Vermosa has a projected daily foot traffic of 100,000.
Ease of connectivity is a given with Cavite’s proximity to Metro Manila, courtesy of major thoroughfares like the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway, South Luzon Expressway, and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway. As an example, Makati City is only about an hour away from Vermosa. Greater accessibility can also be expected, as provided by the access points in Daang Hari and Molino Highway.
As such, Vermosa stands as a landmark community where businesses are geared to grow and thrive. Offering prime commercial spaces in a key location, Vermosa ensures that the opportunities here will exceed the expectations of its locators and occupants.
