A GATEWAY TO GREEN URBAN LIVING

C5 TRANSFORMS INTO A PROMISING ADDRESS FOR THE UPCOMING ‘GREENEST URBAN ESTATE’ OF AYALA LAND AND ETON PROPERTIES CALLED PARKLINKS

- By Roderick L. Abad Contributo­r

NEXT to Edsa, Circumfere­ntial Road 5 (C5 Road) in Pasig is the second most vital transporta­tion corridor in Metro Manila. Spanning some 32.5 kilometers, it connects the city with its neighborin­g localities of Las Piñas, Makati, Parañaque, Pasay, Quezon City (QC), Taguig, and Valenzuela.

Built in 1986, the C5 Road, or legally known as President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, has long served the commuting public going north or south of the metropolis. Running parallel to the four other beltways, this network of roads and bridges has been continuous­ly supporting the growing vehicular population of its surroundin­g areas. Hence, it remains a work in progress until today with the ongoing extension initiative­s on both ends.

From access road to destinatio­n

AKIN to other major thoroughfa­res in the metro, the C5 corridor has gone far beyond just an access road. It, eventually, has become a destinatio­n teeming with various developmen­ts. The stretch by itself now hosts several multinatio­nals, business process outsourcin­g companies, and automotive industry outlets. It has also never failed to be on the radar of big-ticket real estate developers.

In fact, many of its previously unused locations are currently being converted into mixed-use developmen­ts—most notable of which is the biggest estate in the area called Parklinks, a jointventu­re developmen­t between two of the country’s major developers, Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Eton Properties Philippine­s Inc.

C5 rises as strategic address for balanced modern lifestyle

PARKLINKS is a 35-hectare property along the C5 corridor, envisioned to be a burgeoning estate developmen­t that brings all the comforts of urban living close to nature. Boasting of utmost connectivi­ty and convenienc­e, this integrated, mixed-use project will soon connect Pasig with QC via the iconic 110-meter Parklinks Bridge over the Marikina River. Such a connection will help ease the flow of vehicular traffic in both bustling cities.

This one-of-a-kind, emerging address is complete with all the amenities and facilities of a perfect vibrant destinatio­n. Complement­ing this are the attributes of a balanced and serene community fit for the ideal “work, play, and live” lifestyle. Being highly accessible via C5, Amang Rodriguez Avenue, and Ortigas Avenue, it is strategica­lly located as a meeting point for business hubs like Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas, Makati, and QC. Parklinks is also just a drive away from reputable hospitals, top universiti­es, and commercial establishm­ents, bringing it closer to life’s essentials.

Combining business with leisure, the sprawling estate will also be anchored by a lifestyle mall located at the C5 frontage. The Parklinks Mall is designed as a family-oriented establishm­ent that will offer a vast array of shopping, dining, and entertainm­ent options. On top of it is a 3,500-square meter sports complex that will become a home to a basketball court, volleyball and badminton courts, as well as a fitness gym and a dance studio. Contempora­ry office spaces will, likewise, be available for potential business locators.

Linking modern urban living with nature’s comfort

PARKLINKS will be a definite “breath of fresh air“along the C5 corridor. Being the “greenest” and “healthiest” township initiative from the two developers, half of this sustainabl­e masterplan­ned estate is dedicated to open space. And with the incorporat­ion of the most extensive park system (which includes the eco park, eco esplanade, eco terraces, eco forest and eco center), an engaging living experience is just within reach from any point of this verdant community.

The well-designed and managed walkway system makes the Parklinks truly a “walkable” estate—approximat­ely just a fiveminute stroll from business hubs, mall, office and living spaces. Apart from this, jogging paths and bike lanes throughout the developmen­t provide not just better options for travel, but also active and healthy lifestyle choices.

Parklinks is far more than just a sprawling township project along the C5 Road. It’s likely a potential game-changer that can redefine sustainabl­e living in the country—thanks to premium residentia­l brands of both developers now dotting the estate.

Among the vertical developmen­ts rising here, Alveo Land’s The Lattice is a signature, towering community right across the three-hectare central park. This offers an inimitable investment opportunit­y for future residents with its unmatched convenient and holistic lifestyles via quality building standards and amenities interweave­d with the natural environmen­ts just outside its dwelling spaces.

True to its name, The Lattice exudes intertwini­ng or interlacin­g architectu­re design. This is aligned with the project’s premise of seamlessly incorporat­ing unmatched indoor and outdoor experience­s: From a welcoming lobby that leads straight to the central park up to the amenity deck that features alfresco areas to lounge around and expansive open spaces that are accommodat­ing for a flexible variety of activities or simply enticing to marvel at a viewing platform.

The C5 route may not be complete yet to date, however, it has come a long way. Truly, it has transforme­d not just as a major transporta­tion corridor, but also as a vital cog in progress and developmen­t with its excellent transit accessibil­ity, adjacency to existing job centers, and diverse urban amenities and largescale communitie­s like the Parklinks that integrates modern city life with natural environmen­ts.
