Arcovia City
Arcovia City (sometimes styled ArcoVia City) is a mixed-use development in Ugong, Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines. The 12.3-hectare (30-acre) riverside township is designated as a cyber park and located by the Marikina River east of Ortigas Center being developed by the Megaworld Corporation.
The centerpiece of the development is a triumphal arch surmounted by a bronze sculpture of a charioteer emperor accompanied by three horses called the Arco de Emperador. When completed, the township will have residential condominiums, a retail hub, LEED-registered office towers and over a thousand trees dotting the mixed-use community making it the greenest urban development by Megaworld to date.
Arcovia City is located along Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5 Road) in Barangay Ugong, some 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) down the same road from Eastwood City, Megaworld's flagship project. It is immediately east of the Valle Verde gated community on the west bank of the Marikina River at Ugong's border with Barangays Rosario and Caniogan. The development is in a former industrial area that has undergone rapid gentrification in recent years. It is flanked by car dealerships (Toyota, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Peugeot). It is connected to the Ortigas Center business district via Lanuza Avenue and Julia Vargas Avenue and is neighbored by other mixed-use communities such as Ortigas East and The Grove by Rockwell to the north. It is also linked to the old city center or poblacion of Pasig (Barangays San Nicolas, Malinao and San Jose) via the 685.04-metre (2,247.5 ft) Kaginhawaan Bridge built in October 2017. The development also has its own bike lane network around the township, as well as bike rental services, making it a popular spot for recreational cycling.
The land the development sits on is a former seasoning production plant owned by Ajinomoto Philippines (former Union Ajinomoto Inc.). The Ugong plant had been in operation since 1962 but was closed down in October 2007. The idle factory was then transferred by its owner Leonardo Ty to a real estate affiliate, the Union Ajinomoto Realty Corporation, which was then renamed Woodside Greentown Properties Inc. In August 2013, Megaworld Corporation acquired 100% ownership of the company including its former Ajinomoto plant in Pasig.
The development was announced in March 2014 as Megaworld's seventh township in Metro Manila and ninth in the country. It was initially named Woodside City and was earmarked a budget of ₱35 billion over ten years. Megaworld also announced the company's interest in future acquisitions of surrounding lots for possible expansion of the township. The development was renamed as Arcovia City in September 2015. In February 2019, the Arco de Emperador, an iconic archway representing the Filipinos' aspirations for success was unveiled to welcome visitors to the new township. The township won Best Mixed-Use Development in the 2019 Philippine Property Awards.
On September 7, 2022, Megaworld and the Bicol Isarog Transport System inaugurated a transportation hub inside of the Arcovia township. Through the transportation hub, Bicol Isarog plies daily night passenger routes and cargo services between Arcovia and the cities of Naga and Albay and the municipality of Nabua in the Bicol Region.
On April 1, 2024, President Bongbong Marcos issued Proclamation No. 512, designating 123,837 sq.m. parcels of land, along E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue in Ugong, Pasig, as a Special Economic Zone (Information Technology Park), as Arcovia City pursuant to Republic Act No. 7916, or the “Special Economic Zone Act of 1995,” as amended by RA No. 8748, and upon recommendation of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority.
Arcovia City will house the following developments in different stages of planning and construction:
