Southmont Central, a newly-launched district within Ayala Land’s 800- hectare Southmont estate in Cavite, made a strong market debut with 43% of its inventory sold on the first day, underscoring investor confidence in the Cavite corridor—an area fast emerging as a key growth zone south of Metro Manila.
The 36-hectare Southmont Central is planned as the civic and commercial core of the estate, anchored by retail and institutional components alongside Ayala Land’s existing residential projects. These include Hillside Ridge and Verdea by Alveo Land, and Lanewood Hills by Ayala Land Premier—each contributing to the estate’s growing resident base.
The first phase of Southmont Central spans 5.8 hectares and offers 37 commercial lots averaging 925 square meters. These lots are integrated with green open spaces and are positioned to attract local businesses, retail concepts, and services aimed at supporting the surrounding residential communities.
Future amenities include a six-hectare sports club, designed to promote wellness and social interaction, as well as a church and civic spaces to enhance community life.
Southmont benefits from a strategic location along key infrastructure routes, with direct access to CALAX, Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay Road, Pook Road, and Carmen Road. Connectivity is expected to improve further with upcoming projects such as the Cavite–Tagaytay–Batangas Expressway (CTBEX) and the LRT-1 Cavite Extension.
Residential components in the estate have posted steady sales. Hillside Ridge is 97% sold, with 543 lots already in turnover since early 2023. Lanewood Hills, a low-density enclave by Ayala Land Premier, is 90% sold, with turnovers that began in the fourth quarter of 2024. Verdea, Alveo Land’s second residential development in the estate, has sold 52% of its 372 lots, with turnovers scheduled for early 2026.
Turnover for Southmont Central’s commercial lots is targeted for the third quarter of 2028, laying the groundwork for what Ayala Land sees as a dynamic new district within Cavite’s expanding economic landscape.
Southmont is one of four large-scale estates developed by Ayala Land in Southern Luzon, alongside Nuvali in Laguna, Broadfield in Biñan, and the recently launched Aéra in Batangas. These masterplanned developments reflect the company’s long-term strategy of integrating residential, commercial, and institutional uses to support the region’s sustained urban growth.
