A 5-Tower mass-housing development by LPHI (Laguna Properties Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Ayala Land) in Manila, similar in concept to One Aeropolis Sucat and Aeropolis New Manila ...to be launched 4Q05.

cool! wish developers build more mass housing.....the metropolis needs it bad!

It will be launched in December, there will be a total of 1,956 units for the 5 towers.
It will be located in San Lazaro Town Center, next to Celadon Residences which is the townhouse (202 units) component of ALI's San Lazaro project.

What does "mass housing" mean in this application? Do they have a target income group?

Or is this similar to Homes Along the Riles type of mass housing (but perhaps better)?

I really don't know how ALI defines "mass-housing".
But to give you an idea, some of their projects that they classify as mass-housing would be Aeropolis Sucat and Aeropolis New Manila.
Those two definitely are not like the Bliss-Housing-Projects that you see along the riles.

nice!

Any rendering?

None yet because they haven't really launched it.

wow, i'd like to see this! aeropolis, new manila was one of my choices for a condo unit but i decided to go with another development. ayala payments are still a bit steep for me.

high rise???

Yup, the high-rise component of ALI's San Lazaro project.

So this is part of San Lazaro?

Yup, behind SM City San Lazaro.

ty!

They just installed a billboard of this project at the Altura Overpass along Ramon Magsaysay Ave. in Manila.

It has a sort-of-rendering, well, an outline sketch of the buildings so you don't really see much details in the facade treatments. But I find the layout really nice and it seems taller than the two Aeropolis projects although I haven't really counted the floors in the billboard, it just seems taller to me.

I hope a real rendering would be released soon.

I would love to see what it would look like..

Maybe I can take a picture of the billboard.
I'm not promising anything but I'll try to take a pic. :)

i hope it is much beautiful than the 2 aeropolis

AVida land,inc. is the new name of lphi

i already have a brochure of this project, di ko lng alam kung san ko nalagay, my mom is an agent of ayala land and Laguna Properties Holdings Inc. they're giving brochures na nga offered to students here at UST, and very affordable talaga sya, pag umuwi ako sa min i'll try to ask some details about it.

well, mass housing means na housing project sya na kaya ng mga tao, meaning affordable sya... it is one of the social factor when it comes to residential buildings, there's this high-end, ung talagang expensive. then, medium, ung middle lng, and yun nga mass housing, less expensive. mostly pag mass housing mababa lng ang monthly rate nila depende sa unit, i remember sa brochure nito na "you can pay for as low as 10,000 a month".

about sa structure, i saw the drawing na and ok naman sya para ring aeropolis ang dating, tapos ung roof deck nya my mga drying area...

is this project right on the horse racing track?

looks nice, reminds me of the columns 2. i am glad they are starting to build condos that caters to middle class...now they should offer nice loan packages so more and more middle class could afford these homes and we should see a lot of more highrise in MM...

question is.. magkano ang units.. sabi eh no down.. zero interest din..

well, i guess it is, it's near sm san lazaro, where the san lazaro racing track was before.

question is.. magkano ang units.. sabi eh no down.. zero interest din..

lam ko as in mura lng sya, hanapin ko ung flyers na nakuha ko, then i'll post it here.

well MM is slowly being invaded by commie blocks, even though they're not downright low-cost buildings and a bit more colorful, it is slowly coming;)

Mass Housing is a term used by Avida (formerly LPHI) to describe their market segmentation within the Ayala Group... This is used interchangeabley with "Mid-Market" or "Mid-cost".

Units in this market (where Avida has jurisdiction) will range from P700,000 to P4M)


"High-Mid" (Higher bracket, Middle Incone) or "Low-High" (Low Bracket, High Income) is the term used by Community Innovations (developers of Celadon, Serenda District 2 and Columns) to describe their Market.

