GERI investing P5 B for 150-ha Batangas beach and golf estate


Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), the leisure property development arm of Megaworld Corporation, is investing P5 billion for the 10-year mixed-use development of a 150-hectare beachside property in Lian, Batangas.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, GERI said the project called Lialto Beach and Golf Estates will be a sprawling integrated lifestyle community sitting on a highland featuring sweeping views of the sea and nearby islands.

Set amidst gently sloping and rolling terrain, the development will feature a residential village, a world-class 18-hole golf course, a beach clubhouse featuring an iconic 20-meter tall lighthouse, landscaped gardens, and a nearly one-kilometer coastline that includes a beach area.

The residential village will offer prime lots with sizes ranging from 300 square meters up to 1,200 square meters, including those along the fairways and on elevated areas.

A major highlight of the development will be the Beach Clubhouse by the shore, which will be exclusive to property owners and their guests. 

The Clubhouse will be inspired by modern Italian aesthetics that emphasize simplicity and classic beauty, delighting future residents of the village with breathtaking views of the sunset, the sea, the beach, and the nearby mountains. 

It will also feature a modern, resort-inspired reception lobby, swimming pools with cabanas and lounge areas, changing rooms, children’s playground, a multi-purpose covered court, outdoor tennis court, yoga area, pocket parks and open spaces, and a viewing deck overlooking the horizon.

“We designed this development for people who want to be surrounded by the beautiful vistas of the beach and the sea, while also enjoying an unparalleled golf lifestyle,” said Megaworld Global-Estate, Inc. Vice President of Sales and Marketing Javier Romeo Abustan.

He added that, “Whether you dream of raising your family in a healthy and sustainable environment, retiring and enjoying an active and engaging community, or simply investing in a place where you can grow and enjoy your future, this development promises to be a very special place for years to come.”

As a sustainable community, Lialto Beach and Golf Estates will be lined up with solar-powered streetlights, as well as adopt a mangrove area along the beach to become the community’s protected marine sanctuary.

Lialto Beach and Golf Estates is approximately 2.5 hours away from Metro Manila and about 45 minutes away from Tagaytay. From the central business districts of Makati or Taguig, it can be accessed via the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) leading to the Calatagan-Lian Highway. 

Lialto Beach and Golf Estates will be the Megaworld Group’s 32nd township development, uniquely positioned as an integrated lifestyle community because of the expansive natural environment and leisure components that the future residential community will enjoy. 

GERI’s other integrated lifestyle communities include Eastland Heights in Antipolo, Rizal; Twin Lakes in Laurel, Batangas; Boracay Newcoast in Boracay Island; The Hamptons Caliraya in Lumban-Cavinti, Laguna; Sta. Barbara Heights in Iloilo; and Arden Botanical Estate in Trece Martires-Tanza, Cavite.
