Green features help businesses thrive
Filinvest City is fulfilling its promise to be a future-ready next generation central business district with its peoplecentric masterplan. Driven by innovation and technology combined with green developments, the township provides a refreshing environment in a complete community for the city and its people to breathe.
Surrounding the township with sufficient green and open spaces, Filinvest City created a lush environment that works toward improving the quality of life in the city. This positions Filinvest City as a frontier for economic growth amid a green setting, making it the Garden City of the Metro South.
From top international and local corporations, to small and large entrepreneurs who call Filinvest City their home, this Garden City has shaped a healthy business community that has become a benchmark in the Metro South and beyond.
Green living and working spaces are beneficial to everyone, and contributes to ‘Filinvest City-zens’ wellbeing by encouraging physical activities, promoting mental health, and developing a sense of community.
Parks are a place to engage in active and recreational activities. The trees in these spaces also create a healthier environment.
Other CBDs, being already established, have seen diminishing developable land area, making them too congested to welcome new investors. These CBDs also have limited open spaces which cannot contain their densely populated districts. While in Filinvest City, its masterplan provides the best business advantages to businessmen and investors together with a vibrant backdrop of green and open spaces that benefit the locators, residents, and guests.
Green, open spaces also make people happier, and help remedy mild depression since physical activity, social interaction, and recreation in a natural environment can help improve one’s mental state.
“Congestion and lack of accessible open spaces in the metro has been one of the main causes of stress for many city dwellers. These spaces are essential for recreation, fitness and relaxation. And this is the main reason why Filinvest City provides green spaces, parks and walkways,” said Sir Don Ubaldo, VP for townships.
Filinvest City has three major parks, namely the Spectrum Linear Park, a greenbelt with relaxing installations that connects the northern and southern zones of the CBD; the Central Park, the jewel of all greens at Filinvest City. This almost one-hectare land is envisioned to be a major event space, where people can enjoy a picnic, an outdoor fair or a concert; and the Creekside Park – a waterfront development in a natural setting.
There is also the Festival River Park which is connected to Creekside Park allowing accessibility in the community. It also gives shopping and dining a whole new experience with its landscaping anchored on a natural river that runs through Filinvest City, the Festival Water Garden designed to be an oasis for shoppers, and the Axis Tower Park with its water feature and sculpture that serves as a nexus for the four Axis Towers where workers can converge.
