Known for combining world-class hospitality with elevated living experiences, Marco Polo Residences has since been offering Cebuanos upscale living with its four thoughtfully designed towers.
From its prime location atop Nivel Hills, residents get to enjoy panoramic views of Cebu’s skyline, serene mountain landscapes, and the sea—all while experiencing the finest in modern living in one of the most prestigious locations in the Queen City of the South.
Legacy of global hospitality
Marco Polo Residences’ prestige lies in its synergy with global hospitality giant Wharf Hotels, the operator behind the renowned Marco Polo Hotels.
To recall, premier real estate developer Federal Land Inc. established Marco Polo Plaza Cebu, the first international hotel in the region. This allowed Federal Land to lay the groundwork for a new approach to residential living—one that merges the convenience of high-rise living with the comforts and services of a hotel.
The realization of that vision is Marco Polo Residences. This development provides the experience of living in a sophisticated vertical community situated in one of the most exclusive areas in Cebu—complemented by hotel-like amenities as well as exclusive privileges such as discounts at Marco Polo Cebu Plaza’s renowned restaurants and special room rates.
No wonder, Marco Polo Residences today has become the preferred address for those seeking an elevated lifestyle—both literally and figuratively.
Marco Polo Parkplace: A fresh opportunity
Homebuyers and investors, however, still have an opportunity to be part of this community.

Marco Polo Parkplace will present an environment that exudes timeless elegance, rooted in minimalist architecture and a design that highlights balance.

Strategic value, investment
Besides offering an upscale lifestyle in one of the most vibrant metros in the country, Marco Polo Residences also presents a sound, strategic investment.
Marco Polo Residences, as it is, has already established its reputation in Cebu as a prime residential community. Further adding to its value would be the Marco Polo brand’s international prestige, the backing of a seasoned developer like Federal Land, its strategic location, and its distinct amenity offerings to residents. Since its 2010 launch, the development proved to be popular in the Cebu market, enjoying a brisk and consistent sales take up for its first four towers.

A multi-awarded developer most recently honored with a Top 10 Developers Award by BCI Asia, Federal Land continues its commitment to creating large-scale developments that have a positive impact on generations.
