Susana Heights Village vs Forresta in Villar City: luxury lot prices and what you get (2026)

Updated · By Tony Huang · Part of our guide to Susana Heights Village

Forresta is Brittany's ultra-luxury lot enclave in Villar City, south of Alabang: about 25 estate lots of roughly 800 to 1,500 sqm, from ₱109 million, with turnover targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026. Its 809 sqm entry lot works out at about ₱134,700 per sqm. Susana Heights Village in Muntinlupa sells lots of 280 to 1,450 sqm from about ₱73,300 per sqm with VAT, and even its large ridge and park-facing lots were listed at about ₱82,000 to ₱112,000 per sqm in April 2026, so a Susana Heights lot of the same size costs far less, in an established village with its own SLEX exit.

For a lot of about 800 sqm, the difference is large: at Forresta’s entry price per square metre an 800 sqm lot is about ₱108 million, while at Susana Heights’ April 2026 list prices with VAT it would be roughly ₱59 million to ₱90 million depending on the lot type, before the developer’s discounts. See Susana Heights Village lot prices per square metre for the detail.

Two kinds of luxury lot

Forresta is a new enclave in Villar City, the Villar group’s township of about 3,500 hectares spread across Cavite, Laguna and southern Metro Manila. PhilSTAR Property described Forresta in 2023 as a 118-hectare mixed-use estate with half its area given to parks, whose first residential district of 19 hectares has about five lots per hectare. Brittany describes it as a walkable “city in the forest” with gardens, trails and parks, and lists nearby Evia, Alabang Town Center, San Beda Alabang, De La Salle Zobel and Asian Hospital. It is marketed with an Alabang address, but its License to Sell is from the CALABARZON region and Brittany’s own listing gives Molino IV, Bacoor.

Susana Heights Village is an established village in Muntinlupa, lived in since the 1970s, which the SM Group is renewing as part of the 284-hectare Susana Heights estate, with an initial ₱25 billion investment. Its lots sit 30 to 55 metres above sea level, according to the developer, along a 25-metre, tree-lined main avenue, and the village has its own exit on the South Luzon Expressway.

What the price difference buys

  • At Forresta: one of about 25 lots in a small, park-centred enclave, a new address in a township still being built, and a new home among few neighbours.
  • At Susana Heights: a lot of similar size for well under Forresta’s price per square metre, inside Metro Manila, in a village where you can start building now, bought from the developer with discounts for cash or up to five years to pay (see payment terms). Smaller lots from 280 sqm bring the entry price to about ₱20.5 million.

Before you choose

  • Compare the same thing: price per sqm after discounts, with VAT and other charges.
