Nuvali, Ayala Land’s latest development in the south, will soon be selling lots in the phase Santierra. With tree-lined roads and master-planned layouts, residents of Santierra will experience an orchestrated interplay between natural and suburban living. Aside from the pride of ownership that comes from owning a beautiful home from a premiere Ayala development, there are five other reasons why you should invest in Santierra Nuvali.

Natural urban refuge

Santierra is the perfect middle ground between urban and country living. Located right beside the residential district and future Nuvali commerical district, you’ll be located very close to shops and restaurants without giving up the natural beauty of the land. Most of Santierra will be wrapped around a contiguous park stretching over 5 kilometers, the longest of its kind among existing Ayala Land Premier communities.

Clustered neigborhood

The neighborhood is small, but seamless and private. Lots will be clustered in groups of 50 and 80 to control the traffic flow so vehicles can only pass within the immediate neighborhood, making life more serene and secure for the residents. With only seven residential lots per hectare, your home at Santierra will provide generous space while maintaining your privacy. Lot sizes range from 600 to 1200 sqm. with modal lot cut of about 700 sqm.

Perfect transition from urban boundaries

As mentioned earlier, residents of Santierra will experience an orchestrated interplay between natural and suburban living. Tree-lined roads will lead the perfect transition between future urban boundaries only minutes away, and exclusive private residences. Trees and plants lining the main road have different blooming seasons as well so that the scenery changes with the passing months. All the flora will be arranged in such a way that the owners will enjoy the views of lush greenery while keeping the clusters invisible from the main road.

Pedestrian and bicycle-oriented development

Living in Santierra will enable you to live a healthier, more eco-friendly lifestyle. All Santierra’s roads will have dedicated continuous circuit of walkways and bike lanes to encourage residents to walk, jog or use bicycles instead of cars within the village. Carriageways, sidewalks, and bike lanes will be canopied by trees to ensure walkers, joggers and bikers enjoy the outdoor experience. Ample safety measures such as warning signs, speed humps, handicap ramps, and sufficient street lighting will be in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

Integrated parks and open spaces

Aside from the contiguous parks that envelope the development, the village’s entire perimeter will be buffered from the outside by about ten-meter wide ribbons of greenery. Inter-connected pathways provide easy access to all points in the neighborhood.

3) Improvements outside the house are not part of financing. Consult Pag-Ibig before you pursue the construction.

4) Loans get rejected if part of the bills of materials were reduced (e.g. the flooring and ceiling were deleted) just so it will fit the loan granted for construction. Simply follow the bill of materials evaluated by the HDMF.

5) When borrowers who are separated from their spouse apply for the loan without the signature of the husband or wife, the loan will get rejected. The spouse or wife should present legal separation papers before Pag-Ibig can accept the loan application.
