Found in a nature-rich expanse and far removed from the hectic comings and goings of city life, Southlinks Estate by Height Realty stands as a quiet, peaceful residence that generations can consider home. When you’re looking for a new place to settle down, it's essential to think long-term: will it be future-proof and adapt to your needs, or perhaps even those of your future family? The impact of one’s decision can be felt years down the line, which necessitates a home that can anticipate what tomorrow will bring.


The story begins with Height Realty founder and CEO Kevin Wong during his early morning visits to the then-golf course at Southlinks. Here, as the sun slowly rose on the horizon, he felt a profound sense of peace amid his surroundings, and he envisioned this daily scenery with his family. He wanted this feeling of calm to be shared with others who valued and appreciated it. “It felt natural to develop the estate into one that meets, if not exceeds, the highest standards of quality and living,” he shares.

From homes enshrouded by canopies of trees to green open spaces where families can thrive, the development doesn’t just accommodate holistic lifestyles, but encourages them. What lies beyond the walls of your home remains equally important as what lies within.

But he couldn’t have done it alone. Wong sought the help of experts—both locally and internationally—to make this development possible. These globally recognised firms built upon the unique advantages that Southlinks Estates possessed, including its accessible location and idyllic surroundings. “In choosing the world’s best,” Wong declares, “We are able to guarantee a development project of the highest standards, one that brings our vision to life.”

Curating Dreams

The primary identity of Southlinks Estate is rooted in its promise to curate dreams—this means carefully cultivating an environment where one’s aspirations can take root and flourish from a solid foundation. It achieves this through a number of ways: walkable trails, sprawling gardens, parks and a focus on design centred on open spaces.

Paradise Clubhouse

The  Paradise Clubhouse embodies this philosophy of curating dreams beautifully, providing residents with a space to pursue a holistic lifestyle, allowing them to focus their efforts on what matters most to them. In many ways, it is the estate itself. Designed by Rios, it features a flowing, open-air design that allows fresh air to circulate and a central garden to flourish. 

“Central gathering spaces embody our 'kanlungan' concept at Southlinks Estate,” Claudia Melniciuc, Rios Singapore studio director, explains. “This creates a haven where multi-generational families celebrate life's moments together and form authentic bonds with their community.” It fulfils this role admirably through a variety of community-oriented areas and amenities.

Move

Southlinks Estate naturally encourages a holistic and active lifestyle not only through its lush surroundings, but also in how it builds spaces to complement it. Its indoor basketball and tennis courts enable residents to engage in friendly games with family, friends and neighbours, while the fitness and yoga centres would allow residents to pursue their personal fitness goals as they please. Children won’t be left out either, as they can run and roam free in their playroom.

Unwind

Augmenting the central garden space are several other areas where one can find moments of peace and calm. The Golf Cafe doubles as a laid-back establishment and as a cosy spot to enjoy a round of virtual golf—a nod to the golf course that once stood here. Residents can also indulge in the leisure pool, catch their favourite shows at the screening room, or enter the virtual world in the game lounge. 

Connect

At its core, the clubhouse is a place to foster friendships, relationships and family values. Spaces dedicated to this purpose are crucial to any community, and Southlinks Estate is no different. Homeowners can utilise party rooms to celebrate any milestone, from birthdays to anniversaries. The event hall can accommodate larger crowds and gatherings for various grander functions. Whatever the occasion, Southlinks Estate makes it possible to make the day unforgettable.

SUSTAINABLE, BREATHABLE, INVALUABLE

Integral to Southlinks Estate is its intricate relationship with nature. This dynamic is inherent, as it stands on the grounds of what was once a serene golf course. The development further builds upon its existing verdant environment, treating the existing trees and patches of green not as obstacles, but as guides to inform its layouts. The Paradise Clubhouse, for instance, hugs and navigates the very slopes it is built on, which translates into a deeply organic feel.
‍
Thousands of trees previously found across the golf course have been thoughtfully preserved and kept in a nursery for replanting throughout the estate, ensuring continuity of the site’s natural heritage.

In recognition of its sustainability-forward design, Southlinks Estate is proudly registered under the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) program and is currently undergoing the certification process.

 “At Southlinks Estate, nature comes first,” Wong asserts. “Forty per cent of the estate is dedicated to green spaces, and we’ve preserved over 1,800 trees while committing to planting 2,000 more.” In addition, Southlinks Estate features one of Metro Manila's longest linear parks, with smaller, thoughtfully placed parks throughout, granting homeowners a welcome retreat.

In a country that experiences long periods of torrential rains and sweltering heat, countermeasures are necessary to address these realities. The Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) advisory and sustainability services lead of AECOM Asia, Sylvester Wong, looks to the greatest climate defence we have: nature itself. “The masterplan design guidelines celebrate and enable the use of existing trees within individual lots to promote contiguous and more effective canopies across multiple owners,” he shares. “These provide shade and shelter, as well as a buffer from storms.” These also enhance the existing drainage systems present during the location’s time as a golf course. Combined, these qualities allow it to stand firm in the face of inclement weather.

Supporting these trees are the natural architectural features of the houses themselves. The expansive, sinuous roofs allow residents to continue a diverse range of outdoor activities comfortably. “Simultaneously, this promotes natural ventilation and connecting interior spaces to the lush landscape in an environmentally responsive and culturally authentic way,” Melniciuc remarks.

A life without lines

At Southlinks Estate, the blurring of the line between where one lives and where nature begins is intentional. It is an organic coming-and-going motion, allowing one to feel just as connected with the outside as they are in their own home. This development stands firm in a world where such spaces are quickly becoming a thing of the past. 

“It is being able to raise one’s family in a community where values are so shared that lines become invisible, where we aren’t limited by artificial lines, but instead see that greatness is possible beyond the limits put to us by the world,” Sylvester declares.

Live a life without lines at Southlinks Estate, where every moment spent is a moment cherished.
