Alveo Land sees Tagaytay project sales done by 1Q

Alveo Land Corp., the mid- to upper-level property unit of Ayala Land Inc., has enjoyed brisk take-up for its maiden leisure development in Tagaytay and expects to sell out the first phase of the project early next year.

Jennylle Tupaz, head of project development for Alveo Land, said the real estate developer sold 150 units valued at P1.09 billion covering the first three of the six mid-rise buildings of Kasa Luntian in an exclusive priority selling event early this month.

The company offered 155 units of the 3.8-hectare leisure development worth P1.13 billion during the preselling event. To date, only three units are available for sale, Tupaz said.

Most of the buyers of the leisure project with a total sales value of P2.5 billion were families from Metro Manila.

"A lot of people have expressed interest for the next phase. We're hoping that by February it will be sold out as well," said Tupaz.

"We sold limited units and there is demand for an Ayala product in Tagaytay. They were really waiting for it," she added.

Because of robust take-up, Alveo Land has beefed up its land bank in the area with the acquisition of seven more hectares of land. It intends to purchase an additional three hectares to accommodate the future phases of Kasa Luntian.

Alveo Land will spend P1.5 billion to develop Kasa Luntian, which will offer 343 units to the market with prices ranging from P4.3 million to P15.1 million. More than half of the available units will be 39 to 41 square meter studio units and 55 to 57 square meter one-bedroom units. It also houses two-bedroom units at 85 square meters and three-bedroom units at 104 to 141 square meters.

The property developer will also set guidelines for leasing operations, allowing homebuyers to rent out their units when they are not in use.

Kasa Luntian will offer a treehouse, nature trails, and community lounges per building. Future residents can also take pleasure in exclusive outdoor amenities such as trellised walkways, herb gardens, coffee and citrus orchards, rain gardens, gazebos and a large, free-form pool with cascading leisure pools and Jacuzzis.

ALI shares rose to P15.40 each on Wednesday from P15.28 each on Tuesday.

Alveo to start P1.5-B Tagaytay project

ALVEO Land on Wednesday launched a P1.5-billion development project called Kasa Luntian in Tagaytay, signaling the entry of the Ayala Land Inc. subsidiary into the leisure market in the well-known tourist haven of southern Tagalog area.

Jennylle Tupaz, head of project development for Alveo Land, said the 3.8-hectare project received good responses from buyers as sales reached over P1 billion worth of reservations during the first days of priority selling held early December this year.

The first phase of Kasa Luntian has been practically sold out with 97 percent of the 100 percent of the units available bought by buyers. This means 150 out of the 155 units have been bought," said Tupaz during the briefing held at the Bonifacio Global City.

The sale of the 150 units was worth P1.2 billion. Total sales value of the project is P2.5 billion, according to Tupaz. Kasa Luntian is near the Tagaytay-Calamba and Tagaytay Ridge areas.

Tupaz said it took around 10 years for the company to select the right property for the project because it did not want to compromise the quality and specially the sustainability of the project. As a mandate from its parent company, Tupaz said Alveo Land is seriously pursuing and implementing sustainable development in all its projects and they wanted to ensure this will be pursued in the development of Kasa Luntian.

Gilbert Berba, innovation and design group head at Alveo Land, said Kasa Luntian will allocate 80 percent to open space and amenities to ensure the residents will have a very relaxed and effortless lifestyle. "Being a very low-density community, we want to ensure the indoor and outdoor spaces will fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the people," he said.

"For Kasa Luntian, we have to rethink and be different in developing Kasa Luntian because an urban environment is different from Tagaytay.

To give a maximum view of the environment, Berba said Alveo Land opted to build only six buildings with five to seven stories each. He added Alveo Land could easily build 20-story structures so they could attract buyers who want to see Taal Lake. "But we don't want that scenario because people from the lowers floor cant experience that," he said.

"Highlighting a blueprint that seamlessly weaves into its green environs, the 3-hectare first phase of Kasa Luntian will offer only six buildings with five to seven stories each. Each building will be inspired by distinctly Filipino architecture, making the property's façade well-suited to Tagaytay's lush and elevated topography," added Tupaz.

Berba said Kasa Luntian will also be promoting shared gatherings and family-oriented activities and provide facilities such a cozy treehouse, refreshing nature trails, and tranquil community lounges per building.

"Furthermore, future residents can also take pleasure in the serene setting heightened by Kasa Luntian's exclusive outdoor amenities. Among these are trellised walkways, herb gardens, coffee and citrus orchards, rain gardens, gazebos that dot its premises and a large, free-form pool with cascading leisure pools and Jacuzzis, at the center of the property," he said.

Why Condominiums Became Even More Popular Compared to Other Modern

Other than condominiums, there are also other modern types of housings that can offer the kind of benefit that made condominiums modern. But what are the reasons why condominiums became even more popular compared to these other types of modern housings?

Condominiums are some of the most popular types of modern housings in the Philippines. This is because of its many modern benefits that conform to the needs of many Filipinos in today’s modern lifestyles. However, other than condominiums, there are also other modern types of residential Philippines properties for sale that can offer the kind of benefit that made condominiums modern.

