Revitalize­d North: Cloverleaf Balintawak’s story of emergence

-

Balintawak’s transforma­tion is a story for the books. From being a vital entry point of revolution­ary troops during the Spanish occupation, the district has grown into a hub for fresh produce and commoditie­s, and, today, an area poised to become the next destinatio­n for retail, leisure, and lifestyle options.

Standing at one of Metro Manila’s primary transport convergenc­e points, linking EDSA, A. Bonifacio, and North Luzon Expressway, Balintawak is considered the gateway of the capital in the north and at the center of this land, emerges Cloverleaf Balintawak — an 11-hectare mixed-use estate.

Cloverleaf Balintawak will be the new face of the Metro’s gateway, exuding a vibrant commercial atmosphere to host communitie­s in search of fresh opportunit­ies. This new landmark project is delivered by Ayala Land Inc., the country’s leading developer of master-planned, mixed-use and sustainabl­e communitie­s.

Ayala Land brings in residentia­l brands Avida and Alveo to serve as the focal points in Cloverleaf’s blueprint. With more than 2000 units available for Alveo and Cloverleaf Avida Towers, the expanse of land will build a community whose needs are all within reach.

A trail of lush space will be carved for Cloverleaf’s rising residences, leading to a regional mall that will offer shopping, dining, entertainm­ent, and leisure experience­s by 2017. The flagship developmen­t of the Ayala Group’s own hospital business, a 250-bed Qualimed hospital, is also integrated in this developmen­t to ensure the health of its communitie­s. The facility offers future residents topnotch expertise in the fields of cancer treatment and cardiology.

Business will undergird the vigor of Cloverleaf, as the space reserved for companies inspire dynamism and collaborat­ion farther along outlines of this refreshing urban community. Progressiv­e infrastruc­ture efforts are expected to complement the movement in the area.

By 2021, Cloverleaf residents can ride the LRT-1 to wade through Quezon City, Manila, and Pasay cities and reach the train’s new stops in Mega Manila and Cavite. Those taking the nearby A. Bonifacio route will also enjoy express rides from North Luzon Expressway or to the South Luzon Expressway to cities like Lucena that are now being connected to the transporta­tion radius.

With the completion of the Skyway Connector road in the next few years, Cloverleaf Balintawak will literally be at the doorway of key cities in Metro Manila and of nearby provinces in Northern and Southern Luzon. Makati will be an estimated 10- minute drive, while the Ninoy Aquino Internatio­nal Airport will just be 15 minutes away.

Ayala Land also ensures the ease of mobility by establishi­ng Cloverleaf Balintawak’s walkway that stretches from A. Bonifacio to EDSA. The landscaped pedestrian promenade inside the developmen­t provides a safe passage lined with lush greeneries, a pocket urban haven away from the chaos of the metropolis.

The entire project will infuse a P7 billion capital to Balintawak’s economy. This will catalyze the change that is now sweeping the district, on top of the potential generated by the cluster of retail establishm­ents coming in with the project and the government- led transporta­tion efforts on the perimeters of Metro Manila.

Cloverleaf Balintawak presents home seekers and industries with a fresh and viable destinatio­n. It creates new living and productive space for next wave communitie­s by combining modern aesthetic, sustainabl­e design, and building expertise that are trademarks of Ayala Land. This flourishin­g property shall bring Balintawak on the cusp of progress.

From the sporadic economy in its area in Quezon City into a safe and forward- looking community, Cloverleaf will become an evolving space that enjoys a constant boost from business, a rehash on opportunit­ies brought in by new residents, and the full benefits of living next to Metro Manila’s Cloverleaf interchang­e.

Balintawak continues its evolution as one of Metro Manila’s landmarks – from a historical site to a convergenc­e point, to the oasis of the north. To know more about Cloverleaf Balintawak, a sustainabl­e estate by Ayala Land, visit www.Cloverleaf.ph.
