Property giant Megaworld, renowned as one of the Philippines’ leading real estate developers and a pioneer of the 'LIVE-WORK-PLAY' township concept, is making waves in the northern province of Ilocos Norte. With the unveiling of the Ilocandia Coastown, they are setting the stage for a vibrant and upscale community along the western coastline of Laoag City. This 84-hectare development promises a blend of luxury and tradition, drawing architectural inspiration from both Filipino and Spanish heritage designs.

The Ilocandia Coastown will offer upscale residential developments, a chic shophouse district, and a bustling commercial district. But that's not all! At the heart of this township will be a town center poised to become an iconic focal point. Imagine a place where heritage meets modernity—a true embodiment of Megaworld’s vision for the future.

Location is everything, and Ilocandia Coastown couldn’t be situated in a more promising spot. Nestled just beside the renowned Fort Ilocandia Hotel and a mere 15 minutes from Laoag International Airport, this township is a gateway to convenience and culture. Furthermore, it's less than 30 minutes away from the historic Paoay Church, making it a prime destination for tourists and residents alike.

According to a recent study by the Philippine Statistics Authority, the Ilocos region is the third fastest-growing economy in the country, trailing only Central and Western Visayas. With Laoag City identified as a potential digital hub by the Department of Information and Communications Technology, the economic prospects are shining brighter than ever. Megaworld's investment in the region underscores their belief in unlocking these opportunities through innovative development.

With a sprawling 1.4-kilometer beachfront and the famous sand dunes of Ilocos Norte as its backdrop, the township invites residents to embrace leisure and luxury. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying a morning stroll on pristine sands—this is the lifestyle Megaworld envisions for its future residents.

Moreover, the development's design pays homage to cultural heritage while integrating modern amenities. This harmonious blend ensures that Ilocandia Coastown stands as a testament to the rich history and promising future of the region. Whether you're a local or a newcomer, this township promises an unparalleled living experience.

Megaworld is investing P15 billion in Ilocandia Coastown over the next decade, underscoring their commitment to the region. This marks their 34th township development and their first foray into Northern Luzon. With a presence already established in Central and Western Visayas, Megaworld is poised to complete the trifecta of thriving regional economies in the Philippines.

Kevin L. Tan, president and CEO of Alliance Global Group, the parent company of Megaworld, emphasizes the strategic importance of this investment. As tourism and economic activities flourish, the Ilocos region stands poised for unprecedented growth.
