Serendra is one of the prime residential projects of Ayala Land, Inc. It is located between 11th Avenue and McKinley Parkway, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila Serendra is a 12-hectare garden community with European architecture style derived from Tegel Harbor and Germany Berliner Strasse master plans combined with the stone style house or bahay na bato architecture of the Philippines.
Serendra provides a gracious suburban lifestyle within the conveniences of the city. From Nicaraguan Jasmine trees, flowering trellises filled with thunbergia, swaying bamboo clusters to ponds filled with koi, Serendra provides a unique garden environment that provides the spirit with an overwhelming sense of calm. And within this private enclave, residents are able to enjoy exclusive amenities such as a dedicated spa, underground badminton, and basketball courts, multiple swimming pools, gyms, and many others.
The project is a distinctive, sprawling, human-scaled development consisting of low-to-mid-rise terraced sections in the first few phases, gradually spiraling to taller section in later phases, scaled with the pedestrian in mind:
- Low-density living amidst the city (overall FAR of about 4 to 5)
- Only for pedestrians at the ground floor, i.e., no vehicles; all basement parking
- Retail areas removed from the residential buildings but within comfortable walking distance to shops and restaurants
Architecture
Serendra prides itself in being the lowest density project within Bonifacio Global City today and is considered the pioneering garden residential development of its kind in the market, with 65% of its area dedicated to landscaped greenery and various amenities and facilities. It is divided into two parts: One Serendra, project of Ayala Land Premier, and Two Serendra, project of Alveo Land Corp., a fully owned subsidiary of Ayala Land, Inc.
The Bridgeway
Sections ABCDE of Two Serendra is connected to Two Serendra Phase III by a landmark bridge, which is for the exclusive use of the residents. The bridge exudes a visual statement in Bonifacio Global City.
Retail promenade
Serendra's retail promenade is called The Shops at Serendra (a.k.a. Piazza or Serendra Plaza), where one can find upscale shops including trendy boutiques, art galleries, home stores, and unique service establishments as well as quaint multi-cultural restaurants with either European, Asian, or Continental themes.
Accessibility
At the heart of the City Center masterplan of Bonifacio Global City, Bonifacio High Street offers the central work-play experience in the business district, with its nearly kilometer long travel landscaped park with restaurants and retail stores on the first floor, and offices on the second floor — including those of large and pioneering companies. Just across the road is Market! Market! which provides the best regional delicacies from various Philippine provinces, fresh fruits and flowers, and basic necessities.
Many expats choose to reside here due to Serendra's very close proximity to the international schools.
Serendra's prime location in Bonifacio Global City, the emerging business district of the future, provides easy access to world-class health, and educational institutions, and top financial, and commercial centers.
