 “What I learned from the BGC is the
importance of the Grid system in urban
planning. It provides an easy access in
each places that makes every area

What I learned from BGC? ‘walkable’. And also the centralized

parking area in which I believed, the
reason why BGC is traffic-free.”

 STRATEGIC LOCATION
Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is conveniently located
in the progressive city of Taguig, between the business
hubs of Makati and Ortigas Center. Because of its
proximity to the Makati Central Business District, BGC
is touted to be a natural extension of the Makati
Central Business District.

BGC is surrounded by the adjacent cities of Pasig to

the Northeast across C5 Highway, Makati to the West
and Northwest, and Pasay to the Southwest and
Parañaque to the South across South Super Highway.
The city is directly linked to Manila’s two main
thoroughfares — EDSA and C5 Highways – and is
accessible via seven access points: The Kalayaan
Avenue from the North, the Kalayaan Flyover via EDSA
and Makati McKinley Road from the West, the three
gates from C5 Highway from the East, and via the
airport through Villamor Airbase from the South.

In addition, its proximity to the South Luzon

Expressway brings the industrial zones of Muntinlupa,
Canlubang, and Laguna makes it an ideal location.
Residential subdivisions in Makati and Alabang are also
within easy reach. 8
 EASY AIRPORT ACCESS
Serving as Manila’s gateway to the world, Bonifacio
Global City (BGC) is easily linked to other major
business centers in the country, as it is located close to
the Manila domestic and international airports.

However, despite its proximity to the airport, BGC

does not directly lie under the airplane flight path and
is not subject to heavy noise exposure.

ZONES
Encouraging balance between work and life,
the well-planned zoning masterplan of Bonifacio
Global City (BGC) puts equal emphasis on
business, commercial, civic, culture and family
activities. Every area is designed to enhance the
quality of life.

With the ingenious re-design of the City

Center, each piece of property in its four zones
faces either a main thoroughfare or open
greenery. A network of retail promenades,
paseos and plazas will form an integral part in 9
BGS’s physical core.
 SUPERIOR MASTER PLAN
The new masterplan of the city center Bonifacio Global
City (BGC) was designed by Ayala Land planners and top
US-based consultants. The 240-hectare gross land area is
composed of 88% mixed-use, with 34% devoted to open
spaces.

BGC is a dynamic and self-contained pedestrian-friendly

city. A fine-grained network of pedestrian ways that
connect to transit and parking are made available.
The city’s grid design provides ease in navigation and
uncomplicated access to residential, commercial, and
business centers. The 3×3 grid system provides efficient
traffic and easily understandable circulation and access to
individual properties and to public parking from all points
of entry to BGC.

Every area in BGC is designed to enhance the quality of

life while providing a relaxed environment at the same
time. Each piece of property in BGC is a prime lot that
faces either a main thoroughfare or open greenery.
Landscaped parks provide refreshing air while featuring
world-renowned local art on display, bringing a sense of
culture and style. Water pipes, communication cables,
electricity lines, and LPG gas lines all remain underground
to preserve the landscape and view. 10
 DENSITY-CONTROLLED
DEVELOPMENT

Protecting the value and attractiveness of

Bonifacio Global City is the Design Standards
and Guidelines (DSG) and Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR).
They are also used to standardize the
developments within the city.

Density is controlled to support a well-

planned community and ensure that utilities
are adequate to service the developments. The
measure of density used is the Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) (see illustration on the right).

FARs range from 6 to 18. However, retail

components are allowed only up to a maximum
of FAR 3 for Mixed-Use lots, while buildings
with residential components must have a
minimum of FAR 4.
11
 GRID OF STREETS & BLOCKS
Grid of streets and blocks that allow efficient
circulation. 3×3 grid system provides efficient traffic
and easily understandable circulation and access to
individual properties and to public parking from all
points of entry to BGC.

PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY
A fine-grained network of pedestrian ways that
connect to transit and parking, the pedestrian-
friendly design is based on efficient and easily
understandable circulation and access to individual
properties and to public parking from all points of
entry to Bonifacio Global City.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Managed by Bonifacio Transport Corporation, the
multimodal public transport system connects Bonifacio
Global City to the Metro Rail Transit and other
commercial and business districts. With transit stops in
strategic points around Bonifacio Global City, residents
and visitors can never run out of places to go in BGC. 12
 LANDSCAPING
The landscaping of Bonifacio Global City is the
product of careful planning and the latest technology.

The latest technology and modern city planning

bring five-star comforts and conveniences closer to
home, proof that the future has indeed arrived here.
Its contemporary high-rise office and residential
buildings, new retail outlets, pedestrian-friendly
roads and walkways speak of a dynamic, spirited
lifestyle.

Not wanting to build a typical concrete-and-steel

real estate jungle, the Fort Bonifacio Development
Corporation developed a cosmopolis with greenery,
trees and parks, true to its vision of a space where
people can enjoy both work and play. The open
spaces and clean environs enable residents and
tenants to go about their activities without worrying
about pollution.

The design concept is based on landscaped areas

around which mixed-use neighborhoods will emerge,
and everywhere one turns, the view of the city 13
exudes vibrancy and life.
