Avida Residences the closest thing to hacienda living

AVIDA Residences’ sprawling open spaces and amenities is an ideal respite for urban dwellers.

Imagine living in a hacienda, or a large estate, with sprawling open spaces, rolling terrains, lush greens and trees bearing all sorts of fruits—not to mention that fresh gentle breeze that greets you every morning.

While this may be an ideal respite for the weary urban dwellers, it, however, does not come cheap. In fact, having that slice of the hacienda life can be as elusive and as expensive, considering the limited areas and spaces in the metro, and even in nearby provinces.

Or, it used to be, at least.

Ayala Land, through its subsidiary Avida Land Corp., is now giving potential homebuyers a chance to enjoy that “ideal respite” with its latest development, the Avida Residences Dasmariñas—the closest one can get to hacienda living.

Jonathan M. Fabrican, architect for the Interior and Design Group (IDG) at Avida Land, explains that Avida Residences Dasmariñas in Cavite is a 17-hectare community envisioned to promote an orchard living experience.

While most developers trumpet their modern amenities and high-tech facilities, Ayala Land always favors going back to basics and to nature with Avida Residences Dasmariñas, for one, highlighting its fruit-bearing trees—hundreds of them—planted within the entire area.

Fabrican explains that the idea to go for orchard living this time was based on the results of focus group discussions, which show that at the end of the day, people will still want a home where they can truly relax.

Homebuyers, he adds, would still want to live in a community where parents can play with their kids, and where the younger generation can experience what the parents have enjoyed back then—some of life’s simplest pleasures such as having picnics under the trees, picking fruits and just lounging and roaming on the terrains.

Fruit-bearing trees

AVIDA Residences’ sprawling open spaces and amenities is an ideal respite for urban dwellers.

“We planted fruit-bearing trees to relive that experience that we used to enjoy when we were still kids. It gives you a different kind of joy when you see fruit-bearing trees,” Fabrican claims, adding that such a setup can help foster solid and happy communities.

“Avida will do the planting and residents will just enjoy the idea of picking. There will be enough trees for residents especially in the amenity area. There will be hundreds of fruit-bearing trees in the entire development,” company officials explain.

This setup, officials add, can also help promote a healthy lifestyle among its residents as it will encourage them to engage in more physical activities within the community. Add to that, the hundreds of trees planted within the development will help clean the air as well.

Developed for early nesters, the Avida Residences Dasmariñas presents a modern Mediterranean theme. Buyers could choose from three different house units with floor areas ranging from 100 to 140 sq m and prices starting at P2.7 million.

Green recreational space

The development, which is accessible through the Manila-Cavite Toll expressway or Coastal Road up to Kawit and Noveleta, also boasts of 1.8 hectares of green recreational space, which is divided into three different zones: activity zone (clubhouse, social hall, swimming pool, basketball court and children’s play area); community zone (open field, play areas and green lawns); recreational space (green reserve).

If you’re still not convinced of moving in Avida Residences Dasmariñas, there are still a number of reasons why you should go for this latest offering from Ayala Land.

First, Avida is backed by one of the country’s oldest property developer, a trusted name in the industry—Ayala Land—which guarantees you that land titles are clean and  the house and lot come with a warranty.

Potential buyers are likewise assured that the development is “trouble free,” unlike in certain cases when other developers would not think twice of putting projects on hold—even if these are already midway the development stage—due to whatever reasons.

“You’re sure that the development won’t be canceled and that Ayala will deliver the product that they promised. Whether the economy is high or low in the Philippines or the world, we commit to the promise because we believe that it’s hard-earned money the people are investing,” Fabrican explains.

Getting best value for money

Avida homeowners will surely get their money’s worth as Fabrican stresses that they can be “sure to get the best of what you pay for.” The Avida brand will help the value of the property appreciate over time, he adds.

Aside from getting the best value for money, the Avida Residences can also boast of providing “real security” with guards set to efficiently monitor the area 24/7, as well as “peace of mind” as buyers are guaranteed that water and electricity supply would be working properly.

Potential homeowners are likewise assured that the development would be of top quality since Avida follows a strict guideline and certain restrictions to make sure that what it delivers is of excellent quality.

“We enforce design guidelines to make sure that the village would really look nice and beautiful. We have Ayala Property Management Corp. (APMC), which ensures that everything you need for the management of your village is provided,” officials conclude.
