TARLAC CITY – A new downtown for this capital city?

This plan has been laid out by Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) in a project called Cresendo that will spread over 290-hectares eyed for mixeduse estate n Barangay Central not far from the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) and the MacArthur Highway, and would be accessible via the Tarlac-Pangasinan- La Union Expressway (TPLEx).

ALI said the community is envisioned to become a center for investments, employment, education and balanced life for local folk.

The site would also be near the pending Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEx), not far from the Aquino Museum.

ALI, however, did not disclose the project cost.

The Cresendo project will cover a central plaza or a commercial district for buildings to rise on 500- to 2,000-square meter lots. The smaller lots are for “shophouses” designed for homegrown enterprises where owners can reside on upper floors.

From the central plaza, a pathway stretching over a kilometer will lead to a seven-hectare river terraces near residential areas. The terraces area, with a viewing deck, is designed to become a community convergence point.

Roads are to have bicycle lanes and be lined with trees. Sidewalks will be as wide as three meters with walkway arcades, punctuated with “pocket parks” and promenades.

ALI said the Don Bosco Technical Institute will open a senior high school in Cresendo as well as a technical vocational education and training center to accommodate some 5,000 youths.

ALI sad Phase 1 of the project consists of the construction of a church and the school, the development of its first residential community, a transport terminal and an industrial park.

Once completed, the 32-hectare Cresendo Industrial Park (CIP) will provide employment opportunities in the area. CIP will have various lot sizes ranging from 1,200 sq m to 10,000 sq m for sale at P6,000 to P9,000 per sq m. This will be open to locators in light to medium, nonpolluting industries by 2022. In full swing, the industrial park is expected to generate approximately 2,000 jobs.

For greater mobility and accessibility, Cresendo will have a privately managed transport system, ensuring high accessibility and traffic efficiency throughout the estate.
