Following the launch of the first lyf property in Malate, Manila, The Ascott Limited recently announced its expansion into the Visayas and Mindanao region with the opening of lyf Cebu City, the first international co-living serviced residence in the city.

Among the key personalities present at its launch were Rey Vergel Mulat, lyf Cebu City's POP champion, and Eunice Lodripas, director of Communications at The Ascott Limited.
Mathias Bergundthal, the Cebu Landmasters director of Hotels and Assets, was also in attendance along with Denise Olegario, director of Sales and Distribution at The Ascott Limited.
Convenience
Strategically located in the heart of Cebu, lyf Cebu City adds to the spirited atmosphere that the city made its name out of. The property will be located at Tower 3, Baseline Center, Cebu, and is only a car drive away from Cebu CBD.
Moreover, being at Tower 3, means guests are likely surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city. This area offers a mix of commercial, residential and recreational spaces, creating a dynamic environment, that can be attractive for individuals seeking a balance between work and lifestyle. Such strategic locations also often witness ongoing urban development, adding to the value of the property over time.
Stepping inside the interior of the property, lyf Cebu City presents a wide range of amenities designed to foster a sense of community. Guests can choose from a selection of One of a Kind (studio), Side by Side (twin) and All Together (two-bedroom and four-bedroom) apartment units to suit their preferences. The Connect (coworking space and communal lounge) provides an inspiring environment for collaboration, networking and a sense of community, while Nook (private working spaces) offers a peaceful and quiet sanctuary ideal for focused work.
In addition, lyf Cebu City's Bond (social kitchen) is an area where guests can unleash and let out their culinary creativity and build connections with fellow professionals that extend beyond work. The Wash and Hang (social launderette) ensures convenience and cleanliness, while the property's pool offers a space to relax and share stories while taking in breathtaking views of the city. Health enthusiasts can also stay on track with their fitness goals without leaving the premises of the lyf with the Burn (social gym), a 24-hour fully equipped fitness center.
The lyf crew are all dedicated to providing every guest with an exceptional experience throughout their stay. The crew is readily available to give local insider information, assist with inquiries, facilitate community-building activities and foster a sense of belongingness and camaraderie among the guests.
"The expansion of our lyf property into Cebu marks an exciting milestone not only for lyf but also for The Ascott Limited as a whole. lyf Cebu City is only the beginning as we are determined to bring our innovative and community-focused properties to new locations," said lyf residence manager Rey Vergel Mulat.
