A vision for Living Well in the South: Alveo’s latest portfolio in Laguna, Batangas, Cavite

The 15-minute city concept, while not an entirely novel idea, has gained significant traction in recent years. Offering a progressive yet practical approach, essential amenities, and services are within a safe and easy 15-minute walk, bike ride or commute to ensure convenience, accessibility, and sustainability in daily urban living.

Beyond its apparent benefits, this urban planning design, more importantly, brings back the focus on people by enhancing the livability of cities and neighborhoods. It reclaims urban spaces for people, and creates vibrant, walkable neighborhoods that encourage healthy lifestyles, support local economies, foster strong community ties, and reduce the environmental impact of commuting. It’s an approach meant to be adapted in any locale, encouraging the creation of new urban centers outside main cities to decentralize growth, reduce congestion, and distribute opportunities equitably.

At the same time, it also helps reclaim time that could have been lost to travel and traffic—time that could offer more opportunities for personal growth, social interaction, and a healthier work-life balance, ultimately contributing to a more fulfilling and holistic lifestyle.

Living Well

These basic principles that underpin the 15-minute city concept complement Alveo Land’s pursuit of creating communities where people can live well and work well.

For more than two decades now, this upscale residential arm of Ayala Land, has espoused the concept of living well through its portfolio of thoughtfully designed residences and masterplanned developments that enhance the quality of life.

Its communities, for example, provide ample lush open spaces, sustainable designs, security features, and upscale amenities that respond to the changing preferences of its buyers. The strategic locations of its properties—mostly within Ayala Land’s masterplanned estates—also place residents near essential establishments, fresh lifestyle concepts, leisure hubs, key institutions, and thriving business districts. Case in point are Alveo’s latest developments in the South, which exemplify such ethos of living well.

Refreshing urban living at Sereneo NUVALI

The 41-ha Sereneo presents a refreshing urban living experience, inspired by a sense of calm amid the bustling Nuvali estate in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Central to its design is a lush 3-ha central park and a 2-ha park system, ensuring that all 415 lots, which have a typical size of 275 sqm, are situated within a 200-meter radius of green spaces.

Sereneo Nuvali Pool and Social Pavilions

A standout feature here is its five-pavilion clubhouse. The Pool pavilion hosts an impressive 770-sqm pool complex, reputedly the largest among all neighborhoods in Nuvali. At the Social Pavilion, residents can enjoy amenities such as the social hall, basketball court, and kids’ play area.

Stepping out of this exclusive enclave, you’ll find yourself in the midst of a thriving hub that is either home to or near retail giants, medical facilities, prestigious schools, hotels and events places, religious institutions, golf courses, and premium offices.

This ensures that all essential services and leisure opportunities are within easy reach of Sereneo residents, making the living experience walkable, accessible and safe.

Vibrant lifestyle at Caleia Vermosa

Rising within the bustling 725-ha Vermosa estate in Cavite is the 28-ha Caleia by Alveo, —with lots having a typical size of 250 sqm.

Here, homes are surrounded by over 3-ha of open spaces, ensuring that residents will find themselves near the central park and amenities, including a Zen-inspired clubhouse, the 550-sqm pool complex, veranda pavilion and lounge. From the central park, they can take a stroll through a refreshing linear park which leads to a multi-purpose picnic grove.

Right outside this neighborhood are the active spaces, world-class sports facilities, prestigious schools and restaurants that make the Vermosa estate teem with life and opportunities. These enable residents and guests to engage in a vibrant and dynamic experience—all within the community.

Nurturing connections in Verdea Southmont

Set within the sprawling 800-ha Southmont estate in Silang, Cavite, Verdea is an intimate and nurturing community that will create the quintessential suburban experience—combining greenery and open spaces with an accessible location, along with modern amenities that foster community connections.

Against a breathtaking natural backdrop, Alveo designed Verdea to have 372 lots, with a typical size of 311 sqm, spread across an exclusive 25-ha expanse. It is connected by pedestrian-friendly roads which allow residents to be within walking distance to pocket parks, play areas, recreational paths, and other top tier amenities.

Southmont’s prime location meanwhile ensures accessibility, placing residents near business districts, establishments, leisure hubs, world-class golf courses, and institutions. Verdea is approximately a 15-minute drive from Nuvali in Laguna or Tagaytay City, given its proximity to major thoroughfares such as Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road, Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, and Cavite-Laguna Expressway.

Escaping to nature and leisure at South Palmgrove

At the 58.9-ha South Palmgrove in Lipa, Batangas, future residents can indulge in a holistic yet laidback lifestyle amid greenery, while still enjoying proximity to modern conveniences such as supermarkets, retail spaces, wellness centers, leisure developments and schools.

For its first residential development in Lipa, Alveo offers 1,100 lots with sizes ranging from 200 sqm to 499 sqm. This is complemented by 2-ha of amenities and open spaces, set against the majestic views of Mt. Maculot and Mt. Malarayat.

Alveo is also making the most out of the naturally cool climate here through mature trees and colorful blossoms that serve as a beautiful backdrop. Amenities include a clubhouse, mango orchard, fitness trail, multi-purpose lawn, pocket parks, picnic area, among others.
