Ayala unit plans nature park for Cebu property

Ayala Land-affiliate Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI) will transform a portion of its 200-hectare property in the uplands of Cebu City into a nature park.

CHI assistant vice president Ver dela Cerna said they will set aside 71 hectares of the property located in Cebu City’s mountain barangays.

“This facility will be open to students and the public who wanted to enjoy nature,” dela Cerna told BusinessMirror.

The Ayala Heights Nature’s Park is geared to become an ecotourism destination and is expected to be completed within a year.

A foundation has been set up to oversee the operations of the nature park, which will feature nature trails and wildlife, among others.

“We are also working with various organizations,” dela Cerna said.

CHI chairman Jaime Ayala last week described the project as the Ayala group’s commitment to protect Cebu’s watershed areas.

“We are not developing it as a residential area. We will make it available to the community being a valuable protected area,” Ayala said.

He added that CHI will fulfill its commitment to buyers and lot owners in Ayala Heights subdivision which is also located inside the 200-hectare property.
