Township Living: How Lancaster New City Creates a Community Built for Tomorrow

Cavite, Philippines - Long commutes, packed schedules, and the daily rush often leave families with little time for what matters most. But what if everyday routines could be simpler, safer, and closer to home? This is the promise of township living, where everything you need is within reach without the constant hustle of the city. 

A true township is not just about building houses. It combines spaces for learning, working, leisure, and worship so families can thrive in a well-rounded environment. It is also where kapitbahays naturally turn into kapitbuhays, lifelong companions who share milestones and memories. 

In Cavite, one development has turned this vision into reality. Lancaster New City, the flagship project of Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends), was planned from the start to be more than a residential project. It was built to foster connections, nurture families, and create a sense of belonging. The township has also helped drive the growth of nearby businesses and lifestyle hubs, making the area more progressive and appealing to both families and investors. Its presence strengthens the local economy while shaping Cavite into a vibrant destination for work, leisure, and living. 

“At Profriends, we build houses, and we create communities with care. Lancaster New City is the perfect reflection of this vision turned into reality. It has materialized as a community where families can thrive together, and where the growth of Cavite has driven progress and created more opportunities for its Cavitenos,” said Shannon King, Business Unit Head of Profriends. 

This is why townships like Lancaster New City continue to be the ideal choice for Filipino families searching for a true home. Here are some of the advantages of township living:  

Everyday needs within reach 

One of the primary advantages of township living is having everything within reach, from your daily needs to essential errands. At Lancaster New City, the school, retail establishments, place of worship, and leisure areas are near your home. 

 

There is no need to leave the community to accomplish routine tasks. Everything is within the neighborhood’s ecosystem, bringing both comfort and convenience. 

 

Safe and organized living 

Since a school, a church, and other community institutions are included in its blueprint, a township provides families with a place to flourish. At Lancaster New City, kids can learn and play in safe, accessible environments, while parents enjoy peace of mind. Beyond the community, other schools and places of worship are also within easy reach outside of development, nurturing spiritual life and strengthening community bonds. 

 

This structure provides predictability and stability for families, making day-to-day living less stressful and more enjoyable. 

 

More time for what matters 

Township living means a better balance between work, play, and rest. Your precious time is not wasted on long and frequent trips. Instead, you can spend your spare time on what matters most: resting, playing, and being there for your loved ones. 

 

At Lancaster New City, these moments can also be a shared experience for the community. The township cultivates and supports recreational organizations and activities that transform ordinary weekends into opportunities for connection without needing to travel far. 

 

Opportunities for livelihood 

With the right township, you also reap the benefits of accessible job opportunities, both within and outside the community. At Lancaster New City, one BPO office and commercial establishments create employment close to home. Neighboring townships and developments also contribute to the growing business ecosystem in Cavite, further expanding career and entrepreneurial opportunities. There are also programs such as the Buyanigosyantes initiative to help local entrepreneurs grow their businesses. 

 

Easy access to key destinations 

Another advantage of living in Lancaster New City is accessibility. The township is strategically connected to major road networks such as CAVITEX, NAIAX, SLEX, MCX-Daang Hari, and soon CALAX, making travel to Metro Manila and nearby provinces more convenient. 

 

Public transport options are also improving. The LRT-1 extension connects to PITX, where residents can easily take the Lancaster bus directly to the township. The upcoming Cavite Bus Rapid Transit will further enhance commuting, giving residents multiple reliable options to move in and out of the community. 

 

Designed for the future 

Townships are not just built for the present but are also designed to grow and evolve along with the families who live in them. Lancaster New City started in 2007, and as the community thrived, the demand naturally brought in new businesses and services, making the community even more self-sufficient over time. 

 

More than improving daily life, the township has also played a role in shaping Cavite’s progress. Its growth has encouraged nearby developments, supported local enterprises, and enhanced accessibility, helping transform the province into one of the most progressive areas in the south of Metro Manila. With community-driven initiatives and infrastructure projects continually on the rise, Lancaster New City stands as both a home and a catalyst for the area’s development. 

 

With its forward-looking design, the homeowners win in two ways: it enhances their everyday living experience and increases the long-term value of their investment. They can feel secure knowing that their community is built not just for today’s needs, but for the life they envision in the years ahead. 

 

Visit and experience it yourself 

In today’s busy world, the definition of the ideal Filipino home is not limited to the four corners of the property. It extends to the surrounding community with open spaces, the nearby institutions, and most importantly, the neighbors who support each other like family. 

 

Visit Lancaster New City and see firsthand the benefits of township living to Filipino families. Inquiries and site visits are welcome, giving potential homeowners a chance to picture their own family’s day-to-day life in a thriving, well-planned township.

