Located on the
mountainside, overlooking Cebu City, The Strand is a place to promenade, a
place for Pasyal, for leisurely
walking, for culture, and for entertainment. It is envisioned as an active
destination away from the noise and pollution of the city. A place with a stong
sense of Maaliwalas – a
pleasant, serene, bright, and generous environment. The new town masterplan has been designed to create
a unique urban environment that cascades along the site’s topography.
The Strand offers an elevated fashion and style of tambay. The urban plan weaves a string of
religious, cultural, commercial and institutional buildings to a network of
residential communities below. The
Strand is designed as a street that negotiates the uneven terrain of the site
interlinking a series of destinations through gardens, pathways, covered walks,
and small parks. It is a place to
come together, to explore, and to stay.
