Aseana City: Rising Microdistrict in Paranaque City

The Bay City has seen rapid developments over the years, as major developers have seen the potential of the area for residential, retail and commercial opportunities. One of them is Aseana City, a master-planned community in Metro Manila. Built by Aseana Holdings Inc.,, this township has seen a tremendous growth as business process outsourcing firms, commercial and retail spaces, residences and other institutions continue to emerge in this 204-hectare development.

Dubbed as the "Sunset Strip" because of its prestigious location facing Manila Bay, Aseana City is lined with specialty restaurants, national parks, museums, theatres, entertainment districts and hotels. It is also near the Entertainment City in PAGCOR, Philippines' very own Las Vegas.

Location

Aseana City is a short distance away from Manila, Makati and Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
