Nuvali continues to break records, achieve unprecedented growth

Hi! Here I am back with another informative write-up from Philippine Daily Inquirer, published on September 7, 2015, written by Theresa S. Samaniego. You may find the entire article below the photo. 

In less than a decade, the country's first ecocommunity that is Nuvali has proven to be a highly significant economic catalyst which has transformed some 2,290 hectares of barren land in Laguna into an integrated mixed use community where residences, businesses, institutions and recreation areas are seamlessly interwoven, thus enabling an equilibrium of modernity, nature appreciation and community engagement.

This, in essence, is how leading property developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has again demonstrated its expertise in bucking trends and revolutionizing the Filipino way of living. Nuvali has successfully replicated ALI's trademark of excellence in creating highly livable and sustainable cities as seen in the company's previous developments within and outside of Metro Manila. 

Since its launch in 2009, Nuvali has, indeed, seen an unprecedented growth from the foot traffic, the number of companies and residents that have located in the area, the jobs generated, the increasing tax contributions to national and local government coffers, to raising the economic value of land and property in the area. Today, Nuvali continues to see and welcome a growing number of investors, locators and residents, enabling it to leapfrog to become a growth center in the region. 

"Among the major central business districts in the country, we have the highest rate in land value appreciation from the time of launch and we are happy that our investors and buyers have shared in the success of Nuvali," noted General Manager John Estacio. 

"In a couple of years, we will begin to have mid-density residential offerings for our higher end brands. We are seeing a huge public interest into eco-friendly living spaces, since there is value for money here and work-life balance is achievable with the green, recreational spaces," Estacio related. 

Fastest Growth 

Twice the original size of Hacienda Makati, Nuvali has accounted 20 percent of ALI's revenues over the past five years and 15 percent of the company's net asset value, making this eco-community the largest and fastest growing development in ALI's history. 

And Nuvali is more than well poised to further solidify its position in the market as the leading eco-city is opening several new projects to complement its expansion plans, starting with the recent completion of Solenad's third wing, a new commercial shopping complex that brings together the best mix of local and global fashion brands, and a variety of cafes, restaurants and world-class entertainment options. 

With over 40,000 sqm of additional retail space, this P2 billion retail expansion is set to further boost local economic activity within the area and its neighboring communities and generate close to 1,000 new jobs. It will feature some 200 stores that can cater to a much bigger market from Laguna to Metro Manila, Tagaytay, Batangas and other nearby provinces. 

"Solenad will be a catalyst and a milestone project that will contribute to the speedy overall growth of Nuvali," Estacio said.

Adding to its group of recreational and commercial developments will be the opening of Camp N this October, a multi-purpose site built for outdoor and team-building activities. While S&R membership shopping center is slated to launch later this year and QualiMed to be operational by 2nd quarter of 2016. 

But what is seen to further add value to the Nuvali development in the coming years is the opening of the Cavite-Laguna Expressay (CaLaX), which is expected to enable ALI to attract more investors and residents and tap a much bigger market. 

"With CaLaX, we will soon be directly connected to the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). Visitors will be able to take the Mamplasan Exit, which is just a short drive away from Nuvali's doorstep," Estacio said. 

Wisest Investment 

At present, Nuvali offers a diverse portfolio of products within the development, enabling it to register a commendable 14 percent compounded annual growth rate, thus making it a truly wise and practical investment for companies seeking for an alternative location for their offices and operations. 

It has also seen some 12,000 residential units being sold over the past years, proving that Nuvali is an investment of choice not only of businessmen, but also of homebuyers looking for a property that could provide them with guaranteed returns and long term value. 

In terms of economic contribution, Nuvali continues to play a significant role as it is currently the third best realy taxpayer in Sta. Rosa. Through its various locators, Nuvali has already provided some 4,000 jobs and is expected to further generate another 2,500 jobs given the continuous expansion of the area. 

Nuvali continuous to grow with some 85,000 square meters of gross leasable retail and office space. We plan to double the size of our office spaces from 31,000 sqm to 60,000 in three to five years," Estacio disclosed. "One of ALI's major targets for the coming years is to build or locate offices in its mixed-use green urban district. We will be providing potential business locators two types of office formats."

As for its residential offerings, Nuvali also takes pride in providing the widest range of home options with costs starting from P1.8 million to P20 million. Four out of ALI's five residential brands namely Ayala Land Premier, Alveo, Avida and Amaia are present within the development, with the latter providing the community its first mid-density development. 

Indeed a fast-thriving eco-city, Nuvali is built upon three sustainable fronts which include economic, environmental and social sustainability. Nuvali has more than proven than it does not only cater to the needs of the present generation, but it can also help shape the future and provide a highly sustainable community for everyone. 

Most sought-after regional growth center in Calabarzon

Hi y'all! I'm excited to share an article I read 2 days ago. If this won't convince you that to acquire a property in NUVALI is a wise step and a sound investment I don't know what else will...

Nuvali emerging as regional growth center in Calabarzon

By Louise Maureen Simeon (The Philippine Star) | Updated August 20, 2015 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - Nuvali, Ayala Land Inc.’s bustling eco-city in Calamba, Laguna, is seeking to become Calabarzon’s regional growth center as it lays out further expansion in the next five years.

Accounting for 20 percent of ALI’s revenues since 2009 and 15 percent of the parent firm’s net asset value, Nuvali is building up its leasing assets, focusing primarily on office spaces worth P12.5 billion, doubling its size from 31,000 square meters (sqm) to 60,000 sqm as part of its five-year plan.

