Ground broken on New Clark affordable-housing project

BCDA.GOV.PH

THE Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said construction started on an affordable housing project in New Clark City on Thursday.

This housing project is part of the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino program, BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang said.

It is a partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and a consortium of Sta. Clara International Corp. and South Korea’s Saekyung Unitless Co.

The project, which will begin vertical construction this year, will initially deliver 840 housing units within two years.

“These units form part of a larger, masterplanned 5.84-hectare community that will eventually offer more than 3,400 residential units, including mid-rise buildings for affordable housing,” it added.

According to BCDA, the project will prioritize local hires from Capas and surrounding towns during construction and operations.

Human Settlements Undersecretary for Freeport Economic Zones Emmanuel D. Pineda said that the project “is a real and tangible step forward in our collective pursuit of Bagong Pilipinas, where housing is a right, not a privilege.”

The housing project is also expected to integrate green parks, community spaces, sports and recreation facilities, retail zones, and access to nearby national institutions and employers.

“The community will also serve as a potential housing site for uniformed personnel, allowing them to live closer to their place of duty,” BCDA said.

The project is also set to benefit from the New Clark City–MacArthur Highway Connector Road and Connecting Road Package 2, which link the city to the Virology and Vaccine Institute of the Philippines, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas complex, and the National Academy of Sports.

New Clark City is expecting to host locators with P274.52 billion in pledged investments and 150,000 jobs. — Justine Irish D. Tabile