Units in this market (where CII has jurisdiction) will range from P3.5M to P8M)


Yes, there is a slight "competition" within both subsidiaries in the P4M range... but this is where the bulk of their target market lies...

have you guys read the newspaper advertisement? lalagyan daw ng electric fence.....kasi naman depress area ang periphery nya kaya maraming squatters and possible akyat bahay....bet we'll be seeing soon in news article: akyat-bahay gang namatay sa electric fence.....hehe

^^ hahahha stig yun! hahaha that would teach them a lesson lol

overall, I think eventually the periphery real properties surrounding this mega block would eventually be buy up and redeveloped.....so it's a good thing for the city

Yeah, things like this will most likely increase the value of surrounding areas, so they will be developed faster. That's why Atienza is present during the launching of this project because he says that it supports his "Buhayin ang MayniLA" project.

can someone define the term 'commie block' for me? ive seen it mentioned a couple of times now, but not exactly sure what it means..

aaron is right, dinedevelop nga nila ung area sa san lazaro... dami na ring projects na ginagawa dyan sa san lazaro...

can someone define the term 'commie block' for me? ive seen it mentioned a couple of times now, but not exactly sure what it means..

hi!!! commie block is a standardised tower block often highrise apartment used for public housing.

hi ishtefh! thanks for the reply!

^^ your welcome!!

i've been checking this development.....im not familiar with its location and sorrounding areas though (curious lang)

^^ likod lng sya ng SM san lazaro...

Actually napaka interesting yung project na yan! Talagang maraming redevelopments surrounding SM San Lazaro. Pero sa tingin ko, marami kukuha dyan ay yung mga may kamaganak na nagaaral sa UST!

^^ one of the batchmate of my sister is into real estate and kasama ung mga ayala projects sa mga binebenta nila and also avida... and he went to our apartment last thursday night 9kase ng iinvest rin yun at binibentahan ate ko)... according to him sold out na pala ang tower 1 and avida towers and hindi pala nag aaccept ng pag ibig pag tinatayo pa lng, in house financing lng daw... and i was happy na dahil dito sa SSC nakakajoin na ko sa usapan na ganito, mismong sister ko pa nagsabi sa batchmate nya na "ayan, up-to-date sa mga u/c's dito" tapos ayun i ask rin about ung sa mga serendra and some RLC projects rin...

tapos ayun nga mostly prof from ust ang bumili sa avida towers for investments rin daw...

Property & Infrastructure
Community Innovations starts Celadon Residences San Lazaro

Artist’s perspective of the Celadon Residences

Community Innovations, Inc., an Ayala Land, Inc. subsidiary, recently launched its newest development, the Celadon Residences San Lazaro.

Celadon Residences San Lazaro is a 4.2-hectare village 20 minutes by car from Binondo. The project is along A. H. Lacson (formerly Gov. Forbes) in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

Designed to be an exclusive community, the project offers 200 Mediterranean-style townhouse units grouped in clusters.

Buyers may choose from three types, with floor areas ranging from 168 to 204 square meters, depending on their needs.

All townhouse unit types will have three bedrooms and pocket gardens on the ground floor that will allow homeowners the rare chance to bring in a piece of the outdoors. The added option of a guest room/home office affords the residents more space.

Hi. I'm quite new here. Any update on this project?

Avida Towers San Lazaro targets BPO workers in Manila



AVIDA Towers San Lazaro, a project of Ayala-owned Avida Land Corp., is targeting workers of business process outsourcing (BPO) firms that will be developed in the city of Manila.

In a statement, the company said the multi-tower residential condominium project will consist of two towers dedicated to BPO companies in the facility that will also be built by the Ayala group.

Avida is the affordable housing arm of Ayala Land, Inc.

"Once operational, the Ayala Land BPO towers are expected to attract some 13,000 employees, many of whom will be in need of housing," the statement said.

It also noted that housing facilities near other BPO zones in Metro Manila were usually taken up by call center agents and other BPO employees who are on night shift and prefer to live close to the workplace.

"With this scenario in mind, Avida Towers San Lazaro is also expected to corner the demand for more housing units and facilities," Avida said.

Avida recently topped off the first tower in the development. The tower will be completed by Dec. 28. Meanwhile, the second tower will have its top off in the fourth quarter of this year.

Construction of a third tower, the company said, would begin next month, while the fourth tower has been scheduled for launching early next year.

