A major new development is taking shape in Southern Luzon as Ayala Land (ALI) Inc. unveiled Metro Nuvali, a 200-hectare central business district in the heart of CALABARZON. It is planned as the South Luzon’’s new home for business, culture, and public life.
Set within Nuvali’s 2,500-hectare eco-community, the project aims to bring together workplaces, civic areas, open spaces, and modern transport links.
“Metro Nuvali embodies a new way to city—where commerce, civic spaces and sustainable living form together in a seamlessly connected environment by green corridors, dynamic plazas, and future-ready infrastructure,” ALI said.
Metro Nuvali’s plan is divided into three main districts. A reimagined destination for shopping, dining, and leisure will be anchored by Ayala Malls Nuvali, which is set to expand with nearly 50,000 square meters of new retail space by next year. This includes a new multi-level wing, wellness areas, and links to the lakeside, Seda Hotel, and future office buildings.
A 40-hectare central district will serve as the business and cultural hub. It will have new office towers, shared workspaces, and a three-hectare Central Park beside the East Bloc Garden. The goal is to create a lively place where work, creativity, and open spaces come together.
Civic District (60 hectares)
The civic district meanwhile will be the center for government and community services. It will feature the Santa Rosa Civic Complex, a two-hectare site with a Satellite City Hall, Convention Center, Hotel, and Command Center. The Nuvali Parish Church will also stand in this district as a community landmark. Located along the Casile–Tagaytay Road, it will serve as a new gateway linking Laguna with Cavite and Tagaytay.
All three districts will connect to the rest of Nuvali through road networks, public transport, and walkable green paths. According to the company, Metro Nuvali reflects “Ayala Land’s long-term vision for a sustainable southern metropolis — one that combines enterprise, nature, and community in perfect balance.”
Metro Nuvali will link directly to key areas of the larger estate, including Solenad, the 36-hectare sports and arts hub; Nuvali Commons, the social center; and South Nuvali, home to green neighborhoods and parks. Its reach will grow even more with the upcoming Carmona–Biñan Link Road, expected to be finished in 2028. This new road will connect the district to SLEX, CALAX, and the planned CTBEX, making the area easier to reach from different parts of the region.
For more than 15 years, Nuvali has helped shape sustainable living in Southern Luzon. Metro Nuvali is set to build on that progress and become CALABARZON’s next major business center. Ayala Land sees it as a strong opportunity for companies and individuals looking to grow in the South.
With its size, planned infrastructure, and long-term development approach, Metro Nuvali aims to lead the next wave of growth in the region.
