Filinvest City, the premier garden central business district in the Metro South, recently opened two other sections of its Spectrum Linear Park, a foliage-canopied walkway that spans across the north and south ends of the township, as it further promotes a more fun, active lifestyle.

Since its opening last year, Filinvest City’s Spectrum Linear Park has been drawing a steady stream of people who enjoy it’s close to one-kilometer span. Now accessible via vehicles, this span is accentuated by tree-lined, landscaped pathways, lighted seating areas, and stimulating outdoor art installations. To make it more enjoyable for employees, residents, and guests, a free Wi-Fi access powered by Smart Communications can now be experienced at the park.

Whereas one part of the park is more linear and traditional in design—the area being nearest to the office blocks—the new portion is envisioned to be more playful, serving as transition from the business side of the development to its softer, garden side. Another section, meanwhile, presents fewer hardscapes—that is, walkways and path pavers—and offers more foliage, trees, and greenery for a truly relaxing environment. This then transitions to the soon-to-be-constructed Creekside Park, which boasts of a ‘living creek’ on top of a thriving bird habitat.

With all these eco-centric innovations, the Spectrum Linear Park will serve as a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city living—a place where people can come together, take a break, enjoy outdoor activities, and have a healthy dose of nature while in the metro. This also proves that a balanced urban masterplan, as espoused by Filinvest City where all the components of a thriving township is complimented by open spaces and pedestrian-friendly features likewide sidewalks and bike lanes, is possible.

“A key element in our plan is the enhancement of existing open spaces into functional ones like parks. It is through this that we aim to provide city dwellers a smarter, more sustainable township,” relates Filinvest Alabang, Inc. senior vice president for townships Don S. Ubaldo. “While we already have all the components of a thriving community, wein Filinvest City still believe that lush, open spaces are a kind of luxury that will continue to attract locators and investors.”

The Filinvest Group, backed by its six decades of industry experience, continuously proves to be a progressive urban development, one that effectively fuses the needs of people, nature, and commerce. It is no wonder then that many have chosen to call Filinvest City their home.

Located just across the Quest Hotel and Conference-Clark, it is a place for respite that features a verdant landscaping with a profusion of trees and gazebos where one can sit down and relish the relaxing environs. It is a perfect spot for having a picnic and even for stargazing. Families and friends can also enjoy more outdoor and recreational activities as Filinvest Mimosa+ purposely integrated foliage-canopied walking paths and bike lanes in its progressive masterplan. The Acacia Park—where fresh air and clear skies can be savored—marks the beginning of Filinvest’s vision to transform the Mimosa estate into a green township.

A masterplan like no other

Other exciting future attractions at Filinvest Mimosa+ is the $200-million world-class integrated gaming complex, a lifestyle mall and an al fresco retail strip that will offer specialty boutiques and unique dining concepts, and a sprawling Events Grounds and the Mimosa+ Events Pavilion that are set to host some of the country’s biggest music festivals, summits, and conferences.

For the second year in a row, Filinvest Alabang, Inc. (FAI) was hailed as one of the 2017 BCI Asia Awards’ Top Ten Developers in the Philippines in ceremonies held recently at the Shangri-La Fort.

FAI, Filinvest Development Corporation’s arm that specializes in townships and high-end residential developments, is the company behind Filinvest City in Alabang, the premier master-planned central business district (CBD) that is transforming living and working in the south and its neighboring locales. It is also the moving force behind the Parkway Corporate Center in Filinvest City, the first office condominium under the WorkSpaces by Filinvest banner that offers office units for sale in a dynamic, premium location.

Both projects exemplify FAI’s ability to take on a diverse development portfolio, recognizing its expertise in undertaking master-planned communities of varying scales and concepts.

Filinvest City is further leveling up the Southern lifestyle as it revolutionizes mixed use townships, integrating authentic green living in its masterplan. It is bolstering its stature as an unrivaled garden city via the introduction of lush, landscaped parks, bike lanes, and other eco-centric enhancements. This is on top of a thriving bird habitat, a living creek, a bike trail, and tree-canopied road networks.

With Filinvest City becoming a true green township, land values continue to increase, thus becoming a very good option for businesses to flourish. As such, FAI introduces the 32-storey Parkway Corporate Center that is now fast under construction at Filinvest City, Alabang. A future-ready office space, Parkway Corporate Center offers intelligent space planning and modern building facilities including a glass curtain wall that is double-glazed with a low-e coating. This prevents heat and UV radiation, resulting in cost and energy efficiency.

These accolades stand as a testament to the vision of the late Andrew L. Gotianun, who founded Filinvest in 1963. Since then, the company has been blazing trails in the highly competitive world of real estate, introducing innovative projects that are responsive to the ever-changing needs of the times – delivering on commitments and forging unwavering trust in the industry.

The BCI Asia Award, which was started in 2003, has successfully placed itself among the most sought-after awards for the Asian building and design industry. Held in seven Asian territories—Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam—the Top Ten Awards recognizes developer and architecture firms with the highest value portfolios of projects during the last full calendar year.

Recent reports from international broker firms indicate that as of the fourth quarter of 2016, demand for office space in Metro Manila has remained strong. While developments are largely concentrated in other parts of the National Capital Region, Alabang remains a highly attractive location, owing to its proximity to the progressive CALABARZON and adjacent communities teeming with talents for the labor pool.

Addressing this need is the 32-storey Parkway Corporate Center, the first office condominium under the WorkSpaces by Filinvest banner that offers investors pre-selling office units for sale in a dynamic environment.

It is fast reinforcing its stature as the ultimate green city – sustainable, pedestrian friendly, and eco-centric.

Designed by H1 Architecture and Design, recognized as one of the top ten architectural firms in the country today, the state-of-the-art Parkway Corporate Center comes with units averaging 36 square meters in size, allowing for flexibility and combinability depending on the need, which is perfect for boutique companies and SMEs averaging six to 30 employees. Companies in need of bigger spaces have the option of taking whole floors allowing for even greater flexibility.

As a future-ready premium office tower, Parkway Corporate Center offers intelligent space planning and modern building facilities such as six high speed elevators, 24-hour security with CCTV cameras in strategic areas, 100% back-up power, and an advanced fiber optic backbone. Additionally, Parkway Corporate Center’s glass curtain wall is double-glazed with a low-e coating that prevents heat and UV radiation, resulting in cost and energy efficiency.

Artist’s perspective of Parkway Corporate Center

For investors, Parkway Corporate Center presents a unique opportunity to own an office unit and is an excellent investment, one that is sure to appreciate over time. Plus, being a pre-selling project, you can acquire a unit at a lower purchase price with term payments. This allows you to prudently manage your investment costs for maximum returns.

And once Parkway Corporate Center is complete, with a target date of 2019, you can enjoy steady leasing income and even higher returns – a sure return of investment! For small-to-medium enterprises, meanwhile, Parkway Corporate Center allows you to have an office of your own in a sleek, modern structure – a future landmark – that’s situated in a prestigious address.
