In these extraordinary times, we all learned the need to Recharge. Reset. Recover. Re-energize. In a well-designed space entirely our own.

applying the lessons
The Idea
In the middle of the pandemic, the founders of Havitas Developments began to distill the lessons that can be learned from the crisis and applied to the real estate industry.Influenced by cabin fever, we began to draw up concepts and ideas for new property developments. Concepts that morphed into potential new products.An idea took hold and became compelling enough that the founders decided to build it for ourselves: a modern private getaway just an hour from Metro Manila.
