When we saw the tents from afar, we thought they occupied too big a space for the selling event today, but wow, we were surprised to be greeted by so many people so intent on buying in Venare!

Section J is the last section of Venare, and considered by many to be the best.

It should’ve come as no surprise then that there was an overwhelming response to Alveo’s call for Letters of Intent, officially announced last January 17, 2012.

We had clients who lined up as early as December, but we were also glad to have been able to help even those who submitted LOIs just before the deadline last Thursday.

The queue for bulk buyers or those who want to buy more than one lot (one expressed intent to buy 8!), reached past 26, and single buyers started getting their chance at lot selection past 1pm:

Mom and Dad tagged along as they’ve never experienced a priority selling event before, and mom kept close guard of the map and lot availability as the day progressed.

Here’s the aftermath, as of 3:15 pm February 5, 2012, with taken lots in pink:

There were still a number of people waiting in line after the priority selling, so I assume more lots would’ve been taken before the day ended.

If you are interested in a lot in Venare, contact me johanna@metrorealty.ph or 0920-9624116 so I can give you a heads up on remaining inventory asap.

Late last December, I got to visit the newly opened Elaro sales tent on-site (pictured above), which sits on an elevated lot facing the Amenity Core or main park.

Elaro was launched in early August 2011, and three months after, by  mid-November, we were already sifting through lots for sale in Tranche #3.

What makes Elaro extra beautiful in my book?  I already wrote about its rolling terrain and abundant trees, but I think it worthwhile to point out again that Elaro is located in a beautiful part of Nuvali Central that’s bounded by a bird and wildlife sanctuary.   No fail, whenever I visit the site, I see birds in interesting shapes and sizes, but most heart-tugging of all is the variety of birdcalls.

The next time you’re in the area, roll down your windows and just take in the symphony of birdsong — it will really transport you to another place.

…Nuvali goat herd — Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo!

Taken in Avida Parkway Settings Nuvali on January 2, 2012.

A slight turn to the left, and here’s the view (towards the West).   That’s the perimeter wall of Venare, with trees from the Green Zone already showing.

Any guesses what those two towers are at the rightmost peak?  How about that line of buildings in the middle of the mountain?  :)

This first house has been improved by the owner and is for resale with furniture and appliances, making it literally ready for occupancy.

Location is in Phase 1, Avida Settings Nuvali, with details as follows:

Lot Area: 135 square meters
FA: 66 square meters
3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms

Asking Price: P4,500,000

Typical of houses along the Green Ribbon, the backdoor of the living/dining area opens up to a common garden.

Another RFO unit for sale along the Green Ribbon is this Maia House in Phase 2, built on a 219 square meter lot:

The advantage of this property is its wide easement in front (it’s built on a lot that’s big enough for the biggest house model–the Thea), giving you breathing space both in front and at the back of your house.

Price is P4,382,000. Standard terms by Avida are still available for this unit.

For more information and viewing appointments, please contact me at johanna@metrorealty.ph, 0920-9624116 or 806-0939.

There are still a few lots left in Tranche 2, shown in red below:

Tranche 3  is set for launching next week, November 21, 2011 (Priority Selling).

Venare is Alveo Land’s second residential village inside NUVALI.  It is located in Nuvali South, which is about 8 kilometers from the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay road. Nuvali South is a prime area with gently rolling terrain, and the highest elevation in the whole Nuvali. From here you have panoramic views of Laguna de Bay, Mt. Makiling and Tagaytay. It will also be where the future 10-hectare mall will be located, together with Miriam College Nuvali, which is set to open in schoolyear 2014. Republic Wakepark, a worldclass sports facility run by the same team as CamSur Wakeboarding Complex in Bicol, is also in Nuvali South and will officially launch with an international competition in December 2011.

Available lots are dotted on the elevation map below (click to enlarge). You will notice that one part remains shaded– this is Section J, which is the last section that will be opened. There is still no definite timetable for the launch, but it could be opened either in December 2011 or January 2012.  Letters of Intent are already being accepted for Section J.

For sample computations and updates, contact me at johanna@metrorealty.ph, 0920-9624116 or 806-0939.

You can already see the gently rolling terrain that gives this new project its added charm…

The view deck above shows the actual location of the future Clubhouse and Amenity area.

There is aggressive land development, and you can see road clearings being done.  In a few months, these mini hills will be green with grass–lovely!

If you’re still on the lookout for your foothold in Nuvali, why not consider a small lot in Parkway Settings?   Turnover will be in Q4 2012 — meaning in a year you can already start building your own Nuvali home in a progressive and fast-growing community (there are already 10 villages inside Nuvali now).

Here’s a map showing the available lots in Avida Parkway Settings Nuvali that are below 1.5M, hence VAT-free (click to enlarge):

I’ve always been in love with the rolling terrain of Venare (shown below), and I was hoping I’d have enough extra funds  to buy a lot there by the time the last Section would open (which may happen next month already).

Now here comes Parkway Settings with an offer that is just too good to resist:

• You get to enjoy the similar rolling terrain (with a slightly lower elevation than Venare, but still much higher than the rest of Nuvali)
• You get to enjoy the winds and views of Nuvali South: Laguna de Bay, Mt. Makiling and Tagaytay
• You get to enjoy walking proximity to Republic Wakepark, which will be teeming with world-class athletes and fans of watersports come December 2011
• You get to enjoy walking proximity to the future 10-hectare mall of Nuvali
• and of course, you get to be part of Nuvali and enjoy the perks and benefits of green living in an eco-community in one of the country’s rapidly expanding regions.

Here are the monthly amortizations via bank financing for that P1.1M balance (payable one year from reservation date) using BDO’s factor table:

In effect, you can secure a nice corner lot facing Southeast and Southwest in Parkway Settings with an initial cash out of about P140,000 and a monthly of about P12,500 for 11 years, subject to loan repricing on year 6.  That’s about as easy on the pocket as it gets!  And you’re getting a great property in a great and emerging community with a great potential for increase in value.

Are there house and lot options in Parkway Settings?

Parkway Settings is a sequel to Avida Settings, so you will still see the three models of Settings:  Celena, Maia and Thea.

What’s new in APSN is the addition of Greenlane units, Jana and Anya:

Here’s an updated map of Avida Parkway Settings Nuvali (click to enlarge) with available units as of yesterday, October 12, 5pm.  I’ve colored in the “lot only” units (orange) for easier viewing.  Lots with X are taken (13 units so far).

If you are free this Sunday, I’d lke to invite you to the soft launch of Parkway Settings in Nuvali, from 9am-5pm. Special discounts and promos will be given on that day.

Of course if you already have a lot in mind, we don’t need to wait for Sunday to make a reservation.  :)

Email me at johanna@metrorealty.ph for updates and computations.  You may also call me at 0920-9624116 or 8060939.

Located in Nuvali South, Parkway Settings is Avida Land’s 4th community inside Nuvali.
