MAKRO RETURNS TO CAVITE

Wholesale giant Makro is set to return to Cavite with a planned store in Evo City, nearly two decades after its Philippine operations were absorbed into the SM retail network. Makro entered the Philippines in 1996, and its former Imus branch along Aguinaldo Highway was among the stores converted into SM Hypermarkets in 2009 following SM Group’s acquisition.

The brand is now being revived through a joint venture between Ayala Corporation and Thai-listed CP Axtra, operator of the Makro and Lotus’s wholesale and retail brands. In 2025, the two companies agreed to relaunch Makro in the Philippines, bringing back its warehouse-style wholesale concept through physical stores and online channels serving both households and businesses.

As part of the revival, Ayala Land Inc. has signed long-term lease agreements with Makro Philippines for stores in four Ayala mixed-use estates in Luzon: Cloverleaf in Quezon City, Broadfield in Biñan, Laguna, Arca South in Taguig, and Evo City in Kawit, Cavite. The planned Evo City store will mark Makro’s return to Cavite nearly two decades after its former branch was converted, bringing the familiar wholesale format back to the province as part of Evo City’s expanding commercial landscape.

DOWNTOWN LANCASTER

Downtown Lancaster is a 25-hectare mixed-use lifestyle and commercial development in Imus, serving as the primary commercial and lifestyle business district of Lancaster New City, which spans portions of Kawit, Imus, General Trias, and Tanza.

Over the years, Downtown Lancaster has evolved into a thriving hub for commercial, retail, and business activities. At its core is a dynamic mixed-use center offering a diverse range of retail establishments, dining destinations, and office spaces. The development has continued to expand with One Lancaster Park, the upcoming WalterMart Lancaster, and the emergence of various retail and commercial establishments, further reinforcing its role as a growing lifestyle and business destination within the community.

The area is poised for further growth with the development of Riverpark Gateway, which will introduce additional residential and commercial offerings, including an upcoming condominium development and a Starbucks branch. These new developments are expected to further enhance the vibrancy and connectivity of the district.

Meanwhile, a new commercial district is also being developed within Lancaster New City Zone 2. This emerging mixed-use zone is planned to feature retail establishments, institutions, and a Cavite BRT terminal. The district is envisioned to provide greater convenience and accessibility to residents within and around LNC, while complementing the continued growth of Downtown Lancaster as a key commercial and lifestyle destination.

✅️ We don't choose the weather.
But we can choose the kind of home we come home to.

For those with means and opportunities, the rainy season is a reminder why choosing the right home for the future matters.

At Westwind Condominium in Lancaster New City, condo living can mean having a more secure and comfortable space to come home to—especially when the weather outside isn't cooperating.

↘️ Why condo living can make rainy days less of a struggle:

🌧️ Less exposure to the elements
No need to worry about a flooded garage or muddy outdoor spaces just to get inside your home.

🏠 A more secure home base
A well-managed residential community gives families an added sense of security and peace of mind.

💻 Stay productive indoors
With a comfortable space for work and online activities, rainy days don't necessarily have to put your plans on hold.

🍲 More meaningful time together
Sometimes, the best rainy-day plan is simply a family meal with a warm bowl of soup and nowhere else to be.

🛍️ Convenience within the community
With essential establishments and lifestyle spaces within Lancaster New City, everyday errands and family needs can be more accessible without having to travel far.

VITRO, the data center arm of PLDT, is planning to build a data center in Southern Luzon with a capacity of up to 100 megawatts, with General Trias, Cavite identified as a possible site.

The project is estimated to cost around P40 billion, reflecting the growing demand for digital infrastructure in the country. VITRO reported a 13% increase in data center revenues in the first half of the year.
