Trava: Raising the bar in urban planning and suburban living

With more and more residential enclaves sprouting across the country, property-seekers are looking for more than just fancy houses and luxury amenities like a well-equipped clubhouse. And with the imminent threat of climate change and global warming, property developers are answering the needs and demands of property seekers by creating residential communities that adhere to the tenets of 21st-century sustainable living. That means more open spaces, more pockets of greeneries, tree-lined roads, and more energy-efficient homes.

Greenfield City’s Trava, a 33-hectare premier residential development of Greenfield Deluxe in Santa Rosa, Laguna, is expected to be at the forefront of sustainable living, thanks to excellent urban planning that includes having underground cables for its power utilities. Trees will instead replace electrical posts, making the residential enclave not just more environment-friendly but creating a more aesthetically pleasing surrounding.

Not just visual aesthetics but sustainability and efficiency

Trava’s master-planned community isn’t just about having visual aesthetics but ensuring that energy efficiency is maintained among the households in its ecosystem. By placing the cables of its power utilities underground, the Trava community can absorb more emergency power loads and benefits from having lower transmission losses and lower maintenance costs. It also means being less susceptible to the impacts of severe weather disturbances like super typhoons, which affects the country on a fairly regular basis.  Having its electrical cables underground also means that no electric field will be emitted. It can also be engineered in such a way that it would emit a lower magnetic field than an overhead line. Plus, it requires a relatively narrower band of land to install those cables.

Greenfield Deluxe, Trava’s developer, aims to preserve the laidback environment of Santa Rosa, dubbed as the “Lion City of the South,” by incorporating urban conveniences and modern amenities with an ecological design in a high-end luxurious residential development. About 45 percent of Trava’s 33-hectare prime land will be dedicated to open spaces and eco-efficient features. 

Exceptional urban planning

Trava’s eco-system will be efficiently integrated into Greenfield City’s 400-hectare self-sustaining network of residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational communities in Santa Rosa. Premium is placed on open spaces and nature, similar to how it’s like to live in an expansive natural park. It’s a refuge for those yearning for a refreshing shift in scenery and lifestyle outside the urban jungles of Metro Manila.

With Trava’s exceptional urban planning, its residents and those in nearby communities benefit from this long-term endeavor of social connectedness and vitality because the area is designed to be walkable and could be biked pleasurably and conveniently without having to worry about security concerns. It encourages greater physical activity that leads to a number of tremendous health benefits, as well as reduces the economic costs associated with time spent traveling on a motor vehicle. At Trava, green open spaces is a key resource that’s used to ensure sustainability is achieved. Under its urban planning framework, Trava anticipates the future by becoming better prepared today to positively impact the residential community and its vicinity.

Some of the unparalleled features and amenities of Trava include manicured landscaping, lush parks, a streetscape with four meter-wide lawns, and tree-lined roads, a legacy of Greenfield in its residential community projects. Trava also boasts of an ecologically designed clubhouse, a social hall, fitness gym, function and recreation rooms, children’s pavilion, a pool complex, adult and kiddie pools, dance studio, tennis court, basketball court, and bike and jogging lanes.

A suburban utopia 

Trava, according to Greenfield Deluxe, will showcase how having a sustainable lifestyle can be achieved in suburban living and improve one’s overall quality of life. It’s where luxury meets green living. Bigger lot areas that range from a little over 500 square meters to 750 square meters are allotted for each of the 315 saleable lots that are expected to be built in the 33-hectare premium residential enclave. 

Needless to say, Trava will provide its residents with a suburban utopia—especially for those who are yearning to escape the urban chaos of Metro Manila—no matter which day of the week.
