Ananda Square is a modern high rise residential development in Las Piñas City with easy access to major transportation networks.

This award-winning condominium project by Cathay Land provides an ideal location for comfort and convenience in the urban south. It offers a unique experience through its well-planned amenities, smart design, and strategic location, catering to young professionals, new families, and investors alike.

Urban living meets strategic accessibility

The Alabang-Zapote Road, a key arterial route in Las Piñas, connects the area to major cities like Muntinlupa and Bacoor in Cavite. With over 70,000 vehicles passing through this road daily, the route also ensures the development’s viability as a significant residential and commercial hub.

Ananda Square is near major transport hubs such as the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx), Skyway, and Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEx), which allow easy movement to crucial areas like Makati, Alabang, and Cavite. The upcoming LRT-1 extension further strengthens this connectivity, providing residents access to rapid transit through the Las Piñas station.

Thoughtfully designed living spaces

The spacious layout options offered at Ananda Square prioritize comfort without sacrificing style.

Configurations range from studio units at 24 sqm to one-bedroom units at over 32 sqm. The load-bearing design ensures that residents enjoy maximized usable space and layouts free from obstructions.

The penthouse units on the upper floors offer an opportunity to combine adjacent units, adding flexibility and comfort to urban living. With its thoughtful layout, residents can embrace a modern lifestyle that balances work, leisure, and relaxation within the confines of their own homes.

Resort-like amenities in the city

Pocket gardens across various floors bring nature closer to home, providing open spaces where natural light and fresh air circulate freely. Residents can enjoy these tranquil spaces without leaving the building.

One of its development highlights is the Aquatrium, a distinct pool area featuring a pool deck for lounging, a lap pool for swimmers, and a kiddie pool for families with young children. This resort-inspired area creates a sanctuary for residents to unwind after a long day, providing an experience reminiscent of a high-end vacation.

Other amenities include a social hall for gatherings and banquets, a study lounge for professionals and students, and a courtyard for social interactions. Together, these features create a holistic environment that encourages connection and relaxation.

Ideal setting for startups, entrepreneurs

The first three floors are dedicated to commercial spaces, ideal for retail outlets, cafes, grocery stores, and small service providers.

This setup provides a platform for entrepreneurs and business owners to capitalize on the growing demand for essential services within the community. It also allows small business owners to enjoy the benefits of an integrated live-work environment.

Significance of Pag-IBIG accreditation

Ananda Square’s Pag-IBIG accreditation further solidifies its appeal to a broader audience.

Pag-IBIG Fund, as the country’s largest source of home financing, plays a crucial role in helping Filipinos secure home loans with attractive borrowing rates.

The project’s accreditation thus opens doors for buyers looking for financial flexibility, and underscores Cathay Land’s commitment to ensuring homeownership for many Filipinos.
