Brittany, the luxury leisure and residential arm of the Villar Group, was named Best Lifestyle Developer at the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2025, held recently in Bangkok, Thailand.

The regional recognition places Brittany among Southeast Asia’s leading developers known for creating modern, lifestyle-driven communities and underscores the growing competitiveness of Philippine real estate firms on the regional stage.

The Best Lifestyle Developer award is given to companies that excel in designing communities where daily living is enhanced through thoughtful planning, strong amenities, and environments that support personal and family well-being. Brittany was cited for its consistent integration of elegant design, accessible open spaces, and architecture that harmonizes with natural surroundings.

Industry observers noted that the win is significant for the Philippines, particularly in a region where lifestyle-led residential developments face intense competition and are evaluated not only on build quality, but also on user experience, community planning, and overall livability.

The Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards is one of the region’s respected property award-giving bodies, recognizing developers and projects that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and strong execution across Southeast Asia.

Brittany has long been associated with master-planned communities inspired by globally admired destinations, with a focus on greenery, refined aesthetics, and elevated living. Its portfolio includes the 124-hectare Crosswinds in Tagaytay City, a Swiss-inspired estate characterized by rolling terrain, a cool climate, and more than 35,000 pine trees, offering a European countryside-inspired lifestyle.

The company’s upcoming developments further highlight its emphasis on lifestyle and leisure. Pievana in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, and Forresta in emerging Villar City are designed around biophilic principles, restorative spaces, and low-density layouts that prioritize green corridors and walkability.

Meanwhile, leisure-oriented projects such as Bern in Baguio City and Escana in Boracay Island cater to growing demand for properties that offer climate advantage, experiential value, and potential income opportunities.

Brittany’s regional win reinforces the Philippines’ presence in the premium real estate segment and signals that Filipino developers can meet and exceed Southeast Asian benchmarks in planning, design, and livability.
