Harbor City, a well-developed and sustainable project for Pasayeños

Pasay City is well-known for being one of Metro Manila’s most-populated cities, as well as one of the SGLG awardees, with its own marketplaces, shopping malls, and places for leisure activities. The city is also popular for its modernized environment, which has become a busy city as well.

Pasay Harbor City Corporation (PHCC) and its partner proposed the 265-hectare Pasay Reclamation Project to improve the city’s quality of life.  

The project is being managed through a 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 (𝐏𝐏𝐏) with the Pasay City Government and has been granted authorization from the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) and the Office of the President.

It was headed by Chairman Carlos Gonzalez, President Manuel Gonzalez, and Counsels Roan Libarios and Santiago Gabionza Jr. 

“The project is part of the Pasay Eco City Grand Vision to build a sustainable, eco-friendly and world-class metropolis consistent with its mission to promote the quality of life of its people,” the group stated. 

The concept promotes sustainability; the development of Harbor City incorporates environmentally friendly business and tourism while improving the welfare of the city’s residents. Featuring both blue and green infrastructure.

The former focuses on the development of highways and wetlands to increase biodiversity, whereas the latter prioritizes on greenery in order to establish a balanced ecological system.

The Harbor City project is expected to be finished in 2028, making it an asset to Manila Bay.
