In 1950’s – Ayala decided to make a landmark move and master-planned Makati . They sold Forbes Park at 7 Pesos / sqm , built institutions, entertainment and office spaces - now Makati is Considered the most prime real estate in the country, with Forbes Park as the most sought after luxury residential village.
Smaller developments followed like Ayala Alabang, Cebu Business Park, and Laguna Sta Rosa Area ( all successful developments ).
Now after 50 yrs, - Ayala Land is doing another major milestone in Philippine property history: a 1,600 hectare private flat property will be developed over the next 30 years to become the next NEW TOWN of the Philippines: NUVALI is the name that signals new beginnings. "Nova" Latin for birth of a star, and "Valley" a place for growth and abundance - where a fresh approach to balanced living emerges.
Unlike Makati, Ayala Land will have a freehand to develop this whole town including its traffic system, water, utilities, telecommunications, police, transport system, waste management , rules etc. It will be rooted on sustainability, recycling, energy renewal and conservation and Quality of Life
It will be a walkable community, public parks, lakes, Work Life Balance - Ayala’s involvement will not only involve the high end (Commercial Business District) CBD of this New Town, but will also do the master plan of the mid and low income property market thru CII and Avida ( imagine Ayala managing the CBD, Poblacion, Buendia, JP Rizal – as one private town ) NUVALI.
Nuvali, in the next 20 years will be a word synonymous with Quality of Life, Safety, Exclusivity, Comfort, Luxury and Peace of Mind. 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 Santo 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.
1st phase will include the development of the ABRIO village ( the new Forbes Park ). Ayala Land is 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.
