Sereneo in Nuvali by Alveo

October 3, 2024 | 9:00am

A central amenity park and park system are within a 200-meter radius from each lot, letting residents enjoy the lush open spaces.

Surround yourself with nature’s beauty in Alveo’s newest Nuvali community

MANILA, Philippines — The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reported that residential property prices witnessed a notable 12.9% increase in Q3 2023, signaling shifting preferences and growth potential for market expansion beyond Metro Manila.

Colliers highlighted that sustained regional growth averaging 7.8% from 2021 to 2022, supported by a substantial 15% share of overseas Filipino workers deployed in 2022, will contribute to residential uptake in Southern Luzon. The ongoing development of infrastructure and industrial expansions in the Cavite-Laguna-Batangas corridor also paves the region’s potential for future growth.

The Philippine real estate market also indicates a significant shift towards residential-leisure properties outside the National Capital Region. According to Santos-Knight Frank’s Philippine Real Estate Outlook 2024, 42% of residential units sold in Bulacan, Pampanga, Cavite, Laguna and Batangas in Q3 2023 were categorized as residential-leisure properties.

Calabarzon, which encompasses Nuvali in Laguna, stands out as one of the fastest-growing regions, with a GDP value of P3 trillion in 2023. The region’s economic vigor is evident with its significant contributions across various industries—the highest among all regions at 25%, according to Philippine Statistics Authority—making it a prime location for residential projects.

Embracing the residential-leisure trend

From 2007 to 2015, Alveo—Ayala Land’s upscale housing arm—opened five residential villages in Nuvali, namely, Treveia, Venare, Mirala, Lumira and Mondia. And now, as it unveils its sixth community, it offers yet another opportunity for home seekers looking for modern elegance amid nature’s tranquility—Sereneo, Nuvali’s new oasis.

Aptly derived from “serenity” and “neo,” which means “modern,” Sereneo spans 41 hectares at an elevation ranging from 199 to 224 meters above sea level—higher than the average elevation in Laguna.

The development promises residents a daily dose of relaxation: imagine waking up in the cool climate of nearby Tagaytay and being greeted by panoramic views of the expansive Laguna de Bay in the southeast and Mt. Makiling in the south, right at your balcony.

Nestled at the corner of Evoliving Parkway and West Diversity Avenue, Sereneo is flanked by Ayala Land Premier’s Riomonte and Alveo’s Mondia.

With a target turnover in 2028, Sereneo’s first phase consists of 415 lots with an average size of 275sqm within a 28-hectare area. Home seekers and investors are encouraged to take advantage of the pre-selling stage, which features a fresh inventory of 140 park-facing and 163 east-facing lots.

As you step out of your house, wide landscaped parks will restore your senses. A central amenity park and park system—covering five hectares—are within a 200-meter radius from each lot—letting residents enjoy the lush open spaces.

Then there’s the central amenity area, a vibrant community center with five multi-structure pavilions for neighborhood gatherings, celebrations and shared moments of friendship.

Central amenity lobby

The centerpiece is the elevated pool complex overlooking the sprawling three-hectare Central Park, which spans 770sqm, the largest among all Nuvali villages.

Children and families can bask in the sun at the play area and basketball court, or enjoy quiet reflection or lively conversation at the clubhouse and courtyard. Neighbors can come together for al fresco picnics and just enjoy the clear blue skies on this side of Laguna.

Life in Nuvali revolves around a strong sense of community and camaraderie, where residents enjoy a close-knit neighborhood and a spirit of togetherness.

Nature in harmony with urban development

Laguna holds one of the highest-traffic commercial destinations in Calabarzon. The province is a familiar destination for recreation and leisure, as well as festivities that balance cultural heritage and urbanization.

Nuvali, in particular, lets its residents and neighboring communities enjoy premier retail and leisure destinations such as Ayala Malls Solenad with over 400 stores, as well as Ayala’s two-tower Seda Hotel with its 406 rooms.

It also houses S&R Membership Shopping, Landers Superstore, a huge Uniqlo store, among other retail shops and restaurants.

For the sports-inclined, recreation centers in the vicinity include Camp N, Sta. Elena Golf Club, South Forbes Golf Club, Canlubang Golf and Country Club, The Country Club and the newly-opened Nuvali Driving Range.

A 31-hectare open recreational space, PlayPark, is also in the works—promising more bike trails, a driving range and a community park.

Unlike other townships, Nuvali offers an opportunity to live in harmony with nature without sacrificing urban convenience. Its commitment to sustainability is also evident in its eco-friendly infrastructure and initiatives aimed at minimizing environmental impact.

