CLARK FREEPORT -Property giant Megaworld is developing 85-hectares of land along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) in the municipali­ties of Marilao and Bocaue in Bulacan.

The firm aims 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 year s.

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

officer,

Northwin Global City will also host one of the stations of the ManilaClar­k 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 t r af f i c.
