Hann Resorts (via its Philippine arm Hann Philippines Inc.) has confirmed that its flagship project Hann Reserve — a 450-hectare golf-centred resort development in New Clark City, Tarlac — is slated to open in February 2026. The announcement positions Hann Reserve as the company’s next major expansion following its existing integrated resort in the Clark Freeport Zone.
The master-plan for Hann Reserve envisions three championship-level 18-hole golf courses, designed by marquee names in golf architecture such as Nicklaus Design, K.J. Choi Design and Faldo Design. Complementing the sporting facilities, the resort also plans to incorporate a wellness zone, an international school and luxury residences, as part of an integrated lifestyle community.
In terms of investment scale, Hann Resorts notes that over PHP 50 billion (approx. US $873 million) has already been deployed to its Clark integrated resort operations, and the total projected investment for Hann Reserve is around US $4 billion. The development emphasises not only gaming and hospitality but a longer-term legacy focus — with the company stating that the project is “not just about creating world-class golf courses but leaving a lasting legacy for the Philippines”.
However, the broader context is one of caution: although Hann had sought to list its parent company via an initial public offering (IPO) to help fund expansion, it deferred the IPO citing adverse market conditions. This underscores the financial and regulatory headwinds facing major integrated resort developments in the region. In this light, Hann Reserve’s scheduled opening in early 2026 will mark a critical milestone — not just in terms of the physical asset, but in signalling the company’s ability to deliver large-scale investment and integrated development amid a complex market environment.
