In a move to address the pressing needs of Cebu's growing workforce, Ayala Land has officially launched its second CityFlats development in the metro. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for CityFlats Cebu I.T. Park was held on December 2, 2025, at the Cebu Business Park, introducing a modern residential solution designed for the city's young professionals.
A Solution to Urban Challenges: Time and Cost
Cebu City's rapid evolution into a bustling metropolis has brought familiar urban pains: grueling traffic that steals hours daily and rising rental costs that consume a large portion of income. For many, commuting can take one to two hours, leaving little time or money for savings and personal pursuits. This reality is driving demand for housing that is both affordable and strategically located near workplaces and essential services.
Jay Teodoro, Ayala Land Deputy Head for VisMin Estates, emphasized the project's goal. "Our aim is to make our estates more livable by providing practical, well-located homes for the city's workforce," Teodoro stated. He highlighted that young professionals should not have to sacrifice time, mobility, or community just to live in the city.
Designed for Value and Accessibility
The new CityFlats, situated along Leyte Loop in Cebu Business Park, features 392 fully furnished and move-in-ready rooms. The development is strategically crafted around the principles of accessibility and convenience.
Approximately 80% of the units are co-living spaces intended for long-term residents. Each co-living room comes complete with a workstation, bed, storage, air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private toilet and bath. For short-term needs, the property also offers hostel-type rooms equipped with queen- or twin-size beds, a mini-refrigerator, television, and a private kitchenette, catering to traveling professionals or employees on assignment.
Thoughtful design inclusions ensure PWD-inclusive units on every floor. Ground-floor amenities like a convenience store and laundromat, with more retail services coming soon, put daily necessities just steps away from residents.
Flexible Living on Your Own Terms
CityFlats distinguishes itself with flexible stay options, breaking away from rigid, long-term rental contracts. Residents can choose from daily hostel rates, perfect for travelers or project-based workers, or opt for long-term co-living leases suited for employees, fresh graduates, students, and digital freelancers.
This model is also attractive to companies looking for practical housing solutions for their staff. Daily rates start at Php 1,800 per night, while monthly co-living leases begin at Php 6,100. This pricing strategy makes a well-located, walkable lifestyle within major business districts a more attainable reality for many.
By combining a prime location, community-focused design, and all-inclusive amenities, CityFlats Cebu I.T. Park presents a compelling answer to the modern professional's desire to live where life happens—close to work, connections, and convenience, without financial strain. It stands as a new entry point to a balanced and fulfilling urban life in the heart of Cebu.