Alsons Dev Marks Milestone in Avia Estate with Opening of The Abba’s Orchard School

Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) marked a key milestone in the development of its flagship township, Avia Estate in Alabel, Sarangani, with the opening of The Abba’s Orchard School last August 11, 2025. Bringing authentic Montessori education to SOCCSKSARGEN, The Abba’s Orchard strengthens Avia Estate’s vision of becoming a well-rounded and future-ready community.

Nurturing young minds with true Montessori

The Abba’s Orchard is a high-fidelity Montessori school system offering programs from infancy through adolescence. Known for its authentic Montessori approach, the school offers the Erdkinder program (German for "children of the earth”), a unique adolescent curriculum that integrates classroom learning with hands-on experience through an on-site farm environment. Adolescents experience “production and exchange” in a micro-economy that addresses their evolving sense of self-worth (or dignity) in their maturing journey to adulthood.

With its opening at Avia Estate, The Abba’s Orchard becomes the first true Montessori school in the SOCCSKSARGEN region. The new campus will initially offer programs for preschool up to Grade 3, with plans to expand in the future to Upper Elementary and High School levels.

“We’re proud to bring our unique approach to families in Alabel and the wider region. We envision this campus as more than just a school; it is a space where children grow through meaningful and authentic experiences. We’re excited to begin this journey in Avia Estate, helping shape a new generation of independent, purpose-driven learners,” said Chris Barrameda, President and Founding Director of The Abba’s Orchard. He added, “Through our partnership with Alsons Dev, we can further our mission of making quality Montessori education more accessible across SOCCSKSARGEN.”

A month before the school's opening, a ceremonial tree planting took place, symbolizing The Abba's Orchard School's and Alsons Dev’s shared commitment to creating a nurturing and sustainable environment for the region's young learners and their families. 

A partnership rooted in community building

The school’s presence in Avia Estate was made possible through a two-hectare land donation by Alsons Dev, solidifying a shared vision of enabling families to experience authentic Montessori learning in the region.

“At Alsons Dev, we believe quality educational institutions are essential pillars of master-planned communities,” said Miguel Rene A. Dominguez, President and CEO of Alsons Dev. “The Abba’s Orchard reflects Alsons Dev's efforts of making education an integral part of daily life for families in the township.”

This collaboration reflects Alsons Dev’s ongoing efforts to integrate key institutions and lifestyle drivers into its communities, strengthening its developments not just as residential enclaves but as hubs of growth and opportunity.

Advancing Avia Estate’s growth

Avia Estate continues to make steady progress in its transformation into a future-ready township. One of the community’s key facilities, the Alabel Public Safety & Security Complex, was formally turned over last January 2025, reinforcing Alsons Dev’s commitment to ensuring safety and well-being within the estate. The Avia Estate football field is also opening this September 2025, further enriching the township’s recreational amenities.

As part of ongoing efforts to support growth and enhance estate-wide connectivity, construction of the estate's main spine road is in progress. Land development for commercial areas is also set to begin this year, strengthening Avia Estate’s position as a growing economic hub in the region.

By the end of the year, the first batch of house units in Narra Park Residences Avia will be completed, with turnovers scheduled to begin in Q1 2026. Key community features, such as gates and guardhouses, parks, and shared amenities, will also be completed, ensuring a livable and welcoming environment from day one.

Shaping the future in Alabel

With quality education now embedded within the estate and essential features nearing completion, Avia Estate is steadily taking shape as a dynamic, master-planned development where families can thrive. These milestones underscore Alsons Dev’s broader vision of creating inclusive, purpose-driven communities that uplift lives across Mindanao.

Parc Regency Residences, Monticello Villas Hold Youth-Led Familia Fiesta in Iloilo, Sponsored by Profriends

Pavia, Iloilo, Philippines | August 13, 2025 – Homeowners, residents, and employees of Parc Regency Residences and Monticello Villas came together for the third community-led Familia Fiesta, supported by Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends). The celebration featured engaging activities, friendly competitions, and meaningful interactions that showcased the vibrant spirit of Profriends communities while commemorating the company’s 18th year in Iloilo.  

Designed to foster unity, strengthen relationships, and promote social responsibility, Familia Fiesta has grown into a much-anticipated annual tradition. Now in its third year, the event continues to reflect Profriends’ purpose of building not just houses, but vibrant, connected, and empowered communities. Through every game, gathering, and shared experience, the celebration underscored the property developer’s mission of creating communities and transforming lives. 

