CALOOCAN (NORTH) | Pangarap Village - Araneta Properties/Carmel Development [oth]

The Supreme Court, in a January 25 decision made public this month, affirmed the Court of Appeals’ decision reversing the Caloocan Regional Trial Court’s granting of a writ of preliminary injunction in connection with security measures installed and operated by CDI at the entrance of and along Gregorio Araneta Avenue.

-----

But in its ruling, the high court found that the CA “did not commit any reversible error when it reversed the RTC’s order granting the City’s prayer for the issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction.”

The city “failed to establish the requisites of a writ of preliminary injunction, particularly the existence of a clear and unmistakable right to be protected and the material and substantial invasion thereof,” the Supreme Court said.

Araneta Properties chairman Gregorio Araneta III said the company’s property in Caloocan was a very good site for a business district because of the development of Metro Rail Transit Line 7 in the northern part of Metro Manila.

“That would be my central business district because currently there is no central business district in Caloocan. It will be the best township development,” Araneta said.

The property firm is reviewing its funding options to finance the development of the project. The Caloocan property is one of the big pieces of land that Araneta plans to consolidate under his listed property firm. Aside from the Caloocan property, Araneta also consolidates additional properties in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan under the listed entity.
