by Herbert Kikoy
Oct 09, 2021
While we were enjoying South Road Properties’ (SRP’s) scenic views and photoworthy spots this past few years, the place has also been continuously growing in terms of commercial, leisure, and other infrastructure developments.
This thriving place, located at the southern part of Cebu City and nearby Talisay City, has all the conveniences you need with its malls and lifestyle centers. It has impressive themed parks and is very accessible to adventure and recreation places in Cebu South. Also, some of its ongoing developments are expected to become the biggest destinations in Cebu.
Here are the beautiful existing and soon-to-be go-to places that will propel the business, leisure and tourism activities in this emerging commercial and lifestyle district.
Isla dela Victoria
Renowned for its luxurious amenities, Isla dela Victoria is a world-class establishment. Set to rise on 350, 000 sqm. land in Kawit Island, this resort and casino will house numerous bars, restaurants, theatre, as well as hotels. Led by John Gokongwei, The Universal Hotels and Resorts Inc (UHRI) has increased its investment from 18 billion to 25 billion for the development of the project. The Isla dela Victoria will be the hub for cruise ships, ferries, and seaplane airlines, increasing investment value in South Road Properties.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Isla La Victoria was named after Jojo dela Victoria, a fisherman who died protecting our waters against dynamite fishing?
SM Ayala Consortium
A rising enjoyment center in Cebu, SM Ayala’s Consortium is developed in partnership with the leading real estate moguls, Ayala Land Inc. and SM Prime Holdings. Constructed to generate and attract business entrepreneurs and investors, this project aims to be the catalyst of the city’s pursuit for continuous economic growth. This establishment includes an arena, a convention center, and a hectare park with many different mixed-use facilities.
SM Seaside City Cebu
As the largest mall in the Mindanao-Visayas region and the 4th biggest in the country, SM Seaside is definitely a favorite among the locals. With 400 stores, a big ice skating rink, 5 spacious cinemas, an 18-lane bowling center, a roof garden, and an advanced IMAX Theatre, this business establishment is unparalleled among others and surely one of a kind.
Il Corso Lifemalls
This resort-inspired establishment mall offers a wide variety of recreational and leisure activities. It has a 10-hectare al fresco with a stunning view of the sea and 4 state-of-the-art cinemas, giving guests and visitors a spectacular viewing experience.

Identified as the largest oceanarium in the Philippines and the first marine park in Visayas and Mindanao, Cebu Ocean Park can accommodate as many as 3,000 visitors. It promotes an open roof concept, a 360 viewing experience and is home to over 200 different species and animals. Its four main attractions include Jungle Trek, Multi-Animal Shows, Creepy Critters, and the Deep Tank Lagoon with a 7.2 water depth. Cebu Ocean Park is only 9.3 km. away from Talisay City and is very accessible in the area.
Anjo World Theme Park
Theme parks are not only meant for children, but also for the young at heart. Approximately 5 km. away or a short 11-minute drive from Talisay City is Cebu's first world-class theme park, the Anjo World Theme Park. It consists of more than 12 rides and attractions that will surely fill locals and tourists with unforgettable memories and excitement.

Situated at Cebu South Coastal Road, this Filipino restaurant is perfect for tourists and travelers to enjoy our native cuisine, along with the mesmerizing view of the sea and mountains.
South Town Centre
An authentic lifestyle mall, the South Town Centre is a 3-story industrial property in the busy city of Talisay. It was opened in 2015 and has various retail stores and restaurants as well as a gigantic convention hall for weddings and events.
PLUS: Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX)
The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway is a toll bridge connecting Cebu and Mactan Island. This development will provide connectivity and convenience in traveling between cities and will then give you easier access to even more lifestyle destinations. With this, the Mactan Cebu International Airport will also be just minutes away and will soon be making your vacation travels outside Cebu more pleasurable.
SRP district is indeed remarkably on the rise. Its rapid development increases the location’s appeal to the investment market. This undeniably will resort to more sustainable business opportunities and continual economic growth, and even an increased potential for real estate and condominium investments in the area.
