Vista Land continues to expand its footprint in the southern regions of the Philippines with a strategic focus on master planned developments that anticipate the evolving aspirations of its residents. Through its collection called Vista Estates, the company is creating unique, superior, and sustainable lifescapes that combine a premium quality of life with long-term real estate investment opportunities. Each development, set within premier destinations across the country, showcases themed residential enclaves designed to reflect the character of the estate, offering a unique and engaging living experience.

Davao City: A Gateway to the dynamic Mindanao landscape

Positioned at the center of the Asia-Pacific Rim, Davao City serves as a vital link between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, making Davao Region a key player in international trade. With the Port of Davao as the busiest in Mindanao, the city plays a crucial role in facilitating commerce and economic growth.

As a culturally diverse metropolis, Davao has become a benchmark for economic and social development in southern Mindanao. Known as the top agricultural, financial, and logistics center on the island, it boasts a dynamic economic activity driven by both local and foreign investments. With a population that ranks third in the country and the largest land area of any city, Davao is a magnet for migrants and investors seeking advancement in the Melting Pot of the Philippines.

In its mission to create self-sustaining microcities, Vista Land is establishing a master planned development in Mintal, also known as the "Little Tokyo" of Davao City, set to blend the rich cultural heritage of Davao with urban conveniences, allowing Filipinos to nurture thriving lifestyles in one of the country's most progressive cities.

Sandera: A Vanguard in the King City of the South

Nestled in a historic district 20 minutes from the city center, Sandera spans nearly 20 hectares of prime landscape that blends urban amenities with the natural beauty of the region. Sandera offers a secure and serene environment where residents can escape the fast pace of daily life.

The vertical residences at Sandera blend into the lush surroundings, with terraces offering breathtaking views and an unmatched sense of space. The homes in the sky rise from the verdant canopy, providing residents with a living experience that feels both connected to nature and delightfully modern. Equipped with smart technology and safety and security features, residents will enjoy the benefits of intelligent design and modern-day conveniences.

At the heart of the neighborhood is an exquisitely designed clubhouse, ideal for hosting family gatherings or celebrating special moments. Children's laughter will fill the air in the safe grounds of play parks, while the meandering pathways offer opportunities for jogging, biking, or leisurely evening strolls.

Every aspect of Sandera has been thoughtfully considered to promote well-being and connection, ensuring that residents feel at home in a place that nurtures both body and spirit.

Sandera is an opportunity to embrace the beauty and abundance of life. Surrounded by panoramic views, residents can slow down and savor the simple pleasures of living in the master planned development.

Whether enjoying a quiet moment on a terrace, sharing a meal with loved ones, or watching children explore open spaces, Sandera encourages its residents to find joy in the everyday.

An investment in a better way of living

As the holding company of the housing ventures of Vista Group, Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. is primarily engaged in developing horizontal properties, master-planned communities, and construction of vertical residences in the Philippines' key growth areas.

Filipinos deserve the best—this driving belief has been integral to Vista Land, its day-to-day operations, and is the secret to its success. Creating better, expansive, and global-oriented offerings and experiences for its residents, as well as delivering excellent long-term investment growth for its stakeholders, has always been the impetus behind the conglomerate's continuous evolution.
