Laguna Properties Holdings, Inc. (LPHI), Ayala Land’s wholly-owned mass housing arm, launched Aeropolis 2 last September 26, 2004. Situated along Boni Serrano Avenue in Quezon City, Aeropolis 2 is LPHI’s second affordable condominium project, a sequel to the well-received One Aeropolis in Sucat, Parañaque.

The first of five towers offered for sale 400 units, with sizes ranging from 20 to 49 square meters, priced at Php1.0 million to Php2.7 million per unit. Strategically-located near commercial centers, schools and major transport lines, the project will have a total of 2,000 units.

High market interest for Aeropolis 2 has been noted since sales launch. Meanwhile, One Aeropolis posted 98% and 60% take-up rates for the first and second towers, respectively.

thanks for the update thomasian. glad there are more affordable homes going up. rendering wise, it's not to bad. glad there are more construction going on in QC.

hmm... still sketchy over the design of this one. a bigger rendering would clear things up. but i don't expect it to be tall, considering QC's height limit. or is it not in the equation now?

there is a height limit in QC? how tall?

well i'm not sure if it is still in effect, but buildings aren't supposed to be taller than this thingy

How will they name Aeropolis towers when there are two sets of Aeropolis towers?
One is a cluster of 12 buildings while the other consists of 5 buildings.

Cool, it looks pretty good. And is it just me or is there a waterfall in the front entrance??:D Anyways, how tall is it?

thomasian
October 20th, 2004, 07:50 PM
It's a little over 20 storeys.
I think the two-toned paint of the tower looks very Megaworld-ish.

renell
October 22nd, 2004, 09:00 AM
20 storeys.. i counted over 30. i must be wrong then:D

yeah the two-toned paint doesn't look the best, but unlike Greenbelt Parkplace, it doesn't look like it was accidentally switched from this tone of this color to this tone of this color in the middle of painting

so buildings shouldn't be taller than the Quezon Memorial Monument... hmmm... but there is an on hold tower behind the Quezon City Hall.. hmmm... or is it only in effect to a specific radius from the monument...

Francis20
October 22nd, 2004, 01:07 PM
YES, that u/c has been there forever. It's about twice as tall as QC Hall.
By the way, Aeropolis would not be affected by this height restrictions. It will be located in New Manila...so its very far from the QC Memorial Circle.

Dvorak
October 22nd, 2004, 03:40 PM
so how tall is the Quezon Memorial? it doesn't look it's over 150m?

i also happen to realized that one aeropolis in sucta is actually a multicluster building within a gated fence with amneties like jogging path and swimming pool....

to be honest, this is my ideal kind of residence...it roughly the midway point between a condominium and a subdivision....i can't afford a subdivision within the proximity of manila (that would be very expensive by now...only for the super rich) and i feel that living in a condo would suffocate you as your safety and home is only limited inside that building....

usong uso ngayon yung multi cluster building...in greenhills-new manila area...there's like 4 already---aeropolis two, greenhills garden square, xavier hills, and valencia hills

Francis20
February 6th, 2005, 05:06 PM
yep...It's gonna be a 12-building cluster of similar or almost identical buildings. They're preselling the first tower right now. But agent i talked with said the other towers might not be solely for residential use. I've seen an ad of this project on one bus bound to Alabang...with Paulo Bediones on it (sp?)...supposedly a unit-owner of Aeropolis.

Don't forget the one beside Xavier Hills, Garden Island Square (although its only a two building cluster) and the on-hold Andrea North Condominiums beside Nestlé of which only one of the three towers has been built to date.

where exactly is aeropolis 2? 20 sqm for 1 million is cheap for its location.

bustero
February 7th, 2005, 03:22 PM
Aeropolis 2 is along Santolan basically at the back of San Juan Cemetera, very close to greenhills square the Empire East project on this road.

For your 1 million you can also consider cityland near ortigas on the secondary market, I understand their below 50t per square.

By the way depending on where you count as close in proximity, there are areas in Pasig, like Greenwoods along Sandoval Ave, near Mercedes which sell for only 3000 per square meter, the lots are small and manageable (200sq.m.) so you can get lots and slowly build an inexpensive small house bigger than the condo and get the living you want but still be closer than aeropolis to both Makati and Ortigas CBD.

