The Charm of Leisure-Inspired Living Outside Metro Manila

For many years, city dwellers have been enjoying the exciting environment of urban life, with many conveniences just within reach. But recent developments have been showing a shift in mindset and behavior with many urban residents attracted to a more tranquil, nature-filled environment offered by leisure-inspired homes outside the city center.

Even before the surge in demand for options outside Metro Manila, luxury real estate brand Filigree saw the potential of Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark, Pampanga as the perfect address for a golf residential community offering the best in modern luxury living outside the city center. Located just beside an award-winning golf course with two 18- hole courses, Golf Ridge Private Estate by Filigree is set to offer the ultimate country club lifestyle inside the master planned township.

Anyone considering relocating inside Filinvest Mimosa Plus will have easy access to the nearby Clark International Airport making them a flight away from international and local leisure destinations, and access to major roads such as NLEX and TPLEX connecting them to other urban centers in Luzon.

 

Given the fully integrated, centered on leisure, masterplan of Filinvest Mimosa Plus, future residents of Golf Ridge will enjoy a holistic lifestyle with access to modern amenities and conveniences even without leaving the township. Everything they need is just a stroll away from their home. From sprawling spaces with mature trees, lush open parks, retail establishments, workspaces that will house private and government offices, and an award-winning golf course, residents will live in a healthy and complete live-work-play neighborhood.

 

Units vary from 2-bedroom with unit sizes ranging from 128 to 139 sqm to a 3-bedroom with unit sizes ranging from 187 to 252 sqm, all having unequalled, and unique picturesque views of the Mimosa Golf Course or the vibrant landscapes of the township. As an extension of the units, the property’s well-crafted amenities further reinforce the elevated country club lifestyle. The residents can run laps in the infinity pool, unwind at the outdoor lounge area, hold intimate gatherings in the function room, and finally enjoy a round of tee on the nearby golf course.

Signed a deal to start at Parkway is SONAK Corporation, the official distributor of popular Japanese sports brands such as Onitsuka, Mizuno and Asics, in the Philippines. The company has already leased two floors at Parkway.

“We’re very happy to be headquartered at Parkway Corporate Center while our recently purchased commercial lot in Northgate Cyberzone is being developed.

Golf Ridge Private Estate Marks First Pouring Milestone

Central Luzon is shaping up to be the next best destination for people searching for a peaceful, unhurried lifestyle, surrounded by the beauty of nature, and the convenience of urban living, thanks to new developments like the Golf Ridge Private Estate by luxury real estate brand Filigree.

Soon to rise within the thriving Filinvest Mimosa+ in Clark, Pampanga, Golf Ridge Private Estate is the most premium residential golf community in Central Luzon that recently celebrated its first pouring milestone shortly after its groundbreaking last October 2022.

“Following the successful project developments of Filigree in Filinvest City in Alabang, we’re very thrilled to expand our portfolio to bring our exacting and masterful approach to planning and design in Clark,” said Filigree head Daphne Sanchez.

Filigree’s first luxury condominium outside of Metro Manila is designed to target the varying tastes and needs of the discerning few. For one, investors who are looking for a valuable real estate investment can find that Golf Ridge Private Estate is a winning proposition, foremost because of its main feature: The picturesque view of the neighboring 128-hectare Mimosa Plus Golf Course, hailed as the Philippines’ Best Golf Course for the year 2022 by the World Golf Awards.

According to David Faulkner, managing director for Valuation and Advisory Services at Colliers Asia, golf courses generally boost property prices. “Residential communities with golf courses are popular in the Philippines,” he said. This can be seen in Golf Ridge whose value appreciation already reached 45.44% since its 2019 launch.

This is further strengthened by the property’s unparalleled design and amenities helmed by renowned architectural firm Leandro V. Locsin Partners with Andy Locsin at the helm. Golf Ridge highlights its country club-like features and amenities to help residents rejuvenate and enhance their health and well-being right at their doorstep. Residents can relax and unwind amid a slew of well-curated facilities including a fully-equipped Fitness Center, infinity pool, landscaped gardens, and outdoor lounge.

Golf Ridge also offers generous living spaces where each unit has an amply-sized balcony that gives a commanding, borrowed view of the Mimosa Plus Golf Course. Designed to cater to people of varying lifestyles, Golf Ridge offers one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units, and three-bedroom units.

On top of these appealing features, Golf Ridge also enjoys the benefits of being strategically located in Clark, Pampanga. Life essentials are within reach of the property, including leisure sites, medical hubs, and reputable learning sites. Not only that, the city is currently displaying rapid economic growth because of the implementation of infrastructure projects including railways, expressways, transportation, and airports. Colliers predicts that these big-ticket projects will boost residential demand in Pampanga, and will be supported by the continuous developments of integrated townships like the Filinvest Mimosa+.

