Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) marked another milestone as it introduced Vermosa, its 3rd largest masterplanned estate in the country to date.

Considered as another growth center in the South, covering the districts of Dasmariñas and Imus in Cavite, ALI sees Vermosa as a chance to increase business activity that could create more jobs for more people. “We view this as way of becoming a strong partner of Cavite – one of the country’s most industrialized and fastest growing provinces,” said ALI President and CEO Bernard Vincent O. Dy. “Five years from now and even beyond, we believe Vermosa will thrive and offer the people of Cavite new options for an enhanced quality of life,” he added.

Vermosa is a 700-hectare integrated mixed-use development that is positioned to take advantage of robust prospects and stimulate growth in Metro South. Envisioned to be a modern suburban community, it will offer a balanced mix of various mixed-use components – a wide range of residential and retail options, offices, institutional developments, and entertainment centers, all integrated by garden zones, parks and civic spaces that encourage social interaction.

Vermosa will be highly accessible with the newly opened four-kilometer Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX), which connects Daanghari to South Luzon Expressway and shortens travel time to Cavite by 30 percent, making Vermosa 55 minutes away from Makati during peak hours. It will also be few minutes away from Manila with the upcoming Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX).

Apart from its proximity and accessibility, another distinct feature of Vermosa will be the Vermosa Sports and Lifestyle Complex (VSLC), to further ALI’s objective of enriching more lives by integrating a healthy and active lifestyle with everyday living.

VSLC will be the first of its kind in the country and will primarily cater to triathlon enthusiasts and other related sports such as marathon, swimming, and cycling. It will have an Olympic-size pool, a 400-meter track and field, and the most advanced and complete sports science laboratory in the country. It will also have the first purpose-built mountain bike skills track in the Philippines and a motocross track designed by one of the country’s top motocross athlete, Glenn Aguilar. And to complete its health and lifestyle amenities, Vermosa will have a 10,000-square meter retail center that will feature various sports shops as well as a wide array of healthy dining options. All these amenities will be managed by industry professionals and will be open to the public.

Aboitiz, Ayala Land, Megaworld, SM Prime form consortium for P123.8-B Lakeshore project bid

PRNEWS Leave a comment

Four of the biggest companies in the Philippines have formed a consortium to bid for the P123.8-billion Laguna Lakeshore Expressway and Dike Project (LLEDP).

Holding firm Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV), real estate giants Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), Megaworld Corporation (MEG) and SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPH) agreed to form Trident Infrastructure and Development Corporation (TIDC), and acting together, have formed a consortium in order to pre-qualify for the LLEDP and evaluate the feasibility of the project with the view of submitting a competitive bid proposal for what is considered to be the biggest public private partnership (PPP) project of the Aquino administration.

The project includes the construction of a 47-kilometer expressway and a 45-kilometer flood control dike, and the reclamation of around 700 hectares of land in the western part of Laguna Lake.

Dubbed as “Team Trident”, the consortium’s four members will each have an effective equal share of 25 percent. It combines the infrastructure expertise of the Aboitiz and Ayala groups as well as the reclamation and land development experience of Aboitiz, Ayala Land, Megaworld and SM.

The consortium also benefits from the combined financial muscle and the national and international network of experts that the four companies have, which will be able to benefit millions of Filipinos and thousands of businesses along the western shore of Laguna de Bay.

Trident brings together the expertise, experience, financial strength, and network that is needed to successfully execute a project the size and scale of LLEDP.
