Nasugbu Airfield

Land redevelopment for economic reasons. The airfield was deliberately closed by the property owner, the Hamilo Coast resort (developed by SM Prime), to repurpose the land for resort support facilities. The value of the land for building warehouses, maintenance areas, and vehicle depots outweighed the benefit of maintaining a private airstrip.

The site is no longer an airfield and has been fully repurposed for resort back-of-house operations. The former runway is now occupied by:
1. A large warehouse or maintenance building on its southern portion.
2. Open-air storage for resort equipment and materials.
3. Parking for resort service vehicles, such as trams, vans, and staff transportation.
4. The remaining parts of the asphalt are either used as access roads within the facility or are overgrown with vegetation. The original runway markings are gone.

The airfield, locally known as the Hamilo Coast Airstrip or Pico de Loro Airstrip, had no major national historical significance. Its importance was as a private aviation facility serving the exclusive Hamilo Coast and Pico de Loro Cove resort complex. When active, it handled general aviation traffic, including small private propeller planes and helicopters. It provided a convenient and luxurious mode of transport for resort members, guests, and executives, allowing them to bypass the 2-3 hour drive from Manila. The airstrip was an important amenity during the resort's initial development phase to enhance its exclusivity and accessibility.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Nasugbu Airfield. The construction of permanent, large-scale buildings directly on the former runway makes a future reopening in its original configuration virtually impossible without major demolition and redevelopment. The developer's decision to repurpose the land indicates a strategic shift away from maintaining a private airfield. Future air access to the resort is likely limited to existing or future helipads.
