The state-owned National Development Company (NDC) said it has completed the sale of its 1.3-hectare (ha) real estate property in Manila to the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), paving the way for it to be used as part of the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 Project.

The investment arm of the Department of Trade and Industry said it signed an agreement with the TRB last June 11 at the Philippine Innovation Hub in Makati City involving the property in Pandacan.

The Skyway plan split the property into three irregular fragments, necessitating the need for two deeds of sale.

One deed of sale is for the area affected by the main alignment of the Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 Project, while the other one is for the area affected by the interconnection structure, according to the NDC. INQ
