CEBU CITY — For the first time in almost four decades, a prominent destination in this city will be closed to the public for renovation starting Oct. 21.
Tops Lookout, located in a hilly portion of Cebu City, would be transformed into a “world tourist destination,” according to its management.
“Despite its temporary closure, we are keeping and enhancing what it has always been while building new things to make Tops even better,” read a statement released on Oct. 1 by its owners.
The mountain park, known in Cebu simply as “Tops” will be reopened as a joint venture between Fifth Avenue Property Development Corp. and EMRO Holdings Inc.
The management has yet to disclose the renovation cost.
