Good Day! - Welcome to City of the Future. Ara Vista
For many of us, a home is the largest investment we make in our lifetimes.Ara Vista is a ultra-modern first-class Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) laying inside a Philippine Economic Zone (PEZA) at General Trias, Cavite. With an area of 50 hectares, Ara Vista is the first planned 'telepolis' of it's kind in the Philippines. Modeled after successful Master Planned Communities and backed by the IT Prowess of AMA Computer University, the Community will provide a modern way of life second to none!
A family member said ...
For many of us, a home is the largest investment we make in our lifetimes.As one of the members of the Concierge Planning Staff, of course I talk about my work to my family and friends. It's difficult not to be excited about what we're building here at AraVista, and sometimes I even need to curb my enthusiasm as my love of the project is so much. I'm sure those who are passionate about their careers can understand me. Which brings me to something I wanted to share. A few weekends ago at the despedia of my Tito Bong he was talking about what he wants to do when he returns from the U.K. Can you believe he's not even there yet, and his mind is already on returning home? Tito Bong is in his mid-thirties, a male nurse and had just signed an oversea contract to work in a Glassborough, UK hospital for the next 4 years. Tulong-tulong kasi, sabi sha, "Kelan bumalik dito" I want to get more involved with the computers. Sabi sha, "I watched the Matrix again last week, and it seems this Technology is becoming real". All of our family members laughed, including my cousin Dario who is a IT Programmer for a big multi-national in Makati. I thought to myself this is really coming true, mga-facebook, mga-iPhone, everyone is connected in real-time. To me it seems like the Internet itself is becoming an economy, an independent nation.
In my role as Concierge planner at AraVista I was listening to my Tito Bong dream about becoming better with this 'matrix' of the Internet, sabihian tulong-tulong on developing his own Facebook applications, sabi "ManNurseVille", they're spreading to his friends. After listening to his talk, a thought came to me about my job here at AraVista. Our place is one where Tito Bong can actually afford a house, something like P20,000 monthly to own within 4 years. There will be an AMA IT school, wide roads, trees, playgrounds. I described this to Tito Bong and he said I was aligning his dream into reality, he thought wow, I would never have to leave AraVista and waste 3 hours commuting to an IT school in Manila. I can stay here in the comfort of my community, have schooling, have a job nearby in the PEZA IT Zone and wifi for my laptop when I get restless in the house. After his despedia, Tito Bong is still 'hooked' on the idea we were talking about that day, he is emailing me from the UK and telling his new friends about the idea and the excitement is contagious he said. See, now you know why it's difficult to curb my enthusiasm

The Picar Standard: Second to None!
We're happy you are visiting our Ara Vista project blog. With all the energy, resources and passion being poured into Ara Vista we are quite honored to be sharing our experiences with the public.
Just under two years ago, the idea of Ara Vista was born. Picar Development tapped the expertise of Jun Palafox's architectural firm Palafox & Associates to take the steps to see the concept manifest from dream to reality.
We were careful and diligent in selecting an Architectural firm. Our primary considerations for the homeowners were practicality, quality, reputability -- A Home one could be proud of.
Architect, Jun Palafox was in high demand at the time. We knew we had to have him. His humbleness and integrity was exactly what was needed to design Ara Vista. His firm settles for nothing but excellence.
Our firm's parent corporation the AMA Group of Companies held the same visions in regards to technology; Mr. Palafox who says,
“Carrying a full-range of services from urban and environmental planning, landscaping to overall architecture and engineering, Palafox Associates finds great aid and support from technology that allows fast and efficient delivery of clients' highly sophisticated requirements.”
We did our homework when choosing an Architectural firm to design the master community of the future at Ara Vista. We are confident we made the right decision. Since we've completed the plans and commenced construction, Palafox has been named Asia's most popular Master Community Designer in an article by Ground Report.
Some of the more notable projects Palafox has designed include ;
