CEBU, Philippines - Even before its formal launching in Cebu, Ayala Land Inc.’s condominium brand Avida, already enjoyed a strong take up of the condominium units of the Avida Towers with 149 of the total 518 units sold within three days.
A Priority Selling activity was conducted last week which recognizes the patronage of existing Ayala clients by giving them the first priority to reserve their chosen units.
Prospective buyers who have submitted Letters of Intent were accommodated as well.
On the last day of the activity, approximately 200 sellers and buyers attended, some of whom have waited for registration to open as early as 7:30 in the morning.
In three days, 149 or 30 percent of the total units were already taken.
The first condominium project of Avida in the Visayas, Avida Towers Cebu is located in Asiatown IT Park, the premier IT and BPO hub in Southern Philippines. It is the first affordable Ayala condominium community in the region.
In line with Ayala Land’s commitment to enhance land and enrich lives, Avida focuses on enriching the lives of the hardworking middle class by offering their families a home to be proud of—one nestled in a peaceful and safe community, accessible to public transportation, beautifully and practically designed, and one that will prove reliable performance over time. Avida stands for “affordable living at its best.”

This project which is expected to cost the company at least P1.5 billion investments creates affordability, security and value in every house and lot and condominium development it builds. Avida stands for affordable living at its best.
The Ayala Group in partnership with its affiliate Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI) earlier announced that it will pour in capital expenditure (capex) of about P2 billion each year, starting 2010.
