A premier waterfront development, business district, and lifestyle community. The city of the future. This is the vision of Global City Mandaue Corporation, a Filipino-owned and controlled real estate development corporation, which aims to build a world-class waterfront city with an initial project cost of P20 billion. This is a turn key joint venture partnership with the Mandaue City Local Government and sanctioned by the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA).
The Global City Mandaue project will be a master planned reclamation with a land area spanning 101 hectares along the Mactan Channel. It is directly adjacent to the Marcelo Fernan Bridge where a spur bridge will be constructed for easy access.
Global City Mandaue is centrally-located close to the Mactan Cebu International Airport, along the ferry routes between Cebu, Mactan, and nearby islands with links to the main highways and to the upcoming Cebu Coastal Road and 4th Mactan Bridge. Global City Mandaue will be completely walkable, bikeable, and accessible through land, air, and sea transport through its multi-modal terminal.
This waterfront destination will be the main point of convergence for business, community, culture and education, and tourism and entertainment for Cebu.
Collaborative business environment
Global City Mandaue will be a business district where fresh concepts and disruptive new ideas thrive to fully support the growth of information technology and software development. Here, modern corporate office buildings, regional mall and commercial strips, middle to upscale residences, and tech hubs and incubator eco-systems will serve as a magnet for investors -- from start-ups to innovative entrepreneurs, and even global companies.
All buildings in the development will be BERDE-certified, featuring biophilic designs that will both conserve and enhance the cityscape. Through green facades and vertical gardens, nature is incorporated into building spaces to contribute to the health and wellbeing of present and future generations.
Diverse interconnected community
The project will set the standard for holistic living and enriched quality of life by building a community with curated developments and essential institutions including a world-class hospital to serve the needs of people from all walks of life.
Global City Mandaue will soon be the address of the Civic Center and new Mandaue City Hall, which will serve as the pulse of public life in the city. The Civic Center will house government offices, police and fire stations, terminals for mass transport, and venues for cultural and religious activities.
Center for culture and education
Global City Mandaue will provide opportunities to empower individuals by engaging them to actively participate in achieving progress, higher learning, and cultural appreciation.
The development will feature a complex of international schools, universities, and graduate schools complemented by galleries, libraries, auditoriums, museums, and other modern architectural structures coexisting with the historic Bantayan ng Hari Watchtower. It is truly a place where the past and future come together, bringing heritage, history, and the arts.
New and exciting experience
Global City Mandaue’s Waterfront Luxury District offers cosmopolitan pursuits and fun with the finest hotels and resorts, land and sea activities, must-see landmarks, luxury retail options, and a wide array of flavors and cuisines in the restaurant strip.
Open and green spaces, pocket parks, pathways, and playgrounds also contribute to this vibrant lifestyle experience that promotes tourism, leisure, and entertainment.
