Makati mayor Abby Binay says Makati subway may breakground

WhatsApp-Image-2018-08-23-at-6.33.07-PM-

Map: source

Target: by year-end, once a US$3.7Bn Swiss challenge is completed
+ Originated as a PPP proposal from an international consortium
+ IRC Properties, the consortium, was given Originating proponent Status
+ Bids to be submitted by end Sept.2018, and IRC may win by matching best

10 kilometer Urban Rail system will connect:
+ key points in Makati, along Ayala Ave
., Makati City Hall, Poblocion Heritage site,
. Univ.of Makati, Ospital ng Makati, & other new business districts
+ will also connect to MRT, Pasig River ferry, and new Mega-Manila subway
+ Expected to serve 700,000 passengers a day, along 10 stations
+ Air conditioned cars and stations
(per Makati Bulletin, pg 13, Fri.Aug,24)

My own Back of envelope calculations:
$3.7B x 10%= US$370M/ 365 = $1M = P53M day capital costs / 700k= P76 for cap costs only (operating costs also need to be covered)
So journeys likely to cost p100 or more (that's my guess)
To keep costs down, they will have to develop property at stations (per HK)

You can probably make some money, if you know the EXACT locations of future stations. This should be good for Rockwell and Burgos, as well as "upper BGC" since these areas are not now well connected

BGC Uptown "Transport Hub" : This article has an interesting Footnote

Megaworld to build 25-storey tower for JPMorgan Chase Bank

jpmorgan-chase-image.jpg

EXCERPT

"Megaworld, the Philippines’ largest developer and lessor of office spaces, is constructing a 25-storey, build-to-suit office building for the Philippine Global Service Center of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the leading global banking and financial services provider.

Offering an estimated 70,000 square meters of gross leasable area, it is the country’s biggest single office lease transaction in terms of total space leased to a single company and transaction value.

“Megaworld is proud to build the new home of JPMorgan Chase in Fort Bonifacio as it consolidates its existing Metro Manila operations under one roof – all in a state-of-the-art, prime and green office tower right at the heart of the booming Uptown Bonifacio. This multibillion peso deal with a single company is the biggest in the country’s office leasing industry,” says Jericho P. Go, senior vice president, Megaworld."

" The new development, strategically located along 38th Street corner 9th Avenue in Uptown Bonifacio, is a few meters away from the future Uptown Transport Hub beside Kalayaan Avenue, the proposed Skytrain monorail system that connects Taguig’s Fort Bonifacio to Makati, as well as the future Kalayaan Station of the Mega Manila Subway and the Fort Bonifacio Bus Rapid Transit System.

THREE FOLD PRICE RISE?

Properties near subway project to Triple Prices

- article in today's Manila Times, pg B2

1-1.png

PROPERTY prices in areas along the planned Mega Manila subway project are seen to double or even triple

as developments will be more attractive to buyers due to better accessibility, according to global property firm

+ Residential land properties may double within 1 km of 13 stations

+ Commercial property may increase three-fold, from start of construction to full operation

subway-20170906_1.jpg

Best areas predicted by Colliers to be:

1. Parts of Quezon City, which has 7 of the 13 stations, esp. near the connection of MRT, LRT

2. North Avenue area, and Quirino and Tandang Sora for residential and hotel projects

3. Anonas Street in Project 4 for low and mid rise Condos. (Katipunan has less appeal, 'cuz of limited land)

4. Ortigas North and South Stations, good for high rise offices and condos, thanks to Ortigas Center

5. Kalayaan and BGC for dormitories

6. Government owned properties near Cayetano Avenue, for office, condos, and retail

7. ARCA South to be new major CBD

Big firms should consider their own infrastructure projects near stations, and new redevelopment

Big Project, with a Big Cost

Gov't bumps up cost of North-South Railway

NEDA's committee has approved a Higher cost for NSCR, North-South Commuter Rail system.

Huge NSCR Project connects:
+ Malolos-Tutuban rail (NSCR phase-1)
+ PNR South Commuter Railway (Solis-Calamba)
+ Malolos-Clark Railway Project (MCRP)
When connected will provide,  147 km elevated double-track seamless connection
from Clark Int'l airport to Calamba with 36 station. The system will also link
with existing railways: LRT-1, LRT-2, and MRT-3, as well as the upcoming Metro
Manila Subway (Mega-Manila?)

