Davao City, Philippines – Ayala Land is strengthening its foothold in Mindanao with the launch of Virendo, its first high-end horizontal residential development in Davao under Ayala Land Premier (ALP). Located in Toril, just 16 kilometers from the city center, the residential enclave is designed as an exclusive, low-density community within a master-planned, mixed-use estate.

Virendo takes its name from the Spanish words verde (green) and pausado (gentle/deliberate), a reflection of its vision as "an elevated verdant haven framed by Davao’s hills and shorelines." The development offers 150 spacious residential lots ranging from 450 to 1,803 square meters, set against rolling terrain with natural waterways and panoramic views of the Mt. Apo-Talomo range and Davao Gulf.

“With the launch of Virendo, we are introducing a new neighborhood that creates a vibrant community that embodies the heart of Davao. The design features expansive green spaces with carefully integrated waterways that flow throughout the development. Positioned between the Davao Gulf to the east and Apo-Talomo mountain range to the west, it offers unparalleled views of the horizon,” Mike Jugo, president of Ayala Land Premier said. “This development reflects our commitment to excellence and our deep appreciation for the unique culture and landscape of this remarkable city. We envision Virendo as a place where families can thrive, connections can flourish, and dreams can take root."

Residents will have access to two premium amenity centers designed for both relaxation and recreation. The Residents’ Lounge, located near the main entrance, offers indoor and outdoor spaces for intimate gatherings. At the highest point of the neighborhood, the Sports & Leisure Center features a social hall, pool complex, and multi-purpose court. The village’s amenities are designed by BAAD Studios, renowned for creating purposeful, experiential spaces that blend luxury with sustainability. The first phase of the 37.4-hectare development is set for turnover by the second quarter of 2029.

"Virendo is an important milestone for the Anflo Group as it not only marks another partnership with Ayala Land but is also located in an area that holds a special place in our hearts," said Ricardo R. Floirendo, Vice chairman, ANFLO Group of Companies. "With this new development, the legacy and spirit of our late founder, Don Antonio Floirendo, will continue to live on in Marapangi."

Expanding Ayala Land’s Footprint in Davao

Virendo marks ALP’s latest investment in Davao, further expanding its portfolio of high-end developments in the region. The company has already established key mixed-use estates in the city, including:

• Abreeza – A 10-hectare development that integrates commercial, residential, and office spaces. It is home to Abreeza Mall, Seda Abreeza Hotel, and Abreeza Corporate Center, making it a central business and lifestyle hub in Davao.
• Azuela Cove – A 25-hectare waterfront estate in Lanang, co-developed with the Alcantara Group. Known for The Residences at Azuela Cove, a luxury condominium development, Azuela Cove offers a seamless blend of high-end living, commercial establishments, and recreational spaces.

With Virendo, Ayala Land Premier extends its signature master-planned approach to Davao’s southern corridor, offering a residential retreat that combines exclusivity, modern conveniences, and the beauty of the natural landscape.
