South Forbes toasts 2011

MANILA, Philippines - Nine out of ten Filipinos, in recent news, look forward to 2011 with much hope and confidence -- the highest in many years. With that much positive outlook in the Philippines today, there is more reason to believe that many can finally wake up to fulfilling their dreams, perhaps have that dream home they’ve always wanted for themselves and their families.

That dream home can be built nowhere else but in a dream city like 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, recipient of the Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, and, recently, the Highly Commended Award for Best Development by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Award.

“At this stage of its development, South Forbes is no longer a dream city but a thriving reality,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “Many of our enclaves are fully completed and many of our buyers, to our pleasure, have moved in.”

Warmth. When South Forbes was launched, it unveiled its pilot project, the Mediterranean Villas, an enclave of quaint Spanish-inspired homes, exuding the warmth of the Iberian coast. Now, there are more enclaves which feature unique cultures and styles in fusion with our own Filipino sensibilities.

Close to the Filipino heart is the Asian style. And South Forbes features several in its line of themed enclaves: the cozy Bali Mansions, the tranquil Tokyo Mansions, the tropical Phuket Mansions, the soaring Sentosa Heights, and the fairway-fronting Golf View Terraces.

Friendship. Clubhouses are the perfect venues to share quality moments with the family, but more importantly, to meet neighbors that make a lively and loving community. 2010 saw the completion of two of the most impressive clubhouses in the region, if not the whole country.

The Phuket Mansions clubhouse reflects the magnificence of Thai architecture with exposed structural members wrapped in wood, an impressive high-pitched tiled roof, all on a stone base that extends from the carport to the infinity-edge pool which is surrounded by the forest beyond.

Nature. South Forbes is for environmental preservation. And so it maintains its largest open space: the world-class, 18-hole golf course. It uses the Sea Isle Paspalum Supreme which can survive on the harshest water conditions, and in turn reserves clean water for human consumption.

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