As Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC) celebrates 70 years of turning Filipino dreams into reality, the conglomerate continues to expand its nationwide presence through strategic investments in banking, real estate, power, hospitality, and infrastructure. It’s real estate arm leads the charge in developing large-scale, future-ready townships that boost regional economies and redefine urban living. Among its flagship projects:

• Filinvest City, Alabang – Metro Manila’s premier sustainable business district

Each development reflects Filinvest’s vision of integrated, sustainable communities where business, lifestyle, and innovation thrive. With seven decades of nation-building expertise, Filinvest remains committed to shaping spaces that drive progress while enhancing quality of life.

Nestled in the heart of Cebu City, City di Mare (CDM) stands as a thriving hub where commerce, convenience, and community converge. With prime accessibility, modern infrastructure, and a growing network of premium establishments, CDM offers businesses a dynamic environment to expand while providing residents a seamless, elevated urban lifestyle.

“CDM unlocks new opportunities for investment and economic growth through its strategic commercial lot offerings,” says Catherine Ilagan, President and CEO of Filinvest Alabang, Inc., the Filinvest Group’s township and luxury residential arm. “We’re not just developing spaces—we’re building a foundation for sustainable progress, where businesses thrive and communities flourish.”

As a key driver of Cebu’s next major business district, CDM combines forward-thinking urban planning with lifestyle-enhancing amenities, setting a new standard for integrated, future-ready developments in the Queen City of the South.

CDM continues to strengthen its position as Cebu's next premier destination with exciting new developments enhancing its commercial appeal. Leading Philippine brands including Jollibee, Chowking, Bo's Coffee, and Caltex have established operations within the township, validating its strategic location and growing economic potential. These additions create a vibrant commercial ecosystem where businesses and visitors thrive.

To improve accessibility, a new pedestrian bridge connecting CDM to Il Corso Filinvest Mall is currently in development. This infrastructure upgrade will provide:

• Convenient access to retail and dining options
• Smoother foot traffic flow between key destinations
• An integrated live-work-play experience

With these developments, CDM solidifies its role as a catalyst for Cebu's continued economic growth while offering an elevated urban lifestyle.
