Ciudad de Victoria, Mixed-use development in Santa Maria and Bocaue, Philippines
Ciudad de Victoria is a large mixed-use complex with residential buildings, office spaces, shopping centers, sports facilities, and educational institutions spread across approximately 140 hectares in Bulacan. The development brings together housing, business, and leisure amenities within a single integrated site.
The transformation from farmland to an integrated complex began in 2011 with construction of the Philippine Arena and was completed in 2014 for the Iglesia ni Cristo's centennial celebration. This completion marked a turning point in the site's development and changed the region's trajectory.
The complex features multiple venues for performances, including the Philippine Arena and outdoor plazas where community events and religious gatherings take place. These spaces shape daily life in the development and serve as central meeting points for visitors and residents.
The complex connects directly to the North Luzon Expressway, providing straightforward access to Metro Manila and surrounding areas. Visitors should plan adequate time to explore the different sections, as the site is quite large and spread out.
The complex holds three world records set during New Year's Eve 2014 for simultaneous fireworks displays and sparkler lighting events. These records were officially documented for the largest coordinated pyrotechnic show ever attempted.
