Megaworld Corporation, the flagship real estate firm of tycoon Dr. Andrew Tan, is investing P12 billion to develop a 25-hectare integrated active wellness township through a partnership with the group behind The Farm at San Benito in Lipa, Batangas.
In a statement, Megaworld said San Benito Private Estate will be a low-density wellness community that offers residential village lots, low-rise residential condominiums, international brand hotel, sports and leisure hub, an active adult center, community gardens, commercial shops inside an expansive nature park, as well as nature walk trails.
To be Megaworld’s 33rd township development in the country, San Benito Private Estate is located just 20 minutes from Lipa City Proper. It offers a stunning view of the Malarayat mountains and is surrounded by lush forests and natural waterways.
Around 50 percent of the entire wellness township will be devoted to green and open spaces, including natural parks, reserves, and terrains. The project will be developed over the next five to seven years.
San Benito Private Estate will be directly connected to The Farm at San Benito. Future residents and visitors will have access to the facilities and amenities being offered by the wellness resort.
“We are happy for this opportunity to develop a game-changing community anchored on holistic wellness,” said Kevin L. Tan, president and chief executive officer of Alliance Global Group, Inc. (AGI), the parent company of Megaworld.
He noted that, “This forms part of our goal at AGI to help further boost the country’s tourism industry by partnering with The Farm, a renowned institution that plays a huge role in introducing the country to the world in terms of medical wellness tourism.”
“Part of our company’s direction is to be able to build sustainable communities that integrate holistic health and wellness, as well as longevity to everyone who will live there, stay there, or visit there. This is where our business philosophy aligns seamlessly with that of The Farm,” said Megaworld Preident Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso.
Dr. Binod Chaudhary, chairman of the Chaudhary Group, one of the owners of The Farm at San Benito, said “This is a shared vision of connecting a very high quality, top-of-the-line real estate business to The Farm. The combination of The Farm and Megaworld can open many new opportunities.”
The Farm at San Benito is an eco-luxury, holistic medical wellness resort that offer natural and holistic, medically-supervised health programs, which have been carefully planned and conducted by internationally-trained integrative medicine doctors specializing in Preventive Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, Functional Medicine, Naturopathic Medicine, and Holistic Medicine.
The resort has received over 100 prestigious international awards, including “Best Medical Wellness Resort in the World” from SENSES Germany, which made its mark as one of the leading medical wellness destinations in the world.