Where will Aero2 be located, at the left or at the right of Greenhills Garden Square? Is it true that it will be a cluster of five buildings or just one?

February 24th, 2005, 10:11 AM
i like the other one better, we see so much blue nowadays....we need to have a little bit more contrast, especially when we look at the skyline, we already get a blue background from the sky....maybe be it will pop more if its a different color....i mean blue is not bad, but yes.... :)

renell
February 25th, 2005, 07:42 AM
they don't look bad, considering it's Ayala Land's mass housing branch (which btw is a terrific idea)

I don't mind which, or perhaps they could use both? :colgate: remember mass housing:D

February 25th, 2005, 08:40 AM
wow... this looks pretty good. and I just noticed they are planning to put up five towers. pretty big project...! I think both the red and blue schemes are okay. I wonder if they'll have five multi-colored buildings though... haha!

umm, what did Aeropolis 1 look like...?

Convenience and space

The Philippine STAR 04/01/2005

A space to mediate or just gaze at the stars are among the uncommon attractions offered by Aeropolis New Manila, a 1.2-hectare multi-tower residential condominium development of Laguna Properties Holdings Inc. (LPHI) in Quezon City.

A few minutes drive from the Greenhills and Cubao shopping centers and walking distance to the Edsa MRT line, Aeropolis New Manila not only offers location as an advantage but also space within the complex and in the individual units. It is LPHI’s newest condominium project following its successful entry last year into the mid-rise condominium market with the launch of One Aeropolis in Sucat, Parañaque.

At least 60 percent of the project’s land area is devoted to open space – way above the 30 percent open space required by law, according to Project Manager Chris Maglanoc. Common area amenities were designed by E.A. Aurelio and ADI Limited, landscape architects with projects in the Asian region as well as Toronto and Dubai. Suburban Living
Landscaping at the third-storey podium will make residents feel they are residing in the suburbs, says landscape architect Efren Aurelio. To create the suburban atmosphere, Aurelio created a footpath in the podium of the complex where residents can jog and enjoy the greenery. The space also includes sitting nooks enhanced by plants and architectural elements. It is creative use of space inspired by other developments in Hong Kong and Singapore where Aurelio honed his craft in landscape architecture.

"If you are tired from work, the podium is where you can sit down, relax and just hang loose," suggests Aurelio.

On another corner of the property on the ground level is the main activity area where the infinity edge swimming pool and plants create an oasis. A place for active play, the area also has a multipurpose hall and children’s playground. All designs, according to Maglanoc, have also been vetted by fengshui expert Joseph Chow.

Shying away from vibrant floral plants, Aeropolis’s landscape will focus on greenery of varying textures with flowers serving only as accents. "Greens provide a more restful, calming effect for urbanites," explains the landscape architect.

Aeropolis New Manila, which will have its groundbreaking on April 10, 2005. Model units are available for viewing. For more details, visit LPHI’s website at www.lphi.com. Or call 864-5744, 722-5480 and 722-5232. Value for money
Priced at about P1 million for the studio and P2.4 to 2.7 million for the two-bedroom units, Aeropolis New Manila residences offer a value-for-money proposition for professionals, businessmen, overseas workers, and singles, with its strategic location and environment-friendly features. Two adjacent studios can be merged as a two-bedroom unit.

Like other LPHI developments, Aeropolis will also be distinguished by the fact that its amenities will be maintained by Ayala Property Management Corporation (APMC), which has a long track record in maintaining residential condominiums and other properties. APMC will assure the constant delivery of water and ensure round-the-clock security.

In the future, the two towers near Bonny Serrano Avenue, will have commercial spaces on the ground level allocated for banks, Laundromats, beauty parlors, and convenience stores for the resident’s needs.

With Aeropolis, LPHI redefines condo living. "We want to show that the benefits of living in a condo at the heart of the city can also be merged with the benefits of having the space offered by the suburbs," Maglanoc says.

