Forresta: Your opportunity for growth in 2025
The Year of the Wood Snake is said to bring numerous opportunities to build wealth.
Based on Chinese mythology, snakes are associated with good luck, prosperity, fertility, and longevity. They are also revered for their ability to shed skin and renew themselves, symbolizing growth, transformation and new beginnings.
At the same time, this year’s “birth chart” is said to have one unit of direct wealth as well as combinations of heavenly stems and earthly branches that can deliver three more “hidden” units, according to the World of Feng Shui website. It said that while “wealth opportunities may not always be apparent, they are there, waiting to be discovered with the right approach and effort.”
Prime opportunities
Those looking to grow their wealth might thus find 2025 another ideal year to invest.
For real estate in particular, the growing economy, improving infrastructure, and rising demand for quality residential and commercial spaces are helping provide an environment ripe for investment. Add to that the right approach, which can make your real estate investment journey potentially even more rewarding with immediate returns and long term appreciation.
One standout example would be Forresta, a 118-ha versatile mixed-use estate designed to become the epitome of exclusive, nature-centric luxury living. Rising within the 3,500-ha Villar City, Forresta is poised to offer prime opportunities for those looking to capitalize on urban expansion and infrastructure development.
Forresta also represents the most exclusive and prized project of Villar Land chairman Manny B. Villar. It means that this particular mixed-use community has been reserved for the company’s finest endeavors and most prestigious ventures.
Luxury and sustainability
And indeed it is. Forresta holds the distinction of being the first and only development of its kind within Villar City.
Drawing inspiration from its natural surroundings, Forresta integrates towering trees, lush fields, and serene waterways into its contemporary design comprising high rise towers, condominium complexes and residential lots—thus offering residents and investors an extraordinary balance of luxury and sustainability.
The first district of Forresta, envisioned to be a “walkable, bikeable, and breathable” city, will span 19 ha, of which 5.1 ha have been allocated for Brittany’s ultra-luxurious residential estate.
This highly exclusive neighborhood offers prime and spacious residential lots, situated in the most coveted location in this “city in a forest”, providing unmatched connection to nature while still ensuring your utmost privacy and tranquility.
Only 26 lots are on offer, with sizes ranging from 800 sqm to 1,461 sqm—translating to only five lots per hectare. Future homes here are poised to become peaceful sanctuaries amid a thriving ecosystem of a million trees and over 100 gardens throughout the Forresta estate.
Wellness community
Such design and masterplan have also allowed Forresta to take its concept of wellness to a new level—blending nature’s beauty with luxurious amenities to create a community that prioritizes holistic well-being.
Here, wellness is not just about maintaining physical health, but also about enriching the soul and cultivating a peaceful mind.
The tree-lined streetscapes and serene pocket gardens invite you to slow down, unwind, and recharge, while the winding paths allow for either a stroll or a leisurely bike ride through verdant surroundings. Soak in the greens, sunshine and fresh air at the Forresta Park and Forresta Fields, where expansive spaces offer the ideal spot to reflect, enjoy a quiet afternoon, or bond with loved ones.
Strategic location
Despite offering an exclusive haven, Forresta is centrally located in Villar City, a modern megalopolis poised to become Metro Manila’s new center of gravity.
Its prime location offers ease of connectivity to Metro Manila and South Luzon through major expressways like the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway, South Luzon Expressway, Skyway Stage 3, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway. Residents enjoy quick access to top schools, prestigious medical facilities, exclusive country clubs, high-end shopping destinations, and event venues.
In fact, in less than 30 minutes, residents can reach Brittany Palazzo, Evia Lifestyle Center, SOMO Vista Mall, Coffee Project Glass House, and even the bustling business districts of Bonifacio Global City and Makati CBD.
No doubt, Forresta strikes the right balance between serene nature and dynamic urban living, offering both tranquility and convenience in equal measure.
Make the most of 2025
As the Year of the Wood Snake encourages strategic moves and thoughtful investments, make sure to seize the right opportunities that align with auspicious energy.
With its prime location, world-class amenities, and visionary masterplan, Forresta in Villar City is indeed one promising opportunity that can offer financial growth, a fulfilling lifestyle, and a legacy for generations to come.