Avida said the residential complex in San Lazaro — which makes up a portion of what used to be the San Lazaro racetrack has been selling units of "varying size and configurations" to professionals, entrepreneurs, and families.

Units for Tower 3, the company said, range from P1.28 million for a studio unit to P4.16 million for a two-bedroom unit loft unit.

"Tower 3 also has one level one- bedroom and two-bedroom units," the company said.

It added that sales at Avida San Lazaro "have been particularly brisk, owing much to its accessibility, affordability and build quality."

Avida also said that parent company Ayala Land announced plans to build a 3,000-square meter retail and commercial center in the development.

"The addition of office and retail space to the San Lazaro complex is likely to increase the overall attraction of the area," the statement said.

ALI President's Report (ALI Stockholders Meeting 2008)

Avida Towers San Lazaro targets BPO workers in Manila
AVIDA Towers San Lazaro, a project of Ayala-owned Avida Land Corp., is targeting workers of business process outsourcing (BPO) firms that will be developed in the city of Manila.

^^ i did not notice that avida is using the CII's Celadon master-plan to attract sales in their arm.. tsk. tsk. calling our marketing folks..


http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/1691/sanlazarozv5.jpg

ALI President's Report (ALI Stockholders Meeting 2008)

^^ this BPO building is already at 7th floor.. and will operate by the end of the year. the first two floor of which will house an ayala-managed mall/commercial complex with retail and resto areas...

^^ I noticed that from CII press materials that they call it commercial complex, retail complex, or something like that, and not "mall". If I remember it right, someone here said that SM bought the 4-ha. parcel of land from MJC with a clause in the contract that says no other mall will rise in the remaining 12-hectares of the complex. So I think calling it a "mall" may possibly lead to trouble even if it's just a small retail strip.

hindi mall to parang katulad at ng sa serendra na commercial establishment

^^ correct! it will actually be coined, "shops at celadon".. also the lot beside that BPO complex will have a commercial development/hotel development, spearheaded by manila jockey club.

on top of this, that area of celadon manila (CII not Avida) will hold a monthly bazaar to stimulate commerce in the community..

Any updates? latest pics on this project?

nice modern midrise

meron kaming biniling unit sa avida new manila. bali dalawang 1rm at isang 2rm. ang mura talaga kasi. pero hindi ko gusto yung flooring nila. at sobra silan istrikto lalo na sa reconstration ng unit.

^^ oh i see.. oo mura nga sa avida kaysa sa CII na celadon park.. pero mag-katabi lang yan.. mahal talaga ang CII project pero mukhang hotel/resort type naman yung amenities.. ung sa avida san lazaro kasi ang liit lang nung cuts, tapos isa lang ata ang pool.. tapos walang maid's room and laundry area for each unit.. pero at least for rental income it may command at least 10-15k a month..

Thanks :)

tiga rito ako sa blumentritt malapit lang ako sa avida at celedon maganda ang model unit nung dalawa.. ang pagkakaiba lang mas maliit ang cut ng avida kumpara sa celedon..

May Naobserbahan lang akO.. binalak ko kasing kumuha ng Unit ditO kaya lang... nung tinayO dito sa blumentritt ang SM San LazarO halos karamihan ng mga napupunta dito iisa lang ang napapansin dito madalas ay lumayanig ang mall parang lumilindol ang SM San LazarO.. minsan nga natanong namin sa mga Sales lady ng SM.. bakit ganun lumayanig ang SM hindi ba delikado yun. ang sagot ng sales lady natural na raw yun sanay na nga sila... sabi ng iba dahil daw sa malambot ang ilalim ng lupa kaya ganun..
paanO kung dumating ang isang Lindol na di inaasahan.. Hayz.. sayang naman

Ok sana tumira sa CondO ng Avida kaya lang kung laging yayanigin ka naman parang wag nalang... Para makaseguradO kau... kayO na po ang mismong mag obserba.. pumunta kaU sa SM San LazarO at Obserbahan nyO ang madals na pagyanig ng Mall.. kahit nasa loob o labas ka nitO.

I think we've settled that issue about SM San Lazaro before, in the Mall thread.

