A sophisticated lifestyle hub, Azuela High Street, has opened on a 25-hectare waterfront property in Davao, which was once one of the country’s largest plywood manufacturing facilities. The hub is located at the heart of Azuela Cove, a joint venture between Ayala Land and The Alcantara Group of Companies. Azuela High Street officially opened on September 26 with a ceremonial launch and Christmas lighting event, attended by key members of the Zobel, Alcantara, and Floirendo families, as well as valued merchants. The event marked the beginning of a new era for the property, which has been transformed into a vibrant landmark reflecting the partnership between the two companies and the aspirations of the people of Davao. Azuela High Street is home to diverse businesses, including dining options, wellness and beauty services, and retail brands. It also features open spaces, lush landscapes, and Mindanao-inspired plazas, making it a welcoming place for families, friends, and pets. The hub has preserved trees, installed a water harvesting facility, and created public art spaces to spark joy and build community. Azuela High Street is inspired by Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City but is proudly Davao’s own, taking its vision further to become a premier lifestyle destination.
