Megaworld’s Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI) continues to remain bullish of its residential projects in Alabang West due to brisk sales and strong demand that prompted the company to launch another phase of the upscale village this month.

According to Rachelle Peñaflorida, vice president for sales and marketing of Megaworld Global-Estate, Inc., after Alabang West was officially launched in October last year, the company has already started selling another phase of residential lots due to the fast take-up of the initial two phases that Alabang West introduced during the launch.

Of the total 788 available lots of the entire village, almost half have been sold out from October to December last year.

The high demand of lots in the township, according to Peñaflorida, has contributed to its good and strategic location in Alabang, aside for its unique selling proposition and its Beverly Hills-inspired theme.
“Due to the good investment climate in Southern Metro Manila, we expect that the remaining available residential lots will be sold out before the first quarter of 2015. We expect land prices in Alabang West to rise by 25 to 30 percent this year from its launch price last year,” says Peñaflorida.
