Reap the benefits of working in greener spaces at Filinvest City

Live, work, and play in harmony with nature as Filinvest City leads in the development of green spaces in Metro South. The popular township has a comprehensive, interconnected park system, which will soon be completed with the  inclusion of Creekside Park. 

Communities that have a good balance of urban development and green spaces, lead to higher resident satisfaction rate by 20% according to a report by the Landscape Architecture Foundation. Producing a more engaged workforce as well as higher property values. Offering such balance is a priority in Filinvest Alabang, Inc.’s (FAI) developments, which is highly evident through its flagship township, Filinvest City.

The Green CBD of Metro South

Creating opportunities for a vibrant and sustainable future, FAI has integrated innovative practices for its commercial and residential projects in its visionary township, Filinvest City. Aside from being the central business district of Metro South, it is also the largest green-certified development in Southeast Asia. 

More than aesthetics, Filinvest City’s abundant green spaces is also part of the township’s strategy to come up with ways to reduce energy consumption, conserve water, ultimately leading to an environmentally-friendly urban environment. For its well-thought out sustainability efforts, Filinvest City has been awarded a LEED-Gold Certification for Neighborhood Development from the U.S. Green Building Council as well as a 3-star BERDE certification from the Philippine Green Building Council, reaffirming the township’s commitment to sustainability. “Incorporating green spaces in Filinvest City is our way of giving back to the community. These thoughtfully designed areas provide a walkable and refreshing experience, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy nature and fresh air without leaving the city. We aimed to build a city of progress where people can grow alongside its development. Residents don't need to leave the city to enjoy nature and fresh air—everything is here. Filinvest City is truly a city in harmony with nature,” shared Don-Don Ubaldo, First Vice President-Township, FAI.

He added, “As a developer committed to extensive green integration, we are proud to lead the way in creating a sustainable and vibrant urban community.”

A Park System Like No Other

Filinvest City has invested in its meticulously planned park system since the beginning, setting the township apart from other properties. It is the only township development in the Philippines with a comprehensive, interconnected park system. Ubaldo expounded, “Park system holds special significance to us, because having been integrated to Filinvest City's masterplan long before outdoor spaces became a trend. We are committed to caring for and preserving the vibrant breathing city we have created, continually developing and expanding open spaces like the upcoming Creekside Park to ensure a thriving community for all.”

Filinvest City’s unique park system is comprised of a network of strategically-designed green spaces that have been seamlessly integrated into the thriving urban development, connecting the North and South districts, enhancing quality of life within the city.

Filinvest City’s Central Park, Axis Park, Spectrum Linear Park, River Park, and Water Garden Park each offer unique experiences, varying from community events, recreational activities to tranquil spots for reflection and relaxation.

Here’s a guide on what to expect at each park:

Central Park: located in the heart of Filinvest City, Central Park offers open spaces, community events, recreational activities, bike rentals, Moovr, “East by the Park” food bazaar, a botanical garden, and the upcoming events stage - The Tree.

Filinvest City’s latest addition to its park system is Creekside Park, which will be located in the Spectrum District, surrounding the Alabang River. “We’re excited for the commencement of the construction of Creekside Park as this park will complete our park system that was intentionally part of our masterplan,” said Ubaldo.

Construction of the park began this month and once completed, it will provide residents and visitors with recreational spaces, sitting areas, public art, and serene views of the river. Another highlight of Creekside Park is its designation as a bird sanctuary, hosting 25 documented bird species, further enhancing the city’s biodiversity.
