Megaworld Corp. has completely sold out four residential village developments across the Philippines, generating approximately ₱28 billion in total sales revenue. The sold-out projects signal a shift in demand as wealthy buyers increasingly favor upscale, horizontal village lots over traditional city condominiums.
A Strategic Shift Toward Horizontal Living
The P28 billion sales haul from four fully sold-out residential villages marks a significant milestone for Megaworld, reflecting a broader shift in the Philippine property market. Wealthy buyers are increasingly prioritizing larger footprints, privacy, and master-planned provincial estates over traditional high-rise condominiums in Metro Manila . This trend has allowed Megaworld to diversify its residential portfolio beyond vertical developments, with horizontal offerings now generating strong market interest across its townships in key provincial growth areas .
The sold-out projects include Maple Grove Park Village in General Trias, Cavite; Paragua Beach Village in San Vicente, Palawan; Ilocandia Beach Village in Laoag City, Ilocos Norte; and Embassy Hills in Quezon City . Embassy Hills, located in New Manila, marks Megaworld's first ultra-luxury residential village under its Luxe Collection brand, targeting the high-end market with expansive lots and exclusive amenities . Meanwhile, Paragua and Ilocandia Beach Villages cater to buyers seeking resort-style and coastal living in emerging tourism destinations.
Maple Grove Park Village: Cavite's Resort-Inspired Community
In Cavite, the 22-hectare Maple Grove Park Village stands as the first residential village inside the 140-hectare Maple Grove township, featuring 377 residential lots ranging from 280 to 518 square meters . The village is designed as an "exclusive luxury resort-inspired community" with nearly 40 percent of its area devoted to green and open spaces, including eight themed gardens . The clubhouse, designed by global architecture firm WATG—known for projects like Shangri-La Boracay and Atlantis The Palm in Dubai—features a wellness pool, lap pool, kids' pool, fitness gym, movement studio, massage rooms, and alfresco lounge areas .
The project was launched in 2022 with prices ranging from P20.4 million to P37.1 million, and around 85 percent of the village was already sold prior to the full sell-out announcement . Megaworld Senior Vice President Eugene Lozano emphasized that the development was designed to offer residents "an urban oasis" and "an escape from the busy metro" . Located along the Antero Soriano Highway in General Trias, Maple Grove is approximately 40 minutes away from Makati and Bonifacio Global City, with future infrastructure projects like the LRT-1 Cavite Extension and the Cavitex-Calax link expected to boost long-term connectivity.
Strong Demand Reflects Confidence in Cavite's Growth
The full sell-out of Maple Grove Park Village reinforces Cavite's position as a top destination for quality residential investments. The province has become a key industrial and suburban growth corridor south of the capital, attracting major developers like Megaworld, Ayala Land, and Villar Land . General Trias, in particular, has rapidly transformed from an agricultural municipality into a thriving urbanized hub, hosting major industrial estates and benefiting from improved road infrastructure .
Megaworld President and CEO Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso noted that the sustained demand for these developments reflects the strength of the company's township model and reinforces its confidence in the long-term growth potential of its master-planned communities nationwide . The company currently has 37 townships spanning more than 7,000 hectares across the country . For homebuyers and investors, the success of Maple Grove Park Village serves as a strong indicator that Cavite remains a top choice for quality residential investments, offering the perfect balance of suburban living with proximity to employment hubs and modern conveniences.