And besides, SM San Lazaro is a separate structure from Avida San Lazaro and Celadon Park, who cares if SM is shaking? But I do know what you're saying, naramdaman ko na yan dati dun sa SM.

^gateway din yumayanig sa tapat ng odyssey lol

SM San Lazaro is really shaking. The concern now is whether this is confined to the structural integrity of the building or due to the geologic profile of the area itself. If it is the later, theoretically, the ayala projects in san lazaro may also shake and considering they will rise higher than sm.:ohno:

even if the shaking is due to the geological profile of the former san lazaro race track, the solution is just a matter of good soft soil engineering.

naobserbahan ko lang naman yun... wala akong ibang ibig sabihin Simpleng Opinyon lang yun... malambot daw ang lupa sa sanlazarO... yun daw ang dahilan kung bakit yumayanig ito.. hindi lang naman ang sm ang ang sakop nito kundi ang buong san lazarO.. kung ang SM ay ilang floor lang paano pa kaya yung CondO..

Isipin nalang natin paano pa kaya kung may dumating na di sinasadyang lindol.. Safe kaya tumira ditO??? Kung ang mga High Building na may magandang PundasyOn minsan nasisisra parin ng lindol paano pa kaya itong Lugar na madalas yumayanig???

Isa pang ObserbasyOn ko ang Main entrance ng Celedon at Avida ay nasa Felix Huertas mapuntang Avenida... Try nYo maglakad lakad sa Avenida ng Gabi at madaling araw.. Obserbahan nyO kung gaanO kadilim at buong palibot ng San lazarO...

At Yung Lugar ng Dimasalang... Antipolo St... N Felix Huertas, Avenida, Blumentritt... at yung mismong Likod ng SM.. nagiging Dagat yan,.... kahit simpleng Ulan lang...

Binibigyan kulang ng Idea yung mga taOng gustong mag invest ng pera nila... Hindi naman lahat ng buyer ay may idea sa mismong lugar.. Maganda na yung makatulong keysa naman makabili na sila ng unit tapos malalaman nilang ganun pala yung place....

^^

i think the market of developments like this one (and also the likes of little baguio of Empire East) are people who actually once lived in the area. or familiar with the area. or has family or relatives living in the area. buying into to this would make them closer to their loved ones. IMO.

naobserbahan ko lang naman yun... wala akong ibang ibig sabihin Simpleng Opinyon lang yun... malambot daw ang lupa sa sanlazarO... yun daw ang dahilan kung bakit yumayanig ito.. hindi lang naman ang sm ang ang sakop nito kundi ang buong san lazarO.. kung ang SM ay ilang floor lang paano pa kaya yung CondO..

I think you don't have to worry about the soil, the foundation of the tower, and the safety. There are engineers who do that for you, including ways to counter them. As far as I know, even the softest of soils can support high-rises with the proper foundation. Other highrises use piles driven down up to the bedrock below, so even with an inadequate soil support, high rise buildings become stable. So in essence, it's like the tower is resting on stable strata, parang ganun, but you can ask a geotechnical civil engineer is you want more information to convince you. There are many other forms of foundations, I don't know which is used for this one, but surely, the people behind the project would know which to use. No need to unnecessarily warn other people and create unneeded fears, okay?

^^ ang blumentritt karamihan ay nasa Class C and D may mangilan ngilang Class B.. Ang TownHouse at Condo ng Ayala ay hindi naangkop sa Class C and D... at ang pagkakakaalam kO.. ang target market ng Ayala ay yung mga nasa BinondO... espicially yung mga nasa Chinatown.. kung mapupunta ka sa masangkay.. halos yung mga Poster n banner ng celedon naan dun....


Sa panahOn ngayOn magandang bigyan natin ng idea yung mga taong gustOng manirahan sa mga Condo nasa kanila na yun kung tanggap nila or ok ba sa kanila yung lugar ang sa akin nasabi ko yung ilang obserbasyon kO.. maganda ang pagkakagawa ng site na ito o nitong forum na ito.. nabibigyan ng idea ang lahat ng taOng gusto mag invest.. napagkukumpara nila ang bawat isa...

kung ang SM ay ilang floor lang paano pa kaya yung CondO..

