Havitas Properties Inc., a niche real estate developer founded by industry veteran Michael Tan, is launching two leisure-focused projects worth P2.1 billion in Batangas and La Union. The projects aim to capitalize on the growing demand for unique, experience-driven accommodations, particularly in established tourist destinations outside Metro Manila.
The Batangas project, Aya Hills, features 76 modern vacation villas overlooking Taal Lake. Priced between P8 million and P10 million, the villas offer both luxury and income potential, catering to buyers seeking vacation homes that can also generate returns via short-term rentals. In addition, Havitas is preparing to launch a 75-villa seaside development in San Juan, La Union, with prices ranging from P13 million to P20 million. The villas will offer private pools and beach access, with owners having the option to lease their properties through the resort.
Beyond leisure developments, Havitas is planning to enter the affordable housing market. The company is eyeing a project in the Calabarzon region, offering homes priced between P2 million and P3 million, with a targeted launch in 2026. This move diversifies Havitas’ portfolio, positioning the company to serve both high-end investors and a broader market segment seeking quality yet affordable housing.
These strategic expansions highlight Havitas’ commitment to tapping into high-demand tourism areas while exploring new opportunities in the housing sector.
