Lofty dreams in South Forbes – Condo lifestyle in the suburbs

The coolest places to live these days are condominiums, the hip pads of urban-dwelling young professionals, young couples, even empty-nesters and retirees. What’s even more cool are the loft-type units where you get the extra space within a space.

You can have the same urban conveniences in a suburban location where the grass is greener and the air is cleaner at South Forbes Golf City, the largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city in the Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay corridor. The project is a recipient of the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, a prestigious property awards program, for Best Golf Community Development.

“Our loft units in both the Golf View Terraces and Scandia Suites are meant for those who are after something different – a less conventional space where residents can be creative and take liberties in molding it to suit their lifestyle and personality,” Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng said.

Edgy location. The location must provide opportunities for work and play, ideally steps away from one’s front door, as well as convenient access to entertainment venues, restaurants and health clubs.

Scandia Suites, South Forbes’ sleek modern Scandinavian-inspired condo, is perfect for yuppies and young families with its strategic location at the convergence of the 5 Clusters of Excellence.

Luxury lofts. Loft-dwellers enjoy being able to cook in a spacious kitchen while mingling with guests without shouting. Aside from an open layout for ease of movement, lofts exude elegance with premium finishes and quality furnishings.

There are four loft unit types to choose from in Scandia Suites: one, two, and three, and four-bedroom units. The option for a fully-furnished unit will come with select furniture with brands known for their quality.

The GVT model loft unit that harks back to the original era of “cool” is one impressive idea on how a loft residence should look. Splashes of bright orange on the throw pillows, dining chairs, dinnerware, add that extra spice to a predominantly white living-dining-kitchen area.

Golf craze. Whether you live in Scandia Suites or the Golf View Terraces, every resident is entitled to free golf membership to the world-class 18-hole South Forbes Golf and Leisure Club at no activation cost.

“As the only affiliate of the IMG Sports Club in the country, South Forbes gives perks such as playing privileges in 42 other golf courses worldwide, including the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco and the Fox Valley Club in New York, among others,” Mr. Ng said.
