Clusters of excellence

After becoming the fastest selling golf residential community in the country today, South Forbes Golf City shifts into a higher gear as it seeks to form "Clusters of Excellence."

Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng recently announced that South Forbes’ Residential Cluster will be complemented by the Education, Business, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters. "The synergistic contributions of all of these clusters will not only make South Forbes a world-class fully integrated golf resort city. More important, these will help bring about a better quality of life for our privileged residents," Ng promised.

He foresees an Education Cluster that will house the best universities, schools, and specialized institutions such as nursing and IT schools. Altogether, these institutions will be the training ground for the manpower requirements of call center and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in the future South Forbes Cyberpark and in the nearby Laguna Technopark. "Our Education Cluster also strengthens Metro Sta. Rosa’s strategic position as the University Belt of the South," Ng added.

The Business Cluster, which includes the South Forbes Cyberpark, will feature world-class, built-to-specifications buildings suited for BPOs and call centers. "These will enable our residents and their adult children to build careers within the growing city of South Forbes," according to Ng. He also hinted that his company may relocate its corporate offices within the Business Cluster in the near future.

A Wellness Cluster is also being planned to include top hospitals, spas, and specialist clinics to serve the wellness requirements of the young, adult, and even of retiree residents. "This is one important step in helping achieve Cathay Land’s vision, to help bring about a better quality of life for our clientele," Ng reiterated.

The Leisure Cluster will consist of South Forbes’main attraction: the 18-hole South Forbes Golf Club designed by the International Management Group (IMG), Asia’s leading golf course designer. A business-resort hotel; badminton, basketball, tennis, and squash courts; swimming pools, Jacuzzi, and other amenities make up the top-notch facilities at the Leisure Cluster.

Currently, South Forbes is focusing on the continued development and innovative home ideas on offer at its Residential Cluster. This consists of world-class themed projects like the charming homes at Mediterranean Villas, the resort-inspired residences at Bali Mansions, and the Zen community of Tokyo Mansions. Golf View Terraces offers spectacular vistas of the South Forbes fairways, while the Esplanade is ideal for business-minded individuals who want to grow a business and raise a family in a convenient manner.

Over the next few months, South Forbes’ Residential Cluster will welcome another world-class development that which will further excite buyers and investors. Chateaux de Paris will feature French Modern residences that will appeal to the fashionable and forward-looking set.

As a bonus, all South Forbes lot and condominium unit owners get a free membership, at absolutely no activation fee, to the South Forbes Golf Club. Its affiliation with the exclusive golf club of IMG SportsClub gives South Forbes members unmatched perks: discounts and playing privileges in 42 top golf courses in Asia, Europe, and North America.
