Greenfield Development Corporation (GDC) has officially launched the next phase of growth in Greenfield district with the groundbreaking of a new steel parking building with integrated retail spaces.
The project marks the start of phase 1 of GDC’s upcoming developments and signals a broader vision that goes beyond infrastructure.
Designed to support existing retail activity while preparing the district for future growth, the new facility reflects Greenfield’s long-term approach to urban development, one that prioritizes community, accessibility, and everyday wellness. The project is being designed and built by Ilo Corp.
The groundbreaking ceremony was led by GDC president lawyer Duane A.X. Santos, together with executives from GDC and Ilo Corp.
While the structure will provide five floors of parking, the development is positioned as more than a functional facility. Retail and commercial establishments will occupy the ground level, integrating the building into a walkable, green environment that supports daily movement and interaction.
Central to the project’s concept is the idea that the park is the development itself, with all other elements—parking, retail, and future offices—serving as supporting amenities. The steel parking building forms part of phase 1 of GDC’s next major development, which is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2026 and targeted for completion by year-end.
Phase 1 will cover a 33,478-square-meter block and feature a 295-meter linear walkway, four meters wide. The walkway is designed to encourage movement, connection, and everyday community life, acting as a key link between various spaces within the district.
Over the years, Greenfield District has steadily developed spaces that support both personal and social wellness, including wide pavements for running and walking, parks for yoga, basketball, volleyball, and padel courts, as well as open areas that naturally bring people together.
“We built the community; we built the health and sports facilities together with the parks and green open spaces as a venue to develop meaningful relationships, a sense of belonging and community engagement – the key attributes of social wellness,” said Atty. Santos.
“This steel parking area, together with this linear park, marks the first phase of our development. The park will be the spine of the whole District connecting health facilities and social spaces into one continuous story of wellness.”
Santos added that the project responds to how people already live and move within Greenfield today, supporting daily activity while laying a stronger foundation for future developments across the district.