A lively start to the celebration 

The celebration kicked off on July 19 with a festive motorcade that energized the streets of Monticello Villas and Parc Regency Residences. Homeowners, employees, residents, and volunteers took part in the parade aboard decorated vehicles, waving banners and exchanging smiles that set the tone for the festivities to come. 

The excitement continued at the community gym, where the Youth Club led the volleyball and basketball preliminaries. These friendly matches helped build anticipation for the finals while highlighting teamwork, sportsmanship, and the strong sense of community that defines the neighborhood. 

Celebrating community through engaging activities 

The highlight of the two-weekend celebration took place on July 26, starting early in the morning with the much-anticipated color fun run. Residents of all ages joined the 1KM, 3KM, and 5KM categories, transforming the streets into a lively canvas of color, movement, and cheer. 

After the run, the community came together for a Thanksgiving Mass, a meaningful pause for reflection and gratitude as Profriends Iloilo celebrated 18 years of building integrated communities that create lasting value and uplift the lives of Filipino families. 

“This year’s Familia Fiesta marked a meaningful celebration of our 18th anniversary and reflected the spirit that drives our communities forward. It was inspiring to see families, employees, and partners come together in celebration, showing the strong bonds that have grown within our developments over the years. Moments like these reaffirm our mission to go beyond building houses by fostering communities where people feel a genuine sense of connection, purpose, and belonging. This celebration is a testament to the shared values and relationships that continue to shape our work and strengthen the communities we serve,” said Estate and Assets Management Department Head Ferdinand Martirizar.

The rest of the day offered a variety of activities that encouraged fun, teamwork, and connection. Families took on exciting challenges during the Amazing Race, where participants of all ages competed in games that sparked laughter and built camaraderie. Adding to the charm was the Furbabies Costume Contest, with pets delighting the crowd in their most creative costumes. 

Meanwhile, gamer residents faced off in the Mobile Legends Tournament, while others enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere of Open Pool Day or joined the Bingo games, which offered a refreshing break for families looking to relax and unwind. 

As the day drew to a close, the community gathered for the Basketball and Volleyball Finals. Cheers echoed through the court as friendly competition brought out community pride. The celebration culminated in an Awarding and Fellowship Night, where winners were recognized, and everyone came together to celebrate another successful year of shared milestones, memories, and meaningful connections. 

Continuing the legacy of building communities with a heart 

Profriends established its presence in Iloilo in 2007 with the development of residential estates in Pavia, marking the beginning of its growth outside Luzon. What began as a single development has since grown into vibrant neighborhoods such as Parc Regency Residences and Monticello Villas—communities that have helped shape Pavia into a thriving municipality and opened new opportunities for many local families. 

As Profriends continues to expand, it remains committed to providing Filipino families with quality homes in sustainable communities where they can feel safe, connected, and empowered. 

Events like Familia Fiesta reflect Profriends’ philosophy of being a community builder with a heart. These initiatives demonstrate the company’s commitment to creating spaces where relationships grow, families thrive, and values such as unity, connection, and mutual support are nurtured. The continued success of these events stands as a testament to Profriends’ unwavering dedication to building communities that uplift lives and create lasting impact—transforming Kapitbahays into Kapitbuhays. 

Alsons Dev Unveils Northtown Residences 5, the Most Exclusive Enclave Yet in Davao’s Premier Suburban Township

Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) introduces Northtown Residences 5, the latest expansion within Northtown, a suburban township in Buhangin, Davao City. The newest development marks another milestone in the company’s enduring legacy of building trusted, master-planned communities for generations of Mindanaoans. 

A new benchmark for suburban living

Northtown Residences 5 is Alsons Dev’s most exclusive residential offering within Northtown to date. Strategically located in an elevated area near the Tigatto Entrance, this 8-hectare development features 91 lots, each with a minimum size of 300 square meters. With a density of 12 lots per hectare, it is designed for discerning homeowners seeking privacy, tranquility, and space to build their dream homes.

What sets Northtown Residences 5 apart is its emphasis on low-density living and its generous allocation of green spaces. Over half of the development is dedicated to wide roads, landscaped lanes, open areas, and community amenities. Most lots are on single-loaded roads, with future homes facing only one side of the street and no neighboring lot directly behind them. This layout provides more breathing room, added privacy, and a greater sense of openness. Residents also enjoy scenic views of Northtown, the Mandug plains, and the Magtuod hills, bringing everyday beauty to suburban life. 

“Northtown Residences 5 is envisioned to redefine premier suburban living in Davao City,” said Jeanette P. Cabaya, Senior Project Officer at Alsons Dev and a key member of the team behind the new development. She added, “The property’s natural terrain and orientation created opportunities for larger lots, enhanced privacy, and scenic views for selected lots, resulting in a more exclusive residential enclave.”

