Fort Bonifacio Islands PhilippinesBonifacio Global CityFort Andres Bonifacio is the national headquarters of the Philippine Army (AFP), Southern Police District and the marine base of Philippine Navy and Philippine Marine Corps located in Taguig City. It is located close to Col. Jesus A. Villamor Airbase, the national headquarters of the Philippine Air Force (PAF). The camp is named after Andres Bonifacio, the revolutionary leader of Katipunan during the Philippine revolutionary period against Spain. Bonifacio Global City (also Fort Bonifacio) is a highly urbanized district in Taguig City, Metro Manila, Philippines that in recent years, has experienced robust commercial growth through the sale of military land by the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA). The entire district used to be the part of the main Philippine Army camp in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.
In 1995, Bonifacio Land Development Corporation (BLDC) started planning a major urban development — Bonifacio Global City. BLDC made a successful bid to become BCDA's partner in the development of the district. The Ayala Corporation through Ayala Land, Inc., and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased a controlling stake in BLDC from Metro Pacific in 2003. BCDA and the two companies now control Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, which oversees the master planning of Bonifacio Global City. The welcome combination of corporate offices, high-end residences and shopping malls, embassies, a world-class hospital, a science museum and a landscape strewn with Filipino art is the city's heart and soul. Right at the center of BGC will rise High Street South Bonifacio. Spanning three city center blocks, bounded by major streets on all sides (Bonifacio High Street to the North, 26th Street to the South, 5th Avenue to the West and 11th Avenue to the East), Bonifacio High Street South will be a prominent district within BGC. With a rare opportunity to create a development of such scale and prominence, Alveo Land has set out an ambitious vision for the development, taking the best elements from the most prominent first world cities across the globe. |
