EVOLVING FOR COMPLETE, CONNECTED LIVING Upgrades at Brentville lead to holistic living and long-term value creation
Brentville offers unique chance at elevated lifestyle and gainful enterprise Thoughtful Southern living More than a shopping experience, The Village Front Lifestyle Retail signifies evolution and enhancement. It is a message that resonates with Brentville’s own passionate pursuit of “thoughtful Southern living.” Locations south of Metro Manila have long been popular among individuals seeking a more tranquil life that turns away from the hustle and bustle of the city but does not sever itself from the perks and conveniences of urban life. That is why the region is dotted with upscale communities that capture the imaginations of the well-heeled and cosmopolitan among us. With Brentville, Prestige by Filinvest refines those previous efforts. The 54-hectare community embraces the character and vibe of the South. However, it also responds to people’s classic and new demands in the communities where they reside. Brentville encompasses its residents’

yearning for beauty, convenience, functionality and sustainability. Prestige by Filinvest thus created an environment that welcomes multiculturalism, respects family life and competes with worldclass addresses elsewhere. A recent affirmation lies with Brentville’s Terrace Homes at Prominence II, winner of the Residential Development 20+ Units Category at the 2025 Asia Pacific Property Awards. Prominence II is one of Brentville’s various residential clusters which also includes Prominence I, The Arborage, The Sunshine Place, West Parc, The Meridien, and Woodmore Spring. Brentville has no shortage of homes that meet modern sensibilities. Renowned designers H1 Architecture and AECOM Singapore deliver spacious suburban homes carrying both style and inclusiveness. Each cluster of dwellings is also gated, making them secure, private and exclusive. The Brentville master-plan further allots for expansive open spaces, well-appointed recreational facilities and resort-like amenities, including lavish clubhouses, cluster cabanas and swimming pools. Combine all those elements with its prime location, right next to a toll exit of South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and minutes away from the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), Brentville truly ignites post-code envy. cont’d on p.2

Complete, connected living At Brentville, you can take leisurely walks down tree-lined streets toward a gathering at the communal spaces or a shopping spree at the retail hub. You can drive to Manila or the provinces further south with ease. Brentville now contains everything that it takes for the ideal suburban life, but recent and upcoming upgrades signify its evolution to offer an even more holistic and connected living experience. The Village Front is part of Brentville’s broader transformation. New entryways have been built, including the gateway at Prominence II. The lagoon at The Arborage cluster — a landscaped centerpiece with water features and greenery — is under modernization, along with the streetscapes. All these visible improvements are meant to boost livability and increase property values, which are beneficial for both residents and investors at Brentville. “For those who have yet to invest, now is the perfect time to secure a stake in this thriving community as we expect a steady increase in property values,” Odra-Sanchez said. She added: “As Colliers Philippines previously reported, horizontal projects have continued to post steady price gains. From 2016 to 2023, house-and-lot developments in the CALABA (Cavite, Laguna and Batangas) area registered an average annual increase of 7.2 percent, while lotonly projects grew by an average of 6.7 percent per year over the same period.” The Arborage is enjoying brisk takeup for its residential lots, indicating a strong demand for residences at Brentville. Beyond residences, prime commercial lots at The Village Front are open for acquisition too. These properties automatically benefit from direct access to high-value communities and a strategic location near expressways, business districts and countless other growth nodes. Ultimately, The Village Front is more than a commercial hub. It is the edification of Brentville’s commitment to redefining and refining suburban lifestyle in the South.

errace Homes, the residential enclave of the sprawling Brentville International Community, enjoys global acclaim for reaching new peaks in the fabled Southern living. The development, situated in Biñan, Laguna, recently scored in the Residential Development 20+ Units Category at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards — its first international win and, given its thoughtful curation, certainly not its last. A proud addition to the portfolio of premier builder Prestige by Filinvest, Terrace Homes carries an innovative development model that makes it grow with its residents.
Gift of fresh start
The model rewards homeowners with the gift of a fresh start. Adhering to a sell-to-build model, Terrace Homes turns over only brand-new units. Under a Condo Title Structure approach, the development also allows speedier legal foreign freehold ownership. Combined with clear documentation and simplified procedures, the measure makes ownership straightforward and inclusive. All units are finely built, ensuring that residents move into durable homes with pristine spaces. They are also built on larger lots that lend more outdoor spaces and personalization. You get enhanced privacy and exclusivity through a lowdensity masterplan.
Organic, cohesive evolution
Encouraging holistic living, Terrace Homes includes amenities that address fitness, relaxation, and socialization. These are phased intentionally, helping the neighborhood to evolve organically

and cohesively, with real community needs and wants. Residents will find assurance in Terrace Homes’ dual-layer security system. The community-wide safeguard is reinforced by cluster-level gated entrances. This leads to a stronger sense of safety and fosters greater closeness among neighbors.
First of many citations
All those elements bolstered Terrace Homes’ chances of winning the Best Residential Development Award at the gala night of the Asia Pacific Property Awards on May 16 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Asia Pacific Property Awards can serve
as an index for more citations ahead. It is one of the regional legs of the International Property Awards that celebrates the very best in architecture, development, interior design, and real estate.

For Terrace Homes and Prestige by Filinvest, the win at the Asia Pacific Property Awards validates the success of its development model — a strategy that prioritizes community, comfort, and investment security.
Gem of a location
That very strategy has ensured Terrace Homes would take shape in a strategic locale. The village is part of the 54-ha township Brentville, which occupies a “gem of a location,” where residents can thrive and prosper. Brentville is located at the gateway of the South, with access to major expressways like SLEX and CALAX. Residents can conveniently drive to Metro Manila’s central business districts like Filinvest City. They may choose to drive further South to experience nature and the countryside. Brentville also features a mixed-use zone, where shops, restaurants, schools and hospitals are. Terrace Homes reflects Brentville’s vision of creating complete ecosystems, poised to bring Southern living to new heights and, in doing so, to be recognized worldwide.
