Ayala Land Inc. on Tuesday reported that Southmont Central, the newly launched commercial hub within the Southmont estate in Cavite, achieved a 43 percent sell-through rate on its first day of sale, underscoring robust investor confidence in the area’s growth potential.
The 5.8-hectare Southmont Central forms part of the 800-hectare Southmont estate, Ayala Land’s flagship mixed-use development in southern Luzon. Comprising 37 commercial lots averaging 925 square meters, the district is positioned as the civic and commercial core of the estate, featuring integrated green spaces and amenities designed to support a growing residential population.
“This milestone reflects strong demand for strategically located commercial properties that serve emerging residential communities,” Ayala Land said in a statement.
Southmont Central will be anchored by retail and institutional components and will complement three existing residential projects within the estate: Hillside Ridge and Verdea by Alveo Land, and Lanewood Hills by Ayala Land Premier. These developments are driving residential density, with Hillside Ridge already 97 percent sold, Lanewood Hills at 90 percent, and Verdea at 50 percent sold.
Commercial lot turnover at Southmont Central is scheduled for the third quarter of 2028. Future estate amenities include a six-hectare sports club, a church, and civic spaces, aimed at enhancing livability and fostering community life.
Strategically located with direct access to key infrastructure such as CALAX, Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay Road, and upcoming projects like CTBEX and the LRT-1 Cavite Extension, Southmont is seen as a vital node in Cavite’s rapidly expanding economic corridor.
Southmont is one of four large-scale estates developed by Ayala Land in southern Luzon, alongside Nuvali in Laguna, Broadfield in Biñan, and the newly launched Aéra in Batangas, underscoring the company’s long-term bet on the region’s urbanization and commercial growth.
