Megaworld starts building P98-B Bulacan CBD

Published Mar 10, 2023 07:02 am
Township developer Megaworld Corporation has started the construction of Bulacan’s first central business district (CBD), which is envisioned to become a major catalyst for economic growth and development in the province. In a statement, Megaworld said it is investing P98 billion to develop the 85-hectare Northwin Global City along North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) into a “global business district” for Bulacan. The development is envisioned to mirror the same kind of vibrancy and dynamism that characterizes Megaworld’s other pioneering township developments in Quezon City, Taguig City, and Iloilo City. “We are delighted to finally bring our vision for Bulacan’s first-ever global business district to reality here in Northwin Global City,” said Megaworld Chief Strategy Officer Kevin L. Tan. He added that, “It is both a pleasure and an honor to work together with the Provincial Government of Bulacan, as well as the two progressive municipalities of Marilao and Bulacan.” “We hope to be able to add great value to them and their respective constituents by helping create jobs and opportunities as we continue developing Northwin Global City into Bulacan’s very own world-class central business district,” Tan noted. Straddling the municipalities of Marilao and Bocaue in Bulacan and located just 20 kilometers away from Metro Manila, Northwin Global City features a 16-hectare CBD called “Northwin Main Street.” The district, which draws inspiration from the master plan behind New York City’s Fifth Avenue, will soon feature corporate buildings, shophouses, hotels, and mixed-use commercial towers that are all just a short walk away from one another. The township will also have several high-rise residential condominiums, foremost of which is the 23-storey 9 Central Park that was launched last year. Featuring French industrial architecture inspired by Greenwich West in New York City, 9 Central Park offers 478 “smart home” units that each come with a wireless smart home system. This will provide residents the ease and convenience of controlling several features, including lighting and appliances, via a dedicated phone app. Other features of Northwin Global City include its very own lifestyle mall, educational institutions, and curated gardens and parks that make up about 40 percent of the entire development. The township will also boast several iTownship features, such as the installation of solar-powered and LED streetlights, underground cabling system, fiber optic cabling, bike lanes, a stormwater detention facility for flood prevention, intermodal transport terminal, and other sustainable infrastructure for mobility and connectivity. More importantly, Northwin Global City will also feature one of the stations of the 147-kilometer North-South Commuter Railway, also known as the Manila-Clark Railway Project. Once completed, future residents, locators, and even visitors of the township will have the most convenient access to and from the Clark International Airport and the soon-to-rise New Manila International Airport (NMIA) in Bulacan.
