Bonifacio Global City (BGC), often dubbed the "Manhattan of Asia," stands as a testament to Manila's transformation from a war-torn landscape to a thriving urban center. Formerly a military camp known as Fort Bonifacio, BGC now boasts a modern skyline, integrating business, art, and science into everyday life. Its development, spearheaded by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) in the 1990s, repurposed former military lands into a mixed-use estate, attracting numerous corporations and establishing itself as a premier central business district.
BGC's unique master planning sets it apart, embracing a "Live, Work, Play" philosophy with wide boulevards, green spaces, and a focus on walkability. This approach fosters a vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere, enhanced by public art installations, cultural events, and flagship retail concepts. The district is home to iconic architectural landmarks, including some of the Philippines' tallest skyscrapers, and serves as an educational and healthcare hub with prestigious international schools and top medical facilities.
Today, BGC is a major economic driver, housing the Philippine Stock Exchange and boasting significant office and condo space. It continues to evolve, attracting global investment and expanding with projects like the BGC-Ortigas Link and a future SkyTrain monorail. This ongoing development, coupled with its blend of high-tech economy, wellness facilities, and pedestrian-oriented vibrancy, solidifies its reputation as a global magnet and a key player in the region's growth.
