The South Rises with Ayala Land’s Largest Estate Footprint Outside Metro Manila

Manila, Philippines — Southern Luzon is emerging as a major center of growth, and Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is reaping the returns of long-term investments in the region. Through four large-scale estates—Nuvali, Broadfield, Aéra, and Southmont—ALI has established a 4,500-hectare footprint that is now fueling the transformation of Laguna and Cavite into dynamic urban and economic hubs.

The combined scale and maturity of these estates, developed over the past two decades, are driving real estate, business, and infrastructure activity across CALABARZON. Ayala Land Estates, the company’s estate development arm, said the developments reflect a sustained strategy to expand beyond Metro Manila and capitalize on growing demand for integrated, future-ready communities.

Nuvali – Regional CBD of CALABARZON

At 2,400 hectares, Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna is ALI’s largest estate and the country’s first eco-city. A 200-hectare central business district anchors the estate, supported by Ayala Malls Nuvali, ongoing redevelopment of the Lakeside District, and the planned Santa Rosa Civic Complex. The estate also includes a medical complex under HealthwayQualiMed Hospital, 31 exclsuiveresidential communities, and top-tier schools such as Xavier, Miriam, and Everest.

Broadfield – First Business Campus in the South

Broadfield, a 63-hectare estate in Biñan, Laguna, is positioned as the South’s first business campus. Located right beside De La Salle Laguna Campus and Laguna Technopark, it promotes a walkable environment that seamlessly blends workspaces with learning spaces.Broadfield is very accessible through its main gateway along South Boulevard opening this 2025, CALAX, and the future Carmona-Binan extension road.

Aéra – Elevated Living in the South

The nearly 1,000-hectareAéra estate in Carmona, Cavite, in partnership with the Kuok Group, is ALI’s latest addition to its southern portfolio. It offers a mix of residentialand leisure components designed to cater to an increasingly mobile population seeking balanced, nature-integrated lifestyles close to Metro Manila.

Southmont – Everyday Living, Thoughtfully Planned

Southmont, developed in partnership with Cathay Land, spans Silang and Dasmariñas, Cavite. It features residential areas, a sports club, bike trails, and educational institutions like the upcoming Chang Kai Shek College campus. The estate targets families and professionals looking for modern suburban living with high investment potential.

Regional Strategy

The four estates form part of Ayala Land’s broader strategy to expand its footprint outside Metro Manila while supporting regional development through large-scale, mixed-use communities.

These are long-term investments designed to create economic value while meeting the evolving lifestyle and business needs of Southern Luzon’s population.

Southern Luzon, particularly Cavite and Laguna, continues to experience rapid growth, supported by major infrastructure projects and increasing investor interest. Ayala Land’s sustained presence is expected to contribute significantly to the region’s transformation into a fully developed growth corridor.

As demand shifts outward from Metro Manila, Ayala Land’s Southern Luzon estates are emerging as anchors for a broader decentralization of growth, strengthening CALABARZON’s position as the country’s next major urban frontier.
