Shang Properties, Inc. has entered the Cebu market with the launch of Shang Bauhinia Residences, its inaugural luxury residential development outside Metro Manila. This new venture aims to set a benchmark for luxury living in the city, blending Shang Properties’ signature elegance and exclusivity with Cebu’s dynamic urban landscape. Located along the tree-lined Bauhinia Drive and just minutes away from Cebu I.T. Park, the development promises a unique blend of serenity, convenience, and sophisticated living.
“We hosted a number of focus groups with people from all walks of life – with different ages and different professions. We asked them, ‘If a good development came to Cebu, what would you like to see? What do you think you would need ten years from now?’ We hosted these FGDs because we wanted to get it right, and we wanted to bring something to the market that is different. We went through an incredible amount of feedback, and that enabled us to develop the product that we have today. That’s how the Signature units were born because the younger market said there needs to be something special, there need to be different units from the rest of the building,” shared Wolfgang Krueger, Executive Director of Shang Properties, Inc. (SPI).
Shang Bauhinia Residences stands as a testament to Shang Properties’ commitment to redefining luxury living. Designed in collaboration with internationally renowned firms P&T Group, CASAS + Architects Inc., and FM Architettura, the project combines luxury and functionality to offer residents a truly personalized living experience. The development features a mix of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units, catering to a diverse range of lifestyle needs.
The highlight of the development is its Signature Units. These exclusive units offer less than a hundred spacious and meticulously designed homes, providing added privacy and elevated experiences. Residents of these upper floors can enjoy the convenience of a private lift and exclusive access to the Signature Lounge, which features a stunning sky pool, a modern gym, a sauna, and private entertainment venues.
“Shang has always been a household staple to most Cebuanos as Shangri-la opened its doors in 1993, the place has become a monumental symbol of life’s milestones. [Now] Shang Residences Bauhinia marks our entry in the Cebu residential market, and it is anchored and rooted in the heritage of hospitality and craftsmanship that locals fell in love with. We have broken ground in the second quarter of this year, and it marks the start of something beautiful and meaningful to the Cebuanos. Shang Bauhinia Residences is set to make a mark with its well-appointed residential units, superb amenities to provide comfort and luxurious living,” enthused Maria Rochelle S. Diaz, Executive Vice President of Commercial.
Shang Bauhinia Residences also incorporates local artistry into its design, celebrating Cebuano craftsmanship through traditional materials and artistic elements that reflect Cebu’s rich cultural heritage. The property features an expansive podium level with a 3,800 sqm area filled with amenities. Residents can also enjoy private entertainment rooms and dining spaces, along with the expansive ballroom for parties and special events.
With its prime location, Shang Bauhinia Residences offers stunning panoramic views of Cebu, from the lush green fields of the nearby Cebu Country Club and the striking city skyline to serene sea views and surrounding mountains. The property provides easy access to educational institutions, medical facilities, sports centers, and retail hubs. It is also just minutes away from key business districts, including Cebu I.T. Park and Cebu Business Park, offering residents the perfect blend of tranquility and city convenience.
