History
Development and construction
The NGAC is being developed by AlloyMTD, the investment arm of Malaysian firm MTD Capital.[3]
The planning for the NGAC began as early as September 2017 with the groundbreaking ceremony held on January 23, 2018.[2] The Phase 1 of the development includes backup offices of various government agencies[2] as contingency in case a national calamity and disaster affect the capital, Manila[3] as well as a "one-stop-shop" for business enterprises in Central Luzon.[2]
Phase 1A of the development includes the construction of a sports complex consisting of a stadium with 20,100 seating capacity and an aquatics center with 2,000 seating capacity which is meant to be one of the venues of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games to be hosted by the Philippines. Phase 1B involves the construction of additional government facilities.[2]
