The suburbs in the South of Metro Manila are increasingly becoming a preferred location for Filipino families desiring the traditional values of safe and secure yet unrestrained home living. Along with this comes the growth of the local economy, as more and more establishments are increasingly required to support the daily needs of these citizens.
Given this evolving business and commerce scene, Ayala Land―the country’s largest full-line real estate developer known for creating master planned townships and estates―has brought its expertise to the South and created a pioneering central business district (CBD) to serve as an anchor for progress in the area.
Evo City is a sprawling 200-hectare CBD situated in Kawit, Cavite that enjoys linkages with vital road infrastructure such as the Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Expressway (NAIAX). Providing its inhabitants unparalleled connectivity and synergy with other CBDs and city centers in the National Capital Region.
For instance, the NAIA is less than an hour away, while the traditional CBDs of Makati and Bonifacio Global City (BGC) are also less than an hour away. Meanwhile, the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) caters to commuters between Cavite and Metro Manila.
Accessibility is seen to even further increase with upcoming infrastructure projects such as the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), which will interconnect the two provinces and lead them to Evo City via the Kawit Interchange; as well as the C-5 Southlink Expressway and the South Extension of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) 1 bringing commuters from the Baclaran station in Parañaque City to Bacoor, Cavite.
Evo City is distinctly characterized by an orientation toward sustainability―with its interconnected network of parks and greenery, pedestrian-friendly road networks and dedicated bike lanes. Apart from aiming for energy and water efficiency throughout the district, Evo City will also be an “intelligent city” thanks to an integrated operations center that will make use of data and technology for more efficient daily operations and movement.
Most importantly, Evo City brings together all the best aspects and attributes of today’s estates to become a premier CBD through Ayala Land’s experience and expertise in developing master planned estates. A large part of this is creating a genuinely holistic environment with various components for live, work and play.
At Evo City, Park Plaza comprises the main component of the mixed-use master plan that also serves as the welcome experience to the estate, with a visitor center and transport terminal. It will also feature office buildings, an anchor Ayala Mall and socio-civic spaces such as a 2.6-hectare active park and a 1,000-seat church designed by Dominic Galicia Architects, serving as convergence points for the community.
It is also fitting that the pioneer developments within Evo City are spearheaded by Alveo―Ayala Land’s upscale brand that espouses the values of living well and working well. Alveo’s The Residences at Evo City form the heart of the estate as the most ideal place to call home, and it is already taking shape as residents begin moving in and taking root. The residential community complements the nearby sector of Alveo commercial lots where offices, commercial buildings and other establishments will rise.
With the burgeoning demand for commercial spaces in Evo City―its first phase almost sold out and currently turning over―Alveo is slated to launch the newest commercial phase this month. With parcels ranging from 650 to 3,000 square meters, both start-up and established businesses alike will surely find the perfect opportunity to set up shop and seize opportunities to be part of the massive change sweeping the South of Metro Manila.
Evo City is truly revolutionizing Cavite and establishing a solid foundation of local economic activity for a thriving future.
