The much anticipated opening of the 4-kilometer LRT Line 2 East-bound extension has risen the excitement not only of the residents in the East of Metro Manila who will enjoy a more convenient transportation option, but also the investors and speculators who are exploring potential property purchases in new locations other than the central business districts.

The two additional stations, Marikina and Antipolo, are expected to accommodate thousands of additional ridership daily, connecting the East to the rest of the Metro. Properties near these new train stations are projected to increase in market values over the coming years.

One of the major mixed-use developments in this area that will benefit from the LRT-2 East Extension is the 22-hectare Empire East Highland City along Felix Avenue in the boundary of Pasig City and Cainta, Rizal, just a couple of kilometers away from the newly opened LRT-2 Marikina Station. The future residents of its high-rise condominium towers will have a convenient commute to premier Central Business Districts or CBDs and university belts through this light railway system.

But aside from LRT-2, homebuyers and investors of Empire East Highland City should also look forward to other nearby mega projects under the government’s “Build Build Build” progam, making this township a viable real estate investment that will appreciate in market value over the coming years.

Here are some of the upcoming infrastructure projects with close proximity to Empire East Highland City:

MRT Line 4

The green light is on for the construction of another exciting elevated railway that will definitely decongest traffic in major highways. The 15.56-kilometer MRT Line 4 will link key cities in Metro Manila such as Quezon City, San Juan, Mandaluyong, and Pasig, and the urbanized areas of Cainta and Taytay in Rizal. This 11-station transit line is expected to be operational by 2025 to 2026. It will benefit the future residents of Empire East Highland City as its planned Cainta Junction Station at the intersection of Felix Avenue and Ortigas Avenue Extension will be only 1.6 kilometers away.

Metro Manila Subway

Moreover, MRT-4 will be linked to perhaps the most anticipated of all the transportation projects under the Build Build Build program—the Metro Manila Subway, the first underground rapid transit line in the country. In the Ortigas CBD area, MRT-4 and the Metro Manila Subway will intersect, where commuters can transfer to the 36-kilometer subway system that will traverse Quezon City, Pasig, Makati, Taguig and Pasay, and is also planned to be linked to the three passenger terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

Southeast Metro Manila (C-6) Expressway

Over a long period of time now, the C-6 Road has been envisioned to decongest the roads in the southeastern part of Metro Manila, so its plans have been redesigned and realigned several times. Through an efficient Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model implemented in most of the on-going infrastructure projects, this 32-kilometer major thoroughfare will soon connect Batasan Complex in Quezon City up to Bicutan in Taguig City through a route deviating from C-5 Road and EDSA.

Approximately 5.4 kilometers from Empire East Highland City, the Southeast Metro Manila Expressway, or simply called C-6 Expressway, will have a toll exit along Ortigas Avenue Extension. Upon entry to this interchange, future residents who will be driving towards its south end at FTI Exit will just have to traverse roughly 18.2 kilometers, swiftly connecting to Skyway going to the airport and to SLEX. While driving northbound towards the Batasan Complex Exit will only take roughly 10.9 kilometers, and there are plans to extend it to Bulacan so that NLEX can also be effortlessly reached.
