Nuvali (stylized in all caps) is a planned community designed as an eco-city by Ayala Land. A combination of commercial, residential, recreational, and educational developments, it covers the cities of Cabuyao, Calamba, and Santa Rosa in the province of Laguna in the Philippines.
History
[edit]The site of what is now Nuvali was under a hacienda owned by the Yulo family since 1948. The 7,100-hectare (18,000-acre) estate was developed into a sugar plantation. The farmers have demanded agrarian reform over the years, portions of which has been repurposed into commercial developments by Yulo-affiliated corporations and partners.[1]
On September 16, 2008, employees of Ayala Land planted trees at a site now under Nuvali. Ayala Land formally launched Nuvali in 2009 as a 17-kilometer (11 mi) long green development straddling three cities in Laguna – Santa Rosa, Calamba and Cabuyao.[2] Nuvali is a collaboration between Ayala Land and the Yulo family.[3]
Infrastructure would get built including Solenad, which was opened in 2009 and relaunched as an Ayala Mall in 2015,[4][5] and the Qualimed Hospital in 2017.[6]
By 2019, Nuvali has expanded to a 2,290-hectare (5,700-acre) development.[2]
In early 2025, a planned Santa Rosa Civic Complex in Nuvali was announced.[7]
Demographics
[edit]As of 2019, Nuvali has 22 residential subdivisions.[2]
Education
[edit]Nuvali hosts campuses of Xavier School, Miriam College, and Everest Academy, all located in Calamba.[2]
Sports
[edit]
From 2012 to 2021, Nuvali had the Republic Wakepark, a wakeboarding venue. It closed due to financial reasons and the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
The Nuvali Sand Courts in Santa Rosa has hosted the Asian Beach Volleyball Championships in 2024.[9] It will also host the 2025 edition.[10]
Transportation
[edit]
The Cavite–Laguna Expressway serves Nuvali, with exits at Santa Rosa–Tagaytay and Laguna Boulevard.[11]
The Nuvali Transport Terminal in Santa Rosa serves Nuvali. It is the terminal of point-to-point buses bound for Makati and Bonifacio Global City, shuttles plying inside Nuvali, and minibuses bound for Balibago in Santa Rosa, and tricycles plying nearby areas in Santa Rosa and Biñan.[12]