Aeropolis Sales Up
The Philippine STAR - 05/06/05

Aeropolis New Manila is nearing 50% take
up of its Tower 1 units after its launch
during the last quarter of 2004. A Zen
theme was adopted during the project
groundbreaking for Aeropolis New Manila
last April 10 and attended by LPHI
and local officials. This is in keeping with
the Zen-inspired landscaping and surroundings
of the multi-tower residential
condominium development near
Greenhills and Cubao shopping centers.
LPHI offers homes hovering in the P1
million to P2.5 million price range in its
Metro Manila residential condominiums
following its expansion in Southern and
Central Luzon and the Bicol region.

i think they have re-classified many portions of the city and started considering building structures taller than QMC. OMG, thats only 66 meters! Too short for a big promising city! Taller buildings in a parkland is better. and i hope they move out those poor people living in NGC. Why they even allowed provincianos to settle there. Stupid govt we have!

Good day :) I'm rather new in posting but i've been lurking around these parts for quite sometime now (an obvious skyscraper junkie!) I just want to announce that the tower 1 units are already ready for turnover! My best friend is one for the first four persons to get their turnover documents last September 1.

The interior layout is quite good. Not as cramped as most mid-income developments. After sales servicing is quite ok too. We are currently having the unit prepared for improvements.

Windows are quite big from the inside :) it makes the rooms quite airy. Will try to keep you all posted.

Cheers.

Not bad. Looks like future Avida developments will have a neon Avida sign on top of one the towers, just like the other infamous developer with it's name on top of it's buildings, and another neon sign that say's "In God We Trust" :D

Avida to complete 1,248 units in 2008 (http://philstar.com/index.php?Real%20Estate&p=49&type=2&sec=37&aid=2008111336)

Friday, November 14, 2008
Source: Philstar.com (http://philstar.com/index.php?Real%20Estate&p=49&type=2&sec=37&aid=2008111336)

Avida, the affordable housing arm of property giant Ayala Land, announced that it will complete and deliver as scheduled to unit owners a total of 1,248 units or four residential towers in 2008 in its four locations in Metro Manila.

According to Dez Cruz, Avida head for residential buildings, the company is committed to meet buyers’ expectations and turnover units to them as promised. She added that OFWs comprise 40 percent of its market and that a growing number of Filipinos working in Europe and the Middle East have been purchasing units as investments for their retirement.

“We have assured them and the rest of our clients that we will complete and deliver the seven residential towers that we have sold on time and on schedule,” she disclosed.

In the first half of the year, Avida sold approximately 40 units a month despite price increases to cover for hikes in construction materials, according to Cruz. Overall, Avida sales in the Middle East has remained strong and in the first nine months ended higher than last year’s figure.

Currently, OFWs, junior executives and entrepreneurs have moved into two of its four locations. These are Avida Towers Sucat and Avida Towers New Manila. Avida expects to turnover the first building of Avida Towers San Lazaro by the first quarter of 2009. Meanwhile, construction of Avida Towers Makati West is proceeding as scheduled. It will be completed by the end of 2010.

Ryan Ybanez, Avida project development officer, relates that they have noticed greater interest in active communities. “When other prospective homeowners see what it really feels like to live in an Avida Towers residential project, interest in the development tends to heighten,” he says.

Gen Y-ers are new condo owners
Philippine Star
December 12, 2008

Young employees between 25 to 40 and working in central business districts of Metro Manila have emerged as the new market of residential condominium dwellers, note officers of Avida Towers, the in-city residential condominium projects being developed by Ayala Land’s affordable housing subsidiary.

Known as Generation Y, individuals born from the late ’60s until the early ’80s are now experiencing growing purchasing power which permits them to start investing in their own homes — much earlier than did their parents.

Many of them are employed by the Outsourcing and Offshoring industry which is known to pay high wages.

According to Dez Cruz, Avida head for residential buildings, they are generally very focused on their careers and into social relationships, which define their current lifestyle.

A market study by Avida further reveals these young urbanites appreciate the central locations of the firm’s four condominium development sites since these allow them to have more time for their demanding jobs and personal passions. They are always on-the-go and constantly busy with a wide range of activities, the study further revealed. Avida Towers currently has four locations: Sucat, New Manila, Makati and San Lazaro in Manila.