Other Modern Types of Housings

What made condominiums modern is because of its location, which is mostly in business and commercial districts such as Makati City. However, other than condominiums, there are also other types of residential Philippines properties for sale found in the same location such as apartment buildings and townhouses.

Both apartment buildings and townhouses have long been in the Philippine market before condominiums were introduced. So what are the reasons why condominiums became even more popular compared to renting an apartment unit or buying a townhouse unit?

Compared to Apartment Buildings

Apartments are some of the most flexible types of housings in the Philippines. These can be found in many places around the Philippines, from provinces to the outskirts, to residential districts and business and commercial districts. One of the most popular types of apartment is apartment buildings.

Apartment buildings became popular in the Philippines is because of its location, which are found in business districts, while maintaining its affordability which is because apartments are normally rented.

Condominiums, according to many real estate experts, are the only types of residential Philippines properties for sale in business and commercial districts that can offer amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, and a full-size sports complex for their residents.

Though much more expensive compared to apartments, many wealthy Filipinos chose to live in a condominium because of its permanence in residence, while maintaining its affordability compared to townhouses. Another advantage is that many condominiums today can now be bought and paid in installment, making it more cost-efficient compared to renting in an apartment unit.

Compared to Townhouses

In comparison to townhouses, condominiums are far more affordable. Another advantage of condominiums from townhouses is that condominiums are found in the heart of business and commercial districts, while townhouses are found around these business districts.

However, these types of housings are usually suitable for specific Filipinos such as company or corporate executives, high-wage earners, as well as businessmen and women. For Filipinos with a growing family, these types of modern housings may not be as suitable as other Filipinos have had. This is the reason why new types of condo in Philippines were introduced in the market which aims to offer Filipinos a modern housing for modern Filipino families.

Differences of Condominiums and Condominium Complexes

One major difference between condominiums and condominium complexes are its location. Condominiums are mostly found in the city, while condominium complexes are found around the outskirts of Metro Manila.

Because of its location, these types of housing can offer their residents a more family-oriented environment due to its seclusion from the noise and busy traffic of the city, allowing for more room for children to run and play.

In addition to that, another difference is that condominium complexes are mostly found in exclusive communities, which is similar to that of housing communities or subdivisions, or complexes. And that it is mostly comprised of several mid-rising and high-rising condominium buildings.

Another difference is with its collection of facilities. According to many experts, condominiums are the only types of residential Philippines properties for sale in business districts that can offer facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, and sports complexes.

Condominium complexes can also offer the same benefit that those types of condominiums can offer, but with the addition of facilities geared towards the needs of growing children, such as recreational parks and playgrounds.

Similarities

In addition to its type of ownership (housing tenure), condominiums and condominium complexes are also similar in terms of their maintenance and security personnel. Another is its similarities in its monthly dues, which are fees paid by unit owners for the maintenance of the whole condominium as well as wages of its personnel.

Popular Houses in the Philippines

Houses became popular and in-demand in the Philippines because of its many benefits which can accommodate the needs of growing Filipino families. Here are some popular reasons why:

Houses had gained a lot of popularity in the Philippines, according to many expert realtors. The reason why is because of the many new houses available in the country which can also offer a number of popular benefits which made these types of housings even more popular and in-demand in today’s modern trends.

Popular Benefits of New Houses

One reason that made houses in-demand in the market is because of its traditional benefits, such as the fact that many Filipinos still consider houses as the only type of housing suitable as a family-home.

Many new houses for sale in the Philippines are still known to offer this unique quality, but with additional benefits, such as its environment. One reason that made these new houses even more popular, according to many experts, is because of its location, in which most of these new houses are found in exclusive housing communities in the outskirts surrounding Metro Manila.

Because of the environment that these new house and land for sale can offer, houses became even more popular as a modern family-home for those who seek to live in a home where they can start and raise their own family in privacy and in security.

But other than the seclusion and exclusivity that these types of housings can offer to its residents, these new housing communities can also offer additional benefits such as its amenities.

Like many other types of modern housings in the Philippines, these new housing communities are also known for its collection of modern facilities, such as its own swimming pools, sports complex, recreational parks, and playgrounds.

These facilities made these new houses even more popular, according to many experts. But what made it even more in-demand is because of a new payment term that these housings can offer to its residents.

New Payment Term

Other than the fact that these new houses are also known for its affordability, many of these new houses can even offer a new payment scheme which made it even more popular and in-demand in the Philippine market. This is because these new houses for sale can now be bought and owned, while paying for it in installment.

With this new term of payment, houses became even more popular as a perfect family home for the average Filipino.

Benefits of a Simple House for a Simple Filipino

According to real estate experts, these are several benefits that houses can offer to its residents which are usually rare in other types of modern housings in the Philippines. So what are these benefits?

Although condominiums, apartment buildings, as well as a number of townhouses, had gained a lot of popularity for the past few years, typical types of houses found in residential districts still remained as one of the most in-demand types of residential real estate in the Philippines. This is also the reason why new house and land for sale kept growing in the Philippines.