Cost is now put at P777.55 billion (/53=US$14.7 bn.), up XX% from 440.88 Bn.
It would be funded through loans from Japan (JICA) and the ADB.
The reasons for the big jump in estimated costs:
+ Shift to elevated viaducts, instead of at-grade, to improve operational efficiency
+ standard gauge rather than narrow gauge
+ increase in the number of trains and change from single to double tracks
Re-settlement costs are also now included

NAME CHANGE in MAKATI: Buendia > Dela Rosa Station

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZSJ13CnIwcpE6tfOrq23

fvG5VjC.jpg

Dela Rosa Station, Makati  is a station on the South Main Line ("Southrail") of the Philippine National Railways. Like all PNR stations, this station is at grade. The station is located at the corner of Dela Rosa Street and the South Luzon Expressway in Makati.

Dela Rosa is the ninth station from Tutuban and is one of three stations serving Makati, the other two being Pasay Road and EDSA.

Dela Rosa station is the replacement of Buendia station, which was closed on September 7, 2017.

On August 1, 2018, Dela Rosa station became part of newly opened Caloocan shuttle line until September 10 when the line was extended to FTI railway station as the new terminus of the said line

. . . "THE Philippine National Railways (PNR) will be sending trains to ply the Caloocan-Dela Rosa route once again, decades after it was closed in the late 1990s due to the Northrail project.

The Department of Transportation (DoTr), in a statement on Monday, said the train line will start running on Aug. 1, Wednesday."

“. .  However, the project was defunct, it was not resurrected, until we were able to scrounge extra track material and parts. We resurrected the line in June 2018,” he added.

Mr. Magno said the Caloocan line will be used to cater to passengers from Makati and Caloocan while waiting for the new Tutuban-Malolos railway project, also called the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) or PNR North 1.

PNR to rebuild, upgrade railway system in Q4 2018

May 17, 2017

FOR higher speeds and broader supplier options, the Philippine National Railways will reconstruct its existing railway system starting in the fourth quarter of 2018, a Department of Transportation official said.

“The current railway gauge we have is narrow. It limits our speed to 180 kph, while the standard gauge can go as far as 300 kph,” Transportation Assistant Secretary Timothy John Batan told The Manila Times on Monday, on the sidelines of the Asean Multi-sectoral Forum in Valenzuela.

The reconstruction does not necessarily mean the PNR aims to attain 300 kph overnight, but it is “preparing at least for the future, if the government can already afford it,” Batan said.

Maintaining a narrow gauge limits supplier options which the government is trying to address. “Almost 60 percent of the world is already using a standard gauge,” Batan said.

The transport sector is now discussing how to reconstruct the existing railway system without halting train operations, the Transportation official said.

“That is an ongoing discussion. There is a way to construct the new system without having to stop the current operations,” Batan said.

Station layout

All PNR stations were and are presently at-grade, with most stations using a side platform layout. Most have only basic amenities, platforms and ticket booths. Rehabilitated stations along the Metro Manila line have been fitted with ramps for passengers using wheelchairs. Several stations have extended platforms, having an upper platform catering to DMU services, and a lower platform for regular locomotive-hauled services.

As of August 2017, most of the stations are being extended and equipped with platform-length roofing, better ticketing office, and restrooms.

Future railway systems under the PNR, such as that of the new Northrail line, proposes elevated stations and platforms similar to the LRT-1 and 2, and the MRT-3 and 7 in select sections.

MAP OF THE FUTURE?

The imagined (& partly fantasized?) future of Greater Manila's rail system

manila-v3.jpg

> Larger image

What Will Metro Manila's Railway Network Look Like, With All These Planned Projects?

A SkyscraperCity.com forum user imagines the planned railways with the existing ones.

A SkyscraperCity.com forum user named OctaviusIII compiled them and mapped out the network of existing, underway, and planned railways and BRT lines. Apart from the LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3, and PNR that we already know, this includes:

LRT-1 Extension from the existing Baclaran station to Bacoor, Cavite, which starts mid-2018 with a target completion of 2021

LRT-2 East and West Extensions; from the existing Santolan station to Masinag, Antipolo, and from the existing Recto station to Pier 4 of the Manila North Harbor; with a target completion by the first quarter of 2019 for the East extension.

