NEXT to Edsa, Circumferential Road 5 (C5 Road) in Pasig is the second most vital transportation corridor in Metro Manila. Spanning some 32.5 kilometers, it connects the city with its neighboring localities of Las Piñas, Makati, Parañaque, Pasay, Quezon City (QC), Taguig, and Valenzuela.
Built in 1986, the C5 Road, or legally known as President Carlos P. Garcia Avenue, has long served the commuting public going north or south of the metropolis. Running parallel to the four other beltways, this network of roads and bridges has been continuously supporting the growing vehicular population of its surrounding areas. Hence, it remains a work in progress until today with the ongoing extension initiatives on both ends.
From access road to destination
AKIN to other major thoroughfares in the metro, the C5 corridor has gone far beyond just an access road. It, eventually, has become a destination teeming with various developments. The stretch by itself now hosts several multinationals, business process outsourcing companies, and automotive industry outlets. It has also never failed to be on the radar of big-ticket real estate developers. In fact, many of its previously unused locations are currently being converted into mixed-use developments—most notable of which is the biggest estate in the area called Parklinks, a joint-venture development between two of the country’s major developers, Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) and Eton Properties Philippines Inc.
C5 rises as strategic address for balanced modern lifestyle
PARKLINKS is a 35-hectare property along the C5 corridor, envisioned to be a burgeoning estate development that brings all the comforts of urban living close to nature. Boasting of utmost connectivity and convenience, this integrated, mixed-use project will soon connect Pasig with QC via the iconic 110-meter Parklinks Bridge over the Marikina River. Such a connection will help ease the flow of vehicular traffic in both bustling cities.
This one-of-a-kind, emerging address is complete with all the amenities and facilities of a perfect vibrant destination. Complementing this are the attributes of a balanced and serene community fit for the ideal “work, play, and live” lifestyle. Being highly accessible via C5, Amang Rodriguez Avenue, and Ortigas Avenue, it is strategically located as a meeting point for business hubs like Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas, Makati, and QC. Parklinks is also just a drive away from reputable hospitals, top universities, and commercial establishments, bringing it closer to life’s essentials.
Combining business with leisure, the sprawling estate will also be anchored by a lifestyle mall located at the C5 frontage. The Parklinks Mall is designed as a family-oriented establishment that will offer a vast array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. On top of it is a 3,500-square meter sports complex that will become a home to a basketball court, volleyball and badminton courts, as well as a fitness gym and a dance studio. Contemporary office spaces will, likewise, be available for potential business locators.
Linking modern urban living with nature’s comfort
PARKLINKS will be a definite “breath of fresh air“ along the C5 corridor. Being the “greenest” and “healthiest” township initiative from the two developers, half of this sustainable masterplanned estate is dedicated to open space. And with the incorporation of the most extensive park system (which includes the eco park, eco esplanade, eco terraces, eco forest and eco center), an engaging living experience is just within reach from any point of this verdant community.
The well-designed and managed walkway system makes the Parklinks truly a “walkable” estate—approximately just a five-minute stroll from business hubs, mall, office and living spaces. Apart from this, jogging paths and bike lanes throughout the development provide not just better options for travel, but also active and healthy lifestyle choices.
Parklinks is far more than just a sprawling township project along the C5 Road. It’s likely a potential game-changer that can redefine sustainable living in the country—thanks to premium residential brands of both developers now dotting the estate.
Among the vertical developments rising here, Alveo Land’s The Lattice is a signature, towering community right across the three-hectare central park. This offers an inimitable investment opportunity for future residents with its unmatched convenient and holistic lifestyles via quality building standards and amenities interweaved with the natural environments just outside its dwelling spaces.
True to its name, The Lattice exudes intertwining or interlacing architecture design. This is aligned with the project’s premise of seamlessly incorporating unmatched indoor and outdoor experiences: From a welcoming lobby that leads straight to the central park up to the amenity deck that features alfresco areas to lounge around and expansive open spaces that are accommodating for a flexible variety of activities or simply enticing to marvel at a viewing platform.
The C5 route may not be complete yet to date, however, it has come a long way. Truly, it has transformed not just as a major transportation corridor, but also as a vital cog in progress and development with its excellent transit accessibility, adjacency to existing job centers, and diverse urban amenities and largescale communities like the Parklinks that integrates modern city life with natural environments.
