Taste the Flavors and Passions of Life in the South with Alveo

 Uniqueness is a distinct quality shared by authentic Filipino-made dishes. The cuisines of the South showcase the innovation, vibrancy, and creativity of the Filipino culture, characteristics that are also the very same elements that typify the kind of southern living that Alveo Land offers—unique, innovative, vibrant, and creative.

Celebrating the diverse lifestyles offered by the Alveo communities in the South, celebrated dessert chef Jackie Laudico (Bistro Filipino, Bfast), gourmet culinarian Chef Roxs Cailao (Katré), and sublime restaurateur Chef Florabel Co (Felix, Crisostomo, Sumosam, Florabel’s) present Alveo Southside District’s “Southern Passions,” an event that let you taste—literally—the Alveo way of life and relish the experience of Southside Living as you discover the delights of true southern comfort.

Unique to this presentation is a thoughtfully prepared six-course meal that represented Alveo’s “Southern Passions” as interpreted by the lifestyle event’s keynote guest chefs. Chef Jackie Laudico, serves up a burst of flavor with tasty desserts and refreshing drinks inspired by Venare’s proposition of active living. Chef Roxs Cailao, on the other hand translates the warmth of family and community living in Verdana Homes Mamplasan with equally hearty soups and a comforting main course. And Chef Florabel Co-Yatco fashions healthy and nourishing salads and appetizers hinged on Treveia’s emphasis on eco-centric and sustainable modern lifestyles.


Distinct yet diverse living in the South

Whether it be an eco-centric neighborhood or a sports and leisure community for you and your family, the Alveo Southside District has the resources, amenities and facilities you need to enjoy the ideals that innovative residential living has to offer.

A one-hour drive from Manila to the ever-growing South Luzon region takes you to the dynamic and upscale communities of Verdana Homes Mamplasan, Treveia and Venare, which are three signature developments of Alveo Land’s Southside developments. Each of these three properties showcases a distinctive facet of southern living, and it is all anchored on a dynamic and unique living experience that highlights the developer's intent to give residents the chance to live well.
 
Family comes first in Verdana

The 42-hectare Verdana Homes Mamplasan community in Biñan, Laguna offers houses and lots that are perfect for those who want to combine the warmth, ease, and traditions of suburban living with modern-day facilities.  Verdana lets you enjoy family and community life to the fullest with a wide range of amenities that allow you to nurture relationships — mingle with friends and neighbors at the Social Hall, indulge in quality time with loved ones at the open playing fields and picnic areas, or go swimming with the kids during weekends. Already a thriving community, Verdana provides an endless array of activities for the growing number of families in the community to enjoy, while its strategic location makes it conveniently close to burgeoning growth centers.

Situated near premier commercial establishments such as Alabang Town Center, the Madrigal Business Park, Paseo De Sta. Rosa, and Laguna Technopark, as well as some of the country’s top schools like Brent School, Caritas Don Bosco, De La Salle University-Canlubang, and St. Scholastica’s College Westgrove, Verdana is indeed Alveo Land’s gateway to the south.

Living Sustainably in Treveia

Alveo also puts a premium on developing cutting-edge communities anchored on environmental sustainability--a proposition that became a reality in the country's first fully sustainable township of NUVALI with Treveia.

Hailed as the first large-scale residential development in the country built on the principles of modern, eco-centric design, Treveia boasts a wide range of facilities that revolutionize contemporary living amid lush greenery, landscaped parks, woodland groves, and themed gardens that promote environmental consciousness and care for nature. With a masterplan firmly based on eco-sensitivity, this made the concept of sustainable residential living accessible to families, which was very well received by the real estate market.

“Apart from addressing the needs of its residents, Treveia is designed to adhere to the tenets of sustainability as championed by the whole NUVALI development,” says Alveo Land Project Development Group Head Jennylle Tupaz, highlighting Alveo Land’s emphasis on environmental sustainability as a vital key to modern living. “Green principles are present in different facets of the development, making it a community that can be considered a benchmark for future developments.”


Active living in Venare

Inspired by the success that built Treveia, Venare –Alveo’s newest lifestyle community in NUVALI South– complements the needs of an active lifestyle while still allowing families to enjoy the pleasures of picturesque landscapes in a sustainable urban setting. Located in NUVALI South and just six kilometers from the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road, Venare boasts of five distinct thematic amenity zones that address one’s needs for a healthy, dynamic and vibrant living experience with the Aqua Zone, the E-Zone, the Green Zone, the Go Zone and the Me Zone.

"Alveo Land builds with our future residents in mind–their evolving needs, as well as the diversity of their interests. Anticipating this, we built a community that will specifically cater to this ideal and the development's consistently good take-up and excellent sales velocity shows how well the market is responding to dynamic innovations in real estate that answer their needs," says Tupaz.

 The distinct yet diverse lifestyle that residents enjoy at the Southside District highlights Alveo Land’s delivered promise of a relaxed, modern living environment that exists as one with the nature. And without a doubt, by being the benchmark for lifestyle innovation, Alveo Land will continue to hold the distinction of being the leading developer in the South.

 
Alveo Land Corp. sets the benchmark for innovation in Ayala Land. Armed with sharper foresight, unparalleled excellence and total commitment, Alveo Land Corp. is a real estate company that doesn't just find the means to provide the most innovative homes, it looks for ways to make you live the life you deserve.

Celebrating innovation with Greenwich’s Philippines’ Favorite Pizzas and New Pasta Supreme Meat Plates


The first quarter of 2011 isn’t even over, yet Greenwich, the most innovative pizza and pasta brand in the country, has already rolled out two major campaigns that excite the palates of Filipinos. The sumptuous line-up of the Philippines’ Favorite Pizzas was launched in January followed by the equally delightful New Pasta Supreme Meat Plates. Both offerings were launched recently at a star-studded event in Greenwich’s fast casual store in SM North EDSA, where they solidified their trailblazer status in the industry.



For the first time, Greenwich held an event for both their pizza and pasta products at the same time, featuring Greenwich kabarkada John Lloyd Cruz and Anne Curtis. Also present and game for some fun were other members of the Greenwich gang, namely Lloyd Zaragoza (Bruno), Mika Lagdameo (Issa) and Kelly Misa (Kelly). The Greenwich barkada thrilled the crowd for a challenging game of Playing Favorites, where they paired up with the media friends to answer questions on Philippines’ Favorites and Perfect Combinations.

The main highlight of the day came when the delicious pizzas and pasta meat plates were brought out to give the guests an incredibly tasty and filling meal. Everyone delighted in every slice of Greenwich Special Overload and Ultimate Hawaiian Overload, pizzas that were overloaded with delicious premium toppings, sobrang cheesy, and with the perfect blend of pizza sauce – just the way Filipinos like it.


Not to be outdone, the New Pasta Supreme Meat Plates featuring Chicken Carbonara & Premium Beef Strips and the Lasagna Supreme with Jumbo Crunchy Fried Chicken impressed the pasta lovers. Perfect for girl friends that are looking for fun bonding moments over a delectable and satisfying meal, the new offerings from Greenwich will surely allow them to discover delicious.



Being the most innovative pizza and pasta brand, Greenwich continues to come up with pizza and pasta offerings that suit perfectly the Filipino taste. Matched with creative and exciting campaigns like the Philippines’ Favorite Pizzas and Pasta Supreme Meat Plates, truly, they’re the Philippines’ favorite pizza brand.
