History

The site of what is now Nuvali was under a hacienda owned by the Yulo family since 1948. The 7,100-hectare (18,000-acre) estate was developed into a sugar plantation. The farmers have demanded agrarian reform over the years, portions of which has been repurposed into commercial developments by Yulo-affiliated corporations and partners. [1]

On September 16, 2008, employees of Ayala Land planted trees at a site now under Nuvali. Ayala Land formally launched Nuvali in 2009 as a 17-kilometer (11 mi) long green development straddling three cities in Laguna – Santa Rosa, Calamba and Cabuyao. [2] Nuvali is a collaboration between Ayala Land and the Yulo family. [3]

Infrastructure would get built including Solenad, which was opened in 2009 and relaunched as an Ayala Mall in 2015, [4] [5] and the Qualimed Hospital in 2017. [6]

By 2019, Nuvali has expanded to a 2,290-hectare (5,700-acre) development. [2]

In early 2025, a planned Santa Rosa Civic Complex in Nuvali was announced. [7]

Demographics

As of 2019, Nuvali has 22 residential subdivisions. [2]

Education

Nuvali hosts campuses of Xavier School, Miriam College, and Everest Academy, all located in Calamba. [2]
