Century Properties selling 2,000 homes in Nasugbu

- By IRIS GONZALES

Century Properties Group is offering approximat­ely 2,000 homes in its first residentia­l tourism project, Batulao Artscapes in Nasugbu, Batangas.

Through its leisure, tourism and hospitalit­y business unit, CPG has already pre-sold 342 vacation homes worth P2 billion.

Launched in December 2017, Batulao Artscapes lies on a 142-hectare developmen­t with the first phase comprising 36 hectares.

The so-called ‘artventure’ community has attracted local end users seeking a weekend retreat, as well as families and active retirees looking for secondary homes that are not too far from Metro Manila but are surrounded by nature and a cooler climate, said Tim Hallett, head of CPG’s leisure, tourism and hospitalit­y division.

“This community is the first of its kind in the market. We are excited to bring something that combines art, nature and adventure into this beautiful out-of-town property. We are optimistic of the market’s continuous positive response to the project given the expanding middle class and surge of domestic tourism in the Philippine­s,” he said.

Art is the driving force behind the entire project, Hallett added.

Batulao Artscapes is touted as the world’s first livable art park with vacation amenities, including a man-made beach with a clubhouse and a lake with a charming wedding chapel.

The whole developmen­t is expected to draw tourists as well as the complement­ary public attraction­s within the property such as the sports park, flavor park, and art park with museums designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects.
