What Is The Villar Avenue?
The Villar Avenue, is the vibrant main artery of Manny Villar's expansive 3,500-hectare landmark venture, officially named Villar City.
This magnificent 10-lane avenue, which begins at the juncture of The Crossing Cafe and Dear Joe along Daang Hari Road, is set to alleviate traffic congestion and significantly reduce travel time.

It's an extremely pedestrian-friendly avenue - with open spaces, shaded walkways, major public transport hubs, and world-class links to nearby cities. The Villar Avenue will also offer cycling lanes for leisurely rides or commuting. Villar Avenue is set to be a major highlight of Villar City, ensuring its residents have easy access to any part of the development.
Why Is Villar City Better Than PAGCOR Entertainment City?
Villar City stands out from other destinations because it is more than just an entertainment hub. It is a place for people to live, work, and play. It combines the best of Philippines living with world-class amenities and infrastructure. Here are some reasons why Villar City is better than Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation PAGCOR Entertainment City Philippines:
1. A location that is easily accessible:
One of the primary advantages of Villar City is that it is located in the bustling city of Las Pinas. This means that the destination is easily accessible from every part of the city. Villar City is just a short drive away for those who live in the South. It is also convenient for visitors from other parts of Metro Manila who can easily get there via a cab or public transportation.
2. An array of shopping and leisure options:
At the heart of Villar City is the Evia Lifestyle Center, a shopping and dining haven that offers a range of stores, hotels, and eateries like the PAGCOR City. With over a hundred boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, this shopping mall provides visitors with a wide range of leisure options that cater to all tastes and ages.
3. A haven for relaxation and rejuvenation:
Apart from shopping and dining options, the Villar City also has a resort and spa located in the midst of the vibrant city. The resort and spa offer visitors the chance to relax and rejuvenate in their luxurious accommodations. It also features a wide range of treatments, such as facials, massages, body wraps, and more.
4. A safe and secure environment:
Villar City provides a secure and safe place for families to relax and enjoy. The destination has its own security personnel that are trained to provide a safe and secure environment for visitors. Additionally, the city's strict safety protocols ensure that social distancing measures are followed, thus ensuring everyone's safety in the face of the ongoing pandemic.
5. The perfect location for condo owners:
Villar City is an excellent destination for condo owners looking for a place to stay that offers different activities outside their homes. With modern amenities, a shopping haven, and leisure options that cater to all tastes, it offers the convenience of being in the city, yet far from the chaos of the streets. Condo owners looking to buy or rent can find numerous condos or apartments within their budget in Villar City, providing them the perfect opportunity to be a part of this thriving community.
The Legacy Project
Being his legacy project, Villar is carefully designing Villar City to be Metro Manila’s “new center of gravity” to ensure that it will be as iconic as it is massive.
The goal is to create an inimitable cityscape that is a far cry from the existing architecture of Metro Manila. Villar wants Villar City to be something truly special, with modern design and construction, open spaces, and pleasant landscaping.
Apart from its size and scope, Villar City distinguishes itself from PAGCOR Entertainment City Manila through its focus on green and sustainable technology. The Villar Group is committed to using renewable resources like solar and geothermal energy and installing a rainwater harvesting system. Their design for the casino complex also incorporates natural lighting and ventilation, reducing reliance on air conditioning, making casinos conserve energy, and providing a comfortable atmosphere for guests.
Another aspect that separates The Villar City is its emphasis on Filipino culture and heritage. The complex intends to showcase different aspects of the Philippines, from regional cuisine and food to handicrafts and performances from local groups. A museum will also showcase Filipino art and artifacts, highlighting the country’s rich cultural heritage.
What about condo owners?
For those residing in nearby areas, The Villar City presents itself as a potential source of income and a boost to property values. As with any development, it could have its pros and cons. Some may argue that the increased traffic and congestion could be a turn off, while others might argue they would prefer to be closer to such a burgeoning tourism hotspot. Either way, it’s something to monitor closely as details continue to unfold.
$1-B casino venture
The Villar Group recently announced a partnership with a Korean casino partner. The proposed venture would build and operate an integrated casino resort in the Villar City entertainment complex site, estimated to cost $1 billion or more.
The project is expected to turn Villar City into an international destination for gambling, leisure and entertainment, as well as a popular tourist destination. The casino resort is also expected to create thousands of jobs in the area, providing much-needed economic growth for the surrounding region.
If it materializes, the project would be part of Villar City’s larger vision of creating an international destination that caters to all types of guests. Villar City hopes to draw in visitors from all over the country and the world, offering them a range of luxurious amenities and entertainment options that they won’t find anywhere else.
Conclusion
The Villar City is a new and exciting development that aims to compete with the likes of PAGCOR Entertainment City. It's more than just a casino hotel complex; it symbolizes hope and progress for the Philippines. With its commitment to sustainable technology investments, emphasis on Filipino culture, and potential for job creation, The Villar Group is positioning itself as a major player in the tourism and entertainment market. It remains to be seen how condo owners and nearby residents will respond, but one thing is for sure: this development is something to keep an eye on.
