Good day, DOTr, I would like to re-request for the architectural design renders of the Unified Grand Central Station or Common Station, as mentioned in my first request. My purpose on this request is to know how the terminal complex would look like once it is finished, at least on certain portions like Area B, and also to address public concern, since we are waiting for this project to be completed after 10 years by sharing it to the public. I would also appreciate if you will also provide the project timeline, if available. Thank you!

Your request was already forwarded to the concerned office. Thank you.

July 29, 2019 Dear Renzett Garcia, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jul 22, 2019 01:07:41 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for Architectural design render and timeline of Common Station. We highly appreciate your concern regarding the Common Station Project. However, we regret to inform you that your request cannot be provided as of this moment for the following reasons: 1. As seen on site, the ongoing construction of Area B, particularly that of Area B-1 (or the Common Station Atrium), is only the implementation of its structural works. Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) is yet to have the final design for its facade. 2. Basically, the architectural designs of Areas A, B, and C of the Common Station shall be uniform and consistent throughout. All parties shall concur to a common design of the facade, despite the differences in their implementation schedules. 3. Note: All renders you may see available on the internet are concept designs. DOTr, ALI, and SMC is in close coordination for the agreement in the design. The DOTr will be happy to provide the public the Architectural Renders of the Common Station, to be posted in preferred conspicuous spaces (e.g. DOTr Website, DOTr Facebook Page, etc.), as soon as the design and renders are finalized and ready for publication. With regards to the timeline, please note of the following target key dates: 1. Area A (DOTr) DED Completion: 2Q 2020 Construction Timeline: May 2019 - Q1 2021 2. Area B (ALI) DED Completion: 4Q 2019 Construction Timeline: Nov 2018 - Dec 2019 3. Area C (aka Station 1 of MRT-7, SMC) DED Completion: 4Q 2019 If you are not satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to appeal to the Office of the President under Administrative Order No. 22 (s. 2011). Thank you. Respectfully, DOTR-DM DOTR FOI Receiving Officer
