Filinvest has taken another step in responding to demands of co-living spaces with The Crib – a three-tower development along Corporate Woods Avenue that offers affordable yet comfortable and secure residence for students and employees, particularly those studying and working within the vicinity of Filinvest City.

The first to rise is The Crib’s Tower A, an 11-storey building that offers a fun, hip alternative to old-style dormitories with full amenities to support and complement the busy, active lifestyles of millennials. It is designed for people who are just starting to live independently and looking for a second home that is customizable to suit their preferences, but without sacrificing their personal enjoyment and needs.

Ideal for those who want to explore their unique styles and express their creativity and independence in fun ways, The Crib features common areas with free Wi-Fi such as a peaceful study area, a lounge area that has a pantry area where people can gather and collaborate creatively, while each unit is airconditioned and fully furnished with built in closets, comfortable beds and storage spaces for each tenant. They will also feel safe and secure with their own RFID personal keycards, 24-hour security service and CCTV installed in strategic areas.

“The Crib was developed in response to the increasing demand for decent yet affordable long-term accommodations that offer hotel-like amenities, and near schools or workplaces of individuals whose primary residences are far,” says Filinvest Alabang Inc. president Catherine Ilagan. “More importantly, they will have more time to enjoy what truly matters in their journey as young adults.”

Strategically located at Bloc 10 beside Far Eastern University within the live, work, play community of Filinvest City, The Crib allows its tenants to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. It is also right beside The Crib Mall and is a walk away from Asian Hospital, transport hubs, as well as lifestyle, dining and entertainment centers such as the Festival Mall and WestGate. Easy access to green, open spaces that are ideal for recreational and fitness activities also promote wellness and a sense of community.

Ensuring that The Crib lives up to its name as a world class development, Filinvest has tapped top global consultants and partners who have collaborated with some of their iconic developments, including H1 Architecure and Designs, Metro Stonerich as the general contractor, and International Trading Corporation. 

The Crib, with its fresh, one-of-a-kind living concept, is definitely a welcome development in the fast-growing and changing the urban landscape of Metro South.

Filinvest City’s enhanced masterplan gets green light

Filinvest City, Filinvest Alabang, Inc.’s (FAI) flagship central business district (CBD) in Metro South, has received government approval for its enhanced masterplan that harmonizes modern conveniences and nature through more sustainable and green-oriented features.

With the go-ahead, Filinvest City can now fully implement plans for additional open spaces to transform them into functional areas like parks. In the pipeline are the Central Park and Creekside Park, which will strengthen Filinvest City’s image as a true green community.

A progressive CBD with the highest potential value, Filinvest City keeps in step with the needs of contemporary city dwellers by using the best practices in urban planning.

The innovations are deliberately designed to make the development a model township where businesses will grow sustainably. At the signing ceremonies were (seating from left) Filinvest Land, Inc.

Filinvest Mimosa+: Revitalizing leisure destinations up north

With exceptional amenities set amidst an abundance of greens, Filinvest Mimosa+ Leisure City, the newest integrated township in the north, is fast-becoming the preferred destination for vacations in Clark, Pampanga.

Centerpiece attractions

The sophisticated Quest Hotel and Conference Center-Clark and the award-winning Mimosa Golf Course—all harmoniously co-existing with rich flora and mature trees in the estate—are considered the current centerpiece attractions on Filinvest Mimosa+’s well-maintained 201-hectare expanse. As they collectively preserve the impressive Filinvest Mimosa+ environment, these two tourism-oriented properties continuously attract visitors seeking fine accommodations or a challenging round of golf.

The premium Quest Hotel and Conference Center-Clark

In keeping with Filinvest Mimosa+’s commitment to be the top leisure destination in the north, the Quest Hotel and Conference Center-Clark is now undergoing extensive renovations to maintain its world-class status. But more than this, the hotel is a favorite for staycations with their well-appointed rooms, the signature Mequeni restaurant, where guests can indulge in some of the most famous Kapampangan dishes, the Charley’s Bar, where guests can choose from a wide selection of craft cocktails, wines, and champagnes, as well as the swimming pool which has become every kid’s favorite. Villa living is also taken to the next level at Filinvest Mimosa+ with its two new opulent Grand Villas, each offering three bedrooms, a living area, grand bathroom, and private swimming pool that overlooks the estate’s greeneries. For an even more luxurious and personalized experience, a personal butler is assigned to each villa.

The award-winning Mimosa Golf Course

The Mimosa Golf Course and its attractive promo packages

The Mimosa Golf Course of two par-72, 18-hole courses cover a total over 150 hectares, more than half of the whole estate. This legendary golf course has played host to a number of prestigious tournaments and top golfers, including Tiger Woods. As a membership-free golf course, it continues to attract a strong base of returning guests of varying skill sets, as they enjoy every challenging hole. Every month, the club also offers irresistible golf promotions including a sumptuous weekend brunch by the greens.

One of these is the Mimosa Summer Swing package—available until July 31, 2018, with rates that start at Php 6,550.00. The Mimosa Summer Swing package offers an activity-filled summer vacay for the whole family. This includes a stay at the Quest Hotel and Conference Center-Clark, green fee for 18-holes golf play at the Mimosa Golf Course, consumable food and beverage at the Q by Mimosa, and access to the pool and other hotel amenities.

The newly developed Acacia Park at Filinvest Mimosa+ Leisure City

The verdant Acacia Park

Another point of pride of Filinvest Mimosa+ is the newly developed nature sanctuary called the Acacia Park. 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.

As Filinvest Mimosa+ progressively works toward putting all four components—leisure, business, nature, and hospitality and residence—in place, no doubt, it will soon be the premier destination in the north.
