Paranaque City, Philippines, September 30, 2023 – D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Inc. (DMWAI) is set to open its flagship project in Aseana City – the over 70,000sqm GLA Parqal, opens on September 30, 2023. The opening of Parqal will bring DMWAI’s total building leasing space to 232,499sqms, 43% higher than its 162,351sqms leasing space in December 2022.
‘Parqal’, a wordplay from ‘park’ and ‘kalye’, aptly embodies Aseana City’s tenets of livability, walkability, and sustainability. 60% of its total area is dedicated to lush green landscapes and recreational facilities. At the center of Parqal lies a climate-protected linear park brimming with greenery. Parqal-goers will find respite from Metro Manila’s ever-changing weather as they explore a vibrant urban oasis while sheltered under a sweeping canopy.
Nestled in the heart of Aseana City, Parqal sits on five hectares of land stretching from Diokno Avenue to Macapagal Boulevard. Parqal blurs the line between public and private space by integrating public amenities into the commercial development.
Parqal is a collection of nine independent four-storey buildings. Its architectural expression has a modernized approach to the “Bahay-na-Bato” – the Philippines’ vernacular architecture derived from Hispanic and Chinese influences. The lower floors are designed to host retail and F&B shops whereas the upper floors will be home to offices.
Parqal is poised to be among the top tourist hubs in the metro, boasting its impressive architectural design, first-rate retail and commercial outlets, and expansive green spaces. Parqal caters to the diverse needs of motorists, commuters, and eco-conscious travelers alike. It offers ample parking capacity of over 1,200 slots, complemented by secure bicycle racks and modern shower facilities. Parqal also has a dedicated station in the Aseana City Loop which facilitates convenient public transport to and from dense commuter hubs Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and Mall of Asia (MOA) through Aseana City. In the future, Parqal will be connected to an elevated walkway network which will connect major thoroughfares and establishments in the estate, including the upcoming Aseana City-Redemptorist LRT Station.
Testament to DMWAI’s commitment to sustainability, Parqal was designed and constructed to meet the rigorous certification requirements of the Philippine Green Building Council’s Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) which has stringent criteria on energy consumption, GHG emissions, water consumption, and waste generation, among others.
“Parqal is the centerpiece of Aseana; it is a confluence of nature, work, and leisure. Parqal truly highlights our adherence to tenets of livability, walkability, and sustainability,” said Mr. Delfin Angelo ‘Buds’ Wenceslao, Chief Executive Officer. “Parqal was thoughtfully designed to host vast green and open spaces, generous recreational facilities, and first-rate commercial outlets which allow office workers, Aseana residents, and everyday tourists a place to commune, reconnect, and unwind,” Mr. Wenceslao highlighted.
“We invite you to experience Parqal for yourself and discover an urban oasis in the heart of Aseana City! It will be our joy to welcome each and every one of you here,” said Mr. Wenceslao.
