Overview: Southern Luzon Gets a Boost from New Technopark Phases
The expansion of Cavite Technopark and Batangas Technopark marks a significant milestone for AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) as it deepens its footprint in Southern Luzon. The launch of new phases aims to create more opportunities for locators, bolster economic growth, and deliver future-ready, sustainable industrial estates that align with ALLHC’s mission to support business growth and community development.
Strategic Growth Through Phased Expansions
In Cavite, Phase 2B of the Cavite Technopark adds 20.2 hectares and 14 non-PEZA industrial lots, with land development targeted for completion by Q4 2026. Since its 2015 inception, Cavite Technopark has grown to 183.6 hectares, hosting light- and medium-industrial activities for local and international markets. The park already accommodates two ALogis warehouse complexes and a build-to-suit facility for a retailer, underscoring its role as a mixed-use industrial hub.
Phase 1 remains PEZA-registered, while Phases 2A, 2B, and 3 operate as non-PEZA zones. To streamline trade, on-site PEZA and Bureau of Customs offices provide vital support for import and export needs. The development emphasizes sustainability through native-tree planting and detention ponds that bolster resilience against environmental stress.
ALLHC leadership highlights robust demand for accessible, sustainable industrial spaces. Patrick C. Avila, ALLHC COO, notes that the new Cavite phase is designed to meet the needs of both local and international locators by offering an ideal location, strong connectivity, and comprehensive support services.
Connectivity and Infrastructure Driving Accessibility
Cavite Technopark’s location in Naic along Governor’s Drive positions it for future gains from major infrastructure projects including CALAX, CAVITEX extension, and the Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway (CTBEX). Prospective developments such as Sangley Airport and the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge are expected to further improve access to Metro Manila and nearby provinces, reinforcing the park’s appeal to businesses seeking efficient distribution and logistics.
Batangas Technopark: Expanding a Strategic Southern Luzon Corridor
In Padre Garcia, Batangas Technopark is expanding with Phase 2, adding 20.6 hectares and 38 BOI-registered industrial lots, bringing total park space to 75.6 hectares. Development aims for completion by Q3 2026. The park’s first phase spans 55 hectares and features a mixed-use layout with a bagsakan center, retail outlets, and a gas station, illustrating ALLHC’s approach to combining industrial space with essential services.
Sustainability remains a core pillar, with wide sidewalks to enhance pedestrian mobility, native tree planting, and detention ponds that strengthen resilience against geohazards. Avila emphasizes that Batangas Technopark’s accessibility to major ports and transport links makes it a prime choice for companies seeking to expand outside Metro Manila.
Strategic Location and Market Reach
The Batangas Technopark’s position along the Tiaong-Lipa Road and its proximity to gateways such as Batangas Port (33 km), Makati (88 km), and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) (86 km) highlight its strategic value for both regional and national supply chains. Ongoing improvements to regional and national infrastructure, including the Lipa-Padre Garcia Bypass Road and SLEX TR4, will further enhance access for tenants and logistics operators.
Leadership Perspective: A Commitment to Inclusive Growth
“These expansions represent ALLHC’s commitment to support economic progress across the region,” said Robert S. Lao, ALLHC president and CEO. By expanding Cavite and Batangas Technoparks, ALLHC aims to create more employment opportunities, facilitate business expansion, and contribute to local and national growth. The company’s integrated approach—combining high-quality infrastructure, regulatory support, and sustainability—positions it to meet evolving locator needs while fostering inclusive economic development.
Conclusion: A Thriving Southern Luzon Industrial Corridor
As Cavite and Batangas Technoparks grow, ALLHC demonstrates how strategic industrial estates can accelerate growth, improve connectivity, and support sustainable development in Southern Luzon. With new phases rolling out and infrastructure projects on the horizon, the two technoparks are set to attract diverse locators, sustain jobs, and strengthen regional supply chains well into the future.
