MANILA, Philippines — As Metro South continues to develop as a key extension of Metro Manila, investment activity in the corridor is increasingly guided by tangible fundamentals—connectivity, infrastructure expansion and the presence of established, functioning communities. The opportunity today lies less in anticipating growth and more in entering markets where value is already taking shape.
Within this context, ownership structures are also evolving, creating new ways to access land-backed residential property in the South.
At Terrace Homes at Prominence II within the Brentville International Community, this flexibility takes the form of a landed condominium model applied. By structuring house-and-lot residences within a condominium framework, it allows buyers to secure the spatial advantages and long-term value of landed property while benefiting from more flexible ownership and transfer structures.
How the landed condominium model works
At its core, the landed condominium model is defined by ownership structure. Similar to a traditional condominium, it is based on divided and shared interests, where individual residences are privately owned while common areas are held collectively.
What makes it distinct is its physical form. Instead of a vertical tower, it takes the shape of a house-and-lot residence, allowing homeowners to enjoy the scale, personal space and openness of suburbia while remaining within a condominium framework.
This structure is also what enables foreign ownership, as condominium units may be acquired within regulated limits even when direct land ownership is restricted. This expands access to a wider market while aligning ownership with how condominium assets are held and transferred.
“Our approach to landed condominium developments is rooted in giving homeowners the best of both worlds,” said Daphne Mae Odra-Sanchez, SVP of Filinvest Alabang Inc., the high-end real estate arm of Filinvest which manages Brentville as part of its portfolio of masterplanned communities.
“It allows them to enjoy the space and privacy of a traditional house and lot, while benefiting from the flexibility and accessibility of condominium ownership.”

Infrastructure, access and the economics of location
Located in Biñan, Laguna, Terrace Homes at Prominence II sits within a region that has transitioned from growth potential to functional urban extension, while still preserving the space and privacy that define Southern suburban living.
Brentville’s location in Mamplasan, Biñan connects directly to SLEX and CALAX, allowing smooth travel across key areas in the South. Filinvest City and Sta. Rosa are within easy reach, while Skyway access supports onward movement toward Makati and other business district. Brent International School sits within the community, while hospitals, offices and leisure destinations—from Alabang to Tagaytay—remain comfortably within proximity.
The broader South corridor continues to gain depth as a residential and economic extension of Metro Manila. Expansion across Laguna and Cavite has introduced commercial and institutional anchors that draw families, professionals and investors into the area.
Brentville reflects this shift as a community already in active use, with retail components such as South Grocer operating within the estate and additional commercial spaces planned, reinforcing its role within a more established environment.

Upscale international living in the suburban south
Within Brentville, residential planning follows a clear estate vision. Gated access, managed neighborhoods and pedestrian-scaled streets shape a low-density environment that supports privacy and everyday ease. Set to integrate into the established community rhythm are the upcoming Prominence II amenities, including the clubhouse and children’s play area, which are nearing completion.
Terrace Homes offers a range of house-and-lot options across different configurations, allowing buyers to select homes that align with their space requirements. Each residence follows a sell-to-build delivery approach, where the construction aligns with payment progress. This ensures that the build quality is maintained while giving homeowners visibility throughout the process.
This approach to development was recognized at the Asia Pacific Property Awards, where Terrace Homes at Prominence II received an award in the Residential Development category, reflecting consistency in planning and execution.
For those seeking immediate occupancy, select ready-for-occupancy homes are currently available, including the Cypress single-detached model and the Mahogany duplex.
As the South steadily takes shape as an extension of Metro Manila’s residential and economic fabric, communities defined by accessibility, considered density and strong estate stewardship continue to hold quiet appeal. The award-winning Terrace Homes at Prominence II reflects a measured approach that makes it rooted in flexibility, foresight, and enduring livability.