Bakit ba kailangang i-compare ang isang 4-level structure sa isang high-rise? Stop it. They're different structures, separate structures, each with their own foundation. And if SM is shaking (and it really does based on my personal experience), then so be it, but that doesn't mean the condo will shake too, iba naman ang pagkakagawa sa isang building ano and it doesn't mean that it will use the same type of foundation used for the mall. You're fearing things you don't know much about, do some research, ask people who know, like engineers, let them enlighten you about the wonders of engineering and the techniques and methods that make for safe building construction. And please, stop underestimating the quality of construction that Filipinos can do.

Nakakainit lang talaga ng ulo kasi it's like this guy is saying na dahil malambot ang lupa dito eh sasabihin na nya agad na posibleng delikado ang itatayong skyscraper dito na ni hindi man lang kinokonsider ang expertise ng mga tao behind the project. Hinuhusgahan na agad nya ang kalidad ng isang structure at ang kakayahan ng mga tauhang nagdisenyo at gumagawa nito. He's not even familiar with how it was built so how can he say that it's possibly unsafe?!?!

^^ ang blumentritt karamihan ay nasa Class C and D may mangilan ngilang Class B..

^^

^^ i agree with thomasian. no need to create fear.

anyhow, people who buy into celadon and avida towers are definitely in the know of the flooding and the history of the area.. they know the risks of investing in such a place, since they vested millions.. they trust this ayala development can turn things around in this promising area.. what state you see this area in will not be the way it is 5 years from now.. research and see how ayala land transform landscapes.. just my opinion..

Guys, I have a business at SM San Lazaro. There's nothing to worry about. During the first few months they gave a memo re this. They said that SM San lazaro used the post tension design concept wherein slight movements or vibrations are its characteristics. This concept has been used in buildings, bridges, and flyovers.

Comment ko naman

Kahit malambot ang lupa its defend pa rin sa foundation usually in the philippines and other country they place deeper pilote/stock pile(i forgot the exact terms) to for the high rise building! halimbawa si shinji-02 ay ang Petronas Tower maniniwala ka ba na itinayo ito sa malambot na lupa!

I hope maging malinaw sa kasama natin yung example ko! Hindi dahil malambot ang lupa delikado na tayuan its defend on the technologies and techniques they use! ok

Look at the following pictures:

The above are pictures of the Malampaya Deep Water Gas to Power project of Shell that delivers gas from an off-shore gas field to three power plants near the city of Batangas. The project consists of an off-shore production platform, a 504 km subsea pipeline, and an on-shore gas treatment plant.

The offshore field contains recoverable natural gas reserves of some 2.7 trillion cubic feet and 85 million barrels of condensate. The gas is extracted from 2,200 meters below the seabed, which is at a water depth of 830 meters. This project to extract natural gas deposits from over 3,000 meters below sea level and transport this to a market over 500 kilometers away posed one of the greatest deep-water challenges in the world and required the use of the latest in gas technology and skills.

The topsides of the Malampaya field sits on a concrete gravity sub-structure (CGS) - the first to be constructed in the Philippines. In total, the CGS contains some 66,000t of concrete, 7,100t of reinforcing steel and 600t of pre-stressing steel strands. This CGS will be placed on a pre-prepared foundation to accommodate the unevenness of the seabed. This will involve placing 17,000t of rock, in 361 mounds, on the seabed. To allow access to the open sea, a channel 150m wide and 12m deep has been dredged. After installation, 3,000t of rock was placed around the corners of the CGS for scour protection and 75,000t of iron ore was placed in the open cells.

The initial operating weight of the topside is 13,000t. This equates to a loadout weight - excluding the transportation frame - of 10,000t and, as such, this will be the heaviest topside ever constructed by Sembawang Marine & Offshore Engineering (SMOE).

In short, this super structure which is located 80km off the coast of Palawan Island is an engineering marvel in the Philippines and shows how technology defies soil structure and the forces of nature....

