How Kevin Wong is shaping the future of luxury living with Southlinks Estate

“During the pandemic, golf at Southlinks became my Zen retreat,” Wong shared. He was at the course early—around six in the morning—and found it to be a very peaceful time. “I envisioned waking up to that daily scenery with my family. Those walks at the links inspired me to unlock the potential of this property. I wanted to share the experience with people like me, people who value nature and peace and quiet.” 

Wong developed Southlinks Estate as a way for others to feel that same serenity and tranquillity. Nestled in a highly sought-after location, it is easily accessible via Daang Hari road and just moments from Alabang’s central business district. Backed and financed by a strategic partnership with the Philippine Bank of Communications, it provides the ideal mix of urban proximity and a measure of privacy within a peaceful enclave. But above all, community matters. “We carefully screen all buyers and future residents. We want to ensure that neighbours share our vision and values,” he explained.

Their master planner, AECOM, is one of the world’s most renowned urban planning firms. Meanwhile, RIOS, another internationally acclaimed firm, designed their clubhouse, which Wong considers the “heart” of the estate. An exclusive underground passageway seamlessly connects the Clubhouse to the Lifestyle Centre, allowing residents to conveniently and effortlessly move between them. Residents can have peace of mind, knowing that the estate's comprehensive round-the-clock surveillance is always active. RFID access ensures they can enjoy the freedom to embrace their surroundings.

In an increasingly urban and fast-paced environment, we might sometimes forget to slow down and savour the moment. The sprawling 1.8-hectare clubhouse is meant to change that. More than just a social and leisure hub, it offers world-class facilities, including a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a resort-style pool, and elegant event spaces—extending the comforts of home in a community-driven setting. A future lifestyle centre will also meet the needs or wants that one may have, with a curated selection of dining, retail, and essentials just moments away.

But of course, a verdant environment is crucial to maintain a deep connection and closeness to nature. It features one of Metro Manila's longest linear parks and thoughtfully placed smaller parks all throughout, granting homeowners a welcome retreat. “At Southlinks Estate, nature comes first,” Wong asserted. “Forty percent of the estate is dedicated to green spaces, and we’ve preserved over 1,800 trees while committing to planting 2,000 more.” These sustainable initiatives are reflected in the development's infrastructure, such as its three-phase underground electrical system, renewable energy solutions, and efficient water conservation processes. Here, a modern sanctuary and environmental responsibility coexist.

These combined qualities make each home something to leave behind to your family. Its prime location, impeccable construction and design, vast open spaces, and a strict adherence to only the highest standards result in a residence that will last a lifetime. When Wong envisioned the estate, he endeavoured to create something that replicated what he felt each time he stepped onto that golf course. With its inventive blueprint alone, it seems that Southlinks will achieve exactly this, and will become a place where the things that truly matter are well within reach.
