As the Philippine property market closes out another resilient year, boutique developer Livingsprings Communities Realty and Development Corporation (LCRDC) identifies three major housing trends set to define 2026: the rise of sustainability as a standard, the accelerating move toward out-of-Metro homes, and the growing demand for wellness-centric environments.
These insights come as the company highlights Cypress Place Woodland Community in Silang, Cavite—its multi-awarded residential development that brings these trends to life through thoughtful design, cool-climate living, and nature-forward amenities.
Fresh from earning two 5-star distinctions at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2025, Cypress Place is among Cavite’s most compelling new residential communities for modern Filipino families seeking space, climate comfort, and long-term value.
Trend 1: Sustainability Becomes a Non-Negotiable Standard
In 2026, Filipino homebuyers are expected to place even higher importance on eco-friendly living. Sustainability is no longer a desirable feature; it is fast becoming a requirement. Homeowners now expect residences to help reduce energy consumption, promote natural ventilation, incorporate responsibly sourced materials, and support healthier everyday living.
Livingsprings has long anticipated this shift, which is why Cypress Place was designed as a community where sustainability begins at the foundation.
Homes feature thermally insulated walls that help keep interiors naturally cool, strategic daylight design to reduce electricity use, and locally and sustainably sourced materials that minimize environmental impact. Each property also includes a dedicated gardening space, encouraging residents to embrace greener habits at home.
By embedding sustainability directly into the built environment, Livingsprings expects more developments in 2026 to follow the same path of practical, lived-in eco-consciousness.
Trend 2: Out-of-Metro Homeownership Continues to Surge
Another key trend shaping 2026 is the continued shift toward homeownership beyond Metro Manila. Demand for cooler climates, quieter surroundings, and larger spaces is pushing buyers toward provinces like Cavite, a top performer in recent real estate outlooks for leisure and secondary homes.
Cypress Place sits at the heart of this movement. Located in Silang, the community benefits from the area’s naturally cooler temperatures and proximity to Tagaytay’s famed breezy weather. Its strategic location also allows residents to stay connected to the city while enjoying a calmer, greener way of life. Major road networks—including CALAX East, CAVITEX, CBTEX, Nuvali, and the central business districts of BGC and Alabang—are all easily accessible.
Because of its climate, accessibility, and master-planned design, Cypress Place appeals equally to families seeking a primary home, OFWs investing in a second property, and buyers seeking a long-term leisure residence that doubles as a rental opportunity.
Trend 3: Wellness Environments Become the New Luxury
The idea of “luxury” is also shifting. Homeowners increasingly value wellness-driven features that support relaxation, outdoor recreation, movement, and access to nature. This demand for mindful living environments is set to strengthen in the coming year.
Cypress Place responds to this trend with a master plan shaped around wellness as an everyday experience. Tree-lined walkways connect the entire community, providing residents with refreshing paths for daily strolls. Multiple pocket parks give families and pet owners safe, open spaces to unwind. Outdoor amenities—including a basketball and pickleball court, a cabin-inspired playground, and dedicated meditation pods—allow homeowners to enjoy Silang’s breezy climate in different ways.
Combined with the area’s natural cool weather and gentle winds, Cypress Place offers the kind of calm, restorative lifestyle many Filipino families are now prioritizing.
A Development Built for the Way Filipinos Want to Live in 2026
The convergence of these trends is reflected throughout Cypress Place, one of the reasons it achieved top honors for both architecture and residential development this year.
Architect Monique C. Albert-Lopez, Co-Founder of Livingsprings, explains, “Buyers today want homes that let them breathe—more light, more green, more room to grow. Cypress Place is our response to these evolving needs. It brings together sustainability, climate-friendly design, and meaningful outdoor spaces that celebrate Cavite’s natural beauty.”
The development offers six house types, with opportunities to combine adjacent lots for premium single-detached layouts. With prices ranging from ₱6 million to ₱14 million, Cypress Place provides substantial value for homeowners seeking a thoughtfully planned, wellness-centric community.
Currently in its early development phases, the project includes both pre-selling and ready-for-occupancy homes, making it an accessible option for buyers as the new year begins.
