The Veranda - LOCATION

 The Veranda is located at Lot. 10, Brgy. Western Bicutan, Taguig City.

The Veranda is part of the vibrant and exciting new Arca South development in West Bicutan barangay, Taguig City, southern Metro Manila. Arca South is a 74-hectare mixed-use development that is poised to transform the former Food Terminal Incorporated, the previous 70s-era government warehousing and food processing facility, into a new lifestyle hub consisting of retail and residential developments, corporate offices, the 265-room hotel and a private hospital.

Taguig City is easily accessible from other parts of Metro Manila, with its efficient and well-organized road and transportation systems. Arca South is located a mere 5 kilometres away from the Metro Manila financial district of Bonifacio Global City (BGC), and only 7 kilometres from the Makati CBD. Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) is conveniently located only 4.7 kilometres away.

Arca South will boast its own transportation hub - a new, five-hectare multimodal terminal called the South Integrated Transport System (ITS) will be built by Arca South Integrated Terminal Inc, another subsidiary of Ayala Land. The six-storey terminal will be equipped to handle about 160,000 passengers daily with state-of-the-art centralized ticketing facilities, information displays, passenger waiting areas, retail outlets and a car park.

Residents of The Veranda can therefore opt to ‘park and ride’, parking their cars within the ITS carpark and travel into the city using public transport. This environmentally-friendly option is already being practised in many other major cities in the world, and it has been proven to be effective in easing traffic congestion and lowering city pollution rates. This system will make it easy to get to work and elsewhere from The Veranda.

Arca South will also have its own estate management system to oversee traffic, transportation, security. Most excitingly, the development will include numerous green spaces, bicycle lanes pedestrian walkways to maximize convenience and enhance residents’ quality of life.

Mr Stephen Comia, project development manager at Ayala Land, says: “Arca South will be a conducive environment for people to live, work, or visit, with all its conveniences and strategic access and links. The estate management systems will help ensure a lifestyle of efficiencies similar to other premier lifestyle and business destinations.”

The Veranda is located in Block 10 of Arca South, and is poised to become one of Manila’s most exclusive residential addresses, thanks to its prime location, outstanding features and amenities, and easy access to nearby schools, hospitals, entertainment and leisure facilities.
