Living in a golf community offers more than having easy access to golf courses anytime, it allows residents to enjoy the sport while immersing themselves in the distinctive country club lifestyle that perfectly combines modern living and recreation.
This is the kind of life that one can have at Golf Ridge Private Estate, Filigree’s residential golf community situated beside the esteemed Mimosa Plus Golf Course at Filinvest Mimosa+, Clark Freeport Zone.
With its construction in progress, Golf Ridge gave future residents a feel of the country club lifestyle with exclusive access to the fully-furnished one-bedroom model unit at the Sales Gallery, Filinvest Mimosa+.
Design intent
The design of the model unit showcases the seamless flow of nature into the indoors.
Designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), an international design firm based in the USA, the model unit showcases the seamless flow of nature from outdoors to indoors. Inspired by the concept “Growth Rings”, a cross-section of the stem of a woody plant, Norman Agleron, HBA partner explained: “We took cues from the location of the project to come up with the “Growth Rings” concept. We translated this by using different finishes that mimic the real wood and that give us a natural and warm feel of the space.”
Converging indoors and outdoors

The connection between the indoors and outdoors can also be seen in the model unit’s open layout for the kitchen, dining, and living room. The design enables sunlight to travel and connect indoor space with the outdoors allowing residents to enjoy a brighter room and a direct view of the greeneries from the golf course. Meanwhile, the furniture designs that were selected are soft and modern in detail to contrast the hard interior and architectural details of the unit.
This concept extends beyond the walls of the residential units as guests and residents can experience the coveted country club living through the luxurious amenities that are specially curated for the health and well-being of residents. Within walking distance of their homes, they can utilize the infinity pool, abundant green spaces, outdoor lounge, fitness centers, biking trails, residential lobby, private drop-off, and game room, to name a few.
Moreover, the Mimosa Plus Golf Course just beside the residential property means that residents can have total access to golf courses whenever they want to practice their swings.
Experience the country club lifestyle soon!
Through the Sales Gallery, designed to welcome and accommodate clients and their inquiries, guests can also have a peek into the other treasured offerings of Golf Ridge; foremost its masterfully-crafted generous living spaces which range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom units. Most of the units offered have their own balcony where residents can bask in the picturesque landscape view of the Mimosa Plus Golf Course or of the Mimosa Skyline.
While these topnotch features already prove that Golf Ridge is worth one’s investment, it is further strengthened by other considerations: Its strategic location in Clark, Pampanga brings stronger capital appreciation for investors as Clark is not only known to be the top destination for the growing number of golf enthusiasts in the country but is also the hotspot for business and leisure tourism.
“The unveiling of the model unit at the Sales Gallery is a significant moment for us as it allows potential buyers to not only see the beauty of Golf Ridge and its units, but they might also come to realize that the residential property is built within a very accessible and highly strategic location with land values only expected to appreciate over time,” said Daphne Sanchez, Filigree deputy head.
So, with all these amenities and features to be enjoyed, future residents can visit the newly-launched model unit and experience the distinctive country-club lifestyle offered by the Golf Ridge Private Estate.
Two Filinvest Alabang Inc (FAI) projects were awarded gold recognitions at the recently held Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards organized by the Philippine chapter of the Paris-based International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI). Filinvest City, FAI’s flagship township in Alabang took home the Gold award under the Sustainable Development category while Filigree’s Botanika Nature Residences, its ultraluxury condominium, bagged Gold under the Residential Mid-Rise category.
Filinvest City Gold award acceptance led by (L-R) FIABCI World president-elect Budiarsa Sastrawinata, FIABCI-Philippines president Arch. Nestor Mangio, Filinvest Alabang Inc (FAI) president and COO Catherine Ilagan, FAI first vice president Don Ubaldo, and FIABCI-Philippines chairman Dr. Reghis Romero II.
The awards recognize FAI’s dedication to creating resilient, future-ready, and people-focused communities that can be enjoyed by many generations. “As we mark our 30th anniversary this year, we continue to be committed to our mission of building communities that are sustainable and people-centric,” shares Catherine Ilagan, FAI President and COO. “Our ultimate goal is to make all of our developments really experiential and engaging, supporting healthier and more fulfilled lifestyles, with Filinvest City and Botanika serving as our flagship projects,” she adds.

Nestor Mangio, FAI first vice president Daphne Sanchez, FAI president and COO Catherine Ilagan, and FIABCI-Philippines chairman Dr. Reghis Romero II.
With global and local recognition certifying its efforts in building a green central business district in Alabang, Muntinlupa, Filinvest City’s FIABCI gold award further affirms Filinvest City’s commitment to sustainability. Other green recognitions include its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEEDv4 Gold for Neighborhood Development (LEEDv4 ND) certification by the US Green Building Council in 2020 and, more recently, its 3-star Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) Districts Certification by the Philippine Green Building Council–making Filinvest City the first & only Philippine CBD to be accorded with these two certifications.
“We have taken the big leap years ago when Filinvest Development Corporation Founder Mr. Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr. envisioned a sustainable and future-ready CBD and established FAI to transform the Alabang stock farm into what Filinvest City is today. All these awards and certifications prove that we have been doing this right from the start and that there are alternatives to the accustomed way of building cities in the metro,” Don Ubaldo, FAI’s First Vice President for townships, says.
Filigree’s Botanika Nature Residences took home the FIABCI Gold award under the Residential Mid-Rise category.
The way that Botanika Nature Residences combines aesthetics and functionality while embedding energy efficiency into its design sets it different from other upscale residential buildings. A flagship project of Filigree, FAI’s brand of high-end residential developments, Botanika’s promise of authentic green living is seen beyond its interior as it harmoniously co-exists with its environs.
Approximately 70% of its total land area is dedicated to gardens and open breathing spaces, while the building itself, covering 30% of the land, was designed to respect and complement its natural surroundings being located at the most exclusive portion of Filinvest City. On top of the FIABCI gold award, Botanika is also a 4-star BERDE-certified development, and just last year was recognized as the first H+W (Health and Well-being – Pilot Version) 3-stars Certified residential building by the Philippine Green Building Council.
“As the post-pandemic world takes shape, there is a growing need for space that keeps people close to the center of activities while also allowing them to retreat to a sanctuary of greenery and clean air at any time to safeguard and promote their health and well-being. Botanika Nature Residences guarantee a stress-free, healthier suburban lifestyle,” says Filigree deputy head and FAI First Vice President Daphne Sanchez.
The company’s thrust to fostering a culture of innovation and development has also been recognized through the awards received by Filinvest Development Corporation President and CEO, and Filinvest Land Inc. CEO Josephine Gotianun-Yap. She is named FIABCI’s first Property Woman of the Year and is the first woman to receive the Real Estate Personality of the Year award in the Philippines Property Awards by Property Guru last year.
