Triangle Park


Triangle Park, also known as the Quezon City Central Business District, is a 250-hectare mixed-use central business district (CBD) development intended to serve as the gravity of all commercial activities in Metro Manila in the coming years. It is located in Barangay Bagong Pag-Asa, Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines and organized around five districts, each with mixed-use character but with distinct identity. It is one of the three currently existing main business districts of the city - alongside Eastwood City in Libis and Araneta Center in Cubao. It is one of two business districts currently being developed or redeveloped, the other being Neopolitan Business Park in Novaliches.

This business district spans from the East and North Triangles to the Quezon Memorial Circle also encompassing the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) property along North Avenue. The World Bank dubbed the project as “the center of gravity of commercial developments in Metro Manila in the coming years.” The site offers the most ideal locations in terms of metropolitan access. It will be linked to at least three MRT-3 stations and has one of the most expansive EDSA frontages, compared to other central business districts. World Bank contracted the Japanese firm, Almec, to complete the framework plan. Two companies have been given permission to develop the remaining empty lots, Ayala Land for the North Triangle and Eton Properties Philippines of the Lucio Tan Group for the East Triangle.

The project began as early as May 2002 with the issuance of Executive Order No. 106 by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo creating the tripartite body called the North Triangle Development Committee that will oversee the development of the Quezon City Central Business District after a visit in the area on February 19, 2012. The Committee is tasked specifically to study and resolve the problem of security of tenure of the residents in North Triangle – a 37-hectare property of the National Housing Authority (NHA) that is leased to the Robinsons Land Corporation.
