City di Mare Cebu’s next business hub


The Filinvest Group is reshaping Cebu’s South Road Properties (SRP) with City di Mare (CDM), a mixed-use township development quickly emerging as the city’s next premier business and lifestyle hub.

Strategically located in one of the country’s fastest-growing urban corridors, the once quiet coastal area is now a busy zone, as leading commercial brands set up branches and residential and office spaces were built within CDM to create a thriving community.

“Our townships are designed with purpose—integrating business, lifestyle, and green spaces to create environments where people and progress can coexist,” said Catherine Ilagan, president and chief executive of Filinvest Alabang Inc.

“At CDM, we are not just developing land—we are creating a future-ready community for the next generation of Cebuanos.

Investment hotspot

FIlinvest said CDM’s strategic location is complemented by strong infrastructure and a growing roster of top tenants, enhancing its attractiveness for potential investors.

As infrastructure around SRP continues to improve, so does CDM’s appeal to entrepreneurs and investors seeking growth opportunities in the Visayas.

“CDM opens new opportunities for economic growth with its commercial lot offering, attracting further investments into the new Cebu City,” Ilagan.

“By creating spaces where enterprises can build and communities can thrive, we are driving sustainable progress and laying the foundation for this new business district,” she said.

CDM’s layout includes premier commercial zones, future-forward residential communities, and dynamic recreational areas. A pedestrian bridgeway currently under construction will soon link the township to Il Corso Filinvest Malls, ensuring walkable convenience and stronger connectivity for shoppers and residents alike.

The development of CDM also marks a major milestone in the Filinvest Group’s 70-year journey of building dreams for Filipinos.

Its real estate projects are known for creating large, well-planned communities, namely Filinvest City in Alabang and Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark.

Cebu’s growth

With only eight hectares of commercial land remaining, CDM offers an opportunity for investors to secure property in Cebu’s most promising business district.

The township offers just 25 exclusive lots divided between two premium areas: the Coastal Block, ideal for high-profile businesses with its expansive seaside views, and the Greenway Block, set amid lush open spaces and key community hubs.

Its proximity to the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Cebu International Port makes CDM a strategic base for businesses aiming to serve both domestic and global markets.

The township is also home to mid-rise residential condominiums like Sanremo Oasis and Amalfi. It also has new places for sports and fun such as a driving range, a football academy and a skate park

Filinvest’s ongoing transformation of CDM reflects not just a vision for urban growth, but a deeper commitment to creating spaces that inspire opportunity and uplift communities—cementing its role in shaping the future of Cebu and the dreams of the Filipino people.
