GREENFIELD Development Corp. (GDC) marks the next phase of development with the groundbreaking of its new parking building with integrated retail spaces, designed to complement the current retail activity in the area, while setting the stage for future projects within the Greenfield District.
More than a parking facility, the project reflects Greenfield’s long-term vision of building spaces that prioritize community, connection, accessibility, convenience, and everyday wellness. Designed and built by Ilo Corporation, the groundbreaking ceremony was led by GDC President Atty. Duane Santos and other executives in attendance.

Designing urban spaces around wellness
At the heart of the project is a simple but powerful idea: the park is the development, and everything else – retail, offices, parking – serves as the amenity.
The steel parking structure will feature five floors of parking, with retail and commercial establishments at ground level, seamlessly integrated into a walkable, green environment. It forms part of Phase 1 of GDC’s next major development, set to commence in the first quarter of 2026 and projected for completion by the end of the year.
Phase 1 covers a 33,478-square-meter block and features a 295-meter linear walkway, four meters wide, designed to promote movement, interaction, and everyday community life.
Building more than infrastructure
For Greenfield, this groundbreaking represents something far deeper than a construction milestone.
Over the years, Greenfield District has steadily cultivated spaces that support both personal and social wellness, from wide pavements for running, parks for yoga; basketball, volleyball, and padel courts, to open spaces that organically bring people together.
“We built the community; we built the health and sports facilities together with the parks and green open spaces as a venue to develop meaningful relationships, a sense of belonging and community engagement – the key attributes of social wellness,” Santos explained. “This steel parking area, together with this linear park, marks the first phase of our development. The park will be the spine of the whole District, connecting health facilities and social spaces into one continuous story of wellness,” shared Santos.

A foundation for what comes next
“This project responds to how people actually live in Greenfield today,” Santos said. “It supports daily movement and activity while creating a stronger base for future developments across the district.”
As Phase 1 takes shape, the steel parking development stands as both a functional necessity and a symbolic foundation that supports growth while reinforcing GDC’s commitment to people-centric urban living.
Because in Greenfield, development goes beyond buildings and structures. It’s measured by communities growing stronger, healthier, and more connected now and in the years ahead.
Wellness isn’t distant. It is inclusive. It’s shared. Wellness belongs here. We belong here.
