Ayala Land Inc. and US conglomerate General Electric (GE) signed an agreement Tuesday to jointly develop a sprawling environment-friendly community near Manila.
The partnership aims to promote so-called “green homes and commercial buildings” in NUVALI (a 1,700-hectare property in Laguna province).
Ayala Land said it would promote energy-efficient GE products from lighting fixtures and water process technologies to advanced building designs and real-time energy management systems.
Wow, high-tech!
NUVALI’s first phase features
- a four-hectare lake
- a lakeside retail and business process outsourcing campus
- open parks
- residential developments.
I’ve attended the briefing on this NEW Metropolis and I can say that it’s really a grand grand plan!
A new way of living (imagine you will have “water taxis” to get around the area!) Cool!
Go Ayala Land!

Good for them! There are a lot of housing communities “going green”, now if we could see more corporations making the change we’ll be getting somewhere. Just like homeowners get tax credits for being more effecient, businesses are starting to get paid to make the switch through companies like Enernoc (http://www.enernoc.com) and other energy management companies depending on the location, so there should be less excuses!
