Brand History
Since its legendary development of a vast tract of swamp land that is now the bustling city of Makati, the name Ayala had become indelibly etched in the minds of people as a visionary developer of land, pioneering the future to improve the quality of life.
Yet it was only in 1988 when Ayala Corporation spun off its real estate division into a separate company, giving birth to Ayala Land, Inc.
Ayala Land, Inc. was primarily associated with very high-end projects, whether central business districts, commercial centers or exclusive family residences. Makati was such a development, as was Alabang.
Since then, however, both the parent company, now simply known as Ayala, and Ayala Land, Inc. have expanded the reach of their businesses to serve a much broader segment of the population: From the very rich, to the young and fast rising achievers, to the hardworking middle class who form the backbone of the nation. One such subsidiary was Laguna Properties Holdings Inc. (LPHI).
LPHI was originally established in 1991 to provide for the housing needs of employees and junior executives in the Ayala Land-developed industrial estate, The Laguna Technopark. But the former LPHI had outgrown its original name. Today, it already has 27 projects in 13 locations.
In 2006, the name Laguna Properties Holdings, Inc. was changed to Avida Land Corp. Shorts for "Ave" or "celebrate" and "vida" which means "life", this new name is more in tune with Ayala Land's commitment to transform the lives of the hardworking middle class.
By offering thoughtfully planned, secure, and easily accessible communities at affordable prices, Avida indeed provides homeowners occasions to celebrate life.
Brand Evolution
When Laguna Properties Holdings, Inc. was established in 1991, its logo mark, which was made up of the letters L and H, wittingly formed the letter A - a strong association to the parent company, Ayala Land.
Backed by the strength of Ayala Land, LPHI developed one community after another in Laguna. On its seventh year, the company expanded to other locations in Batangas, Quezon and Bicol.
In 1998, LPHI expanded beyond Philippines shores and opened a satellite office in Dubai to service overseas-based Filipinos better.
In 2006, after undergoing a thorough brand study and market research, LPHI changed its name to Avida Land Corp. The new brand name and logo reflect the position of the company - as a leading provider of affordable homes to Filipino families in ideal communities that secure their future.
Being a company that offers thoughtfully planned, secure and affordable homes, the visual identity of Avida also combines beauty, stability and practicality. The font ZapfHumanist 601 Bold was chosen for the word mark.
Instead of a mere hint of a letter "A", the Avida logo mark carries the identifying phrase "an AyalaLand company", to acknowledge and mirror the parent company's image as a pioneer and visionary in land development.
Brand Promise
The brand promise of Avida stems from the brand promise of the parent company, Ayala Land, which is "Enhancing Land, Enriching Lives."
Avida focuses on enriching the lives of the hardworking middle class by offering their families a home to be proud of one that is nestled in a peaceful and safe community, accessible to public transportation, beautifully and practically designed, and one that will prove reliable performance over time.
Thus, Affordable living at its best.
Brand Values
There are three values that lie in the heart of Avida.
Affordability.
Owning an Ayala property was once merely a dream for most Filipino families. With Avida, under the parent company Ayala Land, average-cost yet well-designed homes are now well within the market's reach.
Value.
Avida develops and maintains residential communities that set the standard in the industry. The company is committed to provide the highest value for investment by delivering quality and innovative homes that last for a long time.
Security.
Avida understands how important it is for a homeowner to feel secure - both physically and psychologically. Physically, the property is protected by a perimeter fence and guards that patrol the area round the clock. Avida also conducts annual security education seminars for all homeowners. Emotionally, residents have peace of mind because they have valid land titles, and the quality homes that they own can last generations to come.
Buyer's Guide
Thank you for choosing Avida for your housing needs. We want your purchase to be as hassle-free as possible. Hence, we encourage you to spend time to read through for better understanding of what to expect - our deliverables and your corresponding obligations towards full realization of your expectations.
Title and Tax Declaration
1. Are all units sold secured by a title?
Each of the units that you buy from us is covered by a title that will eventually be transferred to your name. A Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) is issued to the new Avida lot owners and house and lot owners while a Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) is issued for condominium unit owners.
2. What is the procedure in title transfer?
The titling process starts when the Bureau of Lands (BL) issues an approved plan to consolidate and/or subdivide a parcel of land into the saleable units and open spaces/road lot/common area. The title/s of the parcel/s of land is presented to the Register of Deeds (RD) together with the approved subdivision plan by the Bureau of Lands. The Register of Deeds will prepare individual titles for each and every saleable unit and open spaces/road lot/common area depending on how the cut up plan was approved by the Bureau of Lands. The Register of Deeds will not issue the new set of titles on a piece meal basis. It prepares all the titles for the approved plan before Avida can get any one of them. At this point, all titles that will be issued will be in the name of Avida or its joint venture partner.
3. When does the title transfer commence?
Once you have fully paid your loan or Avida has an undertaking from your financing institution to fully pay your purchase, depending on the financing package you chose, we can now effect title transfer from Avida to your name. This does not go directly to the Register of Deeds (RD). We still have to pay for the taxes due on the purchase to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to secure the necessary documents required by the Register of Deeds from that government agency before effecting actual title transfer. This process takes about four (4) to six (6) months from date of full payment and submission of all documentary requirements.
Once all taxes due to the government are paid and the necessary clearances are secured, all the documents needed to effect title transfer are forwarded to the Register of Deeds. This process takes about two (2) to three (3) months.
Delays at the Local Government Units (LGUs) are sometimes experienced due to any of the following:
- Volume of documents being processed;
- Shortage or lack of the special paper that is used for the title, given the bigger volumes being processed for all the developers;
- Unavailability of the signatory/ries from the Local Government.

Blueprint for Growth
Ayala Land's diverse undertakings are supported by prudent financial policies including a selective reliance on bank debt, which has allowed Ayala Land to hold on to its properties over extended periods and downcycles. We engage in financing activities such as equity partnerships and pre-sales to fund our huge acquisitions and development programs.
As the country's largest and only full-line property developer, we have the unique advantage of being a major player in each of the key real estate segments. Our primary drivers of value are residential development, shopping centers, and strategic landbank management, each involving different combinations of investment requirements, value appreciation and cash flow returns. Our Residential Development business, with its fast cycle times and high margins, allows us to capitalize on quick-strike opportunities. The shopping Center business in turn stabilizes our revenues across the movements of the business cycle, with its large and steady cash flow returns. And our Strategic Landbank business gives us both a platform for creating strong and lasting value appreciation in our major landholdings, as well as growth areas for our other business lines.
In addition we have two smaller but rapidly-growing core businesses, our corporate business and Vis-Min units. Finally, our three strategic support businesses provide proprietary competitive advantages to each of our core business lines.
In each of the games being played across the industry, we are a leading player. This results in our being able to leverage the benefits of being in every game: scale, real value-added synergy, the financial wherewithal to ride out downturns in the cycle, and the flexibility to capitalize quickly on opportunities. This thus gives us a profit upside that is unique, in that we can profitably allocate resources to all the plays in the real estate development industry, and capture additional margin by combining products in a single project.
