New Locators. Cebu City Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin
Garcia and Filinvest Land, Inc. AVP Area GM for Cebu John Paul Escario with
deputy GM Engr. Gwen Sala join new locators they welcomed at City di Mare in
South Road Properties. |
New establishments will soon operate at City di Mare (CDM) in South Road Properties (SRP) within the site of the joint venture of the Cebu City Government with Filinvest.
CDM welcomed these businesses with Cebu City Acting
Mayor Raymond Alvin N. Garcia recently at the CDM Visitors Center, a
partnership that marks a new formative period at SRP.
These include outlets of Jollibee, Chowking and Bo's
Coffee, a Caltex gasoline station, a golf
driving range, and soccer fields that TGR Football Academy will operate.
“We are very happy that you are already here because
your presence will stimulate further growth and enhance the economy in this
area,” Garcia said.
“People will be attracted to this place because you
are here. That’s why I am so happy and extremely thankful to our locators who
took a chance and trusted us by staying in what was once unfamiliar territory,”
he added.
The mayor compared this new wave of investments to the
bold move by the City and Filinvest to start developing SRP in 2008 when the
area was still largely undeveloped.
Garcia assured the locators that the local government
is committed to maintaining a business-friendly environment. “The city
government will fully support your efforts to grow your businesses here in SRP,” he said.

“We are thrilled to welcome our new locators who have chosen to ride this wave of growth and become part of the New Cebu City,” said Don-Don Ubaldo, first vice president for Filinvest Township.
“We are excited about the success this partnership
will bring and the positive impact it will have on the community,” he added.
“These new establishments will enrich the CDM
experience by offering more choices and
elevating the overall quality of life here. It’s all about creating a community
where the people can live more comfortably and conveniently, with access to
everything they need.” he pointed out.
He said he looks forward to more locators following
and thriving alongside the growth of SRP through CDM’s properties.
Ubaldo expressed confidence that CDM now has the
momentum for accelerated growth and development with investors finding a
valuable opportunity to benefit from the drive in a prime landscape and a
thriving dynamic environment.
Live-work-play
Jollibee, Chowking, and Bo's Coffee will open
stand-alone stores, each with a drive-thru, offering direct access to Cebu South
Coastal Road (CSCR).
Additionally, Caltex will be the first gasoline
station at SRP, serving the fueling needs of vehicles in the area.
“What’s great is that these new locators won’t just
make life more convenient for locals and travelers; they’re also going to drive
more foot traffic into CDM,
benefiting both the businesses here and the community around us,” said Engr.
Gwen Sala, deputy general manager of CDM.
Ubaldo also shared that the new TGR Football Academy
and Future Golf Driving Range “will bring exciting recreational options to
CDM’s fitness community and the sports enthusiasts in Metro Cebu.”
The football field with a skills training academy will
be operated by nationally known champion coach Tomasito “Glen” Ramos, current
head coach of the Greywolves of Don Bosco Technical College - Cebu.
Ramos also coaches the official football teams of Cebu City and Central Visayas that
have become champions in various CViRAA and Palarong Pambansa events and other
tournaments, including those organized by the Philippine Football Federation
and Central Visayas Football Association.
To further cater to the diverse community of CDM, IL
Corso Lifestyle Mall across CSCR, has been a preferred site for bikers,
skateboarders, skaters, joggers, and brisk walkers.
With Amalfi and Sanremo residential
clusters, CDM continues to have a strong community presence, solidifying its
live-work-play lifestyle, and offering everything one needs to live a full life
within a single city.
Sala noted that the new locators found value in the
high-traffic volume along CSCR, where Cebu’s north and south meet and cross each
other with direct access between the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, and Talisay,
Access through the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway
(CCLEX) bridge to and from Lapu-Lapu City and Cordova in Mactan Island also
passes through CSCR with CDM seated right in the heart of SRP.
