Question 1

How much do lots at Elara at Villar City cost?

Accepted Answer

Elara preselling prices as of May 2026 range from ₱28.1M for the smallest lots (231 sqm) to ₱76.3M for the largest corner and prime positions (up to 636 sqm). Price is determined by lot area, position within the block, and orientation.

Full cash buyers receive a 40% discount off the Total Contract Price — significantly reducing the effective acquisition cost. For bank-financed buyers, 85% of TCP is loanable at 7% interest.

Question 2

What lot sizes are available at Elara?

Accepted Answer

Elara Phase 1 covers 4.1 hectares and offers 49 lots distributed across 7 blocks, with sizes ranging from 231 sqm to 636 sqm.

At 231 sqm, you have room for a well-proportioned 3–4 bedroom custom home with a garden. At 636 sqm, the lot supports a large family compound, landscaped setbacks, a private pool, and multiple-car garage — the estate-level build that Brittany's premium neighborhoods are designed around.

All lots are raw land — no house is included. You design and build your own home after the lot is turned over. Brittany does not restrict third-party architects but does enforce community design guidelines to maintain the development's character.

Question 3

Elara is lots only — what does that mean and what can I build?

Accepted Answer

Elara sells titled residential lots without a house component. This is intentional — Brittany's premium lot communities are designed for buyers who want to build a custom home to their own specification, timeline, and budget.

What you get: A titled lot in a master-planned, gated community with shared amenities (Vitality Pods: Recharge Zone, Climb & Core, Eco Move, Pocket Garden, Club House), maintained roads, perimeter security, and Brittany's landscaping standards.

What you decide: Architect, construction firm, house design, timeline. Brittany enforces community design guidelines (minimum floor area, setbacks, architectural standards) to protect the neighborhood's character — confirm specifics with the developer or broker at reservation.

For buyers not ready to build immediately: Holding the lot is a valid strategy. Villar City is a long-horizon development — buying the land early and building when you are ready is a common approach among investor-buyers in this segment.

Question 4

What is Brittany Corporation and how is it different from Crown Asia?

Accepted Answer

Brittany Corporation and Crown Asia are both subsidiaries of Vista Land & Lifescapes — the same parent company behind Camella, Vista Residences, and Lessandra. Within Vista Land's brand ladder, Brittany occupies the premium tier.

Brittany's product profile: Large residential lots and house-and-lot estates. Communities like Portofino (Alabang), Crosswinds (Tagaytay), Lausanne, and Forresta. Target buyer: executive families, high-net-worth individuals, large-lot investors.

Crown Asia's product profile: Mid-premium house-and-lot (Siena, Pontello) and condominium (Trieste, Novus Prime, Bern). More accessible price points, Italian-inspired community themes, broader market reach.

In practical terms: Buying Elara (Brittany) means buying into Vista Land's most premium land product — a different positioning, buyer profile, and long-term value trajectory than a Crown Asia preselling house-and-lot at the same address.

Question 5

What is the reservation fee and how does the payment structure work?

Accepted Answer

Elara payment structure as of May 2026:

Reservation fee: ₱300,000.

Downpayment: 5% of TCP, payable over 24 months.
For a ₱28.1M lot: 5% = ₱1,404,000 → ~₱58,500/month × 24 months.

Bank balance: 85% of TCP financed at 7% interest over up to 15 years. At 7% / 15 years, bank amortization on the 85% balance of a ₱28.1M lot is approximately ₱215,000/month — contact the broker for exact figures based on your chosen lot and bank.

Full cash option: 40% discount off TCP within 7 days of reservation. On a ₱28.1M lot, full cash net price is approximately ₱16.8M — the most cost-effective path for buyers with available capital.

For a complete computation, contact the broker directly.

Question 6

Where is Elara located and what makes the location significant?

Accepted Answer

Elara sits within the UTown District of Villar City, accessible from Daang Hari Road — the main spine of the masterplan.

Key distances: The Villar City Stadium (2 min), Orchard Golf Course (7 min), DLSU Medical Center (8 min), MCX expressway (15 min). MCX connects to SLEX and the Alabang corridor. CALAX reaches Laguna in ~30 minutes.

Elevation is a meaningful factor: Elara sits at 120 meters above sea level — significantly above Metro South's flood-prone lowland zones. This is a structural site characteristic, not a marketing angle, and it compounds in value as buyers increasingly factor flood risk into land decisions.

The surrounding area is still actively developing — which is both the risk and the entry advantage. Villar City is one of the largest private urban developments in Asia at 3,500 hectares. Brittany's track record at Portofino and Crosswinds points to where a mature masterplan in this developer's portfolio eventually lands.

Question 7

Can PAG-IBIG financing be used to buy a lot at Elara?

Accepted Answer

Brittany Corporation does not accept PAG-IBIG (HDMF) housing loans for Elara or any Brittany project — this includes both standard PAG-IBIG and PAG-IBIG OFW accounts.

Standard financing for Elara is: 5% equity over 24 months + 95% bank loan at turnover, or full cash with discount. Bank financing is through conventional lenders — BDO, BPI, Metrobank, and similar.

Note: Even setting aside Brittany's policy, the PAG-IBIG maximum housing loan as of 2026 is ₱6.5M — Elara lots start at ₱28.1M, so PAG-IBIG would cover roughly 23% of the minimum lot price regardless. For OFW buyers, the applicable financing vehicle is an OFW housing loan from a conventional bank.

Question 8

Who is Elara the right buy for?

Accepted Answer

Elara suits a specific buyer profile.

Executive families who want to build a custom estate home — not buy a developer-designed house — in a premium gated community with maintained amenities and Brittany's design standards. Lot sizes from 231 to 636 sqm support builds from a large family home to a full estate.

Long-horizon investors who understand Brittany's development track record (Portofino, Crosswinds Tagaytay) and want early land positioning in Villar City's UTown District before the masterplan reaches full maturity. The 120m elevation and premium lot position are durable value characteristics.

Cash buyers with available capital: The 40% spot cash discount makes Elara's effective acquisition cost significantly lower than the listed TCP — a meaningful entry opportunity for buyers who can move without bank financing.

Not the right fit: Buyers who need a ready house now — Elara is lots only, construction is separate. Buyers whose budget is under ₱28M. Buyers who need PAG-IBIG financing — the loan ceiling does not apply at this price range.
