MOST lots at Ayala Land Inc.’s 32-hectare industrial park in Tarlac City are already leased to manufacturing, logistics and distribution companies, with the development expected to generate up to 2,000 jobs as more businesses establish operations.
The industrial park forms part of Ayala Land’s 290-hectare Cresendo estate, which is being developed as a mixed-use community combining industrial, commercial, institutional and residential components.
The industrial area is designed to accommodate light-to-medium, non-polluting industries, supporting the estate’s role as businesses expand along Tarlac City’s growth corridor.
“Cresendo is set to grow with the community around it. As businesses establish themselves, schools develop, and more families and residents become part of the estate, the different parts of everyday life can come together and support one another,” said Rica Balbido, senior project development head of Cresendo.
The estate is expected to accommodate about 54,000 residents, 5,000 students, and 2,000 workers at full build-out, according to Ayala Land.
Cresendo’s industrial activity is supported by its access to major transport routes, including the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway, North Luzon Expressway, Central Luzon Link Expressway, MacArthur Highway, and Luisita Access Road.
The Luisita Access Road has been expanded from two lanes to six lanes, while the SCTEX Luisita Exit North Interchange is targeted for completion by the fourth quarter of 2027.
Education is also being integrated into the estate, with Don Bosco Senior High School preparing to introduce a Technical Vocational Education and Training program covering automotive, machine, electrical and electronics skills.
Ayala Land said the program is intended to develop skills relevant to businesses operating within the Cresendo Industrial Park.
The estate’s 47-hectare downtown is also expanding, with retail, dining, services, workplaces and other community establishments serving residents and nearby communities.
Ayala Land said the estate is connected to other emerging economic centers in Central Luzon, including New Clark City and the TARI Estate.
The company is positioning Cresendo as an integrated estate where industrial activity, commercial development, education and residential communities can support one another as the property moves toward full build-out.
