PHILIPPINES – It’s all systems go for the Vermosa in Imus and Dasmarinas, Cavite as more amenities and major support systems for its projected business and residential community go up in succession this year.
The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) is nearing completion of its 115 kV-34.5kV substation within the 752-hectare mixed use development along Daang Hari Road. The fully dedicated substation will house three transformer banks with a combined capacity of 249 megavolt amperes (MVA) to accommodate new and additional load applications in the area. Current and future Vermosa residents and business owners are thus assured of ready and reliable power from Day 1.
The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has received lot parcel in Vermosa from Ayala Land Inc. on which to build its second headquarters in the province of Cavite. The Vermosa Red Cross headquarters will house the first-ever blood center in Cavite that can do complete collection, testing, processing and dispensing. It will ensure the ready availability of safe blood to Caviteños and nearby residents.
“The new office will provide ample space for the department services offices of Blood, Disaster Management, Safety, Volunteer, Red Cross Youth, Health, and Welfare Services. Additionally, it will feature a training center and conference facility that will support the organization’s humanitarian efforts in the region,” PRC said.
“Vermosa is much more ready for emergency response because it has a 24/7 response team,” said Moses Aragones, Vermosa Project Development Manager. Other government institutions that are part of the Vermosa master plan include a Philippine National Police (PNP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) station office.
More community support features will go up in 2024. The community parish, the Church of St. Sebastian, will ground break in 2024, while the awaited Sports Play Park opens in the second quarter of 2024. Retail outlets, the new Ayala Mall Vermosa and a Landers Superstore will provide consumer perks to residents and guests. A transport terminal is part of the community support system.
By year end of 2023, a new residential district will be launched in the northern part of the estates, followed by a logistics facility in 2024. Vermosa is further expanding its commercial offerings with its latest phase of lots in Campus Town, opening up opportunities for locators to invest in property with fast-moving value appreciation.
“Imus City is one of the fastest growing cities in the province of Cavite in terms of population and industrialization. It has been recognized as one of the Most Competitive Cities in the Philippines and the Most Economically Dynamic component city in CALABARZON.”, said Vermosa Estate Head Cris Zuluaga.
“Vermosa is the gateway to all that dynamism in this area of Cavite and is itself the growth center in this part of the south. Easily accessible from Manila, Makati, Alabang and Tagaytay through various roadways and approaches such as SLEX via MCX, Cavitex, CALAX and the upcoming Cavite-Batangas Bypass Road, it opens its arms to residents, locators and visitors to experience suburban charm, first class amenities, robust business opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities to pursue wellness and an active lifestyle,” she added.