Apart from that, many international businesses are already choosing Pampanga as the preferred location to grow their businesses. There’s the Dito Community in Clark Global City, while Singaporean firms are also keen on investing in the Filinvest Innovation Park in New Clark City. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is also currently pitching North Luzon as a manufacturing and logistics hub, further highlighting growth opportunities within the area.

At Filinvest Mimosa+, end-users and investors planning to relocate outside the congested urban areas will enjoy the live-work-play environment of the development. The majority of the property is made up of sprawling open spaces where mature trees and well-maintained green landscapes soften the glass and concrete buildings that are home to corporate offices, restaurants, malls, golf, and gaming establishments.

With model units soon ready to be viewable, future residents of Golf Ridge Private Estate can visit the property, which is easily accessible with only a comfortable two-hour drive to and from Metro Manila via major highways such as the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx), and the newly developed Skyway Stage 3. It is only a 10-minute drive to Clark International Airport.

Healthy Living Amid Nature is Possible in the City

The pandemic has completely changed the ways of the world—from the way people live to how companies handle their business. But as everyone continues to experience the many changes in the new normal, one of the industries that have managed to remain resilient, and enduring is real estate. Even more so, it remains to be a stable and tangible asset that only appreciates over time. 

One developer, in particular, continues to be valuable even amid the pandemic and beyond: luxury real estate brand, Filigree, who continues to lead the way in building investment-worthy homes with focus on living experience and wellness. Showcasing these qualities is its flagship development, Botanika Nature Residences in Filinvest City, Alabang.

Going beyond green

The pandemic has put sustainability and access to nature at the forefront. Now, more and more homeowners are opting to have homes that are healthy and as close to nature as possible. 

At Botanika, aesthetic, functionality, and sustainability are seamlessly integrated into the building features to become more efficient, especially in the time of crisis. For one, the building utilizes energy and water-efficient fixtures to cut down on utility building costs. This can be seen in the glass sun-roofed atrium, low flow faucets, dual flush toilets, to name a few. Likewise, all over the development, residents can also enjoy a better circulation of airflow, thanks to the lush and landscaped areas all over the development, from the atrium landscape, central gardens, and plant boxes along the hallways. In the time of social distancing, the building’s single-loaded hallways ensure lesser chances for residents to come across each other. To encourage sustainable means of transportation, the building provides bike racks and shower rooms, made specifically for cyclists.  

 

It is because of these unique condominium living features that Botanika was awarded a 4-star BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence Certification) rating. At least 70 percent of its total land area is dedicated to open space, resembling village living that usually features abundant spaces. 

 

Further cementing its position as a frontrunner in green living, Botanika is strategically located at the most exclusive portion of Filinvest City, Alabang, the first and only township with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold in Neighborhood Development certification in the Philippines. As a self-sustaining community, Botanika residents don’t need to travel far to enjoy abundant open spaces. Likewise, being in a walkable garden city, residents can thrive in a healthy, green and walkable community with easy access to all of life’s essentials like world-class medical facilities, major business establishments, shopping and commercial centers, and prestigious educational institutions. 

A comfortable home 

 

A collaborative project of renowned designers Architecture International, Leandro V. Locsin Partners, AECOM Singapore, Miaja Design Group, and Periquet Galicia Inc. for unit space planning of the second tower, Botanika offers generous living spaces and well-curated amenities made to promote comfort, good health, and excellent quality of life for its current and future residents. 

Meanwhile, its spacious units were designed to anticipate the owners’ distinctive lifestyle. The move-in ready Tower 1 ranges from ±125-221 sqm with 2BR to 3BR, while Tower 2, which is now on pre-selling, widens the variety, bringing into the mix, one-bedroom units at a generous size of ±72 sqm, and four-bedroom bi-level units ranging from ±265-322 sqm, complete with grand lanais that blur the lines between units and outdoors. One of the significant features of Tower 2 is that each unit offers deeper lanais at 2.6 meters to allow a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This is especially important during the pandemic where residents are encouraged to stay at home as much as possible. 

A rewarding investment

 

With Filinvest City, enjoying a compounded annual growth rate of more than 20 percent in the last 10 years, Botanika is also experiencing this advantage with its increase in capital value at 112% since its launch. In addition, the prevailing lease rate for Tower 1 starts from P135,000 and P200,000 for 2BR and 3BR units respectively.

With Tower 1 units already ready for occupancy, Tower 2 units are now on pre-selling. By the time of its completion, the unit’s value will increase considerably, making it a winning proposition for investors or end-users looking for a nature-inspired and future-ready home. 

Botanika Nature Residences is a top-end residential development in Filinvest City, Alabang that offers a unique approach to condominium living with its wide-open spaces and its green and sustainable features that resemble village living.

More than half of its total land area is dedicated to lush, open spaces where families will experience a more revitalizing ambiance daily, significantly improving their overall well-being.
