MANILA, Philippines - People, they say, are like stained glass windows. They glow and sparkle when it is sunny and bright; but when the sun goes down, their true beauty is revealed only when there is light from within. Cities, quite similarly, fulfill their true purpose when they not only look impressive, but also, through their inner workings, able to bring out the best in their residents.
South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, takes pride in its planning and architecture which are encapsulated in its 5 Clusters of Excellence. This unique feature has been recognized by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, and, recently, by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Awards, with the Best Golf Community Development title and the Highly Commended Award for Best Development respectively.
No Weak Links. South Forbes, where the ideal of “live-work-play-shop-learn” is present through the 5 Clusters of Excellence, is a satellite city where people can build their lives -- where they can make social connections, educate their children, obtain the goods and services that meet their daily needs, and earn their livelihoods -- all within one community. This is sustainable living.
“Our ‘5 Clusters of Excellence’ is our award-winning feature where our international-themed Residential Cluster is in synergy with the Education, Business, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters,” shared Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng.
Heart and Home. Gated communities add a touch of distinction. Homeowners will feel that they are a part of a community -- an idealized small town where everyone knows and cares about each other. South Forbes’ Residential Cluster of internationally-themed neighborhoods and condominiums incorporates a modern twist to traditional architectural designs and lifestyles unique to a featured city.
“Through a design concept called contained diversity, our themed enclaves maintains its individual charm yet collectively add color to the whole development without it looking like a theme park,” added Ng.
The Touch of Class. South Forbes assures the continuation of quality education within the city walls. Early education until the secondary level will be provided in the Learning Links Academy of Sta. Rosa while the tertiary level will carry on in South Forbes City Colleges. Nearby schools include DLSU-Canlubang, St. Scholastica’s College, Don Bosco, the Ateneo Post-graduate School, and Brent International.
South Forbes’ very own Cyberpark, the business hub of the city, will feature world-class, built-to-specifications buildings suited for BPOs and call centers that will enable residents and their adult children to build careers within the city confines.
“It has been registered under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) so that all our locator investors are entitled to special incentives, to include an income tax holiday between four to six years among others,” Ng said.
South Forbes is in collaboration with the Southern Luzon Hospital & Medical Center, a full service medical center providing emergency, intensive care, out-patient, in-patient, dental and diagnostic services all under one roof. Its fully-integrated approach assures that every person has immediate access to qualified medical specialists and services when and where they are needed.
