Living the dream at Cebu’s Shang Bauhinia Residences
Cebu City would refuse to leave one’s mind or heart so easily.
While it’s one of the Philippines’ oldest cities, it continues to captivate longtime locals, tourists, and savvy investors. And for a good reason.
The Queen City of the South is a vibrant cradle of Filipino spirituality and festivity. From centuries-old churches and historic forts to festivals, ancestral homes and museums, Cebu stands as a living testament to faith and heritage.
Its beaches and natural wonders also call to those craving an escape—whether it’s the pristine shores, hidden waterfalls, or scenic mountain trails, Cebu offers a paradise for every kind of traveler.
Grand future
But beyond its rich past, the city also thrives on reinvention—blending tradition with innovation, preserving its legacy while boldly shaping a future poised to become even grander.
Today, Cebu City remains a bustling tourism hub featuring sea-to-summit experiences. It’s a prominent university town with a deep talent pool, while its thriving workplaces offer opportunities for both job seekers and businesses.
There is thus great optimism about what else is in store for Cebu City, whose economy is being buoyed partly by big-ticket infrastructure projects meant to improve connectivity and unlock new opportunities for growth. All these make its residents fiercely proud of their home city, while many others are now seeking their rightful place in this booming city.
Pioneering development
One exceptional option would be Shang Bauhinia Residences, situated in the thriving Banilad district. Its developer, Shang Properties Inc. (SPI), aptly pays homage to all the things—both old and new, current and in-the-making—that make Cebu City popular.
Much like Cebu itself, Shang Bauhinia Residences is a jewel that’s hard to miss, standing tall at 52 stories high. For SPI’s pioneering development in Cebu City and its first-ever outside Metro Manila, the company has partnered with titans to create a project faithful to the aspirations of Cebuanos for luxury living.
SPI enlisted CASAS + Architects Inc., a leading local architectural firm; Hong Kong-based P&T Group, which has been in existence since 1868; and FM Architettura, renowned for bespoke spaces. That coming together celebrates and elevates Cebuano values and motifs through this beautifully built address and exemplary experiences.
Luxurious familiarity
As can be expected, Shang Bauhinia Residences is built with the company’s familiar signature take on luxury. All 1,069 units value comfort,
privacy, exclusivity and timelessness—qualities one can readily glean from the exceptional design, features to the finishes, and more.
Shang Bauhinia Residences also pushes to accommodate a more diverse set of homeowners with its pioneering dual-residence concept. More
traditional households can take up the Premium studio to two-bedroom suites. Higher floors, meanwhile, host the more spacious two- to three-bedroom options called “Shang Bauhinia Signature” units.
Perfectly melding SPI’s knack for resort-like amenities with Cebu City’s image as a hospitality mecca, Shang Bauhinia Residences features a combination of indoor and outdoor amenities.
Its podium level spans 3,800 sqm, dedicated to a pool, a fitness center, a lounge, play area, sauna and coworking spaces, among others. Signature residents get their own indoor lounge spaces, library, sky pool, infinity deck, gym, sauna and workspaces.
Finally, Shang Bauhinia Residences would not be a true offering to Cebu City without its strategic location—right beside schools, hospitals, workplaces and townships. All that indeed makes Cebu City linger in the mind, in the heart.
