity is being designed as a self-sustaining economic ecosystem that can complement Metro Manila’s established business districts. Its strength lies in system design: a network of distinctive districts that translate urban planning into livability and productivity. Each district in Villar City performs a defined role within a single, interconnected economy—a structure that functions more like economic architecture built around flow, access, and efficiency. These districts offer offices, commercial spaces, parks, cafes, leisure hubs, as well as residential developments. At the cultural and retail front, for instance, is the Evia Lifestyle district, which blends commerce with experience, turning consumption into community. Emporia serves as the commercial and logistics engine of Villar City, powering trade, mobility, and enterprise across the Southern corridor.
Summary: Villar City is envisioned as a self-contained urban system that redefines Metro Manila’s growth by balancing livability with economic efficiency through specialized districts and integrated infrastructure.
