Aboitiz Economic Estates, a subsidiary of Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc., expects the first 200 hectares (ha) of the 384-ha TARI Estate industrial estate in Tarlac City to be operationally ready before the end of the second quarter of 2026.

The firm said in a statement on Monday, May 25, that the milestone will add new integrated industrial capacity to Central Luzon region as manufacturing growth expands beyond established southern corridors.

The initial phase will establish TARI Estate’s operating footprint ahead of early anchor locators, including Ajinomoto Philippines Corp. and Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP).

Key site works, access infrastructure, and on-site government support facilities are also being advanced to support future locator operations.

Industrial growth in the Philippines has long been concentrated around mature corridors in south Luzon, where manufacturing ecosystems, infrastructure networks, and workforce communities have developed over decades.

As demand for industrial space continues to grow, activity is increasingly extending northward into areas capable of supporting long-term production capacity, logistics requirements, and future expansion.

In Central Luzon, TARI Estate is being positioned to support this shift by introducing a new industrial platform backed by coordinated planning, scalable infrastructure, and estate operations discipline.

Development activities currently underway reflect the foundational systems required to support future locator operations. Within the second quarter of 2026, the phase-one perimeter fence covering 90 ha will be completed, securing the initial operational footprint of the estate.

TARI Estate’s south access road is also expected to commence operations, creating direct entry into the estate and improving movement for construction activity, logistics, and early operational flow across the site.

At the main entrance, key site works will establish the estate’s primary entry point and define access into the 384-ha industrial core as development progresses into its next phase.

By the third quarter of 2026, operations of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA)-Bureau of Customs (BOC) complex within the estate are scheduled to commence, supporting locator processing requirements and facilitating coordination for government permits and clearances as business activity expands within TARI Estate.

As economic activity continues to expand across Luzon, TARI Estate forms part of a broader effort to strengthen the Philippines’ industrial platform through integrated infrastructure, regional connectivity, and operational readiness.

“Manufacturing investment follows environments where infrastructure, utilities, and logistics can support operations consistently over the long term,” said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land Inc..

He noted that, “TARI Estate reflects our continued development of fully integrated developments designed to support manufacturing activity, operational continuity, and long-term expansion in the Philippines.”

At full build-out, TARI Estate is projected to generate over 60,000 jobs, with integrated components such as commercial lots, retail centers, office buildings, residential communities, dormitories, institutional and hospitality zones, and a future transport terminal. - James A. Loyola
