AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) aims to build its national footprint by being in 10 key areas by 2025, creating a network of industrial and logistics developments by following the key road infrastructure and the nautical highway.
Pampanga Technopark is the next up and coming project that will realize this aspiration, strengthening ALLHC’s foothold in Central Luzon.
Envisioned to be a new growth center in the region, the 270-hectare development is the first master-planned agro-industrial township in Central Luzon.
Pampanga Technopark will serve as a mixed-use development. Currently, phases 1 and 2 are registered with the Board of Investments (BOI) as domestic industrial zones, with phase 3 lined up next.
“We will introduce a modern food terminal and this will be supported by our cold storage and dry warehouse facilities. Farmers from Northern Luzon and all over Central Luzon can bring their produce here, and we can preserve and store them with the proper facilities. We hope this would help all the farmers and our supply chain,” said Jose Emmanuel Jalandoni, ALLHC president and chief executive officer.
Jalandoni added: “What is happening here in Pampanga Technopark is a new township. Industrial park, agro hub, commercial, retail — beneficial to all Pampangueños. Through Pampanga Technopark, we are committed to work together to create employment opportunities for all Filipinos.”
With shopping, dining, and recreational spaces soon to rise in Pampanga Technopark, the development is designed to bring lifestyle experiences to the communities working and residing within or around the area.
Pampanga Technopark is allotting 2,000 square meters (sq.m.) of gross leasable area across over 30 retail spaces featuring homegrown Kapampangan restaurants, plus several retail and service merchants.
On top of this, lots are also available for commercial uses such as shops and outlets, medical centers, offices, co-working spaces, business hotels, and more. There will also be a variety of quick service restaurants and a gas station for motorists.
Pampanga Technopark will be a new location of a bagsakan (agricultural wholesale market) which will be complemented by ALLHC’s ALogis and ALogis Artico facilities, all slated for completion within the first half of 2024.
The ALogis ready-built facilities will span 8,000 square meters (sq.m.) of warehouse space, while ALogis Artico cold storage will feature 5,000 pallet positions with temperature ranging from 10°C to -20°C. The bagsakan will cover 3,000 sq.m. of space, offering both wholesale and retail of agricultural produce and local products within the marketplace. All components will support the agriculture supply value chain in Luzon.
Located in Mabalacat City, one of the biggest transportation hubs in Central Luzon, Pampanga Technopark will be accessible through various major road networks including the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), and MacArthur Highway. Additionally, the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project will soon connect the existing Tutuban (Manila) Station to Clark.
Pampanga Technopark is poised to serve as a gateway to the international markets. Strategically located near major infrastructures, it is approximately 30 minutes away from Clark International Airport and an hour away from Subic Bay International Terminal. The upcoming New Manila International Airport will be roughly an hour away from the development.
Pampanga Technopark ensures pedestrian mobility and transit connectivity with allocated sidewalks throughout the township and an easily-accessible public transport terminal serving both in-city and regional transit routes. Helping improve the property’s resilience to environmental stress and geohazards are native trees to be used for landscaping, five detention ponds serving as spaces for rainwater absorption, and green and open spaces including a dedicated 1.2-hectare park area.