But then again,

http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/analysis/compare/docs/taiwan_six.jpg

On September 21, 1999 an earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale shook the city of Taichung, Taiwan, killing 2,375 people. The epicenter was near Nanto, and 145 km south-southeast of Taipei. 3 The quake toppled 13,000 high-rise apartments.

My point is, even with the advancement of engineering discipline man can never be the master of nature. Engineers can only minimize its impact by modeling modern structures but in the end they will still be subjected to the test of time and natural laws. And these laws are the bases why there are no structure that was built to last and the fact that the Philippines lies in the Pacific Rim of Fire makes our country even more prone to earthquakes. And everytime we build a skyscraper we are altering the natural movement of our planet by controlling a certain area where this structure is being built. Basically, as with chemical reactions that follows Le Chatlier's Principle, "When stress is applied in a system in equilibrium, the system will shift in such a way as to relieve its effect." And this kind of shifting can also be observed in our physical world and its effect are sometimes devastating...

Sometimes we really have to think out-of-the-box and consider other people's point of view because there is no such thing as monopoly of knowledge. We cannot gang-up on one person just because he believes otherwise. In fact, I appreciate the one who raised the issue on soil structure because he exposes one of the weaknesses of this project which I hope was properly addressed by the developer. I think we better start doing a SWOT analysis on projects (that is Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat) to have a more objective perspective and scorecard. And that is how we do it in engineering project management.

Avida to complete 1,248 units in 2008 (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.

Malapit na ba yan SM?

tatawid ka lang sm san lazaro na

tatawid ka lang sm san lazaro na

Ayus pala eh, maganda kasi malapit sa mall or other establishment para convenient sa residente :cheers1:

^^ nakakatuwa pa nito... if the residents will do their grocery sa SM, they are allowed to take the shopping carts directly to their homes, tapos they will just give the bagger some tip. that's convenience.

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.

Newest residential condominium development is inspired by contemporary Asian design where the harmony on indoor and outdoor spaces is paramount.

Avida Towers comes with a gurantee of speedy completion, tight 24-hour security service and efficient maintenance services by Ayala Property Management Corporation, the same company that takes care of all Ayala Land developments.

Best of all, affordable prices make it a great buy!

Anybody seen this "drying cage"? How big is it? Is it proportional to the size of your unit? Smaller drying cages for studio types, and bigger ones for 2-br units?

Overall interior finishing is similar to 2 Serendra and the hallway look much nicer :ohno:

Up for this question :)

Any sales agent here?
Please PM me the details of 1bedroom and 2bedroom.
Thanks.

Hi Foxy,

Same size for Drying Cage, it doesn't matter if you purchased Studio, 1 BR or 2 BR. :)



How does it look like? Any picture or a description? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations for the successful open house last Saturday Aug 21! :bowtie:

wow, thats great.

An update,
Tower 4 now on it's finishing stage while Tower 5 has just started construction of it's ground floor.

Saw this inquiry from other Avida project forum....can anyone clear this up...

"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?"

pag ganun ibig sabihin ba after 50yrs wala na tayong right sa property natin since leased lots lang daw??? :uh:

Wow kelan kaya turn-over? :cheers:

1 bedroom for rent pls email for detail

This development is super dense!

This development is super dense!

I was hoping this and Celadon towers would add more commercial development in the area.

Commencement date of turn-over as per contract is 3rd quarter of this year. Agents boast of timely delivery by Ayala projects. It's the last month of the quarter, so let's see how Avida measures up against on-time finishers like DMCI (Illumina project for example). :popcorn:

hey guys, good day!!!
baka may gustong bumili ng isang unit ditosa avida,let me know.

How's Tower 5 now?
And, is there a phase-2 or could there be a new development on the adjacent lot on the right of that pic, between the current 5-tower Avida development and consuelo street?
It's still a pretty sizeable vacant lot at around 7,500 square meters.

My agent said it was going to be a site for a BPO, though no released concrete plans yet...

^^Thats good news then. this would turn out to be an even better investment option. But as of now, is this a good investment so far? For those who are already living here, what can you say of the rent take-up here? Marami bang nagrerent?
