A Central Business District set to rise in the South

Property Report attended the launch of Metro Nuvali, where Ayala Land Inc. formally unveiled its vision for a full-scale central business district in the South.

Planned as a 200-hectare urban core within the Nuvali estate in Laguna, Metro Nuvali signals a new phase not just for the development, but for CALABARZON itself—positioning the region for its own center of enterprise, culture, and civic life beyond Metro Manila.

Long regarded as one of the country's pioneering eco-communities, Nuvali has spent more than a decade proving that growth and nature can move forward together. Metro Nuvali builds on that foundation, evolving the estate into a purpose-built CBD designed to support the region's expanding economy, growing talent base, and increasing demand for urban centers outside the capital.
