Nature’s design takes the spotlight at Arden Botanical Village
At Trece Martires City in Cavite, those longing to enjoy a serene and relaxing life away from the dizzying buzz of the city can find exactly what they are looking at property giant Megaworld’s Arden Botanical Village, its first upscale residential village inside the 251-hectare botanical-themed township Arden Botanical Estate.Thoughtfully designed by renowned Filipino landscape architect and environmental planner Paulo Alcazaren, Arden Botanical Village covers around 18-hectares of the estate and offers 329 lots ranging from 280 to 609 square meters.
The exclusively gated Arden Botanical Village will be highlighted by the Centrera Park, which is surrounded by natural groves of mature trees, natural waterways and ponds, sprawling lush greeneries, expansive open spaces, promenades and parks, and jogging paths.
The village’s Clubhouse will also be part of the Centrera Park, with some carefully curated amenities for the exclusive use of the residents and their guests. A natural swimming pool will be part of the amenities and village landscape, a trend that has gained popularity in European neighborhoods.
“Arden Botanical Village will be built around the natural features that thrive in the estate, providing purposeful, livable spaces for its residents. Because the location is naturally gifted with greeneries that couldn’t be found in any other residential villages, we want to preserve and highlight them in our development,” says Eugene Em Lozano, senior vice president for sales and marketing, Megaworld.
Taking inspiration from Scandinavian architecture, Arden Botanical Village will also feature thematic bridges, landscaped walkways, bike lanes, and some interactive water features. Houses and village amenities, including the village showroom, will feature minimalist form and clean lines with panoramic windows that look out, and make a pleasant contrast with the village’s verdant landscape.
“Future residents will find themselves enjoying quiet moments with nature around the village, promoting not just physical wellness, but also improves social and mind wellness. This residential development’s suburban charm and gorgeous unique landscape make it a perfect setting for personal retreat even for the generations to come,” adds Lozano.
Arden Botanical Village is expected for completion by 2024. Aside from Arden Botanical Village, the Megaworld Group has also introduced two other sprawling residential villages within the estate.
Known as sustainable estate, Arden Botanical Estate is a joint development of Megaworld and its subsidiary brand Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI). Both companies are spending P18-billion to build the development in the next 10 years, that will be highlighted by flower farms and gardens.
The development is just 1.5 hours away from Makati’s Central Business District, and just an hour away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