Spanning 2,400 hectares across the cities of Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba, Nuvali is home to various residential villages and commercial districts under the Ayala umbrella, and partner institutions such as schools and universities.

It’s ideal for growing healthy families, with its wide selection of schools and universities in the area, such as Chang Kai Shek College—Southmont Campus, University of Sto. Tomas – Sta. Rosa Campus, Saint Scholastica’s College Westgrove, Brent International School Manila, Ateneo Graduate School of Business and De La Salle University – Laguna Campus.

Down South in Canlubang, Xavier School Nuvali, Everest Academy and Miriam College are located just across Sereneo.

Along with this latest residential development, new offices and business districts are also in the pipeline. These include the projected opening of the six-story Nuvali TechnoHub and the development of East Bloc and Central Bloc, with a combined area of 24 hectares.

Nuvali is a convenient drive to the Makati Central Business District, Bonifacio Global City and Ninoy Aquino International Airport via the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), but soon, a planned flyover connecting CALAX to Nuvali should further improve its connectivity to major access points.

Sereneo Nuvali’s groundbreaking last August 14

Last August 14, Sereneo Nuvali held its groundbreaking ceremony, marking a significant milestone by proceeding two months ahead of schedule.

As Nuvali continues to evolve, future Sereneo residents can look forward to even more opportunities for balanced and sustainable living, all without going far from the metro.

Efficiency, Function Define The Seasons Residences Lifestyle

It has proven to be well ahead of its time, bringing to life the “reimagined future of real estate.”

In this premier four-tower residential development that highlights efficiency, resiliency and sustainability amid a rapidly evolving landscape, Federal Land brings to the fore a pioneering home that goes beyond just providing four walls and cookie cutter features.

The Seasons Residences, set to rise in the heart of a progressive business district that is Bonifacio Global City, offers a beautiful, seamless play of precision, design efficiency and warm hospitality. This mixed-use complex, which will comprise of four upscale residential towers, exceptional amenities, and what will soon be one of the most impressively designed malls in the Philippines, is being built by Sunshine Fort North Bonifacio Realty Development Corp., a joint venture between GT Capital group’s property arm Federal Land Inc. and Japanese firms Nomura Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd.

Through ingenious Japanese innovations, The Seasons Residences is poised to elevate known standards of comfort, convenience and functionality of spaces, thus offering the most ideal lifestyle fit to meet new challenges, especially amid the ongoing pandemic.

Smart, functional

These innovations have become more crucial than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic compelled many to stay at home and carve new spaces for a multitude of activities, from work, study to leisure and wellness.

Having upended practically all facets of everyday life, the pandemic called, in particular, for a reimagining of spaces as you now need to have in your home an office, a study area, gym, a makeshift garden, even disinfection areas and smart storage spaces.

Effectively, every inch of your home will have to be maximized—a concept that Japanese designers and architects have long mastered as evident in their timeless, smart and functional home designs.

In fact, an article published in August by the World Economic Forum and Thomson Reuters Foundation, in expounding on how the pandemic could change home design, pointed out that “new designs are looking to make the most of space, while creating appropriate spaces for inhabitants”. It cited one company which is creating new designs that include a height-adjustable workspace that can be used variously by an adult working, a child playing or a teenager doing homework, and a storage area beneath and the option to conceal the desk behind moveable panels at the end of the day, among others.

The said prototypes, according to the article, “were in part inspired by Japanese apartments where every inch of space is utilized.”

Reimagined spaces

Such reimagined spaces have long been part of the blueprint of The Seasons Residences, which is bringing the Japanese standard on design efficiency to the country.

Especially relevant amid this pandemic is the provision for a disinfection area or a foyer called “Genkan,” in some units of The Seasons Residences to serve as a buffer between the clean living space and outside elements. Other units come with extra spaces or dens that can be easily converted into your home office or study area.

Meanwhile, air washing tiles in the residential units likewise help reduce harmful substances and odor in the air.

This highly coveted address in Taguig also features unique Japanese design elements that include a sunken slab, meant to securely conceal pipes and ensure water leakage protection, and a state-of-the-art rangehood that utilizes Japanese oil filter technology to efficiently capture smoke and odor, and which boasts of an advanced oil collecting system.

True to the Japanese penchant for efficiency, smart storage systems are another highlight of The Seasons Residences. Its space saving kitchen sink is multipurpose as it is equipped for cooking preparation, washing and draining, ensuring that your kitchen stays neat and clean. Kitchen cabinets are designed with generous compartments, while bedroom closets are equipped with flexible shelves that enable you to organize personal necessities according to needs and preferences.