But what are the reasons why houses still remained strong in its position as the most in-demand types of housing though its popularity had dramatically dropped over the past few years? According to real estate ph experts, these are several benefits that houses can offer to its residents which are usually rare in other types of modern housings in the Philippines. So what are these benefits?

Benefits of a Simple House

One of the most apparent reasons why houses are still in-demand is because of its affordability. Because not all Filipinos can afford to buy or to live in an expensive lifestyle known for condominiums and most townhouses, houses became the best alternative for many Filipinos. And this is the reason why the number of house and land for sale had significantly grown in today’s modern competition.

However, other than its affordability, there are also many reasons as to why these simple houses for sale are still popular for many Filipinos. One is that many these Filipinos still believe that houses are still the only types of housings appropriate for a growing family, even though other types of modern housings such as condominium complexes are also known to provide an environment suitable for a growing Filipino family.

Another reason why houses are still in-demand is because of its value for many Filipinos as an appropriate type of housing for an ancestral home, compared to a condominium unit or a townhouse. Most particularly when the house is built from ground-up from a unique design by its residents.

Other Major Advantages

There are also a number of reasons why houses are still in-demand in today’s modern competition, particularly now that the number of new house and land for sale are found in many housing communities around Metro Manila. One new advantage is its new term of payment.

Compared to other types of houses, most of these new houses for sale can be bought and paid in installment, making it more affordable compared to renting an apartment. Another advantage of these new houses, particularly those found in housing communities is its security, which is similar to that of condominium complexes.

Other than that, these housing communities are also known to offer their own amenities, such as swimming pools, parks, and playgrounds. However, the difference is that these new houses are far more affordable compared to makati condominiums.

Nestled near the Reposo Area (now referred to as Nicanor Garcia St.), future residents will appreciate the development's proximity to business and commercial establishments, complemented by quaint dining and cultural destinations, complementing the diversity of lifestyles that its residents lead.

The Lerato is also in close proximity to commercial, retail, educational and institutional landmarks such as Ayala Malls (Glorietta and Greenbelt), Makati Medical Center, Medical Plaza, Ateneo Graduate School, Mapua Institute of Technology, De La Salle Graduate School of Business, Assumption College, Colegio San Agustin, Makati Sports and Makati Golf.

Meanwhile, the importance to nurturing individual creativity and the need to pursue every artistic passion will also be apparent within the development itself. The 3-tower project will house a Meditation room to help everyone be in tune with their inner selves and in touch with their creativity; an AV/Theatre room for appreciation of the performing arts; Picnic/Barbeque area, jogging trail, and a Roof deck/garden to encourage convergence and bonding of a variety of cultures, characters and personalities.

Indeed, The Lerato(condo in Philippines) will be the perfect venue where urbanites will have a taste of cultural, social, and artistic refinement right in the center of Makati. "Simply put, The Lerato is for the new Makati resident," says Abando. "One that sees Makati not just as a corporate arena; but appreciates it as a new frontier that combines work and recreation."

Alveo Land, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI), introduces its distinct brand of urban innovation in Davao.

Ayala Land envisions a masterplan for the city that will embrace a refreshing integrated lifestyle; one where careful urban planning will seamlessly combine the best facets of living, business and leisure-thus making the most out of what this city has to offer.

Alveo Land Corp.-Ayala Land's benchmark for innovation-introduces a new residential concept-Abreeza Residences. Effortlessly weaving itself into the unique culture of Davaoeños and the city's budding metropolitan landscape, it has all the makings of becoming Davao's most desirable address.

"Abreeza Residences will be part of a P5-billion, 10-hectare mixed-use development that Ayala Land is developing in partnership with Davao-based Anflo Group of Companies (Anflocor)," said Anton Sanchez, division manager of Project Development for Alveo Land.

The formidable partnership between Ayala Land and Anflocor will be anchored through the formation of Accendo Commercial Corp., which will be the prime developer of Abreeza in Davao and all its integral mixed-use components. Accendo has specifically chosen Alveo Land to be the vehicle through which it will establish a unique and exclusive new residential component within Abreeza's integrated community.

The pioneer residential project in Abreeza is y masterplanned to offer an exclusive and prestigious cosmopolitan living experience that complements modern urban living in Davao.

"As Alveo Land's first foray into Davao, Abreeza Residences is set to embody our overall vision of defining a new residential ideal based on upscale integrated living. There's a conscious effort on our part to understand the nuances of the culture of discerning Davaoeños so that we can design and build what will quickly be Davao's most desirable address," Sanchez said.

Once it rises, the 26-storey development will be one of Davao's highest buildings to date. Its central location means denizens will be able to enjoy accessibility to the rising business, leisure and commercial establishments that will soon line Davao's first Ayala Land developed district. And inside, themed function rooms with a scenic veranda, a fully-equipped gym, a leisure pool with a scenic veranda and 24/7 Wi-Fi connections are just some of the exclusive amenities that will lend itself to the ease, convenience and prestige that one can expect from a signature address that promises to be the pinnacle of cosmopolitan living in Davao.

"It bears an entire blueprint that is geared to allow future residents to enjoy the merits of a luxurious and integrated lifestyle-everything from the building's design to its amenities to its location is intended to define itself as the city's most desirable address," Sanchez said.
