Alabang originated in 1972, when the Madrigal family offered its 4.2 km2 (1.6 sq mi) of land for sale to the Ayala Corporation. Instead of making the purchase, the Ayala Corporation went into a joint real estate development venture with the Madrigal family.
The Madrigal family agreed in principle to Ayala’s proposal in 1975 and actual work on the area started in 1976. The number of buyers exceeded the number of lots for sale and more parcels of land had to be bought from various owners in the adjacent areas.
Ayala Corporation developed the village phase by phase. Phase 1 of the New Alabang Village was offered for sale to the public in 1977. Buyers have to abide strictly to Ayala’s standards and restriction. The first three residents of the village were Mr. & Mrs. Joselito Santos, Mr. & Mrs. Jose Escalante, and Mr. Howard Newhard.
Alabang Village now stands on 6.7 km2 (2.6 sq mi) of land about 18 kilometers (11 mi) south of Makati and about 20 minutes drive on the South Luzon Expressway. 30% is alloted to parks, schools, roads, playgrounds, churches. The village is an integrated community, bounded by two bodies of water, Manila Bay and Laguna Bay.