LRT-4 which runs from Taytay, Rizal to the Ortigas Business District, with an initial target completion of June 2021. But that target (and those station assignments) were set and planned when the project was still under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) program, and was contingent on a four-year construction period from 2017. Last we've heard, proposals for the LRT-4 project were being prepared by local businessman Salvador B. Zamora III, along with Chinese firms in the fourth quarter of 2017.

MRT-5, or the Metro Manila Subway, 

... which runs from Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, with a target completion for the first three stations set for May 2022. Not indicated in the map are the envisioned extensions to Bulacan in the north and Cavite in the south, which were mentioned by Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III.

LRT-6, which runs from the tip of the LRT-1 extention in Bacoor to Dasmariñas, Cavite. Last we've heard, the prequalification process for the project was delayed in 2016. It was originally planned to start construction in 2016 and begin operations in 2021.

MRT-7, which runs from San Jose del Monte in Bulacan to the Unified Grand Central Station in North Avenue, Quezon City. Construction of the MRT-7 is now underway. The project broke ground in 2016 and is expected to be completed by 2019.

PNR Northrail, which runs from Tutuban to Clark. The first phase of this project, which covers stations from Tutuban to Malolos, Bulacan, broke ground in January 2018 and is expected to be fully operational by 2021.

Users in the Skyscraper City forum have pointed out some stations are misplaced on the map, and that there are some misspelled station names. Nevertheless, to see all the lines together gives a more concrete sense of what we could have in the years to come.

REOPENED recently, Caloocan* > Makati

Six trains with a total capacity of 700 to 800 passengers were deployed to accommodate an expected 10,000 commuters.

Tugade added the project does not only provide service to commuters but also gives extra income for the government.

With a running time of 37 minutes, the DOTr claims the newly reopened line is the fastest and most cost-efficient means of transportation from Caloocan to Makati.

PNR-10.jpg

The 13-kilometer route stops at the 10th Avenue (Macario Asistio), 5th Avenue, Solis, Blumentritt, España, Sta. Mesa, and Dela Rosa stations.

CALOOCAN : As of 2015, the city has a population of 1,583,978 people, which makes it the fourth largest city in the Philippines in population.[3] Under the same census year, Caloocan South (Barangays 1 to 164) has a population of 585,091 and Caloocan North (Barangays 165 to 188) has a population of 998,887.

The population density of Caloocan (28,387 persons per square kilometer) surpasses that of the NCR population density.

Transportation

The LRT-1 has a terminal at Monumento that passes through the city's 5th Avenue LRT Station. The railway traverses Rizal Avenue Extension and enters the City of Manila and Pasay City. The stretch can be traveled in about 30 minutes. Philippine National Railways also has a line, with its terminal at Samson Road, and passes through Caloocan railway station, Asistio Avenue railway station, and C-3 railway station. The currently under construction MRT-7 had also proposed two stations located at the northern part of Caloocan that will be passing at Sacred Heart MRT Station and Tala MRT Station.

ENHANCING the Transport Infrastructure of Makati & BGC

According to a Megaworld email, here is what is planned

Golden Age of Infrastructure

Aiming to be the most modern city in the Philippines, Philippine government is making great infrastructure to make Fort Bonifacio more accessible and to bring convenience on traffic within the next years to 2025.

hhbHPMH.gif\

Megaworld focuses mainly on the infrastructure that will connect Bonifacio Global City, Mckinley Hill and Mckinley West as one Fort Bonifacio.
As MEG sees it, Bonifacio Global City is a financial district in Fort Bonifacio where iconic developments and the center of Fort.
Mckinley Hill is the most complete community in Fort Bonifacio with residences, offices, embassies, international schools and a world-class mall.
Mckinley West is the most exclusive community of Fort Bonifacio beside Forbes Park, Manila Polo Club, Manila Golf Country Club. It is very near Dasmarinas Village and NAIA International Airport. Megaworld aims to develop it as the second Uptown Bonifacio.

