South Forbes is for all

MANILA, Philippines - Everyone is definitely glued in to American Idol, one of the most anticipated talent reality shows in the US today, where every singer’s mettle is tested weekly with a different theme, whether by musical genre or artist. Versatility becomes the order of the day, otherwise you are sent home. And it is this trait which is the hallmark of great performers today.

Quite similarly in real estate developments here and abroad, versatility is one top requirement needed to meet the demands and preferences of its buyers and residents. And such is the trademark of South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated, self-sustaining, and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, and recipient of the Best Golf Community Development title by the CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme.

Work Together. Accomplished performers have an arsenal of different styles. Like them, South Forbes’ unique feature is its 5 Clusters of Excellence where its Residential Cluster is supported by the Business, Education, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters.

“This synergy defines the “all-in-one” aspect of South Forbes making it a “hole-in-one” investment,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng.

Travel the Globe. The luxury of taking a glimpse of the world and living it daily is evident in South Forbes’ themed Residential Cluster that incorporates a modern twist to traditional architectural designs and lifestyles unique to a featured city. 

“Let’s face it, every person or family have a liking for a certain architectural style and lifestyle,” Ng said. “And this multi-themed approach offers our buyers dream home.”

With the completion of the quaint Mediterranean Villas, the resort-like Bali Mansions, the Zen Tokyo Mansions, the tropical Phuket Mansions, the fairway-fronting Golf View Terraces, and the sleek Scandia Suites, South Forbes is now a thriving community with residents having moved in and more houses near completion. Watch out for the regal Châteaux de Paris, the chic Miami, and the soaring Sentosa Heights.

Live Your Life. Talents need to be nurtured and there is no better way to nurture that gift than in a place that offers many options on how to live life completely, diversely, and creatively. South Forbes will have a full-time, 24-7 activity/program management team that will design individualized activity programs based on the lifestyle the resident has chosen, including activities categorized into the following: Work-related, Sports and Leisure, Civic-related, Self-improvement, and Rest and Relaxation. As an example, the resident may opt for a 30% work, 50% leisure, 20% civic program lifestyle or any other combination he desires.

Save the Earth. In the performing arts, one has to keep reinventing himself to become more current, just like Madonna and the late Michael Jackson. Learning to adapt is the key.

Climate change has gripped the world, forcing our leaders to take drastic measures in mitigating its effects as well as to review current practices that exacerbate global warming. Mitigation is not the complete solution and our climate will continue to change. Adaptation is the answer.

South Forbes homes are suited for the warm Philippine climate. The Stamford model home at Sentosa Heights, for one, has a small building footprint even with all its four levels. It is even raised to allow for a much cooler interior. And with the whole enclave being surrounded by the golf course, the home becomes a worthy example of green architecture. Other homes like the Ayutthaya in Phuket Mansions with its moat-like reflecting pools contribute to the cooling of the home.

Golf is Good. South Forbes’ world-class 18-hole golf course, from construction to maintenance, is a prime example of environmental sustainability. The grass can rely on saltwater or even greywater which assures residents of an exclusive clean water supply. Its unmatched views from its valleys, forests, and peaks have become the cornerstone of the whole golf course development, not to mention the habitat of many a domestic and migratory birds.

Membership to the South Forbes Golf and Leisure Club comes free with every lot or condominium unit purchase at no activation cost. Members are extended privileged access and special discounts to 42 other sports and golf clubs worldwide through the affiliation shared with the IMG Sports Club.
