Around Nuvali: updates as of October 2013

Life in Nuvali Philippines, , ,

It\’s been a while since I posted.  How are you, Nuvali friends?

Took the chance to visit the South over sem break last October 23, and was happy I got to drive around Nuvali for a bit.

The trees seemed taller along Nuvali Boulevard, but it was Mt. Makiling– ever so beautiful and reassuring–  that brought me back to the familiarity of Nuvali:  even after months of being away, it still was home.  🙂

Here\’s the Seda Hotel up close– I can count about 9 floors plus a penthouse.

Curious to know how the market would respond to a hotel in Nuvali. Mostly businessmen clientele, maybe?

The lake is still quieting and lovely–surely one of the everyday sights I miss.

\"Around

As early as May 2013, I already noticed diggings being done on the other side of the Evoliving Center, so it was nice to see the new lake now dug up and filled with water.

The new lake extends all the way to the office/commercial area, now paved and ready for businesses to come in:

There\’s also a new parking lot across the Evoliving Center.  Maybe built out of anticipated need?

Last September I saw posters about Green Installations around the lake– glad I got to see at least one sculpture on my visit.

I drove further in, towards Nuvali Central, and noticed road expansion along Nuvali Boulevard just after the rotonda guard:

I hope this finally addresses the flooding issue in this area.

Wanted to take a look at the site of the new Amaia mid-rise condominiums, so I turned right towards Xavier School Nuvali and drove all the way to the end.
\"Around

There\’s ongoing road construction at the end of that street, most likely the alternate road that will connect Nuvali Central and South to Solenad 2:

Based on this map dated July 2011, this road should be the Evoliving Parkway (Blue):
\"Nuvali

Here\’s the Amaia site, boarded up on the left, across Treveia.  Further ahead along the curving road is Xavier School.
\"Around

I saw that Xavier had 3-storey buildings, so I imagined having twice as high Amaia condos next to it (the plan is to put up a cluster of 4 to 6-storey residential buildings).

Personally I would\’ve preferred to have kept things more horizontal in this area, but I hear that the Amaia project is selling fast, so here\’s to having faith that Ayala\’s developing vision for this area works out.

In Nuvali South, the Venare gates are looking nice:

Mirala is also getting leveled and fenced in:

I was surprised to see very little development on the Miriam College Nuvali site, considering their target school opening is just a little over 6 months away in June 2014:

Wasn\’t able to take pictures of the Woodhill Settings project behind Venare, but also saw initial land development being done on site.

Could\’nt help but feel tight in that area though– Avida Village Cerise, Woodhill Settings, Parkway Settings and Venare converging in one area.   I\’m already anticipating the high volume of cars that will go in and out of Evoliving Parkway in the South (still the blue road on the map below) once residents start moving in.   Am glad that Parkway Settings has another gate along the main road (East Diversity Avenue) across Republic Wakepark as an alternative entry/exit point.

\"Nuvali

 

*    *     *

There is so much to be missed in the South.  The peace and quiet, wide open spaces, the slowing down that makes you just weed out things that matter less, and cherish those that matter more.

Haaaay.  To those of you who are enjoying this life everyday, a big congratulations to you! Do send us your happy vibes 🙂

Nuvali, stay clean and quiet and friendly please.

Venare Section J Launch today – a successful last hurrah

Everyday Life,

\"Venare

When we saw the tents from afar, we thought they occupied too big a space for the selling event today, but wow, we were surprised to be greeted by so many people so intent on buying in Venare!

Section J is the last section of Venare, and considered by many to be the best.

It should\’ve come as no surprise then that there was an overwhelming response to Alveo\’s call for Letters of Intent, officially announced last January 17, 2012.

We had clients who lined up as early as December, but we were also glad to have been able to help even those who submitted LOIs just before the deadline last Thursday.

\"Venare

The queue for bulk buyers or those who want to buy more than one lot (one expressed intent to buy 8!), reached past 26, and single buyers started getting their chance at lot selection past 1pm:

\"Venare

\"Venare

Mom and Dad tagged along as they\’ve never experienced a priority selling event before, and mom kept close guard of the map and lot availability as the day progressed.

\"Venare

Here\’s the aftermath, as of 3:15 pm February 5, 2012, with taken lots in pink:

\"Venare

There were still a number of people waiting in line after the priority selling, so I assume more lots would\’ve been taken before the day ended.

If you are interested in a lot in Venare, contact me johanna@metrorealty.ph or 0920-9624116 so I can give you a heads up on remaining inventory asap.

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?  🙂

Venare Phase 1 pics — it\’s looking great!

Life in Nuvali Philippines, ,

My brother Pete and I went around Nuvali today just to check out what\’s new — Venare is really looking good!

\"Venare,

That\’s the main gate for Phase 1 under construction, with the beginnings of the Green Zone already showing at the back.

\"Venare,

Here\’s a closer pic of the main gate.   It\’s a four-lane entrance, with two lanes already started.

I took another shot of the Green Zone last Saturday, from the road leading to Avida Village, and I was surprised to notice trees jutting out of the hills:

A windy day in Nuvali

Life in Nuvali Philippines

\"Nuvali
Got to visit Treveia and Venare last March 27 (Sunday), and it was so windy! Possibly the windiest I\’ve ever experienced in Nuvali!

I was standing on the viewing deck of Venare and had to hurry back inside the car because I was getting sand and dirt in my eyes from the blowing winds.

Oh land of the blowing winds, you will be home soon. Very exciting.

🙂
