A mosaic of South Forbes life

South Forbes Golf City is the country’s largest fully-integrated, self-sustaining, and all-themed golf resort development at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor. It was awarded Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, and, recently, honoured the Highly Commended Award for Best Development by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Awards.

A development with this much acclaim, undoubtedly, carries with it a huge responsibility to its residents of providing them with a complete, yet sustainable, way of life.

“Now, with two awards to our name, we can confidently say that South Forbes Golf City has complied with the international standards of what it takes to be the very best in property development,” said Jeffrey Ng, Cathay Land president. “We will continue to give nothing but the best to our South Forbes residents so that they, in turn, can bring out the best in themselves.”

Living Links. South Forbes’ location in the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor is prime. With the availability and continuous improvement of major infrastructure such as roads, communication systems, and electricity, this region is able to sustain present and future the business and technology parks, educational institutions, and residential developments in the area.

Within the walls of South Forbes, it’s 5 Clusters of Excellence, where the Residential Cluster is complemented by the Education, Business, Wellness, and Leisure Clusters, offers residents a balanced lifestyle with a place to live, learn, work, shop, and play. It creates a synergistic circle for the full benefit of all.

New Urbanism governs the planning and design of South Forbes in order to achieve the benefits of compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian neighborhoods. This way, there is a discernible center where most residences are within 10-minutes walk away, streets within the neighborhood form a connected network which disperses traffic by providing a variety of pedestrian and vehicular routes to any destination, and work and school are close enough so that most everyone can walk from their homes. Automobile dependence is greatly reduced and allows for a more breathable and comfortable environment.

Hearth and Home. The Residential Cluster of internationally-themed enclaves – the quaint Mediterranean Villas, regal Châteaux de Paris, sun-drenched Miami, cozy Bali Mansions, serene Tokyo Mansions, tropical Phuket Mansions, breathtaking Nirwana Bali, and soaring Sentosa Heights — incorporates a modern twist to traditional architectural designs and lifestyles unique to the featured city. You can choose and live the style and lifestyle you want.

Condominium projects include the twin-tower Scandia Suites, a take off on modern Scandinavian design, appeals to the active business executive who wants a stylish unit that is low in up-keep and the fairway-fronting Golf View Terraces for those who want a pad with coveted fairway views.

Brain Food. In general, more education means greater employment options and better job security. “Our Education Cluster will house the best schools and universities from pre-school to post-graduate levels, ensuring that our residents receive proper education to address the fast-changing needs of the present and to face with confidence the unforeseen future,” expressed Ng.

Presently, within easy walking or traveling distance from every South Forbes home are our very own Learning Links Academy of Sta. Rosa offers pre-school to secondary levels with a day care center to boot. South Forbes City Colleges, in partnership with Global City Innovative Colleges, will have modern facilities and equipped with fiber optic connectivity to insure that the future potential applicants and enrollees will be educated and trained on an international standard.

Business and Pleasure. Bridging the Business and Wellness Clusters is the Astoria Plaza – South Forbes Business Hotel and Conference Center that also houses the spa and specialist clinics to serve the wellness requirements of the young, adult, and even the retirees from here and abroad.

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.
