New lifestyle and retail hub in Biñan's high-end village breaks ground and starts construction, ushering in a destination that will blend shopping, dining, and everyday convenience with prime opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs.
The Village Front Lifestyle Retail, the newest addition to Brentville’s The Village Front commercial hub, officially broke ground on its mall development, signaling the rise of the South’s latest experiential suburban destination. Designed to feature curated spaces for shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, the project will seamlessly connect affluent neighborhoods to nearby business centers, unlocking fresh opportunities for both investors and entrepreneurs.
“The Village Front Lifestyle Retail reflects our vision for Brentville as a complete community where life flows with ease and distinction," says Daphne Sanchez, Filinvest's senior VP for residentials and estates. "Designed around the South’s suburban character, it will be a vibrant landmark that connects people, experiences, and everyday conveniences in one destination.”

Strategically located at the entrance of Brentville, a master-planned enclave of premium residential neighborhoods, The Village Front primarily caters to these affluent households. Beyond its immediate community, however, it also taps into a broader market base: the wider Laguna population, students from nearby schools, and professionals from established companies and hubs such as Unilab and Laguna Technopark. With these diverse markets already present in the area, The Village Front enjoys an established and sustainable customer base from the outset.
What sets The Village Front Lifestyle Retail apart from conventional malls and commercial centers is its vision. With AECOM Singapore and H1 Architects as foreign and local architectural consultants, the development is carefully designed for the South’s more relaxed and suburban lifestyle – offering not just convenience and access, but also a space where businesses and customers can thrive in a laid-back yet vibrant environment.
Available prime commercial lots
With construction underway, limited commercial lots are available for acquisition. Entering at today’s price point allows investors to capture maximum value before appreciation accelerates.These spaces unlock the South’s investment edge, offering an unmatched opportunity to establish a foothold in an emerging lifestyle hub.
