While cities have been around for centuries, the concept of urban planning is a relatively newer study that has been developing importance in the last decade. Overpopulation, traffic congestion, and health issues throughout the years have urged government and developers to stop and think – how do we make our urban developments a foolproof place for people to live well?

Security and quality of living have always been important. However, distance to work/education and convenience equally play a role in choosing a place to live. In a recent study by Colliers International, the rise in sales take-up of condos in the Philippines was due to the acceptance of mid-high income earners to invest in condominiums in cities such as Makati, Taguig, QC and Pasay. 

To address the demands of the market, there has been rapid growth in mixed-use or estate developments in CBD’s and growing cities. These estates offer connected communities, and merged places for live, work, and play, among others.

Ayala Land’s Vertis North in Quezon City, in particular, sets its sights to be the enterprise capital of the North. It aims to address problems of older CBD’s, and creates an environment of centrality, connectivity and urban conveniences that will bring vitality back to QC.

So, what do Estate communities such as Vertis North have that make them such appealing places to live?

Access to Healthcare, Education and Key Institutions

Vertis North is less than 2km away from the Lung Center of the Philippines, Veterans Memorial and Philippine Heart Center. It is in close proximity to ADMU, UP-Diliman and Miriam College, making it ideal for families to live. It is also home to innovative work spaces such as Vertis North Corporate Center and soon, One Vertis Plaza.

Green Open Spaces

The Vertis North Gardens is 2-HA green open space connecting the entire Estate. Even in the heart of the city, you can enjoy nature walks and scenery.
