Question 1

How much do lots at Lausanne at Crosswinds cost?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne preselling prices as of the January 2026 pricelist range from ₱36.1M to ₱53.2M. Final price depends on lot type (Uphill, Downhill, Through-Lot, Corner), specific size (394–544 sqm), and view orientation (Manila Skyline-facing or community-facing).

Corner lots and skyline-facing positions carry a premium within each floor type. Prices may have been updated since the January 2026 pricelist — verify current pricing with the broker before making a reservation decision. For a computation matched to a specific lot, contact the broker directly.

Question 2

What lot types and sizes are available at Lausanne?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne offers 75 lots across a 5-hectare enclave within Crosswinds, in four lot configurations:

Uphill — elevated grade within the enclave. Tends toward better views and natural air movement.

Downhill — lower grade. Generally more sheltered, different site-build conditions.

Through-Lot — road access on both sides. More flexible build orientation.

Corner — two street frontages. Premium position; commands highest pricing within the enclave.

View orientation matters at Crosswinds: northeast and northwest-facing lots capture the Manila city skyline view. Southwest-facing lots look into the pine forest and community interior.

All 75 lots are within the same Crosswinds pine estate — Lausanne is one of several residential enclaves inside the masterplan, alongside Cedar Brooks, Pine Grove, and Montreux Garden.

Question 3

What is Crosswinds Tagaytay and what's already built there?

Accepted Answer

Crosswinds Tagaytay is Brittany Corporation's flagship mountain estate — a 124-hectare development styled around Swiss alpine architecture and pine forest living. It is the only pine estate residential community in the Philippines.

What is already built and operational: Over 35,000 pine trees across the estate, Crosswinds Swiss Café and restaurant cluster, a hotel, lifestyle retail, and multiple completed residential enclaves (Cedar Brooks, Pine Grove, Montreux Garden). The infrastructure — roads, utilities, perimeter security, landscaping — is in place.

Lausanne is a preselling lot release within this established community. You are not buying into a raw development. You are buying land inside a pine estate that is already functioning as a destination — with all the lifestyle infrastructure that took a decade to build already surrounding your lot.

Question 4

Lausanne is lots only — do I have to build right away?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne sells titled residential lots without a house. Two approaches are common among buyers in this segment:

Build: Crosswinds is already a functional pine estate community. You can engage an architect and begin construction after lot turnover. Brittany enforces design guidelines — architectural style, minimum floor area, setbacks — to maintain the community's Swiss-alpine character. Confirm current construction requirements with the developer or broker.

Hold: Buying the lot and holding is a deliberate strategy for many Lausanne buyers. Crosswinds operates within a fixed land supply — the masterplan has defined boundaries and Brittany does not add lot inventory arbitrarily. Holding titled land inside a completed luxury estate in Tagaytay is a different risk profile than holding raw agricultural or subdivision land elsewhere in Cavite.

Lausanne is not designed as a short-term income property or rental investment. The entry profile — premium land, long bank terms, luxury community — is built for buyers with a 5–10 year horizon.

Question 5

Where exactly is Lausanne located and how far is it from Manila?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne is within Crosswinds Tagaytay, accessible via Tagaytay-Calamba Road and the Aguinaldo Highway corridor.

Distance from key points: BGC/Taguig — approximately 1 hour via CALAX. Alabang — approximately 45–50 minutes. Makati — approximately 1 hour via SLEX/CALAX. Tagaytay Ridge and Peoples Park — 10–15 minutes within Tagaytay.

Elevation: Approximately 800 meters above sea level. The climate shift is immediate — noticeably cooler than Metro Manila year-round, with pine forest air quality that is the primary lifestyle draw for this address.

CALAX has substantially reduced drive times from Metro Manila's southern cities and Laguna. The expressway connection makes Crosswinds viable as a primary residence for those who work in the south corridor, and as a weekend destination for Metro Manila-based buyers.

Question 6

What is the payment structure for Lausanne?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne payment structure as of the January 2026 pricelist:

Downpayment: 15% of TCP, spread over 24 months.
For a ₱36.1M lot: 15% = ₱5,407,500 → ~₱225,300/month × 24 months.

Bank balance: The remaining TCP financed via bank loan. Land loans in the Philippines typically carry higher rates and shorter terms than house-and-lot financing — budget for 9% interest over a 5-year term as a planning estimate. Monthly bank amortization on the balance of a ₱36.1M lot is substantial — contact the broker for a full computation specific to your lot.

Spot cash: Buyers who pay the full TCP within 7 days of reservation receive a meaningful price advantage. This is the most cost-effective acquisition path for buyers with available capital who want to minimize total outlay.

For a personalized computation — DP schedule, bank estimates, total cost comparison between spot cash and financed terms — contact the broker directly.

Question 7

Is Lausanne a good investment or is it purely a lifestyle purchase?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne's investment case is different from a preselling condo or H&L project.

The core argument: Crosswinds operates within a fixed physical boundary — 124 hectares with a finite number of residential lots. Brittany does not expand the estate. As each lot enclave sells out, remaining land becomes scarcer by definition. Titled land inside a completed luxury pine estate in the Philippines has no direct comparable — the 'only pine estate community in the Philippines' is not a marketing claim that can be replicated elsewhere in Tagaytay.

What Lausanne is not: It is not a rental income vehicle. Tagaytay tourism is short-stay, and raw lots do not generate income until built. It is not a short-term flip — liquidity in the premium lot segment is limited, and preselling land takes years to appreciate to exit-profitable levels.

Honest framing: Lausanne is a land-banking decision for buyers with a 5–10 year horizon who want a lifestyle asset that holds or grows value in a supply-constrained location. Buyers who need near-term returns or income should look at different vehicles.

Question 8

Who is Lausanne the right buy for?

Accepted Answer

Lausanne suits three buyer profiles.

Metro Manila executives and high-net-worth families who want a Tagaytay weekend address — already inside a fully developed community, not raw land in an uncertain location. CALAX puts Crosswinds at ~1 hour from BGC, making it viable for regular use, not just rare visits.

OFWs buying a lifestyle property ahead of return — a cool-climate estate address that appreciates while they work abroad and is ready to build on or hold until they are ready to come home. The remote purchase process is straightforward with a Special Power of Attorney.

Long-horizon investors who understand land-banking in a supply-constrained luxury location. Crosswinds will not grow larger. Each enclave release reduces what's left. The fixed-supply dynamic is the investment thesis — not yield, not quick resale.

Not the right fit: Buyers who need income from the property. Buyers with a sub-5 year timeline. Buyers whose primary constraint is monthly cash flow — the DP and bank amortization at this price range require genuine capital capacity.
