Golden MV Holdings, Inc. is a Philippine holding company with stakes on real estate and death care industries. It is associated with Manny Villar.

History

Golden MV Holdings was incorporated on November 16, 1982. It initially began solely as a company which develops and manages columbaria in the Philippines.[1]The first Golden Haven Memorial Park was established in 1984 in a 2 hectares (4.9 acres) lot in Las Piñas. The enterprise is associated with businessman and politician Manny Villar.[3]

In 2016, Golden Haven Memorial Parks, Inc. was listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange and dropped "Memorial Parks" from its name.[4]

In 2017, the company expanded to the mass housing after it started acquiring Bria Homes Inc. for around ₱3 billion from Cambridge Group, Inc. which is also a Villar company.[5][6] It renamed itself from Golden Haven Inc. to Golden Bria Holdings in the following year. It adopted its current name in 2020.[6]

In October 2024, Golden MV obtained several lots of lands which will be part of the Villar City development.[6] It has surpassed SM Investments and SM Prime in market value at ₱1.29 trillion.[7][8] The following month, it was announced that the company will be renamed Villar Land Holdings Corp.[6]
