CLARK FREEPORT— The Real Estate Construct & Furnishing Expo, held on November 22–23 at SMX Clark Convention Center, concluded with investor interest and commitments to expand housing and job opportunities for Clark’s workforce.
Organized by City Clark Production, the two-day event featured 30 exhibitors and presented more than 2,000 housing units priced from under ₱1 million to ₱3 million, along with sustainable construction solutions and furnishing innovations.
Organizers Krizia Tranquilino and Roderick Salunga reported that ₱500 million worth of housing projects were showcased during the expo.
Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera, together with CDC Chairman Atty. Edgardo Pamintuan and other officials led the ribbon‑cutting ceremony. She emphasized that housing is a cornerstone of workforce stability and economic growth.
“Accessible housing is not just a house—it is a home for all of us,” Atty. Devanadera said.
“Clark has 151,000 workers and 1,350 locators. They have the purchasing power to invest in homes they can call their own,” she added.
Atty. Devanadera cited Pampanga’s one percent poverty rate, among the lowest in the country, as an indicator of consumer demand.
The expo featured housing projects across Pampanga and nearby towns and cities, including Angeles, Mabalacat, Capas, Bamban, Porac, and Bataan. Other participating industries included banks, home supplies, furniture, CCTV, home security, and local handicrafts.
CDC announced plans to collaborate with developers and Clark locators to create employee housing programs and host real estate expos to sustain growth in the property sector.
