MANILA, Philippines — A premier events venue is set to rise within Ayala Land Inc.’s 74-hectare Arca South in Taguig City next year as the development has now started construction.
In a statement, Ayala Land Estates Inc. (ALEI) and The Blue Leaf said they recently broke ground for The Blue Leaf at Arca South.
“With this partnership, Arca South and The Blue Leaf set a new standard for premier events spaces in the Metro,” ALEI said.
The Blue Leaf at Arca South offers a single, exclusive events hall accommodating up to 250 guests, ensuring privacy and personalized service.
Designed with a focus on food-centered experiences and advanced theatrical features, the venue promises memorable and multi-sensory gatherings.
ALEI said this venue is the most environmentally friendly in The Blue Leaf portfolio, featuring rainwater catchment systems, energy-efficient appliances, and solar power harvesting. It emphasized that these initiatives align with Ayala Land’s commitment to sustainable development.
“The integration of Blue Leaf into Arca South is a synergistic approach to strengthen the mix of developments within the estate. It is a key component in ensuring our promise of delivering a mixed-use estate that has diverse uses for a holistic and dynamic urban living experience,” Ayala Land senior vice president and senior project development head of estates group Mayi Rodriquez said.
ALEI said the venue reflects both companies’ commitment to sustainability, innovation and community-building, further enhancing the district’s dynamic lifestyle offerings.
It added that the integration of The Blue Leaf into Arca South strengthens the estate’s diverse mix of developments, reinforcing its position as a highly connected business and lifestyle community.
“Before Arca South was Food Terminal, a food consolidation center where farmers and buyers would meet to trade food and produce. We honor that history by designing The Blue Leaf at Arca South to become not just a destination for gatherings, but a destination for great food experiences as well,” The Blue Leaf managing director Eugene Sandejas said.
