Motorists in New Clark City (NCC) can look forward to a convenient and eco-friendly pitstop with the construction of the P200-million “superstation”, the city’s first modern multi-use terminal.

The project, a collaboration between state-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Double 11 Properties Corp., promises to be a one-stop shop for charging electric vehicles (EVs), shopping, dining and working.

“This partnership signals another milestone in the development of New Clark City as a smart and green metropolis, one that is ready for a future filled with electric vehicles and eco-friendly cars. This is also a step towards our ‘15-minute city’ vision for New Clark City, where basic amenities and facilities are easily accessible within walking or cycling distance,” said BCDA president and CEO Joshua Bingcang.

BCDA signed a long-term lease agreement with Double 11 on June 24, 2024 for a one-hectare plot designated for the superstation.

BCDA vice president Mark Torres said the agency expects additional government revenue, job creation for local residents and a boost in foot traffic within New Clark City.

Double 11 said it is committed to constructing EV charging terminals, a mixed-use commercial complex and retail support businesses for the first phase and another P100 million for expansion phase.

The superstation is expected to be a major draw, attracting an estimated 200,000 motorists annually. It will house over 20 retail stores and offices, creating around 500 jobs for residents of Tarlac and nearby communities.

The project is also projected to generate P100 million in government revenue.

“With BCDA, we are bringing our international brand partners here to provide an excellent service to motorists. Using our experience and expertise, we will not only be developing a superstation, but also a lifestyle development where people can park, dine, shop, and work,” said Double 11’s business development manager Ren Siccion.

Double 11, a Filipino-owned corporation, has a proven track record of developing zoos, theme parks, industrial parks and superstations. They team up with various businesses, including international food franchises, branded retail outlets and business process outsourcing companies.
