A fun, active lifestyle at Filinvest City’s Spectrum Linear Park
Filinvest City, a garden central business district south of Manila, recently opened two other sections of its Spectrum Linear Park, a foliage-canopied walkway that spans the north and south ends of the township, as it further promotes a more fun, active lifestyle.
Since its opening last year, Filinvest City’s Spectrum Linear Park has been drawing a steady stream of people who enjoy its close to one-kilometer span, accentuated by tree-lined, landscaped pathways, lighted seating areas, and stimulating outdoor art installations. To make it more enjoyable for employees, residents and guests, a free WiFi access powered by Smart Communications can now be experienced in the park.
One part of the park is more linear and traditional in design — the area being nearest to the office blocks — the new portion is envisioned to be more playful, serving as transition from the business side of the development to its softer, garden side. Another section presents fewer hardscapes — that is, walkways and path pavers — and offers more foliage, trees, and greenery for a truly relaxing environment. This then transitions to the soon-to-be-constructed Creekside Park, which boasts a living creek on top of a thriving bird habitat.
With all these eco-centric innovations, the Spectrum Linear Park serves as a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city living — a place where people can come together, take a break, enjoy outdoor activities, and have a healthy dose of nature. This also proves that a balanced urban masterplan — as espoused by Filinvest City where all the components of a thriving township are complemented by open spaces and pedestrian-friendly features like wide sidewalks and bike lanes — is possible.
“A key element in our plan is the enhancement of existing open spaces into functional ones like parks. It is through this that we aim to provide city dwellers a smarter, more sustainable township,” relates Filinvest Alabang Inc. senior vice president for townships Don S. Ubaldo. “While we already have all the components of a thriving community, we in Filinvest City still believe that lush, open spaces are a kind of luxury that will continue to attract locators and investors.”
The Filinvest Group, backed by its six decades of industry experience, continuously proves to be a progressive urban development, one that effectively fuses the needs of people, nature, and commerce. It is no wonder then that many have chosen to call Filinvest City their home.
