The Czark Mak (CZM) group of companies is investing P2 billion for the development of a commercial and industrial township in Guiguinto town, bolstering Bulacan province’s potential as the next growth area and top business and lifestyle destination.
Covering an area of over 20 hectares, CZM’s AcroCity is Bulacan’s newest township, a vibrant lifestyle hub that caters to the growing needs not only of the surrounding communities, but even residents of nearby areas including Metro Manila who would want a different staycation experience.
“With AcroCity, we are not merely constructing properties; we are building dreams and forging connections that have the power to transform lives. Our vision is to create a vibrant community at the heart of Bulacan, where businesses thrive, residents flourish, and dreams are realized,” said CZM Executive Vice President Caesar Angelo Wongchuking, Jr. during the project launch Tuesday, July 25.
Alongside the launch of the AcroCity was the groundbreaking of NDW Plaza, which will serve as AcroCity’s community and town center focusing on wellness. It will host, among others, a world-class dialysis center, a diagnostic center, spa, gym, and beauty and other wellness facilities.
NDW Plaza will also serve as home to a bank, and other dedicated retail spaces to complement existing leisure and commercial offerings.
“NDW Plaza represents our unwavering commitment to continually enrich the AcroCity experience of our customers. At the heart of our live, work, play concept, our goal is to provide a seamless integration where visitors and our customers embrace a well-rounded lifestyle and thrive,” Wongchuking added.
Acrocity’s centerpiece property Acro Residences, is one of the largest business hotels in Bulacan, offering more than 100 well-appointed rooms. With its modern design and accessibility, the hotel aims to accommodate both local and international guests, catering to the growing demand for accommodation in the area.
“We understand the importance of providing an exceptional living experience for Acro Residences guests. Adding more services and amenities, such as a pool, will be in our priority development pipeline. We recognize a need that has not been fully tapped, and AcroCity aims to be the solution for both businesses and consumers,” CZM Group General Manager Romy Pagulayan, for his part, said.
He also revealed that in addition to the planned amenities such as the pool for Acro Residences, they are planning to build a dedicated events place offering a venue for outdoor events such as weddings and a park for individuals seeking solace with nature.
The events place, to be named Acro Gardens, will cater to the growing meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions industry in Bulacan.
There are also plans to embark on a residential-commercial condominium project within AcroCity.
As part of its commitment to provide diverse culinary experiences, AcroCity partnered with Transcendental Relection Restaurant Group, sister company of CZM, to provide three distinct restaurants.
To address the rising demand for warehouse space in North GMA and Central Luzon, T12 Polo Industrial Estates within AcroCity, has built 66 warehouses and storage facilities that are available for sale or lease. Its strategic location provides easy access to major transportation networks, including highways and ports, facilitating efficient logistics and distribution processes for businesses operating in the area.
Pagulayan explained that the integration of their properties – hotel, restaurants, industrial park, events place, and the town center – not only enhances the lifestyle and convenience of the surrounding communities but also strengthens the township’s position as the new lifestyle hub in Bulacan. “These developments represent AcroCity’s dedication to becoming a well-rounded township development,” he stressed.
The CZM Group has multiple business units in different industries such as real estate, industrial leasing, agribusiness, cold storage, and food and hospitality. This diverse portfolio ensures that the group will continue to evolve and cater to the growing needs of Filipinos in Bulacan and the rest of the Philippines.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry has identified Bulacan province as the next growth area not only due to its adequate labor force and proximity to the National Capital Region, but also because of the big-ticket infrastructure projects being undertaken by the private sector and the government.
One of the flagship infrastructure projects under the Build-Build-Build program for instance is the North-South Commuter Rail project that will link Tutuban in Manila to Malolos, Bulacan to Clark. The 38-kilometer railway will pass through Meycauayan, Marilao, Bocaue, Balagtas, Guiguinto, and Malolos in Bulacan.
Bulacan also takes pride to being host to the New Manila International Airport as well as to Metro Rail Transit Line 7, a 23-km elevated railway line that begins at San Jose del Monte, Bulacan up to North Avenue in Quezon City. Both projects are being undertaken by the San Miguel Corp. group.
