LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub
The city of Legazpi is set to unveil a new integrated transport and lifestyle complex that will replace the old bus terminal. The P150-million modern terminal is touted as the first of its kind in the entire country – a showcase of what future transport terminals should be. The new terminal, dubbed as LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub, is built on a 3.9-hectare land located right in the geographical center of the city’s urban area. 
Perspective of LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub
It will feature several structures comprising the jeepney and filcab terminals, bus terminal, commercial spaces, and a lifestyle hub that is envisioned as a new shopping and entertainment destination for locals and tourists alike. Wilbert Lee, president of LKY Group, said the new terminal “will become a one-stop-shop catering to all the transport and lifestyle needs of the Legazpi market.”
The LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub will have an avant-garde design and efficient layout. This will be the first transport terminal in the country with a computerized entry-exit system to ensure a fast, efficient and organized terminal operation. Every driver will be given a swipe card that will serve as access card into the terminal. The system is hooked to several TV monitors installed in the waiting areas that will inform passengers of the arrival and departure of their bus, jeepney or filcab.
A well-planned and efficient layout will ensure the free flow of all vehicles to and from the terminal as well as within. The terminal will be accessible via four entry and exit points: two along F. Imperial St., along Tahao Road and via the access road to the Landco Business Park. There are also ample spaces for ticketing booths. The terminal will be a regional transport hub servicing not only the province of Albay but also the entire Bicol peninsula and beyond.
Site Development Plan of LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub
The new terminal promises to make commuting a breeze, with its strategically located waiting areas, food stalls and fast food joints serving freshly-cooked meals, and three clean, and well-maintained toilets. A passenger’s lounge will also be built offering a clean rest area for a fee for businessmen on the go complete with pay showers, lockers and a lounge.
The central terminal will not just be a transit point but a destination on its own. A new lifestyle hub adjacent to the terminal is expected to become a place to relax and be entertained, not only for road-weary travelers but also for the locals of Legazpi. The lifestyle hub is inspired by the Bonifacio High Street development in the Bonifacio Global City.
Retail stores, restaurants, cafes, bars and other business establishments enclose a central courtyard with landscaping and fountain. Some of the restaurant/cafe locators that will reportedly open in the LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub include Jollibee (will be the fourth branch in the city), Chowking (will be the 2nd branch), KFC and Mocha Blends.
The lifestyle hub offers opportunities for local businessmen. Commercial spaces are available for lease with rates that are lower than in malls. No percentage of sales will be required from locators.
Architect’s Renderings (Click on an image to start slideshow)
The construction of the LKY Metro Transport and Lifestyle Hub was implemented through a build-operate-transfer (BOT) agreement between the city of Legazpi and LKY Group. Thus, the terminal was built without a single centavo coming from the city government. As a BOT project, it is completely funded by LKY Group and will be turned over to the government after 40 years. Lee revealed that LKY Group will also build a similar terminal in Tacloban City.

i really love legazpi.muling babalik upang manirahan sa lupang tinubuan.
wow, my husband and I are looking forward to spend Christmas this year in Legazpi! This is a very exciting development for the city… Mabuhay!!!
Hi,
Sa October 5 na daw ang soft opening dito. May kiosk kami jan bili kayo haha.
Nice job! Ganda ng terminal.
Bakit daw na move na naman yung opening?
Sabi sakin ng leasing officer malas daw sa feng shui ang October 1. Dapat daw pataas ang number kya sa 5 na lang. Hehehe.
hey, this is nice. but I wish Legazpi would be a lot cleaner and greener minus those eyesore shanties living at the PNR railtracks & victory village. If the city government would make a permanent relocation / housing for these folks I guess the city itself would look modern and vibrant. Do you agree?
FINALLY!!! Buti nalang nag open na! We will have better terminals. Hope the group can develop more of these terminals. More power and congrats to Cong Salceda, Mayor Rosal and developer! By the way, I heard there’s also a 5-star hotel (Mayon Int’l Hotel?) opening soon! Surely bonga yan! Another pogi point for Congressman and Mayor

LKY Development Corporation, owner and developer of various subdivisions, commercial centers and other business developments, would like to introduce you to its premier and newest commercial and development project in Legazpi City, Albay – “Legazpi Terminal.”
Legazpi Terminal, envisioned to be the “first ever state-of-the-art transport terminal in the south,” is a 3.9 ha. development of a classy transport terminal facility and a business commercial center. It is strategically located at the heart of Legazpi City overlooking the magnificent Mayon Volcano. Projected to be the weary travelers’ perfect rest stop, The Metro will be offering the residents and commuters an impressive roster of dining choices shopping finds, and entertainment and leisure sites.
Legazpi Terminal is composed of its exclusive integral transport terminal and commercial center, showcasing a shopping and an entertainment hub.
The Transport Terminal offers first-rate terminal services with its modern well mapped-out system and state-of-the-art services and facilities. Among them are the high-end monitors hooked-up to the system and the computerized entrance and exit systems for a maximum security. It also manages the operation and interface of various land–based transport services such as buses, jeepneys, and filcabs. Hence, ensuring the fast and efficient terminal operations and making travel a whole lot easier for commuters.
Conversely, the Commercial Center equipped with its activity area, will be one of the top destination malls. With offerings of an exciting line up of food, entertainment and shopping selection the patrons will surely love. For the shopper’s comfort and convenience, it is divided into several shopping zones, each with its own unique attractions.
And being aggressive to be one of the front liners in the retail industry, we are in the lookout for concepts that would complement the tenant mix and add value to our projects, as well as one that would be appreciated by its target market. Hence, we have selected you to be part of our wonderful project. We are pleased to offer you a space here at Legazpi Terminal.
To date, two of our anchor tenants such as Save More and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) will be opening soon. Hence, this will immensely increase the foot traffic in the area. Likewise, other developments include Jollibee’s and Red Ribbon’s upcoming stores’ constructions.
And in our thrust to improve our Terminal’s image, we are also in active negotiations with a number of food and service-oriented shops complementing our tenant mix.
