Ayala Land and Araneta Group joint venture to develop 600-has expansion of Altaraza in Bulacan

Altaraza Development Corporation (ADC), a joint venture between Ayala Land Inc (ALI) and the Araneta Group, will initially invest Php 20 billion to develop and infuse 600 hectares of prime land to form part of the existing Altaraza estate in San Jose del Monte Bulacan.

This expansion will provide a complete and diverse range of offerings with additional residential products to cater to new market segments, as well as more commercial developments and leisure components.

Margarita Dy, ALI and ADC CFO Augusto Bengzon, ALI President and ADC Chairman Bernard Vincent Dy, ALI SVP and ADC President Robert Lao, ARC Chairman and ADC board member Gregorio Ma.

The overall vision for the expanded Altaraza development is to become the newest growth center in the Metro North that champions integration of diverse land uses with the thrust to preserve and enhance Bulacan’s rich ecological ecosystem for an enriched and progressive lifestyle.

Altaraza, a fully integrated 40-hectare mixed-use estate launched by ALI in 2014, currently hosts two residential communities from Avida and Amaia, a prime commercial district, Waltermart Altaraza, QualiMed hospital, and schools including the STI Academic Center and Colegio de San Agustin (CSA) San Jose Del Monte. 

With the ongoing buildup of locators in the estate, as well as proximity to Metro Manila and the various government infrastructure projects heading towards the North with MRT-7 and the New Manila International Airport, the development is expected to attract more investments to Central Luzon.

Because of Altaraza’s strategic location and growing community in a span of eight years, prices of residential units have appreciated, recording a 7 to 10 percent compounded annual growth rate, while the value of commercial lots have grown by 200 percent.
