The Gotianun-led property giant Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) is ramping up the development of its 58-hectare City di Mare township in Cebu City.
In a statement last week, the developer said it would add new open civic spaces and better access features for pedestrians.
“We recognize the importance of civic spaces and in-city mobility enhancing the quality of life for Cebuanos,” Don Ubaldo, first vice president for Filinvest Townships, said in the statement.
“Thus, FLI is committed to creating a thriving community at City di Mare in Cebu City. As part of our dedication to the city’s goals, we will be developing these new features to benefit the community,” he added.
FLI said the planned civic spaces, which would add to City Di Mare’s open park, would be open to Cebu City residents.
“An area will be devoted to multi-use sports fields (approximately two football fields), while another area will be devoted to leisure spaces including but not limited to bazaars, cultural spaces, food stalls and interim pop-up attractions,” the builder noted.
It would also add mobility features such as additional sidewalks, widened roads, new access roads leading into the development, and a pedestrian bridgeway connecting City di Mare to IL Corso, FLI’s Lifemall in Cebu.
The boardwalk along IL Corso would also be enhanced to support the Cebu City government’s goal to improve the area’s coastal experience, FLI said.