(MEG herein ignores the proposed subway running through Makati, and connecting it to BGC.)

MANILA, Philippines — The completion of Metro Manila’s first subway could trigger a surge in property prices in the Philippine capital, with Quezon City seen benefitting the most from the project over the near to medium term, according to real estate consultancy services firm Colliers International Philippines.

Construction on the 30-km Manila subway officially began Wednesday, February 27, with the big-ticket project seen to ease the capital’s infamous traffic gridlock. The underground rail line will have 15 stations and is expected to be completed in 2025.

Meanwhile, a partial operation of the first three stations is set in 2022. Designed to run at 80 kilometers per hour, the subway will reduce travel time from Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City to Ninoy Aquino International Airport — the country’s premier gateway — to about 30 minutes.

In a commentary, Colliers said the subway should help provide access to properties that could be redeveloped into mixed commercial, residential, hotel and institutional projects.

Colliers also sees the project raising the prices of land and properties within a kilometer from the subway’s stations, adding that private developers should take advantage of the government’s infrastructure push.

“Colliers believes that working with the national government for the development of commercial and residential buildings around the stations of the Manila Subway is a practical route for property developers given the lack of developable land in the country’s capital,” the consultancy firm said.

“In our opinion, this option is something that the government should seriously consider given its goal of raising additional revenues to fund its massive social and infrastructure programs, especially now that the remaining tax reform measures have yet to be passed in Congress,” it added.

“This way, the government gets additional revenues crucial for its ‘Build, Build, Build’ program and spurs more business activities in the newly-established business districts, which should eventually generate more jobs and tax revenues.”

 

. . .  In the same commentary, Colliers said Quezon City could gain from the planned subway as seven of the 14 stations would be developed within the city.

“With improving connectivity given the construction of Manila Subway, MRT-7 and the common LRT-MRT station, we see Quezon City becoming more attractive for mixed-use projects that feature office, residential, and retail projects,” Colliers said.

“Among the stations well suited for townships is North Avenue given its interconnection with other mass transportation systems,” it added.

LRT coming to Las Pinas & Cavite

"We will have a ceremony on May 6, to signal the start of actual works of LRT Line 1 Cavite extension project,"

said Goddess Libiran, DOTr assistant secretary of communications

Building of LRT-1 Cavite extension to start May 6

LRT-1-030519.jpg

THE EXTENSION of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) to Cavite will start construction in early May, the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said Tuesday.

“We’ll have a ceremony on May 6 to signal the start of actual works of LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension Project. We’ll update you on its details in the coming days,” an officer from the DoTr communications department said in a mobile message to reporters.

LRT-1 operator Light Rail Manila Corp. (LRMC) confirmed the information in a text message to BusinessWorld.

“Confirmed. We have a media event on May 6 to launch the start of works, yes,” LRMC Corporate Communication Head Rochelle A. Gamboa said.

LRMC is building an 11.7-kilometer extension of LRT-1 from Baclaran, Parañaque City to Bacoor, Cavite. The added segment to the train line will consist of eight stations: Redemptorist, NAIA Avenue, Asia World, Ninoy Aquino, Dr. Santos, Las Piñas, Zapote and Niog.

The construction is scheduled to run until the fourth quarter of 2021. Once the Cavite extension is operational, it is expected to increase passenger traffic at LRT-1 to 800,000 daily passengers from 300,000 at present.

LRMC is a joint venture of Ayala Corp., Metro Pacific Light Rail Corp. and Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings (Philippines) Pte. Ltd. The company won the P65-billion, 32-year contract to operate LRT-1 in 2015, part of which is the construction of its Cavite extension.

Metro Pacific Investments Corp. is one of three Philippine subsidiaries of Hong Kong’s First Pacific Co. Ltd., the others being PLDT, Inc. and Philex Mining Corp. Hastings Holdings, Inc., a unit of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, Inc., maintains an interest in BusinessWorld through the Philippine Star Group.

