MANILA – Architectural and engineering design for the larger portion of the new Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) complex in New Clark City is expected to be finished by July to August this year.
BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno said he and Monetary Board member Anita Linda Aquino, along with officials of Aidea Inc., signed last February 28 the contract for the architectural and engineering design for the facility in Central Luzon.
“The design will be finished in five months to six months, then we will contract out the construction, which will probably take around two years,” he said in a virtual briefing on Thursday.
The BSP complex in the New Clark City sits on more than 30-hectare land.
Aidea, which won the bidding for the architectural and engineering design, has been tasked for the development of more than 21 hectares.
Diokno said the covered area of the facility is designated for the construction of an office building, the BSP museum, an academic building, a sports complex, data and command centers, and commercial stalls.
“With the signing of the agreement, we move one step closer toward building this inclusive, green, smart, and modern facility,” he added. (PNA)
