One of the Philippines' prized stretches of virgin coast lies on the Northern tip of Manila-a lush sprawl of thick greens, cobalt waters, fine sand and sloping terrains.

"When we started planning Anvaya, we knew we were working with a special piece of land in a unique, lush and delicate natural setting. From the beginning, there was already a great sense of responsibility to deliver a project that would not only preserve the natural surroundings, but enhance it by building a vibrant seaside community for families to enjoy. From its inception, respect for and sensitivity to the environment has been ingrained into the vision for Anvaya Cove," shares Bobby Dy, Ayala Land Premier's senior vice president and head of residential business group.

At first glance, Anvaya Cove already exemplifies the ideal confluence of luxe elegance and environmental respect. However, it takes grassroots know-how and a sincere reverence for the concept of sustainability to be successful at such a scale-and Ayala Land Premier has mastered the art of green real estate masterplanning. As a testament to their commitment to members, residents and the environment, the resort community recently celebrated their nomination as a finalist for HD Magazine Award, under the Green and Sustainable Category.

"The design and planning of Anvaya Cove followed sustainable principles in order to create an eco-resort like residential development that was within easy reach of Manila," says Senior Architect for Anvaya Cove, Manny Illana.

"The onset of this project, the development team agreed that emphasis needed to be placed on protecting and enhancing the physical attributes and habitats of the site."
