Ayala land Estate Areza New Downtown Lipa 1,000 sqm Commercial Lot For Sale Property Investment

Areza Estate delivers modern downtown in Lipa

Pedestrian-friendly streets, mixed-use low-rises, a green streetscape and engaging architecture are just a few of the features that Lipenos can look forward to at Areza, Lipa City’s newest integrated estate by Ayala Land Inc. (ALI). But there is more beyond the surface.

The up-and-coming estate, at almost 100 hectares, is envisioned to be Lipa’s new downtown when it reaches completion. Its masterplan takes inspiration from the way old Spanish towns were planned, wherein the main components—which include a city hall, a church, market and residential spaces—surround the main plaza.

Areza will similarly have all these components—commercial establishments, shophouses, as well as retail and institutional components—filling this masterplanned community and turning it into a dynamic new downtown fit for Batangas’ first-class component city.

Since city halls are a vital part of any downtown because these are central to community building, among the first structures that were launched within the Areza estate is the new Lipa City Hall. ALI turned over 5 hectares of the estate to the city to be the site of the new administrative building.

The Lipa City Local Government Office commissioned renowned architectural firm Budji + Royal to spearhead the creation of the new city hall. Ar. Royal Pineda explained that the new Lipa City Hall is designed to “bring back the land to the people.”

Pedestrian-friendly streets, mixed-use low-rises, a green streetscape and engaging architecture are just a few of the features that Lipenos can look forward to at Areza.

Trees and gardens will surround the building while spaces are intended to be airy and benefit from natural light, making it pandemic-ready. The pedestrian-friendly area will also house an amphitheater at the center where people can gather for bigger events, as well as a performance hall.

To represent Lipa City’s 72 barangays, the new city hall will comprise 72 elevated blocks. Underneath these are pocket gardens and parks where people can walk and enjoy outdoors. The lobbies will be grand but not enclosed and the hallways will be comfortable and spacious.

Another valuable addition at Areza is the Lipa Trading Center. Spanning 1.6 ha, this will serve as the regional food terminal or “bagsakan” of local produce and various other food products.

The Lipa Trading Center is seen to streamline the regional food distribution network that would eventually result in lower costs, high profits and better products. Set to benefit from it are farmers from Lipa and the rest of Calabarzon Region as well as traders, wholesalers and retailers, institutional buyers such as restaurants, hotels and resorts, and at least 21 organized farmers’ groups. #areza #lipacity #newdowntownlipacity #ayalalandestates #ayalalandestatesarezalipa #lipacommerciallotforsale #commerciallotforsaleinlipacitybatangas #propertyinvestmentinlipa #commerciallotinvestmentinlipabatangas
