Aboitiz Economic Estates is preparing to operationalize the first 200 hectares of TARI Estate by the second quarter of 2026, marking a major expansion of industrial capacity in Central Luzon as manufacturers increasingly look beyond traditional southern corridors.

The 384-hectare industrial estate in Tarlac is being positioned as a new manufacturing and logistics hub designed to support long-term industrial growth, with early locators including Ajinomoto Philippines Corp. and Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines already expected to establish operations within the site.

The project comes as industrial demand continues to spread northward from mature South Luzon ecosystems, where land constraints and rising demand are prompting manufacturers to consider alternative growth corridors. 

TARI Estate is expected to help address this by offering scalable industrial space supported by integrated infrastructure and estate management systems.

Why it matters

The development strengthens Central Luzon’s position in the country’s manufacturing expansion strategy, particularly as companies seek locations with access to major transport infrastructure, logistics connectivity, and long-term operational support.

Within the estate, key infrastructure projects are already underway. Aboitiz Economic Estates said the Phase 1 perimeter fence covering 90 hectares is scheduled for completion by Q2 2026, while the South Access Road is also expected to commence operations during the same period.

The South Access Road is expected to improve logistics movement, construction access, and operational mobility throughout the estate. Meanwhile, the Peza-BOC Complex is targeted to begin operations by Q3 2026 to facilitate permit processing and government clearances for locators.

The bigger picture

TARI Estate follows the integrated township model implemented at LIMA Estate in Batangas, combining industrial operations with utilities, infrastructure, and workforce support systems within a single development platform.

“Manufacturing investment follows environments where infrastructure, utilities, and logistics can support operations consistently over the long term,” Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and CEO of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land, said in a press statement. 

“TARI Estate reflects our continued development of fully-integrated developments designed to support manufacturing activity, operational continuity, and long-term expansion in the Philippines,” he added.

At full build-out, the estate is projected to generate more than 60,000 jobs and include commercial, residential, office, hospitality, and institutional components alongside industrial facilities. —Vanessa Hidalgo | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
