After more than 20 years, Filinvest City remains bullish as ever with its trajectory of positive growth.
Filinvest City looks back to what was undoubtedly a memorable 2017, marked by numerous milestones and remarkable achievements that stand out in its more than twenty years of existence. Indeed, more than any other time in its history, 2017 was the year that has truly bolstered the position of Filinvest City as the premier garden central business district in the Metro South.
2017 saw the augmentation of the existing Filinvest City masterplan, as it was transformed into a genuine live, work, play environment and a green community made real. Thanks to the detailed masterplan enhanced by AECOM of Singapore, Filinvest City brings together a residential haven, a business central, a leisure destination, learning and education zones, and a medical and wellness hub—all within reach whilehaving lush nature as the backdrop.
Keeping in step with one’s desire to stay fit and healthy this year and beyond, the integration of eco-centric enhancements to the Filinvest City masterplan is sure to help you achieve your goals, including bike lanes and landscaped parks. At the heart of this change is the innovative “green belt”, spanning north to south, dubbed the Spectrum Linear Park, a foliage-canopied
walkway that encourages outdoor and leisure activities.
Filinvest City proudly announces that the Spectrum Linear Park is now complete, with residents and visitors alike enjoying its wonderful features. Every Sunday from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m, runners, bikers, and families have been converging at Filinvest Avenue, Commerce Avenue, Parkway Avenue, and Corporate Avenue, where lanes are closed off to cars to form a square loop for all to enjoy.
At the18.7-hectare Northgate Cyberzone, the largest district cooling system (DCS) in the country that can serve 20 office buildings was completed. This DCS plant—a joint undertaking with French firm ENGIE, the first phase of which has been completed and inaugurated–is seen to reduce electricity consumption by 40 percent along with reduced emission of air pollution, greenhouse gases, and ozone-depleting refrigerants.
Filinvest City also played host to an array of notable events, drawing large crowds that cemented its standing as an event venue of choice. There’s the Wanderland Festival that features the hottest musical performances, the challenging Filinvest Endurance Weekend, the 7-11 Run, the amazing Filinvest City Christmas lights show, the Metro Manila Film Festival parade, just to name a few.
