Ayala Land Estates, Inc. (ALEI) and The Blue Leaf have officially broken ground on The Blue Leaf at Arca South, a premier events venue set to open in 2026. Situated within the 74-hectare Arca South estate in Taguig City, this development reinforces Ayala Land’s commitment to creating a dynamic, mixed-use community that integrates business, leisure, and residential spaces.

The addition of The Blue Leaf enhances Arca South’s position as a key urban hub, complementing the estate’s growing portfolio of commercial, residential, and lifestyle developments. Designed with sustainability and urban efficiency in mind, Arca South is poised to become one of Metro Manila’s most connected and forward-thinking districts.

The Blue Leaf managing director Eugene Sandejas highlighted the significance of this new venue. “Before Arca South, this area was the Food Terminal, a major trading center where farmers and buyers exchanged goods. We honor that history by making The Blue Leaf at Arca South not just a premier venue for gatherings, but also a destination for exceptional food experiences.”

Ayala Land SVP and senior project development head of Estates Group Mayi Rodriguez emphasized the strategic value of the partnership, “The integration of The Blue Leaf into Arca South strengthens the estate’s mix of developments. This aligns with our vision of delivering a well-balanced, mixed-use community that offers diverse urban experiences.”

Sustainability and innovation in events spaces

The Blue Leaf at Arca South will feature a single, exclusive events hall with a capacity of up to 250 guests, ensuring privacy and personalized service. Designed to prioritize food-centered experiences and cutting-edge theatrical features, the venue aims to set a new benchmark for upscale events in the metro.

As the most environmentally friendly venue in The Blue Leaf portfolio, it will incorporate sustainable design elements, including rainwater catchment systems, energy-efficient appliances, and solar power harvesting. These initiatives align with Ayala Land’s broader commitment to sustainable and responsible development.

Strategic location and future growth

Arca South’s prime location in Taguig City offers excellent connectivity, with planned access to the Skyway and C5, further boosting its appeal as a premier business and lifestyle destination. As the estate continues to develop, the addition of The Blue Leaf will play a vital role in fostering economic growth and community engagement within the district.

With this partnership, Arca South solidifies its reputation as a premier real estate destination, seamlessly integrating high-end event spaces into its master-planned urban landscape. The Blue Leaf’s presence underscores the estate’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and enhancing the overall lifestyle experience for residents and visitors alike.
