Makati of the South

MANILA, Philippines - As the quality of life continues to progress, residential land developers are keen in pushing all creative boundaries to reinvent sustainable urban communities that will present infinite choices for today’s homebuyers. Leading this innovation is Eton Properties Philippines Inc. (EPPI), the global real estate brand of the Lucio Tan Group, as it embarks in setting unparalleled living requisites at Eton City — its first master-planned township project dubbed as the “Makati of the South”. 

Incorporating areas for business, leisure, and spacious residences for families, Eton City emerges as an exciting, next-generation development. Situated in a sprawling almost 1,000-hectare property along the South Luzon Expressway in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, the much anticipated community hub features a good combination of excellent business location, private residential enclaves and a broad range of commercial and resort-style recreation facilities previously found only in master-planned cities abroad.

Apart from being hailed as the South’s future commercial and industrial giant, Eton City also emerges as the next viable area for land development in Luzon. With travel time lessened and made highly convenient via its own Eton City exit on SLEX and also through the Sta. Rosa exit, the expansive development — master-planned by Baltimore-based architectural firm RTKL and urban planner N.S. Mangio Associates — is inspired by some of the world’s finest next-generation lakeside communities such as The Palm Island and Jumeirah in Dubai, Lake Las Vegas in Nevada and Foster City in California. 

Built with eco-sustainable features, Eton City complements its location’s natural lush terrain with environment-friendly man-made aesthetics. The modern urban oasis also includes purpose-built infrastructures, among which is the placement of aerators. This feature ensures the constant movement of the lake’s water to avoid the breeding of harmful insects like mosquitoes. Special drainage systems would offer total flood-proof assurance to future residents.

 Apart from generous sizes and exclusive leisure amenities, Eton City also contains residential and commercial developments to create an independent economic base for primary necessities such as dependable transport systems to employment opportunities for residents.

The world-class development master plan for Eton City also includes a high-end residential enclave and a 100-hectare central business district that will have medium-rise office buildings for BPOs and retail establishments, shopping malls, hotels and condominiums. As for healthcare and education, the self-contained community will include provisions for schools and medical institutions within close proximity to all neighborhoods.
