The sixth day at South Forbes

MANILA, Philippines - Halfway through the popular Christmas song, the 12 Days of Christmas, we find the urge to count the gifts we have received so far from South Forbes Golf City, master-planned to be the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor.

“You can feel the pride of good master planning in the way the residents feel about their community,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “They own much more than a comfortable home in a beautiful neighborhood. They have a great place to live -- whether they are starting a family, raising children, enjoying a new phase of life as a couple or cherishing their privacy.”

What a truly merry Christmas it is in South Forbes:

Six Geese-a-laying. The bestseller in South Forbes’ Residential Cluster is its Asian line beginning with the thriving enclave of Bali Mansions where residents have moved in houses of their design or the model homes. Either which, the residents have been living out the resort lifestyle.

The other four Asian enclaves include the tranquil Tokyo Mansions, the tropical Phuket Mansions, the soaring Sentosa Heights, and the breathtaking Nirwana Bali.

Living life close to the greens is possible at the modern Asian condominium, Golf View Terraces, where its residents are afforded coveted views of the fairways – the perfect vantage point during a thrilling tournament or just a place to chill out and enjoy the setting on normal days.

Five Gold Rings. South Forbes prides itself in its five Clusters of Excellence which sets it apart from other developments in the country which has earned it international acclaim. It consists of an internationally-themed Residential Cluster supported in synergy by the Education, Business, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters which provides all South Forbes residents with a place to live, study, work, shop, and relax.

Four Calling Birds. If there’s an East, then there must be a West. South Forbes’ Western-inspired enclaves began with the Mediterranean Villas where quaint Spanish villas dot the landscape reminiscent of the Iberian coast.   Its next door neighbors include the regal Châteaux de Paris with its palatial clubhouse and six themed gardens and Miami with its beach-like clubhouse pool deck.

Scandia Suites is South Forbes’ new approach to contemporary condominium living for the fast-paced professional where life is about living within and beyond the space of one’s own home. With the first of two towers completed, the second tower is well on its way.

Three French Hens. All work and no play will make us dull. South Forbes Leisure Cluster provides for three major commercial complexes: the city center which is the retail, entertainment, dining, social, and cultural hub of the whole city, the circumferential zone comprised of the South Boulevard Commercial Strip and the Rodeo Drive where both commercial and other business establishments are located, and Orchard Drive in the Nirwana Bali side where South Forbes also has its main entrance.

Two Turtle Doves. All these and more earned South Forbes the Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, and, the Highly Commended Award for Best Development by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Award.

A Partridge in a Pear Tree. A whole-world-in-one development named South Forbes Golf City must have its centerpiece world-class, 18-hole golf and leisure club where membership comes free at no activation cost.

In fact, through the affiliation shared with the IMG Sports Club, resident-members are entitled to privileged access and special discounts to 42 other golf and sports clubs worldwide.
