City di Mare Cebu: Guide to the Township, Properties & Commercial Lots
City di Mare Cebu is a 58-hectare master-planned mixed-use development within South Road Properties (SRP), Cebu City. Developed by Filinvest Land in partnership with the Cebu City government, the township combines residential communities, commercial areas, waterfront retail, open spaces, and future development parcels within a planned coastal estate.
Located along the Cebu South Coastal Road, City di Mare forms part of the larger SRP development corridor alongside major destinations such as SM Seaside City Cebu and NUSTAR Resort & Casino.
For buyers, investors, businesses, and developers, understanding how City di Mare is planned and how its different property areas function is important before evaluating an individual lot or development opportunity.
Filinvest positions City di Mare as a future commercial district within the South Road Properties corridor, designed to evolve into a mixed-use business environment over several decades.
What Is City di Mare?
City di Mare is a master-planned mixed-use township in South Road Properties, Cebu City.
The development covers approximately 58 hectares and includes residential, commercial, lifestyle, and open-space components. Its planning framework is different from buying an ordinary standalone parcel of land because properties within the township are subject to development and planning considerations established for the estate.
The development includes established residential communities such as Sanremo Oasis and Amalfi Oasis, as well as the waterfront lifestyle and dining destination Il Corso.
The estate also includes commercial development areas intended for future office, institutional, hospitality, mixed-use, and other compatible developments.
This makes City di Mare relevant to several different types of buyers:
- Businesses looking for strategically located commercial land
- Developers evaluating larger development parcels
- Investors considering long-term land ownership
- Institutions seeking a planned location
- Buyers looking for property within an established master-planned community
The appropriate property, however, depends heavily on the intended use, location within the estate, development controls, lot size, and investment horizon.
Where Is City di Mare?
City di Mare is located within South Road Properties (SRP) in Cebu City, along the Cebu South Coastal Road.
Its location places the township within one of Cebu City’s major coastal development corridors.
Nearby destinations include:
- SM Seaside City Cebu
- NUSTAR Resort & Casino
- Cebu South Coastal Road
- CCLEX
- Cebu City center
- Talisay City
- Mactan-Cebu International Airport via CCLEX
The official City di Mare development is positioned as part of the larger SRP urban expansion area, while the surrounding corridor contains several large-scale residential, commercial, tourism, and mixed-use developments.
City di Mare and South Road Properties
It is useful to distinguish the two terms.
South Road Properties (SRP) refers to the much larger reclaimed coastal development district of Cebu City.
City di Mare is one master-planned township located within SRP.
That distinction matters when comparing properties. A commercial lot in City di Mare is not simply an ordinary SRP lot; it is located within a specific estate with its own planning framework and development considerations.
For a broader look at SRP, see our South Road Properties Cebu Market Guide.
City di Mare Masterplan
City di Mare was planned as a mixed-use coastal community rather than a collection of unrelated properties.
According to the official development information, the 58-hectare project includes a 40-hectare mixed-use sector and a 10-hectare commercial component, with additional land acquired by Filinvest for future mixed-use development.
The township incorporates several major components:
Residential Communities
City di Mare includes residential developments such as:
- Sanremo Oasis
- Amalfi Oasis
These residential communities provide an established population base within the larger township.
Commercial Areas
Commercial portions of City di Mare provide opportunities for businesses and developers seeking larger parcels within a master-planned environment.
Commercial properties should be evaluated according to their specific location, permitted use, development controls, frontage, accessibility, lot size, and intended project.
Il Corso
Il Corso is City di Mare’s waterfront retail and lifestyle component.
Its location along the waterfront gives the township an additional leisure and dining destination while contributing to the area’s activity and identity.
Open Spaces and Waterfront Areas
The masterplan incorporates parks, open spaces, and waterfront-oriented areas as part of the broader live-work-play concept of the development.

Major Developments Inside City di Mare
Several developments help define City di Mare today.
Sanremo Oasis
Sanremo Oasis is a residential condominium development within City di Mare.
Its presence contributes to the residential component of the township and provides an established population within the estate.
Amalfi Oasis
Amalfi Oasis is another residential development within City di Mare, contributing to the township’s residential and mixed-use character.
Il Corso
Il Corso is the waterfront lifestyle and dining component of City di Mare.
Its coastal setting and retail and restaurant uses make it one of the most recognizable destinations within the estate.
Commercial Development Areas
Beyond the established residential and lifestyle components, City di Mare contains commercial development parcels intended for future projects.
These properties are particularly relevant to businesses, developers, institutions, and investors evaluating longer-term commercial opportunities in SRP.
City di Mare Lots for Sale
One of the most important reasons buyers search for City di Mare lots for sale is the availability of larger commercial and development parcels within the township.
However, City di Mare lots should not be evaluated purely on price per square meter.
