30 years, 30 estates

Since its first development in Makati in the 1960s, Ayala Land (ALI) has consistently raised the bar in creating sustainable, integrated mixed-use estates. ALI has set the standards of excellence in real estate development in the Philippines from planning, construction, property management, and community building.

A steadfast commitment to overall national progress runs through ALI’s history, defining its corporate character and the way it develops land. Today, ALI is renowned for transforming entire districts into master-planned estates that are vibrant, future-proof and sustainable.

As ALI marks its 30th year as a publicly listed company, they celebrate their 30 mixed-use estates that deftly adapt and evolve with the times.

Building Communities that Work

Ayala Land has always aimed to build sustainable communities that uplift lives. This vision has inspired the company to pioneer the development of mixed-use estates that are economically prosperous, socially responsive and environmentally sensitive.

To ensure inclusive and holistic growth for more Filipinos, Ayala Land continues to replicate the success of its Makati, BGC, Nuvali, Cebu and Alabang estates in other key locations across the Philippines. All new estates are carefully chosen for their strategic location and market potential in leading cities and emerging growth centers. They also offer a balance of uses in well-defined zones that cater to a diverse market base.

In addition, ALI’s estates offer a pedestrian-and-transit network of public works that are carefully designed to facilitate ease of movement and encourage walking and commuting. They are technology-enabled and fiber-optic ready to meet the requirements of global locators in today’s highly digital economy.

Enabling communities to thrive

Valuable community-centric facilities and engaging civic spaces give a distinctive character to ALI’s estates. In every development, Ayala Land has opened up green spaces, created cultural destinations, and allocated land for social congregations and top-school campuses.

The Asian Institute of Management and Ayala Museum in Makati, the Mind Museum in BGC, the Vermosa Sports Hub in Cavite, the country club in Alviera, the upcoming Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Circuit Makati, and the UP and Ateneo satellite campuses in Makati, Quezon City and Cebu are just some of the historically and culturally significant civic and educational landmarks in these estates.

These serve as essential building blocks that give places and spaces their enduring strength of spirit and character. All these are testaments to Ayala Land’s ability to create distinctive spaces that inspire the best in communities to work together and lead better lives.

Transforming and adapting for the environment

Nurturing the capacity to build long-term, these communities are designed and planned in ways that also serve environmental causes.

Through its commitment towards sustainable and responsible estate development, the company constantly creates platforms to achieve its economic and environmental goals simultaneously in material ways. The generous proportion of green, safe spaces for ease of movement — especially during calamities and emergencies — is a vital feature of the estates. In addition, ALI prioritizes the use of native trees and plants to strengthen the estates’ resiliency against strong typhoons and flooding. These features are enhanced by the green building features of ALI’s built properties, including its robust waste management system.

Appreciating in value towards a sustainable future

All these strong value propositions enable ALI properties to constantly appreciate in economic value despite the challenges of Philippine history, climate change, and the global economy. As a result, these developments mature into high-value districts that bring both profit and pride to their residents, workers, and business partners.

Today’s complex realities brought by the pandemic have only served to strengthen ALI’s strength of character and sustainability core. Building on all the established civic and sustainable features of its estates, ALI will continue to find different approaches to planning, constructing and managing properties that ably respond to the post-pandemic world.

From its well-balanced mixed-use features to its sizeable investments in socio-civic facilities and sustainable design and architecture, as well as adapting to the evolving consumer and market needs, Ayala Land is well-prepared to face tomorrow’s challenges head-on.
