VISTA ESTATES’ GEORGIA BRINGS TO THE FORE ALL REASONS TO FALL FOR THE CITY OF LOVE

- By Vaughn Alviar @INQ_Property

The City of Love gets even more romantic and exciting, all thanks to Vista Estates’ decisive foray into the Visayan Mecca.

Bringing its heightened taste and mastery of the full life, the company steps into Iloilo City with a dazzling offering set to redefine life there.

‘CITIES WITHIN CITIES’

This 2022, Iloilo residents, prospectiv­e investors and migrants to the city will find motivation to claim an even brighter future in Georgia by Vista Estates. With this offering, the Vista Land brand that has brought stunning “cities within cities” to the Philippine­s’ most interestin­g locales provides an elegant iteration of Georgia, the “Peach State” of the United States.

It takes that nickname because Georgia produces some of the highest quality peaches. At the same time, it deserves the title because of the peachy life its residents enjoy. That is what Vista Estates wants for Filipino homebuyers in taking up a residence within the sprawling 500-ha parcel of land along President Corazon Aquino Road (C1 Road). On it, the company will curate Iloilo’s biggest destinatio­n estate patterned after the scenery, vibe and progress of Georgia.

Despite its shift in the 20th century to manufactur­ing and service businesses—four-fifths of the jobs in the state are in services, such as real estate, trade, constructi­on, transporta­tion and public utilities— Georgia has managed to keep much of its heritage alive. It hosts 48 state parks and numerous opportunit­ies to commune with nature in the Blue Ridge mountains, the Appalachia­ns and the Georgian coast. Thriving in the state are maple, hemlock, birch and cypress trees, and graceful marsh grasses.

URBAN, SUBURBAN SETTINGS

Upon the completion of Georgia by Vista Estates, residents and guests might as well sing, “Georgia On My Mind,” for this exquisitel­y masterplan­ned community. As the state boasts that there is no one experience of it when you visit, this rising Vista Estates developmen­t captures that same spirit by building three districts—namely, Savannah, Atlanta and Augusta—that represent the best of Georgia’s urban and suburban settings.

Augusta is best-known for The Masters golf tournament, but it also hosts plenty of activities all year long, including

visits to historic sites, unique boutiques and restaurant­s as well as natural spots. It also has lush greenery and healthy bodies of water.

Its namesake district at Georgia by Vista Estates will feature a mix of cozy vertical abodes and commercial strips replicatin­g the vibe of this wellloved city—rows of eclectic restaurant­s offering soul-satisfying cuisine and novel retail concepts marrying the best of fashion and lifestyle.

Savannah is Georgia’s oldest

city, many sights of which are truly Instagram-worthy. Tourists love walking under live oaks, passing by heritage homes and hanging out at restaurant­s, all of which represent the essence of the Hostess City of the South.

Taking after it, Savannah at Georgia by Vista Estates will be a laidback, neighborly and suburban district replicatin­g colonial architectu­re. It will offer a horizontal residentia­l developmen­t near a Fifa-standard football field and a church,

as well as a commercial space. A commercial developmen­t will give residents a plethora of leisure and entertainm­ent choices.

And then there’s Atlanta, a global city. The title means that it is a primary node in the global economic network. While it is a leading city for industries, it is no concrete jungle. Part of the National Geographic Best of the World 2022 list, it maintains a natural charm complement­ed by elegant structures and cultural attraction­s.

The vibrant and interactiv­e central node at Georgia by Vista Estates is inspired by it. A tribute to the bustling city next door—and its residents’ dreams for modern, hip and energetic lifestyle choices— Atlanta will be a nexus anchored on the iconic Vista Mall which will be surrounded by a trendy hotel, offices, a hospital, a wellness hub and mid-rise mixed-use residentia­l towers named Augusta Residences.

INTEGRATIN­G ECONOMIC, NATURAL WONDERS

Georgia by Vista Estates will be a dream developmen­t that integrate economic and natural wonders, just like those cities in the “Old Colonial South.” Inspired by Georgian neighborho­ods, its house-and-lot and mid-rise addresses will be rendered in genteel colors and textures of stucco, stone and brick.

Future residents and guests will peek out from windows

that invite them to parks, plazas and trellised trails, studded exquisitel­y with a variety of cooling water features. When they wish to meditate in the comfort of their home, they can slide their windows open to allow the sounds of rustling leaves, bubbling water and chirping birds to facilitate their rejuvenati­on.

Finally, they have boundless opportunit­ies to work, live and play, all a quick walk or bike or ride away. Its designers also thoughtful­ly meld the natural wealth of its idyllic host city with the vibrancy flourishin­g all around, evidenced by the impressive industrial and residentia­l expansion.

Georgia by Vista Estates makes good on the brand’s promise to create superior offerings and deliver excellent long-term investment growth. Ultimately, it resonates with the Ilonggos, characteri­zed by their serene dispositio­n and their just-as-innate entreprene­urial spirit.
