park living in Greenfield city
The closest that urbanites can get to experience that refreshing, quiet and laid-back country style living in the city is in gated residences with gardens, landscaping, open spaces, mini parks and atria. But there is an option for families who prefer homes with a nature-rich environment and city fixture still just in the neighborhood. It’s called park living. And this is what Greenfield City is all about.
Park living is a relatively new concept introduced in the country by Greenfield Development Corporation through their 400-hectare township in Santa Rosa, Laguna called Greenfield City. For the developer, park living is not just homes in a nature-rich surrounding, it’s everything in a park setting: office buildings, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and factories.
Park living emanates from Greenfield City’s location in the suburbs. As soon as one enters the township through the South Luzon
Expressway (SLEX), trees, chirps, vast open spaces, provincial air, muffled noise, and low-density population begin. Developments subtly mingle with nature according to GDC’s innovative masterplan to produce residential parks, mall parks, a business park, and an industrial park. The result is a city park where healthy living, stress-free working and abundant playing thrive.
Take for example Pramana, the first residential park in the country. More than 50 percent of this 30-hectare first-class community featuring modern Asian houses is sprawling grounds of manicured lawns, green open spaces, tree-lined streets, man-made lagoon, koi ponds, swimming pools, basketball court, jogging and bicycle paths, playground, and clubhouse, which includes a pavilion, several function rooms, a recreation room and mini theater.
Another residential park is Solen Residences. At around 50 hectares, there is a small lake and a 5,000-sqm. nature park where kids can have fun in a playground, homeowners can play Frisbee or the family can enjoy a picnic under the grove of trees. Highlighting the amenities is a 764-sqm. swimming pool complex that consists of leisure and lap pools, a kiddie pool, pool deck and patio.
Completing the park living experience in Greenfield City are the workplaces in parks. There is the Greenfield Auto Park, a 65-hectare industrial zone that hosts automotive parts and accessories manufacturing plants. Greenfield is also developing the 11-hectare Santa Rosa Business Park that will host offices, hotels, medical institutions and residential buildings.
