As of early April 2026, the South Road Properties (SRP) is shedding its "industrial" reputation for a pedestrian-first future, with the highly anticipated City Di Mare (CDM) bridge officially opening to the public this week.
For years, the South Road Properties (SRP) was a place you drove through, not in. But as of April 2026, that narrative has officially changed. The long-awaited pedestrian bridge linking the IL Corso lifetstyle mall with the broader City Di Mare (CDM) township has finally opened, creating a safe, elevated artery for residents and visitors. In the world of Cebu real estate, this isn't just a piece of concrete; it’s a "value multiplier." Developers are already seeing a spike in interest for residential units within the CDM "crown jewel" district, as the bridge successfully solves the SRP's biggest hurdle: connectivity.
This move toward a "socially-focused" urban design is being paired with the upcoming launch of a modern driving range and new commercial zones scheduled for May. By transforming the SRP into a walkable, cohesive ecosystem, Cebu is signaling to international investors that it is ready to move beyond "car-centric" development. For property owners in the south, the bridge represents the first major step in turning the SRP into a true 24/7 "live-work-play" destination that rivals the older business parks in the north.
