Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC), one of the country’s most diversified conglomerates, is making a bold commercial statement in the Visayas with City di Mare (CDM)—a 50-hectare township development in South Road Properties (SRP), now positioned as Cebu’s next major business and lifestyle hub.
As the Filinvest Group celebrates its 70th anniversary, CDM exemplifies its long-term strategy to catalyze regional economic growth through large-scale, integrated developments. The township follows the successful models of Filinvest City in Alabang and Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark—furthering FDC’s legacy in shaping future-ready communities across the Philippines.
Strategically located within Cebu’s booming growth corridor, CDM benefits from seamless access to key infrastructure such as the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), Mactan-Cebu International Airport, and Cebu International Port. This prime location has already drawn high-profile tenants including Jollibee, Chowking, Bo’s Coffee, and Caltex, validating its commercial viability and investor appeal.
“CDM opens new opportunities for economic growth with its commercial lot offering,” said Catherine Ilagan, president and CEO of Filinvest Alabang, Inc. “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.”
Beyond its commercial clout, CDM integrates lifestyle and recreational elements—featuring mid-rise residential developments like Sanremo Oasis and Amalfi, as well as new leisure hubs including Future Golf’s driving range, TGR Football Academy, and an upcoming skate park. A pedestrian bridge will soon connect CDM to Il Corso Filinvest Mall, enhancing mobility and convenience for residents and visitors.
With just 25 commercial lots remaining across eight hectares, including prime spaces in the Coastal and Greenway Blocks, CDM presents a limited but high-value investment window for businesses eyeing expansion in Central Visayas. Filinvest’s master-planned approach aligns with Cebu’s urban momentum, making CDM a pivotal anchor in the city’s evolution as a commercial and cultural capital.
