Through TARI Estate, Aboitiz Economic Estates continues to expand its footprint into Central Luzon while advancing its role as a developer and operator of smart and sustainable industrial-anchored townships. Recently, the mixed-use industrial development arm of the Aboitiz group announced that the first 200 hectares of TARI Estate are scheduled to be operational by the end of the second quarter of the year.
“TARI Estate reflects the company’s continued development of fully integrated estates designed to support manufacturing activity, operational continuity, and long-term expansion in the Philippines,” said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and chief executive officer of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land.
In the same period, the project’s Phase 1 perimeter fence, covering 90 hectares, is also expected to be completed. In addition, the estate’s South Access Road is scheduled to open, providing direct access and improving mobility for construction activities, logistics operations, and early-stage estate operations.

In the next quarter, operations of the PEZA-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.
Aboitiz Economic Estates said early participation in TARI Estate offers prospective locators and investors access to planned infrastructure, scalable industrial space, and future expansion opportunities during the estate’s initial development phase.
The milestone will add new integrated industrial capacity to Central Luzon as manufacturing growth expands beyond established southern corridors. 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.
Towards Central Luzon’s industrial future
TARI Estate is a 384-hectare industrial-led estate located in Tarlac City, about 35 minutes from Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

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. TARI Estate reflects our continued development of fully-integrated developments designed to support manufacturing activity, operational continuity, and long-term expansion in the Philippines,” said de Mesa.
Once fully operational, 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.
Through TARI Estate, Aboitiz Economic Estates continues to expand its footprint into Central Luzon while advancing its role as a developer and operator of smart and sustainable industrial-anchored townships. The estate strengthens the company’s broader portfolio, which includes Mactan Economic Zone 2 Estate and West Cebu Estate in Cebu, and LIMA Estate in Batangas.
