MEDITERRANEAN CALM MEETS MODERN DYNAMISM IN PROVENCE BY VISTA ESTATES
It may as well be every traveler’s dream destination, with idyllic settings made more stunning by its rich, diverse landscapes, dramatic coastlines and sweeping expanses of lavender fields.
This is the beautiful, historical region of Provence, located along the Mediterranean seaboard of southeastern France, touted to be picture-perfect in a myriad of ways. From its breathtaking sceneries to its medieval abbeys and quaint villages, many have been captivated by the allure of Provence—so much so that some have even aspired to reside in such a charming locale, finding it an ideal setting to raise a family.
Today, such an aspiration is within reach as Vista Estates brings that same idyllic splendor and beauty of Provence in its newest megacity north of Metro Manila. Rising in the City of Malolos in Bulacan is Provence by Vista Estates—a 350-ha premier enterprise megacity that promises an upscale lifestyle for its residents and an exceptional business hub for its future locators.
HISTORY MEETS ENTERPRISE
Located 45 km from Metro Manila, Bulacan proves to be an excellent location for this project.
This so-called “Gateway to Northern Philippines” touts proximity to the capital region, enabling the province to benefit from the spillover growth from the metro’s central business districts. This contributes to the economy of Bulacan, made even more vibrant by its enviable location, abundance of natural resources, skilled talent pool, developing infrastructure, ease of doing business and peace and order situation.
At the same time, Bulacan connects Metro Manila to the rest of the progressive provinces up north, thanks to the key infrastructure projects that continue to enhance its accessibility. Besides the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) and the Clark International Airport in neighboring Pampanga, upcoming projects will further boost its connectivity. These include the Malolos-Clark Railway, the North-South Commuter Railway and the New Manila International Airport.
On a good day, it takes 30 minutes to reach Metro Manila from Provence, which is strategically located along MacArthur Highway in Malolos, near the Tabang and Pulilan exits of NLEx.
Malolos is particularly a fitting home for Provence. Like its namesake French region, the capital of Bulacan is rife with heritage structures that remind it of its proud past.
Historically, Malolos played an integral part in the development of the Philippines as a nation. Ancestral homes and colonial churches are well preserved including the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of Malolos, which served as the presidential palace of Emilio Aguinaldo during the First Philippine Republic.
At present, Malolos, known as the banking capital of Bulacan, is a progressive city with a roster of businesses that continue to fuel its growth and dynamism— making it a perfect fit for Vista Estates’ megacity.
PROVENÇAL ARCHITECTURE
Provence by Vista Estates takes inspiration from the beautiful archetypes of Provençal architecture, which exudes the joie de vivre of southeastern France.
Residences in this megacity have been mindfully designed to ensure that spaces are airy, luxurious and sprawling, while still evoking a warm, cozy, rustic vibe. An earthy design aesthetic was achieved by incorporating organic elements like exposed brick, native stone, terra cotta tile, faded finishes and wood flooring reflected in ceilings of patinated beams.
Cool pastels and neutral tones of the French Mediterranean dominated the color palette of the residences, which have been adorned with honey-hued living areas cooled by shuttered windows opening into gardens and pathways. Elegant, simple, yet uplifted living is the hallmark of Provençal style—and that as well of Provence by Vista Estates.
MEDITERRANEAN HISTORY, METROPOLITAN BUSTLE
While Provence by Vista Estates offers a taste of the historical French region, it is, at the same time, poised to become a bustling modern megacity north of the National Capital Region.
Provence is comprised of three zones that host commercial hubs, business parks, vertical villages, as well as social and leisure districts.
“Monte Carlo” is the first node, inspired by Monaco’s beloved resort quartier— the playground of the wealthy and beautiful. Rising here is a comprehensive integrated commercial hub offering residences, leisure options and services centers that include a VistaMall, a hotel, a hospital, a business park, an academic institution and mid-rise residential buildings.
The second node is called “Avignon” or the “City of the Popes” which, in Europe, is a famed Unesco historic center renowned for its gorgeous frescoes and ancient architecture punctuated by the largest Gothic palace in the world, the imposing Palais des Papes. In Provence by Vista Estates, this will be home to a laidback neighborhood, with a commercial center, vertical villages and an educational institution.
“Nice” is the third node of the megacity where the charm of the resort city Côte d’Azur will be made apparent. This zone will serve as Malolos City’s ultimate social and enterprise district that will center around a church, fronted by a plaza where families and friends can converge. Also rising here are commercial lots, an events place, a shophouse block and mid-rise condominiums with a leisure hub designed to live up to the adage, “work hard and play even harder.”
Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. is investing in these masterplanned developments to ensure that Vista Estates will make good on its promise to homebuyers and investors to create superior offerings and deliver excellent long-term investment growth.
Provence by Vista Estates will no doubt be a dream destination, giving Filipinos a home, community and workplace offering the life and style reminiscent of this historic French region.
