Whether you are planning to go out with your loved ones or go shopping, here are some of the top and upcoming business district developments that you can visit in and beyond Metro Manila:

Bonifacio Global City

Developed during the early 2000’s, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has grown to be one of the most popular business districts in the country. This township development spans 240 hectares in the city of Taguig and is home to several local and multinational companies, retail malls, and residential buildings. It is known for its masterfully planned city design and road systems that make it appealing for visitors.

Multiple murals and art installations are everywhere as well – perfect for those who want to go sightseeing in the city. Shopping and dining choices are endless with an abundance of mall choices such as Uptown Mall, Mitsukoshi, SM Aura, Market Market, and One Bonifacio along the Fort Bonifacio Strip to name a few.

On top of this, world-class hotels such as Shangri-La, Ascott, Seda, and Grand Hyatt are some of your choices if you decide to have a staycation in the city.

Aseana City

Moving to the city of Parañaque close to the coast of Manila Bay, Aseana City is an expansive 107-hectare mixed-use central business district development. Aseana boasts a variety of malls, hotels, leisure establishments, and even office buildings, all easily accessible through roads such as Macapagal Boulevard, Roxas Boulevard, and Diokno Boulevard.

Recently, Aseana opened its newest mall – Parqal. This new shopping center stands out among all the other traditional malls in the area, offering visitors upscale shopping and dining choices and a unique mall experience with its wide-open area design and stunning greenery. Visitors don’t have to worry about rain or shine with the mall’s 300-meter canopy that allows people to pass through the outdoor space comfortably at any time of the day.

Nuvali

If you want a calmer and greener city scenery but still want to enjoy city shopping and leisure, Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna is the perfect place for you. Just like BGC, Nuvali has seen rapid growth and improvement through the years with more commercial establishments, offices, residential communities, and hotel and leisure facilities around the area.

Despite this, Nuvali still maintains its peaceful green scenery and open spaces. Aside from outlet shopping and dining, there are a lot of outdoor activities that could be done in the area such as cycling, koi feeding at the pond, and wildlife sightseeing.

Whether you want to simply stroll and shop, or enjoy outdoor activities, Nuvali is the place where you can do a variety of things with your family and friends.
