Eton Properties Philippines, Inc., the real-estate arm of the Lucio
Tan Group, launches the first residential island lots in the
Philippines—the South Lake Village at Eton City in Sta. Rosa,
Laguna. The flagship project is worth billions of pesos and occupies
almost 1,000 hectares of prime land.
It is situated near both sides of the South
Luzon Expressway adjacent to the entrance of the existing Eton-City
Greenfield interchange. Explaining the objective of the move, Danilo
Ignacio, president and COO of Eton, says: “We wanted to build the
first ever island lots in the Philippines to be a residential place
for the people to live and enjoy. Our company is proud to present
this because we know that this is a breakthrough not just for our
company but also for the country.”
This “out of the box” concept of a village
boasts 18 residential islands surrounded by a 35-hectare man-made
lake. Each island is approximately one hectare in size and will have
eight to 10 residential lots of about 1,000 square meters each.
The project derives inspiration from the Foster
City in San Francisco, Dubai’s Jumeirah, The Palm and The World.
South Lake Village is classified as “luxurious residence” with
exquisite flora and fauna, iconic architecture evident in its linear
parks along the river and lake-view corridors and bridges.
Exclusivity, security and natural environment are the salient
features of South Lake Village.
Expectedly, the South Lake Sports and Country
Club offers the required recreational amenities—an outdoor Jacuzzi
and infinity pool in the Swimming Pool Zone ; Kid’s Zone where
children can exercise and play; Adult Zone for various sports and
entertainment; F&B Zone for party and gatherings; Health and Spa
Zone, which is a combined gym, aerobics area, clinic and salon, and
Outdoor zone for family barbeques and lake activities.
