IL Corso continues to evolve as Cebu's premier vibrant lifestyle destination, The next big thing on the horizon is the scenic cruise rides courtesy of the soon-to-open Salty Cruise. Stay tuned!
Across the Visayas, retail is evolving beyond shopping. Increasingly, malls are becoming places where communities gather, local culture thrives, and everyday experiences feel more connected to the places people call home.
For Filinvest Malls, the retail business unit of Filinvest Land, this shift is shaping how it continues to expand across the region. Today, its Visayas portfolio spans destination retail, community malls, and amenity retail developments designed to complement the unique lifestyles of the communities they serve.

At the heart of Cebu’s southern district is IL Corso, Filinvest Malls’ 18,049-square-meter lifestyle destination located within the master-planned City di Mare township. Known for its panoramic views of the Cebu Strait, open-air dining spaces, and relaxed seaside atmosphere, IL Corso has become a favorite gathering place for families and friends looking to enjoy Cebu’s vibrant dining and leisure scene.
Local dining favorites such as Parilya Seafood and Grill, Hukad, and Chika-an sa Cebu, offer an authentic Cebuano dining experience, while recreational attractions, including The Cebu Lighthouse, add to the destination’s distinct coastal appeal. This is complemented by a strong lineup of outlet and lifestyle retail brands such as Puma, Converse, Skechers, New Balance, Levi’s, and Giordano, giving visitors more accessible shopping options within the same setting.
Driving this coastal lifestyle is a vibrant mix of recreation, nightlife, and unique attractions. IL Corso is cementing its status as a vibrant lifestyle destination through dynamic community activities like South Court Paddle—celebrated as the first mall-hosted Pickleball tournament in Cebu back in 2023. This energy is further elevated by the recently opened NO5 Entertainment Bar, providing a fresh evening destination for visitors. Adding to the coastal excitement is the soon-to-open Salty Cruise, which will introduce scenic cruise rides directly to the venue, offering an entirely new way to experience the Cebu Strait.
While IL Corso has traditionally been a premier weekend sanctuary, escaping to the coast has become an effortless daily reality. Thanks to the integration of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) route, the commute to the southern district is completely streamlined. This enhanced transit connectivity transforms the seaside retreat into an accessible, everyday lifestyle choice for daily commuters and travelers alike.
With an additional 18,518 square meters of expansion planned for 2026, IL Corso continues to strengthen its position as one of Cebu's most distinctive lifestyle destinations.

The seamless accessibility unlocked by the region's infrastructure does not stop at the coast. The very same ease of movement that carries visitors to IL Corso maps directly into the heart of the city’s primary economic engine, linking the relaxed seaside energy of the south with an ecosystem built entirely around high-efficiency urban living.
Strategically situated at the base of Filinvest Cebu Cyberzone (FCC) Tower 3, Filinvest Shoppes Cebu serves as the urban counterpart to IL Corso's coastal retreat. This 5,746-square-meter amenity retail destination is engineered specifically for the fast-paced routines of the Cebu IT Park crowd. For FCC tenants, BPO professionals, and neighborhood residents, this hub acts as an immediate, friction-free extension of their workday, erasing the line between professional productivity and personal life.

Robinsons Supermarket anchors Filinvest Shoppes Cebu as a key retail destination, offering convenient access to everyday essentials while supporting the needs of surrounding communities within a highly accessible neighborhood setting. |
Recent additions such as Robinsons Supermarket, Youngcha Wellness Studio, Nail Cocktales Hand and Foot Spa, Queens Pizza, Barracks (BRX) and T&J Salon Professionals reflect the growing demand for accessible retail experiences that seamlessly fit into modern urban lifestyles.
Whether it's picking up groceries after work, enjoying a wellness session, or meeting friends over a meal, Filinvest Shoppes Cebu demonstrates how retail can become a natural extension of daily life.

Further south, Filinvest Malls Dumaguete brings a community-centered retail experience to one of the region's fastest-growing university and tourism hubs.
Located within Marina Town along the scenic Dumaguete Bay, the 3,759-square-meter development combines local favorites and national brands in a setting that reflects the city's relaxed coastal character.
Homegrown institutions such as Sans Rival Bistro-Bar Lounge and Mrs. Breadworth Bakery Cafe, are complemented by national brands including Power Mac Center, alongside other established lifestyle and essential tenants. Beyond convenience, the mall contributes to the city's tourism and economic activity by creating opportunities for local businesses, generating employment, and providing a modern gathering place for the community.

As Dumaguete continues to attract students, professionals, and tourists, the mall plays an increasingly important role in supporting the city's evolving lifestyle and commercial landscape.
