Pampanga Technopark, a project of AyalaLand Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) in Mabalacat City, is rising as a prominent up-and-coming business and lifestyle destination in Central Luzon.
The 270-hectare mixed-used development will be home to various establishments, including a 3,000-square meter (sq.m.) agricultural and retail wholesale market or “bagsakan” of various local produce from Luzon.
Proper facilities will be provided to support the region’s agricultural supply chains.
Set to be completed in the first half of 2024 are ALogis Mabalacat, an 8,000-sq.m. ready-built facility for lease, and the ALogis Artico Mabalacat cold storage which will offer 5,000 pallet positions, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to -20°C.
‘The development is in a strategic position and location to help drive economic activity in Central Luzon.’
Apart from the industrial establishments, visitors and guests of Pampanga Technopark will also find shopping, dining, and recreational options for their enjoyment. Over 30 retail spaces, encompassing 2,000 sq.m. of gross leasable area, will be included in the development, housing a variety of restaurants and other retail and service establishments. Prospective investors looking for business opportunities in Pampanga can find available lots for commercial uses such as shops and outlets, medical centers, offices, co-working spaces, and business hotels.
On top of these features, the Pampanga Technopark will foster a green environment with native trees foreseen to add a picturesque backdrop to the township.
These trees will also serve as protection from environmental stress and geohazards. To further strengthen the township’s disaster resiliency, there will be five detention ponds for rainwater absorption.
These sustainability features are further complemented by pedestrian-friendly sidewalks throughout the property to encourage pedestrian mobility, while public transport terminals will allow easy accessibility for in-city and regional routes. Meanwhile, open and green spaces, including a dedicated 1.2-hectare park area, will be available to allow people to enjoy the outdoors.
“All these are set to contribute and align with the government’s push for countryside development and industrialization — and Pampanga Technopark is in a strategic position and location to help drive economic activity in the region,” said Robert Lao, ALLHC president and chief executive officer.
Pampanga Technopark is accessible through major road networks including the North Luzon Expressway, Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway and MacArthur Highway. Soon, adding to the convenience is a gas station for motorists. The Technopark will likewise benefit from the ongoing North-South Commuter Railway project, connecting the existing Tutuban (Manila) Station to Clark, Pampanga.
The Pampanga Technopark recently hosted an appreciation night where it shared the potential and vision for ALLHC’s first master-planned industrial and commercial estate in Central Luzon.
Joining Lao during the appreciation night were executives from ALLHC including chief operating officer Patrick Avila, chief finance officer Francis Montojo, head of Industrial Parks and Real Estate Logistics Gabriel Sioson, and ALLHC subsidiary Unity Realty Development Corp. director Rowena Tomeldan.
Also in attendance were its partner-stakeholders from the Pampanga provincial and local government.