As part of a master-planned township, Northtown Residences 5 offers more than a premium address—it provides residents with access to a thoughtfully planned community. Residents can spend weekends at a 2.5-hectare clubhouse complex with resort-style amenities or unwind in one of the township’s many parks. Just minutes away are retail hubs like CityMall Northtown and upcoming commercial areas, while essential infrastructure such as the Public Safety and Security Complex supports a vibrant and secure community. 

Building communities of lasting value

For residents like Rowena Ting, choosing a home in Northtown Residences was a decision rooted in trust in Alsons Dev.

“I was drawn to Northtown because of its prime location, peaceful environment, security, and the reputation of Alsons Dev as a trusted developer,” Ting shared. “Living here has exceeded my expectations. Everything, from the infrastructure to the customer service, reflects their commitment to excellence. It reassures me that I made the right choice, not just for a home, but for a lifestyle I can be proud of.”

Alsons Dev’s reputation for quality and thoughtful planning also resonates with brokers. “People don’t question Alsons Dev’s developments; they get excited,” said Thyra Mae Navarro, a broker under the Lim Agency. “Just like when Northtown was first launched in 2013, everyone knew it would be a game-changer.”

She added that Northtown Residences 5 reflects what today’s buyers are looking for: “Exclusivity, higher elevation, distance from congestion, and the privacy of single-loaded lots. These are the features that make it especially attractive.”

Continuing the commitment

For over 60 years, Alsons Dev has set the standard for real estate development in Davao, consistently introducing pioneering communities that put people’s needs at the center. The launch of Northtown Residences 5 stands as another testament to this promise.

“Northtown Residences 5 represents the next chapter in our commitment to building communities that stand the test of time, anticipating the evolving aspirations of today’s homeowners,” said Miguel Rene A. Dominguez, President and CEO of Alsons Dev.

“This expansion is purposefully designed for those who value a place where people can feel rooted, find balance, and grow with confidence. It’s where they can build a future anchored on space, serenity, and long-term value,” Dominguez added.

With Northtown Residences 5, Northtown becomes more than just a place to live; it becomes a place to belong. As Alsons Dev continues to expand the township with the same integrity and foresight it has shown over the years, planners, buyers, and brokers alike remain confident in one thing: the best is yet to come.

The Charm of Leisure-Inspired Living Outside Metro Manila

For many years, city dwellers have been enjoying the exciting environment of urban life, with many conveniences just within reach. But recent developments have been showing a shift in mindset and behavior with many urban residents attracted to a more tranquil, nature-filled environment offered by leisure-inspired homes outside the city center.

Even before the surge in demand for options outside Metro Manila, luxury real estate brand Filigree saw the potential of Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark, Pampanga as the perfect address for a golf residential community offering the best in modern luxury living outside the city center. Located just beside an award-winning golf course with two 18- hole courses, Golf Ridge Private Estate by Filigree is set to offer the ultimate country club lifestyle inside the master planned township. With its recent topping-off milestone, Golf Ridge is on track to meet its anticipated turnover of units in 2025.

 

Anyone considering relocating inside Filinvest Mimosa Plus will have easy access to the nearby Clark International Airport making them a flight away from international and local leisure destinations, and access to major roads such as NLEX and TPLEX connecting them to other urban centers in Luzon.

 

Given the fully integrated, centered on leisure, masterplan of Filinvest Mimosa Plus, future residents of Golf Ridge will enjoy a holistic lifestyle with access to modern amenities and conveniences even without leaving the township. Everything they need is just a stroll away from their home. From sprawling spaces with mature trees, lush open parks, retail establishments, workspaces that will house private and government offices, and an award-winning golf course, residents will live in a healthy and complete live-work-play neighborhood.

 

Units vary from 2-bedroom with unit sizes ranging from 128 to 139 sqm to a 3-bedroom with unit sizes ranging from 187 to 252 sqm, all having unequalled, and unique picturesque views of the Mimosa Golf Course or the vibrant landscapes of the township. As an extension of the units, the property’s well-crafted amenities further reinforce the elevated country club lifestyle. The residents can run laps in the infinity pool, unwind at the outdoor lounge area, hold intimate gatherings in the function room, and finally enjoy a round of tee on the nearby golf course.

 

From its first property outside Manila with Golf Ridge Private Estate to its portfolio of designer residences in strategic locations within the Metro, Filigree gives residents an exceptional lifestyle in unparalleled locations.
