Championing synchronicity, Arca South teems with life. It is one thing you’d never imagine would happen if you happened to see the place even before planning started.

Facts about Arca South
- Arca South is situated in a 74-hectare Taguig development.
- Before the property was sold to Ayala Land Inc., it was part of the Food Terminal Inc. (FTI).
- In 2012, ALI purchased the property for Php24.3 billion and renamed it Arca South a year after.
Living in Arca South
The visionary estate attunes with contemporary lifestyles that urban dwellers covet. Arca South epitomizes a myriad of opportunities for enhanced quality of life.
The name Arca South comes from the word “arc” and its placemaker, the south. An arc refers to the curve or circle’s circumference, encompassing dimensions of the role of Arca South as a portal to progress. Phonetically, it means a gathering of life’s bounty.
Arca South is dubbed as the city in sync, and it is easy to see why. Synchronicity is a concept that means “meaningful coincidences.” The extent of integration alone solidifies this claim.
- An emergent commercial district
When Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) won the bid for the former FTI property in Western Bicutan in 2012, it knew precisely that developing the 74-hectare was the most sound decision. Arca South was indeed envisioned as a new commercial district that combines the best features of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Nuvali.
Arca South was also master-planned to integrate ALI’s integrated mixed-use development best practices. Adapted from BGC’s Bonifacio High Street, a retail strip called Arca Main Street was also planned. There is a healthy mix of merchants from sports to health and wellness on both sides of the street.
Ayala Malls Arca South is set to open by 2022. It will soon offer residents and workers a well-curated selection of local and international dining and retail options. The upper floors will have workspaces that will definitely contribute to raking up local employment opportunities.
Other than these, the estate management eyes sustained economic growth. Premium office buildings are constructed one by one. Not just convenient working settings, some office buildings here in Arca South are LEED-certified. For example, Tryne Enterprise Plaza is built with double glazed windows, occupancy sensors, rainwater harvesting systems, and bicycle parking systems.
- A low-density urban development
What makes Arca South unique is the way residential buildings are structured. There are no skyscrapers whatsoever, and the highest buildings—commercial and residential—are up to 15 stories high only.
It was actually a limitation set forth by the Civil Aviation Authority, being near NAIA, that ALI turned into an opportunity. There are height restrictions to infrastructures near the airport. As a selling point, Arca South is perceived as a low-density community.
As planned, there should be a 50-50 split between residential and commercial developments within Arca South. For the commercial, Ayala Land Premier, Avida Land, and Alveo Land have a presence in the estate. This allows choosing from a variety of residential options with differing price points.
The residences offer the conveniences of city living. Premium condominiums in Taguig, like Park Cascades, are built with indoor amenities like a gym, board room, and function hall as well as outdoor amenities, including a pool, playground, and open pavilion. All condominium buildings seamlessly connect with retail areas and public spaces too. These are future-proof homes fitting to the most discerning urban dwellers.
Investing in real estate properties here is definitely worth your while. The land value of residential developments realized huge appreciation rates at 90%.
- A greener community
Arca South is more laidback with lots of open and sprawling spaces where the people can socialize and enjoy. A linear park and pocket parks were constructed for a quick respite, especially after a tiring day at work. There are also fitness and family parks that provide the much-needed breathing space for families, workers, and locators.
Additionally, Arca South features an urban promenade and central events area. The refreshing streetscapes are incomparable with the other areas in the metro unless they are also an ALI-developed estate.
In line with its sustainability philosophy, the master-plan was adjusted to accommodate the presence of old acacia trees. Altering the plan was the only option then by complementing the planned green spaces with what’s already there.
This allows the urban plan to nurture connections between the physical infrastructure and the surrounding greenery. About 60% of the estate is interspersed with green spaces, including streetscapes and public spaces.
- A gateway to the south
Arca South is planned to have several planned access points other than the ones that are already existing then. There are strong linkages to BGC and Makati as well as Parañaque and even Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
Since connectivity is paramount to the concept, ALI also built the Taguig City Intermodal Exchange (ITX). The 5.5-hectare, 4,000-buses capacity ITX is adjacent to Arca South. It is dubbed as “the airport of buses.”
Driven by technological innovations, yet another unique feature of Arca South is the “underground highway. It pertains to the road network beneath the ground level covering about 40% of the estate, connecting the commercial areas within the estate. Going from the shopping mall to your office is easier—minus the traffic. Strategically, it means doubling the capacity of main roads while also increasing pedestrianization.
Speaking of traffic, the highly networked and multi-linked estate is integrated in terms of transportation, security, and traffic. In managing the estate more efficiently, there are CCTV cameras in various strategic points within.
Another integral component of the road system is the dedicated bike lanes. As such, Arca South is not only walkable but also bikeable.
Arca South rises to change the modern urban landscape, breathing life anew to a sprawling land into a world-class business and lifestyle district. A dynamic community, the estate provides opportunities for locators, investors, and even residents. The next best thing is to be a part of the city in sync, Arca South. It is indeed a gateway—a gateway to life’s abundance.
