Avida Land has launched The Heights Katipunan, its first new standalone residential development in Metro Manila in four years, as it returns to the market with a more selective pipeline.

The Quezon City development, located near major universities and schools, carries a P3.1 billion investment and is scheduled for completion in September 2030.

Big picture 

As Ayala Land’s mid-market residential arm, Avida has focused on higher-quality locations, which has helped it weather ongoing oversupply conditions affecting the mid-market condo segment in Metro Manila. 

Its last standalone project was Patio Madrigal in Pasay City in early 2022. 

By prioritizing locations with proven demand, Avida has kept supply tight where end-user demand remains steady.

Management's view

“The Heights Katipunan continues to be a strong investment location, supported by its role as an education hub and its long-term residential appeal,” said Aris Gonzales, chief operating oficer of Avida Land. 

“The Heights Katipunan is designed to serve both end-users and investors—offering efficient, climate-resilient homes that align with how people live, study, and work today,” he added. 

Key details 

The 33-storey tower will deliver 758 residential units on a 1,833-square-meter site.

Unit types range from studio to two-bedroom layouts sized between 21 and 68 square meters.

Amenities include a swimming pool, gym, study hall, meeting rooms, and a multi-purpose hall, with prices starting at P6.7 million.
