What do you love most about visiting an Ayala Land estate? Perhaps, you remember spending time with loved ones there, playing with children in an outdoor art installation or walking hand in hand in a lush garden. It could be those times that you dined in an al fresco restaurant in the area, enjoying good company, delectable food and exemplary ambience. Or maybe, you were most impressed by a friend’s condominium unit, with its spectacular view, green spaces and relaxing amenities.

Whatever the experience, a visit to an Ayala Land estate makes an imprint on most people’s minds. Ayala Land is often regarded as an expert in creating pleasant, holistic integrated communities. Time and time again, this seasoned developer has proven itself capable of creating breathtaking spaces that seamlessly mesh manmade structure with the natural environment.

What sets this developer apart from the rest?

HOLISTIC COMMUNITIES

Ayala Land is one of the pioneers of mixed-use estates in the Philippines.

Known for its initial works on the Makati central business district, Ayala Land became an independent developer in 1988. Since its inception, the group has helped make Makati the Philippines’ financial capital. Leisure malls such as Greenbelt and Circuit Makati are wellknown hangouts in the area. Several office buildings have been built by the group as well to house local and multinationclassic, al companies. Luxury residences have also been included in the CBD to cater to those wishing to live the ultimate urban lifestyle.

Linking these varied structures to major transportation hubs and routes, Ayala Land has created a holistic urban community in Makati City. The success of this major business center demonstrates Ayala Land’s capacity to create and innovate toward progress.

EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN

When we think of communities, our thoughts often go big scale. The roads, the public spaces, the overall atmosphere—these are the things that most of us consider important in our neighborhoods. It’s the small details, however, that actually endear places to us, whether big or small.

The sounds, sights and other sensory experiences of a place are what we often remember. These elements enable us to enjoy experiences and retain them in our memories. These experiences attest to the success of a design to appeal on a human scale, or simply put, from our point of view.

Ayala Land finds success by incorporating elements in their projects which encourage pleasant experiences. As an example, Nuvali, their ecocity project in Laguna, is well known for its features which cater to outdoor activities. A 35-kilometer mountain bike trail, picturesque lake and hiking trail are just some of the offerings one can visit in this sprawling estate. These spaces help establish Nuvali as the goto place for outdoor enthusiasts in the South of Manila.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Climate change is a serious problem that the world is facing today. Through various studies, it has been discovered that human actions are responsible for most of the damages that occurred in our environment.

Ayala Land recognizes this global phenomenon and works toward becoming part of the solution through its built projects. It strives to incorporate sustainable features in its various estates to combat the effects of climate change. Many of its projects include passive and active elements, which aim to minimize our impact on the natural environment.

In particular, its Cebu Park District promotes biking and walking with its wide avenues and sprawling greenery. The mixed-use estate also helps ease traffic in the area by locating office, residential and commercial facilities in close proximity to each other. Strategies such as these make Ayala Land a leader in sustainable design.

A PROVEN FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

Going back to our initial question, it seems that Ayala Land is distinctly successful because of its commitment to deliver quality design.

By putting the focus on people-centric, eco-friendly and future-proof developments, Ayala Land ensures the longevity of its estates. Whether you visit an Ayala estate to work, have fun or live your preferred lifestyle, you can be sure that the company has poured much effort into creating awesome experiences, leaving you only wanting more.
