Where is the next wave of progress in the South? For Ayala Land, it is taking shape in Cebu and Davao—two regions rising as powerful engines of commerce and community. Through visionary estates that balance nature, enterprise, and opportunity, the company is defining how Filipinos live and invest in the Visayas and Mindanao.
From the Next Wave estates in Cebu—South Coast City, Gatewalk, and Seagrove—to the newly launched Ascenda Estate in Davao, Ayala Land expands its legacy of sustainable growth and purposeful design.
Cebu: A city of momentum
Ayala Land’s success in Cebu began with two transformative projects: Cebu Business Park and Cebu IT Park, both redeveloped from underutilized land into thriving business and lifestyle districts. Decades later, these flagship estates remain vibrant and relevant.
At Cebu Business Park, a refreshed Central Park, the ongoing expansion of Ayala Center Cebu, and an upgraded Seda Hotel strengthen its appeal. At Cebu IT Park, inclusive living spaces such as CityFlats and events like Car-Free Sundays sustain community engagement.
These enduring estates paved the way for Cebu’s Next Wave—Ayala Land’s campaign spotlighting the next generation of growth centers that follow their success.
South Coast City – The Entertainment Capital of the Region
Jointly developed with SM Prime, South Coast City is a 26-hectare estate along the South Coastal Road in SRP, connecting north and south Cebu to Mactan via CCLEX.
Home to the SM Arena, SMX Convention Center, world-class hotels, and a 1-hectare Central Park, it is envisioned as Cebu’s premier coastal destination for entertainment, lifestyle, and business.
Gatewalk – Mandaue’s Central Commercial and Lifestyle District
In Mandaue, Gatewalk introduces a 17.5-hectare walkable district anchored by a reimagined Ayala Malls, opening in 2026, as well as a transport hub, office spaces, a High Street-inspired Greenway linked to parks and open spaces, creating a green and refreshing destination amid nearby industrial areas.
Seagrove – Eco-Leisure and Tourism Hub in Mactan
Across the bridge in Punta Engaño, Seagrove blends coastal leisure and sustainability within a 13.5-hectare estate. Fronting Magellan Bay and an expansive mangrove forest, its Town Centre and Coastal Boardwalk create a distinctive, balanced setting where recreation and nature meet.
Together, these three estates form Cebu’s Next Wave—rare investment opportunities in limited, high-value commercial lots at the forefront of regional expansion.
Davao: First-mover advantage in Mindanao
In Davao, Ayala Land has long been a trailblazer—from Insular Village and Abreeza to Azuela Cove. Now comes its most ambitious undertaking: Ascenda, a 204-hectare mixed-use estate in Toril, representing a ₱10.3-billion investment, the company’s biggest in Mindanao.
Located in Toril, Davao City, Ascenda is envisioned as Davao’s Nature-Inspired Southern Gateway. Designed with Henning Larsen, the firm behind Singapore’s Bishan Park, it integrates blue–green infrastructure and sustainable open spaces. Its 65-hectare Town Center—complete with promenades, church, and retail blocks—is surrounded by Virendo, Ayala Land Premier’s first village in Davao, offering only five lots per hectare, the lowest density in its portfolio.
Linked by the Davao Coastal Road and Bypass Road, Ascenda combines heritage, connectivity, and growth. As of groundbreaking, ₱2.4 billion in sales for Virendo and Town Center lots reflect strong investor confidence.
Further north in Davao City, Ayala Land’s presence continues to strengthen with Azuela Cove, a 25-hectare estate along the Davao Gulf in Lanang. The estate is now down to its last remaining commercial lots, as the opening of Azuela High Street ushers in a vibrant and fast-growing community.
VisMin Estates: Catalysts of regional growth
Across the Visayas and Mindanao, Ayala Land’s estates share one vision: to enhance land and enrich lives through integrated, sustinable, future-ready communities.
In Cebu, the Next Wave estates—South Coast City, Gatewalk, and Seagrove—extend the success of Cebu Business Park and Cebu IT Park while offering scarce prime lots for investors.
In Davao, Ascenda and Azuela Cove anchor the company’s first-mover advantage in Mindanao, blending nature, commerce, and culture into forward-looking destinations.
Together, they form Ayala Land’s southern blueprint for progress—places built with purpose, designed to endure.
