Aseana City Spotlight: Parqal

Parqal sits at the heart of Aseana City as its main street and a place where people commune. Its shaded promenades, arcaded walkways, and public plazas are designed for people to move, meet, and connect. Since opening in 2023, it has become the estate’s most recognizable address and a dependable stage for daily life — from a quick coffee after a shift to an evening run or a weekend festival.

Design with a purpose

The name blends “park” and “kalye”, and the idea holds. A canopy links nine low-rise buildings, creating a climate-protected spine where retail, dining, and public space flow into one another. The architecture prioritizes comfort and movement; people can cross from office to shop to open plaza without battling the sun or rain.

A calendar that builds community

Parqal’s strength is what happens in it. The amphitheater and Bounce at Parqal host a steady stream of public programming: weekly Fitness at the Parq cardio sessions, open to anyone who wants to join; Soul Sunday Mat Pilates for those seeking mindful movement; Run Aseana meetups that bring workers, residents, and visitors together for guided group runs; and seasonal festivities that turn the canopy into a lighted backdrop for celebrations. These placemaking activities knit the community together.

Parqal has also welcomed larger cultural formats that draw diverse crowds. The Biyaya Sustainable Living Festival celebrating coffee, craft, and culture, ran at Parqal earlier this year and filled the promenades with roasters, weavers, and artisans.

Everyday ease

Between headline events, Parqal works in quieter ways. The shaded spine makes errand-hopping on foot practical and open-air lounges encourage unplanned stops and short meetings. For teams based in Aseana City, Parqal allows a reliable place for daily routines and informal connections. The value is less about amenities as checkboxes and more about supporting how people actually want to live and work.

Recognition

Parqal’s design credibility has been affirmed at the global stage. Its BERDE 5-Star certification anchors Aseana City’s broader sustainability narrative, and in 2024, Parqal was included among Prix Versailles’ list of the World’s Most Beautiful Emporiums, signaling international attention to the Manila bayfront project built at human scale.

A quiet edge for employers

Parqal was conceived as a place for people to gather in Aseana and has since developed into a setting that naturally supports both daily living and professional life. Its walkable spine makes errands between shifts easier, wellness programs create simple pathways to healthier habits, and a steady flow of cultural events keeps the district vibrant and visible. For locators, the takeaway is clear: in Aseana City, the everyday environment itself fosters engagement, cohesion, and a sense of community.
