Master-planned American South-inspired enclave at Georgia Club

A fast rising new residential area of choice, the welcoming, breezy landscape, tall trees and wide expanses of Sta. Rosa is the perfect setting for Georgia Club, a gated enclave inspired by the privileged way of life of the aristocracy in the American South. The development is a product of a partnership between Brittany Corp., the maverick developer known for its master-planned, theme-inspired, upper-crust communities and MesaLand, pioneer developer in Sta. Rosa.

Georgia Club is an upscale community that combines old-world charm and world-class development providing its residents with what Brittany calls a "lifescape," a thematically influenced, total living environment that previously did not exist elsewhere and that elevates the enjoyment of life to a new level.

Deeply influenced by the gracious historic homes of Georgia, from Savannah to Athens, the portfolio of home designs of Georgia Club emphasizes the gracious American Southern architectural style. A key design feature to be found in a Georgia Club residence is the spacious porch, where the time-honored tradition of the neighborly visit and chat will be honored, kept alive and well. Georgia Club residences will boast symmetrical facades and gabled roofs, evoking the charm of the genteel American South. Architectural features will include evenly spaced windows, dormers and high ceilings. Shaded verandahs and tall windows will invite cooling, gentle breezes. Facades will display distinctive splashes of color, with brightly colored shutters and doors, and the latter welcoming visitors with brass knockers.

Georgia Club is being built on 30 hectares initially, roughly rectangular in shape, in a generally northeast to southwest orientation on the left of the Sta. Rosa highway to Tagaytay from the South Luzon Expressway. The project is situated in a highly strategic location, adjacent to other prime developments in the area, namely Hacienda Sta. Elena, Brittany’s Bellereve, Fontamara, Promenade and La Residencia.
Built-in Advantages
The municipality of Sta. Rosa, one of the country’s fastest-growing investment sites, is an ideal place of residence for professionals and their families. Dubbed the "Silicon Valley" of the Philippines, and the IT hub of the South because of the electronics and semi-conductor firms in the area, Sta. Rosa is also known as the country’s "Little Detroit, " being the home of major car manufacturers and assemblers.

Laguna is endowed with an advantageous natural topography and environment that includes plentiful underground water reserves pegged at 300 million gallons, and a host of leisure and vacation destinations.

Apart from its natural endowments, another attractive feature of Sta. Rosa is its proximity to urban centers. The residential hub is a mere 45-minute drive from the Makati CBD and a short 25-minute drive from Alabang either through the Sta. Rosa exit of the South Luzon Expressway or the newly opened Asia Brewery/Greenfield exit, enabling residents to avoid the traffic from industrialized areas of Laguna.

Sta. Rosa is also home to the best educational institutions, from pre-schools to universities and graduate schools, South of Metro Manila such as the Acacia School, De La Salle, St. Scholastica, Don Bosco and the Ateneo Graduate School. University of Sto. Tomas, the oldest university in Asia, will continue its heritage of excellence in education with the soon to rise 45-hectare campus and teaching hospital in Sta. Rosa. The new UST complex will boast of a scenic view of Mt. Makiling, thus ensuring an environment that is conducive to learning.

Georgia Club also permits residents the enjoyment of leisurely activities at neighboring premier golf courses and country clubs (such as the Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club, Canlubang Golf and Country Club, and The Country Club just a stone’s throw away), relaxation in nearby Tagaytay, or weekend breaks on the beaches of Batangas.
Better infrastructure
The development of Georgia Club in the south is based on key reasons of available land for the development of upscale communities, freedom from congestion and pollution, and compared to the north, east and west of Metro Manila, there is a better road network. These infrastructures include:

• The South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) is the major southern artery to and from Makati, the country’s premier business and financial district.

• The planned C-6 along Laguna de Bay will provide access from points north and east like Quezon City, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Antipolo, Taguig and Makati to Parañaque, Alabang-Muntinlupa and other points south.

Georgia Club is envisioned to attract executives of industrial enterprises in the metro south as well as up-market families with business and professional interests in Makati and places farther south.