Green initiatives

Sustainability also figures prominently in this newest enclave in BGC.

The Seasons Residences made mindful use of building materials with high Solar Reflectance Index values to reduce the heat island effect on the community, while its building insulation will improve thermal comfort. The use of double glazed e-glass for the structure can reduce heat by 30 percent, as well as your need for air conditioning; operable windows will allow fresh air to circulate inside the unit; and water-efficient, Japanese-branded shower toilets will help reduce your water consumption.

Also installed in the towers are Viscoelastic Coupling Dampers to increase building comfort, safety and resilience against strong winds and earthquakes, as well as motion lighting systems in select common areas of the towers that will ensure efficient use of resources.

Lush landscaped areas with indigenous softscape species, pocket gardens and other open spaces will further offer that much needed breathing spaces for its residents, while helping improve control of surface water run-off and recharging of groundwater reservoir.

Needless to say of course the oft-mentioned benefits of living at The Seasons Residences. Its highly strategic location places you in proximity to offices, business districts, commercial centers and leisure hubs, prestigious international schools, as well as key establishments and institutions.

Planned and ongoing infrastructure projects such as the Metro Manila Subway, BGC to Ortigas Link Road and Skytrain monorail from Fort Bonifacio to MRT Guadalupe and Makati will further boost its accessibility and may possibly raise land values within the vicinity.

Its sprawling expanse of indoor and outdoor amenities will meanwhile ensure your health and well-being—from its outdoor lounges, contemplation garden, pool, gym, yoga/dance studio, game room, reading room, music studio, to the wellness room and spa, whereas safety and security are ensured via a key card access system.

There is no doubt that The Seasons Residences has set a new global standard in the real estate industry, having created a model for a future-proof, resilient and sustainable community poised to withstand the test of time.

Premium developer brings high-end legacy to emerging South

Pointland — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 13:36:27 +0000

Tucked among the restaurants, bars and residential communities in Bel-Air, Makati City is an area brimming with much life through the occupants and families who frequent its high-rise buildings and the upscale Power Plant Mall.

The people behind Rockwell Center in Makati are looking forward to bring the same success to Rockwell South.

That’s exactly why Rockwell Center has become a staple in conversations when musing about the best retail and office spaces, the most coveted address and the most elegant places to lounge in the metro.

Perhaps these constant conversations across different generations are also the reason behind Rockwell Land Corp.’s latest move: the property giant is expanding to the South—in the developing province of Laguna.

“After creating a masterplanned community in our current 19.1-hectare Rockwell Center in Makati, we look forward to bring the same success to Rockwell South, set to be another flagship development in a much larger scale,” Rockwell Land president and CEO Nestor Padilla earlier said in a statement.

Rockwell South will offer premium lots ranging from 650 sqm to 1,000 sqm.

Set to rise in Canlubang, Calamba City is a 63-ha residential development seen as Rockwell Land’s biggest move to date. It is part of its joint venture with Carmelray Property Holdings Inc. and San Ramon Holdings Inc. as they bank on Calabarzon’s economic growth.

The companies saw as an opportunity the high demand for property developments amid the lack of available lots in the metro. Rockwell Land’s initiative to cover more ground outside Metro Manila comes at the right time, with homeowners and investors constantly looking for new space in an ideal and practical location.

Rockwell South will launch in the third quarter of 2019, with over 200 available lots ranging from 650-sqm to 1,000-sqm, and unrivaled amenities complementing the grand exterior—function rooms, recreational parks, multipurpose courts and wellness gardens.

Laguna has since become a premier property destination in the South, given the various opportunities made available by the government’s aggressive “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program. The current administration’s move of decentralization opened up new possibilities and options both for developers and investors.

Rockwell Center features some of the country’s most elegant retail and office spaces.

Tourist activities available in Laguna also make it a worthy environment for a new property, the most popular of which being Enchanted Kingdom, a 25-ha theme park in nearby city of Santa Rosa. Outdoor explorers have a variety of places to choose from: the cold springs and falls in Majayjay town, the hiking trails on Mt. Banahaw; or the famous Pagsanjan Falls.

History buffs can likewise enjoy the historic two-story Rizal Shrine in Calamba.

And while going on a road trip with family or friends is always an enjoyable experience, the security of having your own place in this developing city offers much benefits, which only proves that bringing Rockwell Land’s high-end legacy in Makati City to the suburbs in the South is a big yet intelligent move.