Two properties can have very different development potential because of differences in:
- Lot size
- Block location
- Road frontage
- Coastal exposure
- Accessibility
- Permitted use
- Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
- Development controls
- Surrounding uses
- Intended project
- Investment horizon
For that reason, buyers should evaluate the property and its development potential together, rather than treating every City di Mare lot as interchangeable.

Availability, pricing, and property details can change, so individual listings should be verified before making an acquisition decision.
City di Mare Commercial Lots for Sale
City di Mare has attracted attention from buyers looking for commercial lots for sale in SRP Cebu.
Current commercial opportunities are concentrated in planned commercial areas within the estate, including the Greenway Block and Coastal Block. Current market listings describe these as distinct commercial areas with different characteristics and development considerations.
Greenway Block
The Greenway Block is associated with commercial parcels located near the estate’s internal open-space and linear-park system.
The location can be relevant for projects where internal accessibility, planned surroundings, and controlled development are more important than maximum roadside exposure.
Potential applications may include:
- Office developments
- Institutional projects
- Medical facilities
- Multi-tenant commercial buildings
- Other compatible mixed-use projects
The suitability of a particular lot depends on its specific development controls and the buyer’s intended use.
Coastal Block
The Coastal Block contains larger commercial parcels with stronger coastal-road and waterfront exposure.
This type of location can be relevant to developments where visibility, frontage, scale, and landmark positioning are important considerations.
Potential applications may include:
- Corporate headquarters
- Hotels
- Large commercial developments
- Mixed-use projects
- Other large-scale developments compatible with the estate’s controls
Commercial lots in the Greenway and Coastal areas should therefore be compared according to use case and development potential, rather than simply by asking price per square meter.
Why City di Mare Is Relevant to SRP
City di Mare does not exist in isolation.
It forms part of the broader South Road Properties development corridor, where multiple large-scale projects are contributing to Cebu City’s expansion toward the south.
Major developments around the SRP corridor include:
- SM Seaside City Cebu
- NUSTAR Resort & Casino
- City di Mare
- South Coast City
- Other residential, commercial, institutional, and tourism projects
This broader context matters because the value and utility of a commercial property are influenced not only by the individual lot, but also by its surrounding infrastructure, accessibility, neighboring developments, and eventual district function.
Our South Road Properties Cebu guide provides a broader analysis of the SRP corridor and how its different development areas fit together.
City di Mare for Businesses and Developers
City di Mare can be particularly relevant for buyers who are thinking beyond simply owning land.
For a business or developer, the more important question is:
What can the property realistically support?
That requires looking beyond the asking price.
A proper evaluation should consider:
1. Location Within City di Mare
A corner lot, mid-block property, coastal-facing parcel, and internally positioned property can have very different characteristics.
2. Development Controls
Buyers should understand applicable use restrictions, density requirements, FAR, building parameters, and other estate-level controls before committing to a property.
3. Accessibility
Road hierarchy and access to the Cebu South Coastal Road can materially affect the suitability of a property for different uses.
4. Surrounding Development
Existing residential communities, retail destinations, offices, institutions, and future developments can influence how a particular parcel functions.
5. Project Economics
The right property depends on the intended project.
A parcel suitable for a corporate office is not necessarily the best parcel for a hotel, medical facility, residential development, or mixed-use project.
6. Investment Horizon
Master-planned districts require buyers to distinguish between:
what exists today
and
what the estate is planned to become.
A buyer considering City di Mare commercial land should therefore be comfortable evaluating a longer development horizon rather than relying solely on current activity.
City di Mare vs. Other SRP Developments
City di Mare is one of several major developments within South Road Properties.
They should not necessarily be viewed as interchangeable.
| Development | General Role |
|---|---|
| City di Mare | Master-planned mixed-use township with residential, commercial, and waterfront components |
| SM Seaside City Cebu | Major regional retail and mixed-use destination |
| NUSTAR Resort & Casino | Large-scale tourism, hospitality, entertainment, and mixed-use destination |
| South Coast City | Large mixed-use development within the SRP corridor |
The right location depends on the buyer’s intended use, target market, required scale, accessibility, development controls, and investment horizon.
Is City di Mare a Good Place to Invest?
There is no single answer for every buyer.
The more useful question is:
What are you planning to do with the property, and does the specific City di Mare parcel support that strategy?
For a long-term commercial or development buyer, relevant considerations include:
- Intended use
- Acquisition price
- Lot size
- Location within the township
- Development controls
- Road exposure
- Surrounding projects
- Infrastructure
- Expected development timeline
- Financing requirements
- Holding period
- Exit strategy
A property can be attractive for one development strategy and unsuitable for another.
For high-value acquisitions, we recommend evaluating the specific parcel and proposed use together rather than making a decision based solely on the City di Mare name or SRP location.
As activity within the estate increases, City di Mare’s role within the broader South Road Properties corridor becomes easier to evaluate in relation to other major SRP developments.
