'''Arca South''' is a {{convert|74|ha|adj=on}} mixed-use estate owned by [[Ayala Land, Inc.]] located at East Service Road, Barangay [[Western Bicutan]], [[Taguig]].

It was formerly part of [[Food Terminal Inc.]] before being sold to Ayala Land.

== History ==
With the decline of FTI, established in 1974, there have been several attempts over multiple Philippines presidential administrations to sell off part of the property, including a public auction in 2009, but they all failed.<ref name="GMA2">{{cite news|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/267988/economy/companies/privatization-mgmt-office-moves-food-terminal-inc-bidding-to-aug-14|title=Privatization Mgmt Office moves Food Terminal Inc. bidding to Aug. 14|date=2 August 2012|newspaper=GMA News|access-date=13 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219045528/http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/267988/economy/companies/privatization-mgmt-office-moves-food-terminal-inc-bidding-to-aug-14|archive-date=19 December 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>

In November 2012, the Philippine government announced the sale of the {{convert|74|ha}} or {{percent|74|120|0}} of the {{convert|120|ha|adj=on}} property to [[Ayala Land, Inc.]] for {{Philippine peso|24.3&nbsp;billion|link=yes}}.<ref name="Inquirer2">{{cite news|url=http://business.inquirer.net/92698/ayala-buys-fti-for-p24-3b|title=Ayala buys FTI for P24.3B|last=Burgonio|first=TJ|date=13 November 2012|newspaper=The Philippine Inquirer|access-date=13 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121115023248/http://business.inquirer.net/92698/ayala-buys-fti-for-p24-3b|archive-date=15 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="GMA2" /> Ayala plans to turn the property into a [[mixed-use development]].<ref name="Inquirer2" /> Proceeds from the sale are pledged to the programs of the [[Department of Agriculture (Philippines)|Department of Agriculture]] and the [[Department of Agrarian Reform]].

In 2013, Ayala Land renamed their property into Arca South.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ayalalandrealestate.com/ali-food-terminal-inc-fti-now-arca-south/|title=ALI Food Terminal Inc (FTI) Now ARCA SOUTH! » Ayala Land Real EstateAyala Land Real Estate|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408231938/http://ayalalandrealestate.com/ali-food-terminal-inc-fti-now-arca-south/|archive-date=8 April 2014|url-status=dead|access-date=5 May 2013}}</ref> Current construction of the mall is estimated to be completed by 2027, ten years after its initial target date.
