NUVALI - SUSTAINABLE DESIGN FOR EVOLIVING
|
  
Less than an hour south of Makati, a new metropolis is evolving. Nuvali is Ayala Land and the Yulo family's vision of the sustainable future. Covering a total land area of 1,600 hectares, it will be developed at unprecedented scale and speed. Its evolution begins with the coming of three new residential communities. Getting there is a 50-minute drive from Makati thru Sta. Rosa Exit of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). By the first half of 2008, a road will connect Nuvali directly to the Mamplasan Exit of the SLEX.
Nuvali is a metropolitan development project representing an evolution in Ayala Land's approach to master planning. It is the first large-scale development in the Philippines to be built on the principles of sustainable design:
Environmental Sustainability
* Water conservation systems built into core infrastructure
* Advanced waste management and recycling systems
* Road networks with dedicated bike lanes and walkways
* Privately managed eco-friendly mass transport systems
* Energy-efficient equipment and fixtures
Economic Sustainability
* Eco-friendly building features that lead to lower long-term operating costs, lower insurance costs, higher marketability and higher asset values
* Open, natural, and peaceful environment that yields greater productivity and better worker retention
* Diversity of opportunities to live, work and recreate
* Improved economic progress in the greater Laguna area
Social Sustainability
* Abundant public spaces, schools, museums, and park
* Workforce supported by local communities, who will benefit from training programs established by Nuvali
The first phase will have a retail center linked to the developments first business and technology campus. It will also have an iconic visitor's center, gathered around a four-hectare multi-functional lake. Nuvali’s first phase includes three residential communities: Abrio, Treveia, and Avida Settings. From its inception, Nuvali will be developed with one thing in mind: Evoliving, a way of life that promotes intelligent and systematic care for the environment, enriches the community, and values its people. Low-density residential neighborhoods are designed to promote a healthy social atmosphere without overcrowding. In line with Ayala Land's eco-friendly master plan for Nuvali, approximately 50 percent of the residential areas will be devoted to open spaces.
Three new Ayala Land communities make the promise of EVOLIVING possible for all.
ABRIO delivers an extraordinary level of privacy, exclusivity, and security to Ayala Land's top-tier clients, who place great value in the ability to live in a discreet environment where freedom of movement can be enjoyed without having to live behind high walls. Abrio's roads are designed to conceal homes from street view, and its main road will have a right-of-way nearly as wide as the carriageway of Ayala Avenue. The property's size is limited to only 380 lots, and its building density will only be half that of comparable premium neighborhoods. Security and resource-management systems will employ the latest technology, such as infrared fencing and rainwater harvesting, to ensure an unrestricted yet environmentally responsible lifestyle.
TREVEIA introduces a lifestyle that warmly nurtures close family and community ties in a healthy, upscale and eco-friendly environment. Almost half of its 60-hectare land area is dedicated to tree-shaded open spaces and parks, with an extensive array of beautiful-designed and innovative modern amenities. The development is neatly organized into several small neighborhood clusters, and grouped into four distinct themes after the natural elements of water, wood, earth and wind, each one creating interesting opportunities for community activities. At the center of it all is a 2.5-hectare grand central park with an impressive clubhouse and expansive outdoor area that cater to different peer and individual activities for all ages. Treveia definitely presents plenty regain quality time with the people who matter the most.
AVIDA SETTINGS is an affordable, environment-friendly community designed with the Mother Nature at its center. It offers well-planned community amenities and facilities that allow more time for family bonding activities. The house and lot offerings of this neighborhood create many firsts for Avida's residential developments. Consistent with the overall NUVALI master plan, 45% of the property has been allotted to open space, which means wider roads and more areas for families to play and relax outdoors. House designs are also more modern and contemporary. Three neighborhood patters will be available to choose from: the standard block, the courtyard, and a new concept called green ribbons. The green ribbon layout is an exclusive feature of the development. Here, one can have immediate access to open space surrounding the house, creating mini-gardens, which are easily accessible and visible from homes.
