History
The project began as early as May 2002 with the issuance of Executive Order No. 106[3] by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo creating the tripartite body called the North Triangle Development Committee that will oversee the development of the Quezon City Central Business District after a visit in the area on February 19, 2012. The committee is tasked specifically to study and resolve the problem of security of tenure of the residents in North Triangle – a 37-hectare (91-acre) property of the National Housing Authority (NHA) that is leased to the Robinsons Land Corporation.
By 2007, the covered area expanded to 250 hectares (620 acres) while the name and composition of the body tasked to define and implement the plan was changed by Executive Orders No. 620[4] and 620-A[5] issued May 4 and September 11, respectively. These Executive Orders mandate the “rationalization and speeding up of the development of the East and North Triangles, and the Veterans Memorial Medical Center area of Quezon City, as a well-planned, integrated and environmentally balanced mixed-use development model.” It also transformed the North Triangle Development Committee into the Urban Triangle Development Commission (TriDev Commission) and shrank the composition of said body from five to three members.
In March 2012, the Quezon City council passed an ordinance[6] classifying 250.6 hectares (619 acres) of the North Triangle, East Triangle and the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) as a Central Business District including a master plan for the orderly organization of the area with distinct regulations and standards not provided for in existing laws.[7]
