Sta. Cruz New Development Area
Sta. Cruz boasts of the already completed Naga City Health Office II, Sta. Cruz National High School and Naga City Event Center I. These projects are the city’s step to make community health, education, and commerce accessible for all. This new development area will strategically cater to the growing consumer demands of the neighboring Metro Naga municipalities: Gainza, Camaligan, Canaman, Magarao, Calabanga, Tinambac, and Siruma.

Complete with a new 20-meter wide road network that connects the business district to the uptown barangays of Naga, Balatas New Development Area will serve as a commercial expansion to the bustling Magsaysay Avenue. With a new hospital, public schools, and government offices in place, Balatas will draw in commercial traffic in the location. The PNP and BFP headquarters, Local agri-processing zones, and state-of-the-art command centers are great additions to this area.

Dubbed as the Central Business District 3, the Almeda New Development Area is an expansion to the 2 original business districts: the Centro Naga (CBD I) and CBD II. This new growth zone already houses large property development projects which features a shopping mall (Robinsons Mall), subdivisions, hotels (Summit & Go Hotel), and the upcoming Naga Global Business Park. Meanwhile, government projects will primarily focus on the technical and vocational training institute of TESDA. Completed government infrastructure projects are the City College of Naga and Molecular Laboratory.

The most anticipated completion of the Almeda-Mabolo Bypass Road will resolve the traffic in Diversion Road and Almeda Highway, and will also pave the way for commercialization in the area. This development area will serve as the recreational park and cultural center of Naga boasting the Interactive Water Features, Concert Grounds, River Esplanade and some Art Installations.
