Gotta live in Golf View Terraces

MANILA, Philippines - People who live in buildings favor staying on the top floor which offers a number of advantages. Some of which are the prospect of more light and air compared with the lower floors and, of course, stunning views. Penthouse units, which command more premium, almost has certainty of a roof terrace for sun bathing and enjoying meals outside.

 Combining these benefits together, it clearly sounds like living in the Golf View Terraces of South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, and recipient of the Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, and, recently, the Highly Commended Award for Best Development by the 2010 Bloomberg Asia-Pacific Residential Award.

 “Every unit of our Golf View Terraces feels like you are on the top floor of every building,” Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng said. “It’s all about the cooler climate and the exceptional view.”

 Right at the Top. The drive up to the golf course also leads to several unique and amazing attractions – a lush forest, the green grass, the clear blue sky, a flowing brook, and the Golf View Terraces, or GVT.

 The GVT is perched high on the ridge of the hill while the golf course is nestled in the valley below and atop the opposite ridge. As one approaches beside it, the GVT clearly takes advantage of natural elevation changes as it looks like a flight of stairs. From the road, the GVT appears to be a two-storey structure, but from the golf course at the back, it reveals a five-level terrace which emulates a small hill.

 Peeking Through. Residents and guests entering through the well-appointed porte cochere will be immediately awed at the double-volume lobby with its modern furnishings. Two penthouse levels feature loft units while the lower floors have standard one-level units. In each of these units, a spacious balcony is provided where residents can lounge and enjoy the stunning view of the golf course or simply take pleasure in the cool Tagaytay-like weather all year round. One can even enjoy taking merienda from the balcony while overlooking on a golf tournament from their perch.

Posh Pad. The one-bedroom loft model unit, for one, is inspiring. The open layout of the double-volume kitchen-dining-living areas is done mostly in white with touches of bright orange. The white sectional sofa becomes the ideal hangout where friends can crash and watch the latest shows on the flat screen TV. A retro feel is emphasized with the geometric accent wall that rises from floor to ceiling.
