Ayala Malls Solenad

Ayala Malls Solenad anchors the retail component of Nuvali, the master-planned eco-city that Ayala Land has been developing in Santa Rosa, Laguna, since the late 2000s. The mall opened in three phases — Solenad 1 in 2012, Solenad 2 in 2013, and Solenad 3 in 2014 — totaling approximately 82,000 square meters of gross leasable area. The open-air format with extensive landscaping, pedestrian walkways, and outdoor dining terraces reflects the broader Nuvali design philosophy of integrating retail, residential, and commercial uses with substantial green infrastructure.

Anchor tenants include Rustan’s Supermarket, Uniqlo, Ace Hardware, the Ayala Cinemas, and a substantial restaurant and cafe cluster that has established Solenad as a weekend dining destination drawing visitors from Metro Manila on top of the local Nuvali catchment. The mall has become a key social hub for the surrounding subdivisions, with the outdoor plazas and landscaped paths frequently used for community events, weekend markets, and fitness gatherings. The pet-friendly policies have made Solenad popular for dog-walking and family outings.

Nuvali itself spans approximately 1,800 hectares across Santa Rosa, Cabuyao, and Calamba, encompassing residential subdivisions, commercial centers, schools, churches, and the Nuvali Lake recreation area. The development is one of Ayala Land’s largest master-planned communities and a flagship example of the company’s eco-city design template. The property’s catchment extends across southern Laguna, eastern Cavite, and the SLEX Calabarzon corridor, an estimated 2.6 million residents within a forty-minute drive radius. The location complements Ayala’s other Calabarzon properties including Ayala Malls South Park in Muntinlupa and the Vertis-style developments closer to Metro Manila.
