As Metro Manila continues to grow and shift, the spotlight turns to Arca South, Ayala Land’s 74-hectare master-planned estate in Taguig City that’s emerging as the capital’s next major residential and lifestyle hub.
Strategically located near major thoroughfares such as SLEX, C5, and the Skyway, and just minutes away from Makati and Bonifacio Global City, Arca South offers the accessibility of city life with a more grounded, green, and thoughtfully designed environment.
Built around the idea of “urban synchronicity,” Arca South blends residential communities, corporate offices, open spaces, and retail destinations into a walkable, future-ready estate. Unlike the high-octane energy of BGC, it offers a calmer, more livable alternative without compromising on connectivity or convenience.
Early movers, long-term value
With the estate still in its growth phase, homeowners and investors have the unique opportunity to enter early and enjoy the long-term benefits of property appreciation and rising rental demand. Projects like Arbor Lanes and Gardencourt Residences offer low-density living with generous green spaces, while Park Cascades and The Veranda combine modern comfort with neighborhood charm. For young professionals and families, Avida Towers One Union Place and Vireo have provided attractive options, many of which have already sold out, affirming the estate’s growing appeal.
A lifestyle ecosystem in the making
Arca South is not only positioned as a residential address; it’s shaping up to be a full-fledged business and lifestyle ecosystem. The first phase of Ayala Malls Arca South is slated to open in December 2025, adding a vibrant mix of retail and dining options. The estate is also already home to key anchors such as Landers, Caltex, Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, Arca South Pitch (home of Barca Academy Manila), and the soon-to-open Blue Leaf Event Spaces.
Ongoing infrastructure projects, including the Metro Manila Subway, North-South Commuter Railway, FTI/Arca South Station, Taguig City Integrated Terminal Exchange (TCITx), and the Skyway Stage 4 (Southeast Metro Manila Expressway), are poised to further strengthen accessibility and boost estate value.
Looking ahead
“The best time to buy in BGC was 15 years ago,” the adage goes. “The second-best time is now in Arca South.” As the estate matures, it promises to deliver not only a livable community but also a strong investment case. Whether as a primary residence, an income-generating property, or a long-term asset, Arca South represents the direction Metro Manila is headed—greener, smarter, and more intentional.
For those seeking not just a home, but a lifestyle upgrade, this may be the right place and the right time.
