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; both are located on the Santa Rosa side.[6] Ayala Malls Solenad began its expansion in 2024 and has since been rebranded as Ayala Malls Nuvali.[7]
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.[8]
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.[9]
The Nuvali Sand Courts in Santa Rosa has hosted the Asian Beach Volleyball Championships in 2024.[10] It will also host the 2025 edition.[11]
Transportation
[edit]
The Cavite–Laguna Expressway serves Nuvali, with exits at Santa Rosa–Tagaytay and Laguna Boulevard.[12]
The Nuvali Transport Terminal in Santa Rosa serves Nuvali. It is the terminal of point-to-point buses bound for Makati, shuttles plying inside Nuvali, and minibuses bound for Balibago in Santa Rosa, and tricycles plying nearby areas in Santa Rosa and Biñan.[13]
