The turn of the year often prompts a reassessment of priorities.
It brings with it a desire for a fresh start through better choices that make daily life easier. Reflections about achievements, comfort, well-being, and stability begin to surface, along with questions about where to best invest your hard-earned savings.
Housing naturally emerges as a key consideration. After all, a home shapes everyday living while offering long-term financial security. Choosing well means looking beyond immediate appeal to developments that are well located and thoughtfully designed to hold their value over time.
This is where Brittany, the luxury leisure and residential arm of the Villar Group, comes in. Known for its carefully planned residential and leisure communities, Brittany focuses on developments that support day-to-day living while ensuring relevance.
Its projects emphasize strategic locations, designs inspired by the most iconic global cities, and beautiful settings meant to be lived in comfortably, thus making these Brittany communities smart yet practical addresses ideal for those looking to start fresh this year.
As 2026 begins and priorities come into focus, choosing a home now indeed carries greater weight. Fortunately, Brittany offers a clear place to start. Here are five reasons why you should consider a Brittany community today.
1. Built to support everyday well-being
Brittany communities are planned with open spaces, walkable layouts, and natural features that help residents slow down and recharge.
Crosswinds, Brittany’s 124-hectare Swiss-inspired estate in Tagaytay City, exemplifies this approach. With its cool climate, rolling terrain, and thousands of pine trees, it offers a peaceful setting where nature plays an active role in daily living. At the same time, it ensures easy access to unique dining concepts that are located within the community as well as modern comforts that are just a few minutes drive from Crosswinds.
2. Located for long-term stability
Strong locations remain central to Brittany’s developments, ensuring that homes retain relevance as surrounding areas grow.
The up and coming 5-ha Forresta, situated within the emerging Villar City in Metro South, will place homeowners early in a master planned district positioned for long-term urban growth, supporting lifestyle convenience and future value. Its strategic location ensures that its future residents remain well connected to key business districts, major transport corridors, and everyday essentials, while enjoying a setting shaped by greenery and open space.
Planned as a low-density, nature-forward community, Forresta balances the accessibility of urban living with the comfort and calm of a residential setting.
3. Planned for comfort and ease
Daily comfort comes from thoughtful planning, which means manageable density and access to essential conveniences.
At the 26-ha Pievana in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, residential clusters are organized around green corridors and open spaces, creating a calm living environment while also remaining connected to nearby urban centers.
4. Designed with flexibility in mind
As priorities shift, homes that can serve multiple purposes—primary residences, retreats, or income-generating properties—become increasingly appealing.
Leisure developments such as Bern in Baguio City and Escana in Boracay Island respond to this need by offering opportunities to own a home in these prime, established tourist destinations. These communities will allow homeowners to enjoy personal use, whether as weekend retreats or seasonal residences, while retaining the option to generate income or hold the property as a long-term asset.
Such flexibility makes these Brittany communities especially attractive to investors seeking enjoyment today and value preservation over time.
5. Backed by regional recognition
Brittany’s approach has not gone unnoticed. Last December, it was named Best Lifestyle Developer at the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards, placing it alongside leading developers in the region. The recognition highlights Brittany’s strength in creating communities that are well designed, intuitively planned and iconic yet livable and conducive to everyday life.