“The busyness that characterizes their daily lives affirms their independent lifestyle. But various factors stand in the way of their maximizing their independence,” Cruz cited the study.

These include long commutes from home to office and work hours that most often go beyond the traditional 8-to-5 schedule. While most of them want to own their condo units and live independently from their parents whether or not they are married, the cost of a quality unit in good locations often hinders their plans.

Avida Towers offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, loft, penthouse and garden units in most locations. “These young urbanites tell us that living in a central location gives them better control of their lives,” reported Cruz.

July 11th, 2009, 09:43 AM
mukhang tahimik dito a... hmmm...

i'll post photos here as soon as i get back to the Philippines kasi i'm thinking of selling my loft-type unit.

For a start, these are the reasons why I chose to buy an Avida property.

1. Avida is owned by Ayala.

2. Why Ayala properties? This is why. All Ayala properties are maintained by their own Maintenance Co. Ayala ensures that the value of their real properties don't depreciate due to poor maintenance. If you find one deteriorating Ayala property, let me know.

3. The strategy of building the towers was designed to be financially beneficial to the investing owners. They were building the towers one at a time. When they built tower 1, units were 20-30% cheaper than when they built tower 2. They have already built and turned-over Tower 2 (this is where my unit is and it's value is 20% more than when I bought it during its construction), and the construction of Tower 3 is ongoing... and there are 2 more towers to go!

4. The location is superb! Gustong gusto ko kasi "walking" distance lang to Cubao and Greenhills. "Walking" I mean 'yong "walk" ko... I really like long walks! Siguro, 20 - 30 mins walk to greenhills and the same distance din to Cubao. Not to mention, "greenhills" is the place where prestigious schools are located.

5. The design of the building.. naaaapaka aliwalas! I was there last February during the turnover and the air along its jogging path made me lost for a while... akala ko nasa probinsiya ako! Parang nasa probinsiya kasi sa likuran ang mga kapitbahay doon ay mga mayayaman at maraming puno ang place nila. Parang isang mamahaling village ata 'yong kapitbahay doon.

6. The unit itself! Very special ang unit na kinuha ko and I was very particular about it. Why? When you check in to any hotel, pag bukas mo ng pinto ng room mo, what do you see? Mababa ang ceiling -- you'll definitely feel cramped in! Unlike sa unit na pinili ko, when you open the door, you'll sense a command of space! It is a loft unit.

7. The view at the 19th Floor is facing west! Actually, one american with a pokpok looking wife(?) (he hehe sabi ng utol ko) really liked the place. nabili na sana kaya lang maarte 'yong pokpok, malayo ata kasi dun sa bahay ng kabit niya! wahahahah

Anyway, here's the cons:

1. The place is very small. I mean, very small for me with 6 children! but I think, very ideal for a. 46sqm

2. It is very expensive! I'm selling it for Php 4.4M cash -- sa Php4.4M na kukunin lahat ng expenses including commissions etc. kasi nga 'di ko matirhan.

3. It is unfurnished. May toilet naman at lababo sa kusina. One good thing about it is you were given the freedom to design it according to your preference. (A design idea has been given to me for free by my good friend who is working here as an interior designer. The idea was about increasing the floor area at the same time maintaining that command of space when you enter!)

Tower 1 is on the left and tower 2 is parallel to Tower 3 making Towers 1, 2 and 3 on a "small" U-shaped formation... "small" kasi pag natapos na 'yong Tower 4 and Tower 5, magiging "capital" U-shape na ang formation nila.

hello superboy,

he hehe, nakakalula ba ang presyo?

actually, the unit is presently valued only at around Php3.6M - Php3.8M. pero may mga additional expenses pa like, commission, etc etc.

The bottom line is, aabot pa rin ng Php4.4M.

