Lofty dreams in South Forbes

The coolest places to live these days are condominiums, the hip pads of urban-dwelling young professionals, young couples, even empty-nesters and retirees. What’s even more cool are the loft-type units where you get the extra space within a space.

You can have the same urban conveniences in a suburban location where the grass is greener and the air is cleaner at South Forbes Golf City, the largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city in the Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay corridor. The project is a recipient of the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, a prestigious property awards program, for Best Golf Community Development.

Edgy location. The location must provide opportunities for work and play, ideally steps away from one’s front door, as well as convenient access to entertainment venues, restaurants and health clubs.

Anyway, Edgar Kauffman, Jr., a style guru in postwar New York City is responsible for introducing the designs to America, where they caught on quickly with young moderns. Seems that the young moderns weren't actually that radical since...
