Finding a new horizon in South Forbes


Manila Bulletin
January 27, 2010

“Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all, where the air you breathe is soft and clean, and children play in fields of dream?” goes a line from an old Burt Bacharach song referring to the Lost Horizon – Shangri-La .

Had it been composed today, it may as well be referring to South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated, self-sustaining, and all-themed golf resort city that had earned the Best Golf Community Development honor by the CNBC International Property Awards, a prestigious property awards program.

New city. A new place always brings new hopes and new beginnings to anyone who looks for it. Today, no other place in the country can compare to the booming Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay corridor, touted as the new metropolis after Makati or Alabang.

For the freshman entrepreneur, this region has become the ideal place to set up business with the availability of major infrastructure such as roads, communication systems, and electricity. Around the area are technology parks, educational institutions, and residential developments.

South Forbes is a city within a city, complete with all the integral parts of a well-rounded development as seen in its 5 Clusters of Excellence: a Residential Cluster supported by the Education, Business, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters.

Classy communities. South Forbes’ main and incomparable feature is its international-themed Residential Cluster – a community of cultures, so to speak.

Dubbed “The Whole World in One City,” this community offers an array of the world’s best lifestyles and designs in its many enclaves. Those who prefer the Asian style, something closer to the heart, will find their dream homes in the resort-inspired Bali Mansions or Nirwana Bali, the serene Tokyo Mansions, the tropical Phuket Mansions or Phuket Estates, or the soaring Sentosa Heights.

Western charm is alive at the quaint Mediterranean Villas, the regal Châteaux de Paris, or the chic Miami. Condominium living with all the creature comforts is available at the sleek Scandia Suites or the fairway-fronting Golf View Terraces.

Peace of mind. Every parent’s responsibility is the welfare of his children. Aside from providing the basics of food, clothing, and shelter, quality education is of paramount importance. A complete educational structure is provided within this community starting from pre-school through high school at the Learning Links Academy of Sta. Rosa, and tertiary levels at the South Forbes City Colleges.

South Forbes encourages its residents to walk safely and enjoyably through its pedestrian-friendly and highly-landscaped New Urbanist master plan.

Flexi life. Leisure has become a greater priority now more than ever. South Forbes’ Health and Wellness program includes personalized activities at the clubhouse in each themed enclave, the City Center, the social and entertainment hub, the Astoria Plaza–South Forbes, and the Sports and Country Club.

Nature’s way. With over 50 hectares of fairway located within its hills and forests dedicated to a world-class 18-hole golf course, residents are assured of a clean and green environment. Here, the air is fresh to breathe and the climate is maintained cool – unlike the concrete jungle that is Metro Manila.

Membership to the South Forbes Golf and Leisure Club comes free at no activation cost.