Kung halimbawa ikaw ang buyer, total cash out mo is Php4.4M included na doon lahat ng expenses like commission, fees, etc etc.

hi weed,

nope. wala po akong photos ng actual unit.

kase nung andun ako last february nasa final finishing touches pa daw 'yong unit ko sa 19th floor. ayaw ako bigyan ng access kasi may dala akong camera ('di daw maganda kunan 'yong ganung condition).

this coming first week of august, babalik ako ng 'pinas. papahiramin ako ng kaibigan ko rito ng wide-angle lense para naman daw magkaroon ng saysay ang pagso shoot ko ng interior. at the same time, susukatan ko in detail ang interior ng unit. kakailanganin daw ng interior designer 'yon.

anyway, there's nothing so special about the interior at this time. kasi nga "bare" unit siya. cr lang at lababo meron.

ang advantage lang ng mga bare units, marami siyang options para mabihisan.

sa after 2/3 weeks na lang at makakapag post na rin ako ng mga interior photos.

Avida offers deals to buyers (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=524876&publicationSubCategoryId=76)
(The Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=524876&publicationSubCategoryId=76)) Updated November 20, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - In addition to a choice of five residential condominium communities in Metro Manila alone and a range of residential subdivisions in six provinces, Avida, the affordable housing arm of Ayala Land, recently launched a promotion offering its biggest discounts thus far to buyers.

According to Tess Tatco, Avida marketing manager, “We want our buyers to enjoy the opportunities made available by our ‘Be ahead, Avida na’ promo while they last.” Buyers who make reservations for a unit can get as much as P35,000 cash savings. Moreover, all Avida buyers up to Dec. 25 have the chance to win a Manila-Sydney-Manila trip for three including a two-night stay and $1,000 pocket money as first prize. The second prize is a Manila-Hongkong-Manila trip for two inclusive of accommodation for two nights.

Tatco explained that middle-class families usually think long-term when they finally purchase a dream home. “They prepare for it and are not spooked by downturns,” she says. Despite the economic slowdown of the past year, for instance, Avida reported steady sales from January onwards.

The Avida promotion, she explains, is also a way to give back to buyers who have generously supported the Avida brand. Meanwhile, balikbayans who reserve units are entitled to additional gift cheques from Ayala Malls and still another set of Ayala Malls gift cheques upon signing a contract to purchase a unit. They simply need to present their passports.

Avida expects its five residential condominium units in Metro Manila to continue enjoying good sales for the rest of the year. The newest of the projects is Avida Towers San Lorenzo in Makati which is a short walk away from the Makati Business District. Among its house and lots, it reported great buyer interest in Avida Settings Nuvali, the first community to rise in Nuvali, a 1,700 eco-community envisioned to be a regional growth center by Ayala Land and its subsidiaries.

Tatco discloses that Avida has products ranging from P1 million to P3.5 million. In addition to widening its products lines, it has also expanded its geographical reach. Avida has a community in Luzon as far north as Cabanatuan and as far south as Quezon province and Naga City.

Hi all,

I invested in Ayala's homestarter bonds last year. The bonds will mature in 3 years. By the time it matures, if you will buy a property in Ayala, there will be a discount. My question is what if I like to purchase an Avida unit now, is there a discount? Will the discount apply?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! As far as I know, since I'm working in Corporate Sales of Avida Land Corp. I think you should wait for the Maturity of your Bonds to be able to get the discounts. But don't worry, I will double check this to our head.

Yup, thats what I understand also. But I was hoping there might be another option even if the bonds hasnt matured yet. Thanks for the reply John.

You don't have to wait for your bonds to mature (after 36 monthly payments) before you can use them (and the bonus credit) to purchase an Ayala Land property. The bonus credit is computed as follows:

less than 13 monthly payments: 10% of your total principal payments so far
13 or more monthly payments: 10% of the total principal that you would have contributed for the entire 36 months

I had ALI Corp Sales schedule the termination of my Homestarter bonds after my Oct 2010 payment so I can complete the minimum number of payments needed to enjoy the 10% bonus credit (applied to monthly principal x 36 months).