ROAD COMPLETIONS (in 2020) may show the power of Build Build Build

Eight road projects in Luzon are expected to be completed in the next 12 months

A Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) report released in 2012 indicated that the Philippines lost P2.4 billion a day due to traffic congestion in Metro Manila. Six years after, a study conducted by JICA said the number had gone up to P3.5 billion. Now, road usage in Metro Manila is at about 13.4 million trips per day and could go as high as 16.1 million in 17 years. Absent any infrastructure intervention, economic losses could also rise up to P5.4 billion in 2035.

But in 2018, JICA Chief Representative to the Philippines Susumu Ito noted that with the Build Build Build program of the Duterte administration, the country could actually reverse the trend. Ito said the losses will be reduced to P3 billion with its completion and could go back to P2.4 billion with the opening of additional infrastructure projects.

. . . Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar reported the completion of 9,845 kms of road, 2,709 bridges, 4,536 flood control projects, 82 evacuation centres, and 71,803 classrooms since June 2016.

Metro Manila Master Plan

When Secretary Mark Villar first laid out the plan for the Luzon Spine Expressway, an 888.26 km network of High-Standard Highways in Luzon — about twice the existing network of 382 km, the objective was to ensure every major city in Metro Manila is connected within a 20 to 30 minute timeframe and that travel time from Ilocos to Bicol is reduced by half from 19 hours and 40 minutes to 8 hours and 15 minutes.

SKYWAY3-300x400.jpg

Skyway Stage 3

The Plaza Dilao Ramp of Skyway Stage 3, an 18.68-kilometer elevated expressway stretched over Metro Manila from Buendia, Makati City, to Balintawak, Quezon City, is already open to the public. When completed in its entirety, the project will reduce travel time from Buendia, Makati City to Balintawak, Quezon City, from the current two hours to just 15 to 20 minutes.

The project which is expected to be substantially completed by 2019 will have eight access ramps/interchanges strategically located as follows: Buendia Avenue (South Super Highway, Makati City), Pres. Quirino Avenue (Malate, Manila), Plaza Dilao (Paco, Manila), Nagtahan/Aurora Boulevard (Manila), E. Rodriguez Avenue (Quezon City), Quezon Avenue (Quezon City), Sgt. Rivera St. (Quezon City), and NLEX.

NLEX Harbor Spur Link 

The 2.6-km NLEX Harbor Spur Link, which connects to the existing 5.58-km NLEX Harbor Link connecting Karuhatan in Valenzuela City to C3 Road in Caloocan City is also about to be completed.

The first truck-graded expressway is expected to reduce travel time from Port Area in Manila to Quezon City from 1.5 hours to only 10 mins.

Tarlac – Pangasinan La Union Expressway

The project, which was partially opened in December 2017, starts from Tarlac City and traverses Gerona in Tarlac, Rosales, Urdaneta, and Pozzorubio in Pangasinan and Rosario in La Union. When completed, it is expected to reduce travel time from Manila to La Union from 6 hours to only 3.5 hours. It is also expected to cut travel time from Tarlac to La Union from 3.5 hours to just an hour, benefitting an average of 20,000 vehicles per day.

Central Luzon Link Expressway – Phase 1

The 30-km four-lane expressway will reduce travel time between Tarlac City and Cabanatuan City from 70 minutes to 20 minutes, decongesting traffic passing thru Daang Maharlika by about 48%.

Mindanao Avenue Extension

The 3.52 km highway traversing Mindanao Avenue Extension and Gen Luis Avenue in Caloocan is expected to significantly reduce travel time from Quezon City to Caloocan.

Lawton Avenue

Phase 1 of the road project will cover about 1.34 kilometer of the Lawton Avenue  which has a total length of 3.54 kilometers that follows a part of the alignment of the old Nichols route running roughly southwest to northeast from the interchange of SLEX/Skyway to Fifth Avenue and Manila American Cemetery Memorial.

C5 Southlink

The first section of the Cavitex C5 Southlink — the 2.2-kilometer flyover crossing South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) traversing Taguig and Pasay City – has been opened this July. The construction of the next 2.1 km section between Merville and Sucat, Las Piñas City will soon start, and eventually connect to the Paranaque side of Cavitex by 2022.

Katipunan Avenue Extension

The Phase 1 of the 6.75 km road project traversing Katipunan Avenue to Batasan-San Mateo Road is expected to cut travel time from Katipunan to Commonwealth and Fairview by at least 20%.
