Avida Parkway Settings Nuvali

Finally got to step on my lot in Parkway!

Everyday Life,

My lot in Parkway Settings Nuvali was due for turnover in October 2012 (it was the designated allowable date for building), but was told by Avida that there are some delays as the water and electrical structures for the community are not yet in place.  Engr. Jong said the lot itself is buildable if I want to start construction already, so I made arrangements to visit last week.

*The pics could be better, sorry. Taken by phone camera as my camera is in the shop for repairs.*

The Parkway gate is looking good!

Main road is wide and rolling, very nice drama everytime you enter the village.

Viewing deck is still in place.  Surrounding area is where the future clubhouse will be built.  Mt. Makiling in the distance.

These model units are slated for completion next month, December 2012.   Not so sure they\’ll make it but it\’s still a few weeks away.

First time to see my lot up close.. I bought this during the initial launch of APSN last October 2011 — can say I\’m happy with my choice!  Nice elevation, wide road frontage, and VERY WINDY area!

Here\’s another area in Sector A, across the Greenway.  Mom and Dad got this lot next to the pocket park, also turned out to be a great choice.  Laguna Bay in the background.

Really enjoyed my first visit to Parkway in its developed state… Glad that the road network is already accessible, but more glad that the breeze and views are just so LOVELY.  🙂  The whole time I kept thinking, \”Sell my house in Settings and build a new one here!\”  Let\’s see. 🙂

Everyday Life,

Sector A is scheduled for turnover this month, October 2012, and so far there have been no announcements re delays. Last time I drove around the area, didn\’t seem likely to be ready by month\’s end. Will see. Also got a lot here so can\’t wait to step on it and claim it for house project#2 in Nuvali!

For those on the lookout for new house or lot only options in Nuvali, watch out for another Avida project…  no details yet, not even a timeframe for the launch, but it may be similar to Avida Settings in terms of size.

When Parkway was launched in October 2011, VAT-free lots were the first to go, and they really got sold out fast.  Message me at johanna@metrorealty.ph if you\’re interested in this new project so I can be sure to keep you in the loop.

How are Avida houses in Nuvali made?

Everyday Life, ,

Ever since I started building the house, I\’ve been more interested in different construction methods and techniques. I\’ve also documented, whenever I could, the way the different house models (Celena, Maia, Thea) were being constructed by Ayala subcontractors in Avida Settings Nuvali.

Thought to put them together here for everyone\’s benefit, also prompted by a recent exchange on the Skyscrapercity-Nuvali thread:

A slight turn to the left, and here\’s the view (towards the West).   That\’s the perimeter wall of Venare, with trees from the Green Zone already showing.

Any guesses what those two towers are at the rightmost peak?  How about that line of buildings in the middle of the mountain?  🙂