I visited Avida New Manila last Sunday, observation ko lang is that the amenities area is a bit small for the 4 towers. And andun lang sya sa dulo, i think that was tower 1. I like the lobbies though and the hallways.

you may get 10% discount of the total value of your bond at the time that you will withdraw it, mature or not. you may then also use the funds from your withdrawn bond to pay for the unit you purchased.

the checks will be coming from ayala land and shall be directed to any of their developing arm - alp, alveo, avida. your agent shall pick-up the check at ali office.

hope this helps.

i'm renting here in Avida right now. so far I'm satisfied with how they maintain the place. several times a day nililinis ang garbage chute, every 2 months pinipinturahan ang elevator pag nadumihan or nagagasgas na...

Businessman dies in fall from Cubao condo :ohno:

By Julie M. Aurelio
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 16:24:00 12/25/2010

MANILA, Philippines—A businessman died on Christmas Day after he allegedly jumped from the condominium unit he shared with his wife in Cubao, Quezon City.

Reports reaching the Quezon City Police District identified the victim as Gerald Tigno, 31, a resident of Avida Towers in Barangay (village) Bagong Lipunan, Crame.

Case investigators from the QCPD’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit were, however, refused entry into the condominium building by security guards.

The victim’s mother, Dr. Rosario Tigno, reportedly signed a waiver refusing a police investigation into the case.

The family told police they were convinced that there was no foul play in the incident.

Reports reaching the Cubao police station revealed that Tigno died on the spot because of severe injuries to the head and body.

His body was found at the ground floor of the condominium building near the swimming pool.

A maintenance man of the Avida Tower, Bryan Jader, told police that he discovered the body at around 5:30 a.m. on Saturday.

QCPD-CIDU personnel were dispatched to the scene but were blocked by security personnel of the condominium building.

The security guards told police that the body had been taken from the scene without the presence and permission of the CIDU and the Scene of the Crime Operatives.

The victim’s mother later signed a waiver saying the family does not want the police to investigate Tigno’s death, leaving the police in the dark as to why and how the victim died.

Do Avida condo developments especially here in Metro Manila stand/will stand on leased lots only (good for 50 years) and therefore you can't have absolute/perpetual ownership when you buy a unit?

zandro888
May 3rd, 2011, 06:07 PM
Condo units are perpetually owned. They are not standing on leased lots as the developer needs to deliver a clean title. And the lots used as common areas are registered under the condominium corporation. So after 50 years and the condo still stands, its is still yours and can be sold or given as estate to your heirs. If the condo is destroyed by an earthquake or fire, it can be voted upon by the members of the corporation to dissolve the said corp. and sell all that is left including the lot where the condo stands and all the owners will get a share equivalent to their unit size. Hope this helps..

Hello All,

Our unit will be turned over in 2 weeks time. It's in Avida Tower Makati West Tower 1. We are selling it once turnover. Any offer will be considered. We will also be able to assist you to contact a broker/agent that can help process bank financing/loan applications if necessary.

By the way, fully paid na rin yong unit namin, so malinis ang Certificate of Ownerhisp and the Ayala representative remains in touch with us so makakatulong sya sa process.

Please contact me if interested.

Regards,
Lorie

Question lang for the sellers here, are you selling because you don't need the unit anymore or is it because the prevailing price is giving you a profit? If it's for profit, how much is the % return on annualized basis considering that your units have been fully paid already. I just want to know if I could also sell mine at a decent profit later. Thanks.

I've seen this question several times already in other threads. The lots on which all condominiums stand on, regardless of developer, are owned by the condominium corporation in which each condo owner has a share proportional to his/her unit's floor area. The 50 years is the "life" of a corporation, again regardless of the developer and I think also renewable. This is my understanding as a condo unit owner based on the sale agreement etc.

Neither for me. I just need to free up some capital for potential business project. Although I will still likely be making a small profit after all costs are considered.

i passed by this recently and noticed that the small structure / factory beside it (popperoo) has already been demolished. there was word going around before that avida intends to buy the property and convert it to parking (or maybe more buildings) but only after completion of tower5. is this already a move by avida?

providing more slots would really improve the parking situation for everyone and could also become a good source of revenue for the developer (sell slots to unit owners, lease slots to tenants and weekenders, pay parking for the others). there are already some stores in the area plus a small funeral home right in front. given the size of the lot, maybe this can become small commercial facility similar to banilad town center in cebu or the one currently being set up along katipunan over at white plains?
