Filinvest’s CDM emerges as Cebu’s next landmark

As the Filinvest Group marks its 70th year of enabling Filipino dreams, parent company, Filinvest Development Corporation, continues to expand its footprint across the country through diverse investments in key industries such as banking, real estate, power, hospitality, sugar, and infrastructure.

Its real estate business, in particular, remains committed to developing large-scale, future-ready townships that drive regional growth and economic activity. From the thriving business district that is Filinvest City in Alabang, to the carefree Filinvest Mimosa Plus in Clark, and now the vibrant CDM (City di Mare) in Cebu’s South Road Properties (SRP), Filinvest’s real estate investments reflect its commitment to shaping sustainable communities where business, lifestyle, and innovation converge.

A Thriving Hub for Business, Investment, and Urban Growth

Located in the Queen City of the South, Cebu City, CDM thrives in a highly accessible area with well-developed infrastructure and a growing roster of top-tier establishments—offering an environment where businesses can flourish, and residents can enjoy a seamless urban lifestyle.

"CDM opens new opportunities for economic growth with its commercial lot offering, attracting further investments into the new Cebu City," said Catherine Ilagan, President and CEO of Filinvest Alabang, Inc., the Filinvest Group’s township and luxury residential arm. "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," she added.

As Cebu’s economic pulse beats stronger, CDM stands at the center of it all, setting the pace for the city’s next era of growth. With the last prime commercial spaces up for grabs, the future of business and modern living in Cebu starts here.

It is at the forefront of attracting top-tier brands, enhancing accessibility, and introducing dynamic developments that create long-term value for investors, businesses, and the community.

Anchoring this momentum are the latest additions to CDM’s growing commercial landscape. Major brands such as Jollibee, Chowking, Bo’s Coffee, and Caltex have chosen to establish their presence in the township—a testament to its strategic location and increasing economic activity.

A pedestrian bridgeway linking CDM to Il Corso Filinvest Malls is underway, ensuring seamless access to retail and dining options.

Complementing CDM’s commercial growth are its premier residential enclaves, Sanremo Oasis and Amalfi, developed by Filinvest Land, Inc. These mid-rise condominium communities offer a serene and well-connected lifestyle within the township.

Beyond commerce, CDM is transforming into an active sports and leisure destination. The launch of Future Golf’s driving range, TGR Football Academy, and a community skate park underscores the township’s commitment to providing world-class recreational spaces that cater to Cebu’s growing demand for wellness and sports facilities.

“Our townships are designed with purpose—integrating business, lifestyle, and green spaces to create environments where people and progress can coexist,” said Ilagan “At CDM, we are not just developing land—we are creating a future-ready community for the next generation of Cebuanos.”

Secure Your Place in Cebu’s Next Prime Business District

As Cebu’s SRP emerges as the city’s next commercial powerhouse, CDM presents a rare opportunity for investors to own a stake in one of the most strategic and future-ready locations in the region.

With only eight hectares of prime commercial land remaining, CDM offers just 25 exclusive commercial lots—each positioned to maximize visibility, accessibility, and long-term value. The Coastal Block offers premium lots with larger cuts and breathtaking seaside views-ideal for flagship developments and high-profile businesses. The Greenway Block is strategically located near expansive green spaces and key township developments.

CDM’s unmatched location within Cebu’s growth corridor places it at the center of economic expansion. With seamless access to the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), Mactan-Cebu International Airport, and Cebu International Port, businesses here are positioned to capture both local and international markets.

Filinvest remains focused on creating spaces that spark progress for communities, making life extraordinary for ordinary Filipinos across the country. CDM is an investment in the future of Cebu and a living example of how Filinvest continues to create a positive impact on Filipino dreams.
