Country club living in the heart of Northern Luzon

Tweet

Imagine waking up to your balcony with the scenic views of well-manicured fairways, dotted by fully-grown trees and complemented by the fresh breeze of the suburbs. This is the lifestyle afforded by Golf Ridge Private Estate by premier real estate brand Filigree.

Golf Ridge is the  latest addition to Filigree’s remarkably successful line-up of developments, which also include Botanika Nature Residences, Bristol at Parkway Place, The Enclave Alabang, and The Beaufort—all in enviable locations in Metro Manila. Now, it is finally expanding its luxury living experience outside the metro with this newest project venture.

Very timely with the real estate industry enjoying an upswing even amid the current normal. Now, however, buyers and investors are even more discerning of the property they choose to buy. Criteria should at least include sustainable and future-ready designs, safer and more strategic locations, and top-notch amenities. And these are the qualities that have long been a trademark of Filigree developments.  

“Even as our economy continues to struggle, we want end-users and investors to enjoy a luxurious, comfortable lifestyle while being cost-efficient,” notes Filigree head Catherine Ilagan. “At Golf Ridge, leasehold agreements are offered to tenants, which is an advantage in the current normal because it is more practical and profitable in the long run.”

Strategically situated within Filinvest Mimosa+ Leisure City in Clark, Pampanga, Golf Ridge Private Estate is an accessible urban escape offering a highly-coveted country club lifestyle right in the heart of Luzon’s emerging economic hub.

End-users and investors planning to live away from congested urban areas will enjoy the atmosphere of Filinvest Mimosa+. The majority of the property is made up of sprawling open spaces, which can be seen in its vibrant, integrated township where Centennial trees and well-maintained green landscapes soften the glass and concrete buildings that are home to corporate offices, malls, and gaming establishments.

To further highlight the country club lifestyle, the upcoming residential development has added country club-like features and amenities to help residents rejuvenate and enhance their health and well-being right at their doorstep, especially in the current normal. Residents can relax and unwind amid a slew of well-curated amenities including a fully-equipped gym, infinity pool, and outdoor lounge.  

Complementing these are generous living spaces that allow only four to eight units on a floor for privacy, ease of movement, abundant natural light, and better indoor air quality. Each unit has an amply-sized balcony that gives a commanding, borrowed view of the Mimosa Golf Course. Designed to cater to people of varying lifestyles, Golf Ridge offers one-bedroom units for end-users or investors looking for a quiet retreat, two-bedroom units for young couples or empty-nesters, and three-bedroom units for larger families.

Golf Ridge in Filinvest Mimosa+ is easily accessible, a comfortable two-hour drive to and from Metro Manila via major highways such as the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) and Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx). It is only a 10-minute drive to the Clark International Airport.

 

Offered to tenants on leasehold agreements, Golf Ridge Private Estate is a valuable asset for residents who are aspiring to experience a relaxed, country club lifestyle.

James Arthur makes a huge comeback with autobiographical single ‘Medicine’

Tweet

Fresh from the huge global success of his song ‘Train Wreck’, English singer-songwriter James Arthur returns with his brand new single ‘Medicine’.

“Medicine” is boldly autobiographical. The track was the very first song James wrote during his first writing session for the new album.

James says, “Medicine is an uplifting ode to self, to relationships, to community and connection, and to the healing, restorative powers of love over adversity. It is, you might say, the perfect song for spring 2021.”

“The last year has forced any couple to look at themselves. It held a mirror up to us all, didn’t it? And my partner was hugely supportive throughout that whole time. There are some pretty dark lyrics in there: ‘When I’m suicidal, you don’t let me spiral…’”

The journey to his new record began in January 2020 whilst James was on a European tour, and old demons began to resurface. “On stage in Madrid, I had this brutal panic attack. I’ve obviously suffered from anxiety over the years but I’d never had that before, not on stage, not it taking hold of me – to the extent that I had to get off because if I didn’t, I was gonna die. Then the next day I developed really bad flu symptoms and had to be rushed into hospital. They found that I had a gallbladder infection, and had to remove it immediately.”

Arthur spent a week in hospital in Switzerland, having canceled the tour. When he got home, he checked into Nightingale Hospital in central London, and subsequently used his new home as his place of rehab. He undertook therapy 3-4 times a week, embarked on a course of medication, began practicing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), gave his gym good work out and, to relieve the pressure, canceled the American tour.

By March James was fighting fit enough for his UK arena tour. “And it was probably the best tour I’ve ever done.” But then Coronavirus and lockdown hit. By late spring, with restrictions easing, Arthur was back working. His foresight in building a studio and investing in industry-standard recording gear paid immediate dividends. “And all of a sudden, the music started sounding great. From day one there was a sound that I wanted to go for. Even early on it sounded like a real album, a proper body of work.”

James recently signed a new deal with Columbia Records UK, a co-deal with Columbia Records Germany, who has worked with James for the last five years since his No.1 album 'Back From The Edge'.

He has sold over 30 million records worldwide and has released three hugely successful albums 'James Arthur' (No.2), 'Back From The Edge' (No.1), and 'YOU' (No.2), alongside nine solo UK Top 40 singles. He has had two No.1 smash hits and was awarded a disc for reaching a billion streams on Spotify with ‘Say You Won't Let Go’, the No.1 global hit that brought the singer-songwriter from Middlesbrough back from the edge (it currently has 1.6 billion streams on the platform).

James recently dominated the airwaves and charts with his storming collaboration with Sigala ‘Lasting Lover’. The track was a No.1 airplay song in the UK, No.1 on iTunes, and Top 10 on the Official Singles Chart. He also recently hit the Official UK Chart with ‘Train Wreck’, a track written and recorded for his 2nd album ‘Back From The Edge’, which found a new lease of life via Tik Tok. The track has had an incredible 365 million streams to date.
