Property giant Megaworld is developing 85-hectares of land along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in the municipalities of Marilao and Bocaue in Bulacan to transform it into a ‘global business district’ that will give the province its first-ever metropolitan hub for business and lifestyle.
Northwin Global City will be strategically located just 20 kilometers north of Metro Manila and can be accessed via Marilao Exit of NLEX. It will also be just 20 minutes away from the proposed New Manila International Airport in Bulacan, and just five minutes away from the Philippine Arena.
Megaworld is allocating P98-billion to develop this new integrated urban township in the next 15 to 20 years.
The township will have its own themed
commercial district, high-rise residential condominiums, hotels, malls, mixed-use
commercial buildings, educational institutions, and state-of-the-art office
towers.
Forty percent (40%) of the entire township development
will be dedicated to green and open spaces such as landscaped parks.
The company will also be integrating its iTownship
features into Northwin Global City such as the installation of
solar-powered and LED streetlights, underground cabling system, fiber optic
cabling, bike lanes, storm water detention facility for flood prevention,
intermodal transport terminal, and other sustainable infrastructure for
mobility and connectivity.
“Finally, our vision of having a truly
modern and global business district for Bulacan is coming to a reality. This is
like building a new city that will put the province of Bulacan in the global business
map because we envision huge multinational companies to be operating here once
our commercial district and our office towers will be completed. Northwin Global
City’s close proximity to Metro Manila and its ideal location just along
NLEX and the major transport infrastructure will be very favorable for the
future locators and residents of this township,” says Kevin L. Tan, chief
strategy officer, Megaworld.
Northwin Global City will also host one of the stations of 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 Metro Manila
as well as to and from Clark International Airport.
“Once completed, Northwin Global City
will have convenient access to three international airports in Bulacan, Clark,
and even in Metro Manila. By then, we hope to be able to create more jobs for
Filipinos especially in that part of Central Luzon,” adds Tan.
From the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Makati Central Business District, and Bonifacio Global City, Northwin Global City can also be easily accessed via the Skyway 3 towards NLEX, which will only take around an hour during normal traffic.
