While an out-of-town trip seems like the magic potion that makes the stress of city life disappear, the truth is you don’t need to travel far and wide just to unwind and regain balance in your life. Breaking free from the daily grind is possible even without leaving the metro. At the heart of Mandaluyong sits Greenfield District, a bustling community where people of all ages can take a breather and enjoy various recreational activities to their heart’s content.
Offering one of the biggest open spaces in Mandaluyong, the 15-hectare urban development of Greenfield Development Corporation (GDC) has become an emerging destination in Mandaluyong for outdoor activities that promote holistic health. Greenfield District is also home to GDC’s future-ready condominium developments: Twin Oaks Place and Zitan. Condo residents can conveniently enjoy the fun activities at Greenfield District with their friends and family. The Hub, likewise, has an advantageous location, making it accessible to the public through various routes and roadways from the main business districts of Metro Manila.
Designed to give a truly distinctive brand of city lifestyle, Greenfield District is further redefining the Mandaluyong landscape with green, sweeping open spaces that comprise a generous portion of the development, and are further enhanced by a pedestrian-oriented neighborhood.
