With lots averaging 305 square meters in size, Treveia boasts of the same modern-city-goes-back-to-nature thrust of the Nuvali project, launched in late 2007. Given its location (Sta. Rosa and the surrounding areas are the next upscale urban development after Makati and Alabang and they offer a really good investment for the future) and Ayala’s community development plan, Treveia is the ideal home for young urban achievers and upgraders who want the modern conveniences of the city, minus the pollution and congestion.

I got the impression that in this issue, the developers belonged to the enemy camp. Being exposed to real estate at a young age, my natural reaction was defensive: developers actually contribute a lot to growth and business in this country! My dad, on several occasions, has told me that here in the Philippines, it’s the private sector that often initiates development. Government won’t go out of its way to single out a piece of rawland, build roads and provisions for utilities, and then invite private groups to “develop” it for public consumption (ex. transform it into a business or residential district). It works the other way around. Add to that the red tape and bad business practices that are sure to turn off any lukewarm investor. Bottomline, you have to hand it to developers, or to some of them at least.

I remember when I first heard about Ayala land’s Nuvali in Canlubang, I was so floored by the (apparent) commitment the company had to responsible development. Told skeptical friends that it may be a given that not all sales pitches and plans of preselling projects are admirable (read: it’s still first and foremost a business, which I personally don’t see as necessarily a bad thing) or that most plans don’t actually pan out…but if there’s any company you can trust to stay true to their word, it’s Ayala.

Note: Parts of this post also appear on “Agrarian Reform” (April 2, 2008)

Treveia is a 60-hectare residential project within Nuvali, Canlubang, which is Ayala Land’s mega township project south of Metro Manila. The first and only development pushing for “green” and ultramodern living, it is one of the projects to which I’m 100% sold. Nuvali is a self-sustaining community with business, leisure and service centers (Xavier school, etc.), and it is envisioned to be the next Makati. Read why I’m so in love with this project here and here. Also visit our site for more information on Abrio, another residential community in Nuvali, primed to be the next Forbes Park.

The new section in Treveia, to be opened five months after the first lots in Phases 1A,B,& C were launched in October 2007, will be adjacent to the Central Park and, along with Phase 1E, will form part of the neighborhood under the “wood” theme.

Been attending project briefings for Ayalaland’s Nuvali project in Canlubang, and WOW, must say I’m amazed. This planned city, whose main access road is already visible from the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay road, will usher in a whole new era for our children and their children: ultra-modern with a spotlight on communal living and respect for the environment.

To say that this project is exciting is an understatement! Imagine a 21st century, “wired” community that is green by design — bike paths and pedestrian walkways all around, with easily accessible nature and water parks and energy-saving facilities. Add that it’s self-sustaining, with business centers and schools within a short distance from residential neighborhoods. It will espouse precisely the epitome of the modern lifestyle: progressive yet responsible.

The magic word is sustainability, offered by Nuvali in 3 fronts:

• Environment

Land will be divided into open spaces and low-mid density developments, using LEED-compliant buildings and infrastructure, including parks, lakes and even sewage systems (ex. bio-swales or vegetated canals). Note that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) equivalent for engineering and construction design.

Focus will be given to water conservation and reuse and waste management. Ayala has also partnered with WWF for help in eco-footprinting and GINI measurement, as well as in achieving a target of zero carbon emissions.

• Economy

Envisioned is a PEZA-accredited business and technology campus, with a retail center, business district, and social institutions like churches, schools, and hospitals. Connectivity will be provided by private transit systems, modern utilities (WIFI, WIMAX), and a revolutionary “green” work environment using alternative energy sources and eco-friendly structures such as green roofs.

• Social

With community-building as a key priority, gathering places like open parks, as well as civic and cultural activities will abound. There will be a range of housing options, with offerings from AyalaLand Premier (Abrio), CII (Treveia), and Avida (Avida Estates).

The project is seen to bring increased employment in the CALABARZON area and educational assistance to locals through Xavier school, which has already committed to 25% scholar enrollees. Also tapped as a partner is GILAS to help improve the area’s internet connectivity.

Nuvali is an ambitious undertaking that will take years of concerted effort to fully develop (it took the Makati Central Business District, built in the 1960s, over 40 years to grow into what it is today). The project buzz has just begun; best not to get left behind.

Call or email us for more information or updates, we’d love to hear from you.

Nuvali, which sounds like a “New Valley”, is Ayala Land’s latest project to build a new satellite city south of Manila, twice the area of Makati City. Located in Canlubang and covering over 1,600 hectares, the project has a timetable that will span the next 40 to 50 years. This new endeavor in land development will triumph evoliving, or the integration of nature and man in a harmonious living environment, and provide the much needed relief for the highly congested Metropolitan Manila with its 15 million inhabitants.

Nuvali represents a new lifestyle for the next generation global Pinoy! Metro Realty, accredited broker, invites YOU to invest in this future city, your future home!

Easily accessible from the now-expanding South Luzon Expressway, Nuvali is approximately 40 kilometers from Makati. It lies in the heart of the fast-growing Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay corridor, with schools and business parks such as the Laguna Technopark, St. Scholastica College, De La Salle University, University of Sto. Tomas, Xavier University, Don Bosco, the South Luzon Medical Center, Paseo de Sta. Rosa Commercial Center, Rustan’s and others. Nearby are the Sta. Elena, South Forbes and Canlubang Golf and Country Clubs, the “hot springs” of Los Banos, and the fine dining restaurants of cool mountain resort Tagaytay City.

Nuvali’s master plan includes residential communities, school, retail and business districts, and an integrated 8-hectare nature park and manmade lake complete with progressive water taxis and buses. Upcoming here is a new city with fresh lake breeze coming from Laguna de Bay, and plenty of water resources for the coming generations.

Abrio, the next Forbes Park

We are now pleased to offer Abrio, the maiden project of Ayala Land Premier in Nuvali. Situated at the edge of the future Business District of the South, this heart-shaped residential neighborhood is strategically located near the business campuses, retail centers, and lake of Nuvali.

The area to be opened for Abrio is 70 hectares, comprising 379 lots in total. Phase 1, with 113 lots, will be launched on Sept. 29, 2007, while Phases 2-3 will follow in a few months.

High level of privacy and exclusivity
• Building density is only 5 units per hectare!
• Large lot cuts are offered within a tight range (800 sq.m. to 1,200 sq.m.), to ensure homogeneity in the community.
• Vast spaces are provided between homes, as a result of:
o 16-meter carriageway for main road, plus an additional 4 meters for dedicated bicycle lanes
o 10-meter carriageways for arterial roads
o 7-9 meters of greens bounding both sides of all roads, excluding property line setbacks
o 2-meter-wide sidewalks canopied by 2 layers of trees

Environmentally-friendly infrastructure
• Roads will include generous bike paths and pedestrian walkways, to reduce dependence on the automobile
• Bio-swales direct the flow of rainwater for sustainable irrigation of common areas
• Dual-piping systems for all private lots allow the use of recycled water for specific purposes

Technologically advanced security systems
• Infrared-protected fences around the subdivision perimeter
• E-passes for entering and exiting the village
• Network of CCTV cameras monitor strategic areas in the neighborhood
• Emergency buttons in all homes
