A Filipino-owned holding company is changing the face of Guiguinto, Bulacan, and the lives of its residents as well.
Czark Mak Corp. started in the town with the development in 2017 of T12 Polo Industrial Estates, a 15-hectare property that houses warehousing facilities mostly for fast-moving consumer goods, with leasable space of 56,000 square meters.
Now, it is developing Acro City, a 10-hectare property within T12, which is now the site of a three-story boutique hotel called Acro Residences.
Just last week, Acrocity Residences was unveiled to the public, coinciding with the opening of Café de Margaux Bistro on the ground floor attended by a number of VIPs including Sen. JV Ejercito, Guiguinto Mayor Agatha Cruz, Bulacan 5th district Rep. Ambrosio Cruz, Baliuag Mayor Ferdie Estrella and Malolos Vice Mayor Miguel Tengco-Bautista.
Acrocity is also the home of Mt. Fuji Japanese Restaurant and will soon have a Chinese restaurant within the year.
Czark Mak chairman and president Caesar Wongchuking revealed that the group is now looking into expanding their business by developing a mid-rise residential building within Acrocity.
He explained that Acrocity Residences’ development was brought about by the need for more world-class hotels in the area. It is the biggest hotel in Guiguinto, with 102 rooms.
The growth of Guiguinto town is inevitable, especially with huge infrastructure projects like Northrail, which will pass through the nearby town of Malolos, underway. San Miguel Corp.’s ongoing international airport development is also only 10 minutes away, not to mention SMC’s MRT-7 project which will have its last station in San Jose, Del Monte, Bulacan.
Czark Mak also owns Polaris Industrial Estates in Baliuag, Bulacan, Sapporo Ice and Cold Storage and Acro Ice which has facilities in Cavite, Bacolod, Bulacan and Batangas, Nordic Atlantic Logistics Group, to name a few.
