Through the years, the City of San Fernando, Pampanga has proven that it has come a long way since its founding in 1794. Today, Pampanga’s capital city is at the forefront of growth and development in the entire Central Luzon, contributing a major share to the business and trade opportunities in the region and complementing its neighboring areas’ share in agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing activities.
With the government’s massive infrastructure development program, local and multinational property developers and manufacturers are expanding to Pampanga with confidence as the area rapidly grows into a prime business, lifestyle, leisure, and tourism destination.
One such project is Megaworld’s Capital Town Pampanga in the City of San Fernando. The 36.5-hectare master planned township development will offer a wide range of amenities and features where residents can truly experience the LIVE-WORK-PLAY-SHOP signature concept that Megaworld has developed and perfected over the years.
New to a Megaworld township? Here’s a list of things to expect from your new home in the North.
Experience a slice of township living in the North
With almost 30 years of experience in building sustainable township developments, Capital Town Pampanga is a culmination of Megaworld’s expertise that will complement the best of Kapampangan culture and heritage.
Vestiges of Pampanga’s long and colorful history will be visible throughout the township. The storefronts lining the Shophouse District will echo the look of Pampanga in the 1950s with its newly-constructed Neoclassic architecture with Art Deco details, along with fountains and tribute statues featuring known heroes, playwrights and others key figures.
Capital Town Pampanga will offer a different kind of experience than any other township in the country. Pampanga’s heritage homes and Spanish-era churches will provide a welcome contrast to the more upscale districts of the township where modern facilities such as malls and offices can be found. This will be the perfect starting point for residents to experience Megaworld’s LIVE-WORK-PLAY-SHOP concept in the North as the township is designed to be accessible and convenient with its many walkable pathways and patches of nature.
As a future resident of Capital Town Pampanga, you get direct access to the township’s key business, leisure, and entertainment establishments. Retail strips, landscaped parks, BPO offices, and more will be a short walk away from your home. Going in and out of the township will also be a breeze with its direct access to the Capitol and San Fernando boulevards, the township’s two main roads.
Discover new finds in the Shophouse District
The Shophouse District will contain the township’s shopping and dining components in a more quaint setting. Inspired by the imagery of Pampanga in the 1950s, the Shophouse District will feature rows of beautiful establishments donned in Neoclassical architecture with Art deco details. Fountains, cobblestone-lined, photo-worthy streets and tribute statues of Kapampangan playwrights, heroes and key figures will also be exhibited within the area. There will also be an Events Trade Hall for live performances and an Outdoor Amphitheater where the community can meet up, interact, and celebrate.

Similar to other Megaworld township projects across the country, Capital Town Pampanga will also have its own cyberpark to house top-grade offices for the Business Process Outsourcing industry. Recognizing the region’s growing potential, the cyberpark aims to provide new opportunities in the area and in neighboring provinces. Upon completion, the cyberpark along with the township’s other components is estimated to bring 250,000 direct and indirect jobs to the province.
Take in Pampanga’s history at the dedicated PASUDECO Museum
In commemoration of the PASUDECO’s legacy where the township now resides, a museum will be erected to exhibit the tale of its glory. This museum, which will be integrated within the proposed mall development, will house genuine artifacts from the sugar central. This will serve as a cultural landmark for the township where you can appreciate the historic roots of Pampanga. In the future, the museum may also host contemporary artwork from locals to put a spotlight on the new breed of artists in the province.