“One of the company’s major targets for the coming years is to build or locate offices in its mixed-use green urban district. With this, the eco-city is providing potential business locators two types of office formats,” Nuvali general manager John Estacio said. 

Nuvali is also upbeat on the opening of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (Calax), a public-private partnership program of the government, to further boost investments and markets from Metro Manila, Cavite and nearby provinces.

Calax, which will begin construction in the next two years, will directly link Nuvali and South Luzon Expressway and cut travel time by less than an hour from Makati.

“This Calax will be a big boost to us and we think that this will lead us to the right path towards becoming a regional center,” ALI’s Strategic Landbank Management Group head Meann Dy said.

Furthermore, the 40,000-sqm regional mall Solenad 3 is set to be the start of Nuvali’s major push towards being the region’s business and commercial center.

Solenad 3

The P2-billion expansion of commercial shopping complex Solenad 1 and 2 that will house local and international brands is seen to provide additional 2,500 jobs from the existing 4,000 jobs.

“Solenad will be a catalyst and a milestone project that will contribute to the speedy overall growth of Nuvali,” Estacio said.

Seven interconnected building under Solenad 3 will house 400 retail shops and restaurants, four cinemas, activity center and fiesta market. The first and second phases of the project were opened last May and August, respectively, the third phase will open by November and the last phase is set in April next year.

Before 2015 ends, Nuvali will intensify its expansion plans by opening several new projects including membership shopping center S&R, which will be launched in the fourth quarter of the year.

The 100-bed general hospital QualiMed, on the other hand, is also set to open in the second quarter of 2016 while outdoor recreational activities site Camp N and international Catholic school Everest Academy are also in the works.

Avida NUVALI Living

Hi! Do you ever wonder what it's like to live in an Avida NUVALI community? Interested how some residents style their home and what drives them to style their home the way they do? Here's a sneak peek. Below is material from the Avida Living magazine issue 1/2015. Avida Living is a monthly magazine distributed to all Avida homeowners/condo unit owners. 

Its aim: To feature refreshing lifestyle and home design tips. 

Let's have a closer look on young couple August & Eira shall we? :) 

BY STEVEN GONZALES
PHOTOS BY JAR CONCENGCO
"For a young couple like August and Eira Alagan (both are 26 years old), their home is like a platform for growth. It's also an opportunity for the two to let their personalities shine. August works as an I.T. specialist for a company in Alabang while Eira, a former preschool teacher, does freelance graphic design and substitute teaching on the side. "On weekdays, we're up by 5 AM. I prepare breakfast and his baon while he gets ready for work. There's not much to do yet since it;s just the two of us, for now," says Eira. "If I get home early enough, we go out to eat in one of the restaurants in Solenad," adds August. While their works take up much of their time., the Alagan home is a bit more comfortable than their day jobs. The space is balanced with clean lines and pops of color. One of the walls is brushed in deep navy that serves as the backdrop for their clipboards pinned with interesting details like travel mementos, illustritations, and photos from memorable trips. Together, August and Eira have transformed (and are still in the process of!) their first home into an insipiring home. The cute couple is proof that a dream and good design don't have to cost an arm and leg." 

NAME: August & Eira Alagan
LOCATION: Ridgeview Estates NUVALI 
SIZE: 226 sq m (lot area)
YEARS LIVED IN: 5 months

THE STYLE Cozy and and travel-inspired. Since this is our first home together, we didn't want to overwhelm ourselves with the job of decorating a house. We just made sure that we'll always feel relaxed when we're at home. 

DESIGN INSPIRATION Definitely traveling. We tried to incorporate ideas we got from the different places we've stayed in abroad. We set up our accent wall so we can display the photos and tokens we've aquired from our travels, and placed a few trinkets around for more character. 

FAVORITE PIECES We love the clipboards on our accent wall. It's easy to switch up and add onto the displays. We can even clip on our bills there, so we don't forget them. 

FAVORITE SPOT In the living room. I like to watch movies and TV or just listen to some music while reading a book. - August

I spend most of my time in the kitchen. I like to try out recipes I saw online or on Food Network. - Eira

HOME CHALLENGES While the house was being built, we made sure that we would have more than enough storage space. We were hands-on with the layout of the built-in cabinets and the division of space. We also did our own research online and through interior design books to get more ideas on how to decorate our home. 

FAMILY AND FRIENDS' THOUGHTS They seem to like it! Especially the kitchen and the travel-themed accent wall. 

NEXT HOME PROJECT Our extra room is in need of an overhaul. Right now, it's just a space to keep office supplies. We already have a plan. We just need to free up a weekend to work on it. 

ADVICE TO NEWBIES Investing in a home gives you more freedom to customize your space according to your needs. If you can, have a place for everything. While making the layout of our kitchen, we made sure our small appliances would have their own space inside the cabinets to keep them off the counter top. When moving in, or designing, focus on one space/room at a time. 

HOME SOURCING The bigger pieces come from stores like Our Home and Dimensione. Several items are from SM Department Store. We go to Ikea when we're abroad. 

WHY AVIDA Aside from it being built by Ayala Land, we chose an Avida home because the house layout and design let us maximize the spaces without compromising the overall look. 

BEST THING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY We love the community and the amenities it offers. Here in our village, they promote having a healthy lifestyle and being closer to nature. We have a jogging path along the greenway that runs across the whole village. There are also pocket parks and open spaces.
