Pampanga soon to become home to world’s first livable food park

Revolution Precrafted, a builder and supplier of exclusive prefabricated properties worldwide, has entered into a formal agreement with Central Country Estate Inc. (CCEI) for the construction and delivery of precrafted homes and retail stores in a 70-hectare prime development in Lakeshore, Pampanga.

The project, named Revolution Flavorscapes at Lakeshore, is the world’s first livable food park which would feature pop-up stores offering cuisines from 200 countries. The development boasts of groundbreaking amenities including a Museum of Ice Cream, Museum of Candy, A Chocolate Gallery and a Microbrewery with surrounding beer garden. There will also be a floating restaurant, floating cinema and amphitheater situated at the banks of Lakeshore’s 12-hectare man-made lake.

“This is another landmark project that will put Revolution Precrafted at the forefront of global architecture and innovation. We will supply $115.4 million to build more than 7,100 carefully curated prefabricated homes that will soon rise on a lush space in The Lakeshore in Mexico, Pampanga, situated at a mere stone’s throw away from an existing manmade lake,” said Robbie Antonio, founder and CEO of Revolution Precrafted, the first and only unicorn startup in the Philippines.

In business usage, a unicorn is a startup firm that has been valued at over $1 billion. Other notable unicorn companies include Uber, Spotify, Airbnb and SpaceX. Revolution Precrafted has received international recognition for its prefabricated homes and pavilions, designed by some 71 of the world’s most influential and Pritzker-winning designers including French designer Jean Nouvel, celebrity singer Lenny Kravitz, Iraqi-British designer Zaha Hadid and home- grown designer Kenneth Cobonpue, among others.

Antonio revealed that Revolution Precrafted expects more than $345 million in revenues from the sale of the precrafted homes and popup retail stores, to be located in strategic areas around the development, in its first phase.

Revolution Flavorscapes is an homage to Pampanga, which maintains its reputation as the food capital of the Philippines, he said.

“We all love food and we believe that there should be a community meant for all our foodies. The world’s first livable food park concept is another fresh concept which continues our tradition of bringing industry-first and world-first projects,” he added.

For his part, CCEI managing director Brian John Mangio said the master planned community will give residents the chance to experience a lakeside lifestyle, complete with a wide array of industry leading amenities.

“We are building a famileisure hub, a community swimming pool, a drive-by cinema, museums, spas, and sports center that will promote an active lifestyle. We will develop the property to ensure that there will be ample open spaces, where the residents can run, hike, and engage leisure activities. We are very excited about the project and we will reveal the new amenities in the coming Revolution Precrafted founder and CEO Robbie Antonio (right) and CCEI managing director Brian Mangio formalize the contract for the construction and delivery of precrafted homes in the 70-hectare The Lakeshore in Pampanga. months,” Mangio said.
