THE quality of suburban living goes several notches higher as Ayala Land Premier (ALP) introduces The Courtyards—the group’s latest suburban development in the Alabang-Cavite corridor. It is a 130-hectare project and a prime living space with relatively flat terrain with views of the Cavite lowlands as well as the Metro Manila skyline.
Jose Juan Jugo, head of Ayala Land Premier, said, “The project is the company’s latest blockbuster project that contains Ayala’s signature quality brand just like in its previous projects. The Courtyards is a manifestation of how Ayala develops the perfect suburban setting for the urbanite who is looking for an abode that can be either a second home or home,” he said in a recent press briefing held in Makati City.
The introduction of The Courtyards was warmly accepted by the market as it has sold over P3 billion five months after it was introduced in the market. Further, The Courtyards has boosted ALP’s status as the top developer in the areas since introducing Ayala Alabang in the early 1980s.
Further, Jugo said The Courtyards has been conceptualized to provide a family-oriented concept to the homes. “We have designed The Courtyards to be the ideal living space for ‘full nesters’—families with one or more children, or else couples that are planning to add more to their brood, as well as established families who wish to move into a more peaceful suburban setting,” said Jugo.
Buyers can have a variety of options when they buy at The Courtyards. Each lot is part of a cluster of six to eight lots enclaved in courtyards, essentially a cul-de-sac which allows for one-way traffic and has an island of greenery in the middle, ensuring privacy and tranquillity for the residents.
There are five types of lots: (1) Courtyard lots, which are lots fronting a courtyard, (2) Parklane lots, located along the main road and fronting a greenway; (3) Courtyard Park lots, those fronting courtyards which are connected to greenways; (4) Courtyard Park Premier lots, which are adjacent to a greenway; and (5) Courtyard Park Estate lots, adjacent to the main amenity core.
Courtyard lots are priced from P25,090 to P27,190 per sq m; Parklane lots at P28,240 to P30,340. Courtyard Park lots range from P31,390 to P33,910 per sq m. Courtyard Park Premier lots are at P34,540 to P37,690 and Courtyard Park Estate lots at P40,480 per sq m.
Lots are classified according to whether they are fronting a courtyard, adjacent to a greenway, a linear park running parallel to the main road, or their proximity to the main amenity core. The main amenity core is located near the main gate and includes a community center, playfield, swimming pool and a multipurpose court.
The Courtyards is accessible through two main thoroughfares. From the west, Emilio Aguinaldo Highway leads to Daang Hari and Jose Abad Santos, and from the east, South Luzon Expressway (Slex)-Alabang exit leads to Daang Hari. Soon, by the second quarter of 2015, the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway from Slex will be opened. This Slex exit shall connect Slex and Daang Hari, offering a more convenient route to The Courtyards.
Even if it is in a suburban setting, The Courtyards is very accessible to various recreational establishments such as The District malls in Imus and Dasmariñas, and Alabang Town Center. Nearby churches include Our Lady of the Pillar Cathedral in Imus, Saint James the Great in Alabang, Saint Jerome Emiliani and Saint Susana Parish at Alabang Town Center, and Saint Joseph Parish Church in Las Piñas. Educational institutions are also a quick drive away such as De La Salle Dasmariñas, De La Salle Health Sciences Institute, De La Salle Santiago-Zobel School, PAREF Southridge School, PAREF Woodridge School and San Beda College.
“ALP is committed to the vision that every family member is able to balance his or her lifestyle and flourish with the conveniences we offer at The Courtyards,” added Jugo.
“By 2016, residents can move into their homes at The Courtyards. Moreover, ALP will continue to look for potential sites around the country for future development.”
