Amaia brings another community in Batangas

After a couple of projects launched last year, Ayala Land’s economic housing arm, Amaia, is launching another community in Lipa City, Batangas as part of its mission to give every Filipino the opportunity to have better homes.

There is no stopping to what Amaia has set out to do, which is to provide quality homes at a very affordable price.

Ayala Land’s economic housing arm, Amaia Land, opens another community in Lipa City, Batangas.

Its newest development, Amaia Scapes Batangas, is the third horizontal development of Amaia Land Corp. in the province, which is located in Barangay Anilao-Labac, Lipa City.

Batangas is a first class province located on the southwestern part of Luzon in the CALABARZON region. The province is among the most popular destinations near Metro Manila because it is home to some of the famous tourists’ spots like Taal Volcano and Taal Heritage town—a small picturesque town that has ancestral houses and structures dating back to the 19th century.

The province also has many excellent beaches and diving spots including Anilao in Mabini, Sombrero Island inTingloy, Ligpo Island in Bauan, Matabungkay in Lian, Punta Fuego in Nasugbu, Calatagan and Laiya in San Juan.

The Patio Green is an extension of one’s home for a fresher environment

Also, Batangas is not only famous for their production and market of the 'Balisong' or Filipino Butterfly knife but also as a booming industrial hub. The identification of Lipa City as an industrial growth center in the region and being the focal point of the CALABARZON program resulted to the increasing number of business establishments in the city's Central Business District as well as numerous industries operating at the province's industrial parks.

With these facts to consider, it is very ideal to purchase an Amaia Scapes Batangas property since it offers not only a safe and secure community but also a location that will open doors of opportunity for you and your family.

The location of this new Amaia development is very beneficial to its future residents because of its strategic location. It is home to some of major commercial establishments which are essential to day-to-day living. Other establishments such as government offices, hospitals, and restaurants are also near Amaia.

Schools like De La Salle, Lipa City Colleges, and other elementary and high school institutions are just few minutes away from the community, which is very convenient when raising your children.

The Village Pavilion

Aside from the good location, Amaia Scapes takes pride of its unique community concepts, innovative house designs, and spacious area. Each Amaia community is designed with guarded entrance and exits, a perimeter fence, and tree-lined spine road for ensuring the safety of its residents.

Promoting not only quality homes but balanced lifestyle as well, Amaia provides a Village Patio that has a pavilion, swimming pool, basketball court, and landscaped garden. A Patio Green which serves as an extension of one’s home is also available for a fresher environment for the family.

Continuing its promise of combining affordability and quality, the project occupies approximately 10 hectares of land with 630 residential units. Future residents can choose from six house types namely Bungalow Pod, Twin Pod, Single Home, Twin Home, Multi Pod, and Carriage Pod. Buying an Amaia home is made easy with various payment schemes such as cash payment, deferred, PAG-IBIG, Bank and In-house financing.

Rest assured that Amaia Scapes Batangas is of top quality since it is backed by Makati Development Corporation BuildPlus and by Ayala Property Management Corporation, both trusted for securing a liveable community.

With Amaia Scapes Batangas, your dream home is within your reach.

James Hardie: Living Without Compromise

Many people, when faced with time or budget constraints, or a decision between old and new ways of doing things, are forced to accept standards that are lower than desirable. Yet there is one aspect in life where there should be no room for compromise: the building of spaces where we live, work, play, and enjoy life to the fullest. 

James Hardie—a highly respected, admired innovator and world leader in the building materials industry—espouses elevating standards and prioritizing quality. As a result, its products, especially the HardieFlex brand of durable fiber cement boards, have become the top choice among discerning architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and homeowners since the brand’s introduction to the local market in 1996.

The brand trusted by the experts, James Hardie products, provide durability and design flexibility. And this is enhanced by James Hardie guidelines on how not to compromise when it comes to safety, sustainability and cost-efficiency. 

1. Put stock in things that last a long time

Founded in Australia in 1888, the company that pioneered state-of-the-art fiber cement technology in the 1980s has invested much in research and development for its cornerstone Philippines product range, HardieFlex. 

Now, the most trusted fiber cement brand by architects in the country, HardieFlex is the go-to material for withstanding the test of time and resisting a host of problems. Unlike plywood, HardieFlex is resistant to moisture damage, fire, termites, rotting, and impact. 

This durable product has also been tested on a variety of landscapes and weather conditions. The Philippines, in particular, is a tricky place in which to build homes and buildings, given its varying weather which ranges from hot and humid to cold and wet. HardieFlex® fiber cement products are specifically manufactured to perform superbly in the face of these unique factors affecting Philippine construction. It protects against moisture damage and rotting all year round, for many years to come. 

2. Think cost-efficient instead of cheap

When local homeowners economize on construction materials, are they truly saving their money or just compromising on quality? Some materials like wood and plywood may be less expensive initially, but since they’re not as durable, they need to be repaired and replaced more often. Result: they’re more expensive in the long run. 

Built to last, HardieFlex® is more pocket-friendly. It can be installed in various applications with minimal labor costs for homeowners. With HardieFlex®, construction can be cost-efficient without skimping on safety and structural integrity.

3. Choose both form and function

There are endless design possibilities with HardieFlex®. Initially marketed and known as material for ceilings and walls, the durable fiber cement boards has expanded its line, offering several applications such as eaves, fascia, flooring, wet areas, and external cladding. 

HardieFlex Ceilings, HardieFlex Walls, HardieFlex Wet Area Solution, HardieFlex Senepa, HardieFlex Eaves, HardiePlank Siding, and HardieFlex Flooring all allow for a wide variety of sizes and applications to fit your design and decorative taste. 

4. Go for sustainable and health friendly

Years of experience, research and development, and knowledge from across the globe have made James Hardie products the ideal tool, not only because of their quality and durability. It aims to deliver an ideal and cost-efficient way of building spaces without forgetting two important elements: the people and the environment. With HardieFlex®, James Hardie delivers products that are both health- and eco-friendly. 

First, its products are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are chemicals emitted in the air which may be harmful to people and the environment. Secondly, asbestos, a common additive found in other fiber board products, are 100% absent from HardieFlex® products. Research shows that VOCs can cause serious respiratory problems in children and the elderly. Without these harmful compounds threatening to pollute the air people breathe, it is much easier to enjoy life without worry. 

HardieFlex products are also energy-efficient and designed to provide thermal comfort. Moreover, the products use sustainable raw materials and goes through a manufacturing process which minimizes the impact on the environment. 

5. Always go the extra mile

Confident of the top-notch quality of its products, James Hardie provides a ten-year warranty on all HardieFlex fiber cement boards. This winner of 3 out of 4 feature awards at the Architects’ Choice Awards Philippines 2014 by BCI Asia, including Most Trusted Brand for cement boards, also comes with excellent after-sales service. The company has dedicated hotlines for customer and technical support (toll-free 1-800-1-888-5427; or (02) 895-5427.

Living life without compromise seems like a very difficult undertaking. But with HardieFlex®, you won’t need to settle for anything but the best.
