Filipinos have frequently sought living spaces that promise peace and serenity. According to the 2Q 2024 Philippine Property Market Update by Lee Chiu Property Consultants, residential real estate loans outside Metro Manila posted a 2 percent increase, making properties outside the city more desirable. With the growing demand for properties in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Nuvali stands as part of the potential township hotspot in the South. It offers a blend of modern living, potential businesses, and recreational spaces, making it an ideal destination for investors who look forward to a thriving community.
Transitioning from a lifestyle characterized by constant movement and social interaction, people are now spending significantly more time at home making it the backbone of their lifestyle. However, life thrives and prosper when you reside in the heart of a community like Sereneo.
Sereneo embodies the epitome of serene living redefined in the country. Derived from the fusion of the word “serene,” which conveys a state of calmness, tranquility, and peacefulness, and “neo,” signifying “new” or “modern,” this marks the new residential project of Nuvali in Laguna, Ayala Land, (ALI’s) largest eco-city development in the Philippines, where the harmonious coexistence of people and nature thrives.
Serene living in the South
Its accessibility to modern amenities and upscale retail destinations make Sereneo ideal. The serene and modern ambiance of the place also allows the residents to enjoy the cooler temperature with a view. More than that, with Alveo Land’s track record and sold-out properties in Nuvali, Sereneo promises not only a peaceful and dynamic lifestyle but also various potential for significant capital appreciation over time.
Situated in Calamba, Laguna, this 41-hectare estate will elevate the Alveo community by offering refreshing and family-centric living spaces for its future residents. A testament to the success of its projects, the Sereneo location is a proven quality investment. Additionally, it is located beside Ayala Land Premier’s Riomonte, Cerilo, and Mondia developments.
Sereneo boasts generous parks and open spaces totaling five hectares, with three hectares dedicated to a sprawling central park and two hectare park system, generously laid out across the development. Additionally, the development features five multi-structure pavilions, centered around an elevated and expansive pool complex spanning 770 square meters, the largest among all Nuvali villages. This pool complex will have a lounge pool, a lap pool, and a kiddie pool, complemented by picturesque mountain views.
To complement a modern family lifestyle, amenities include a covered basketball court for sports, picnic grounds, a garden courtyard, and an outdoor kids' play area for community interaction. Jogging and bike trails, along with an outdoor workout area, to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Gateway to the metro
Traveling between Manila and Laguna has been progressively convenient due to the consistent and continuous infrastructure developments. The construction of major highways connecting the city and the province greatly reduced travel time, while improved public transportation provided frequent and reliable services.
Located in Nuvali, dubbed the thriving eco-city, Sereneo enjoys an accessibility advantage. Positioned as a highly accessible future city, it is seamlessly connected to major Metro Manila CBDs such as Makati and BGC via a wide range of choices including EDSA, C-5, or SLEX.
What's particularly beneficial is the array of infrastructure projects around Nuvali. One noteworthy project is the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), which significantly makes travel to and from Nuvali easier.
Sereneo stands as a 42-minute drive from Kawit, Cavite via CALAX and a 30-minute drive to Alabang via SLEX. Additionally, the estate is a mere 39 minutes away from Tagaytay via Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road and just 11 minutes from Broadfield via Laguna Boulevard. With such well-connected road networks, residents of Sereneo at Nuvali will enjoy convenient access to the metropolis, office buildings, medical facilities, and leisure centers.
Commuting will also not be a problem at Sereneo, as Nuvali hosts its transport terminal, offering point-to-point transportation to and from Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Circuit Makati, and Ayala Center.
To ensure the accessibility of the land, the estate must serve as a gateway to educational institutions. Situated within an upscale community across Nuvali, it offers — not just immediate, but exclusive — access to Xavier School Nuvali, Everest Academy Nuvali, and Miriam College Nuvali. This arrangement allows residents to access education without the need to travel to bustling metros.
With Healthway Qualimed Hospital nearby, Sereneo residents also have easy access to quality medical services. Fully equipped with 102 beds, this general hospital offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services, ensuring that residents' medical needs are met effectively.
Thriving trading hub
As Nuvali steadily evolves into a trading hub and the epicenter of commerce in the region, boasting establishments such as Seda Hotel, Ayala Malls Solenad, S&R Membership Shopping Center, Landers Superstore, Uniqlo, McDonald's, and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Sereneo residents have access to a wide array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Office developments have also persisted within Nuvali, exemplified by One and Two Evotech (ALI developments) as well as LHK South, a non-ALI nine-storey office building that opened in July 2023, providing employment opportunities for the community.
To capitalize on the growing tech market, ALI is constructing the Nuvali Technohub, a six-storey office building projected to open this year. This means that investing in Sereneo goes far beyond offering residential opportunities and provides business-to-business prospects. With its prime location, Sereneo is an optimal spot for enterprises to thrive.
Following the Ayala Land model, commercial and business districts are expected to flourish at Nuvali, with examples such as East Bloc Garden, Central Bloc, and MerryMart, all scheduled to open in 2024. Ayala Land's Nuvali aims to provide employment opportunities for thousands of Filipinos while also offering them the chance to elevate their lifestyles as they thrive in a world-class address.
Being a resident in this well-loved and thriving community makes you and your family live with tranquility, without cutting the access to business and leisure. Truly, living at Sereneo is anything but new and serene.
On August 14, 2024, Sereneo held its groundbreaking ceremony, two months ahead of its projected schedule. This significant milestone showcases ALI’s commitment to timely progress and efficient planning.
