Bonifacio High Street sprawls further

FBDC management on the Topping Off ceremony of the new buildings in Bonifacio High Street Central

Bonifacio High Street (BHS), the sprawling retail and office promenade in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is presently building new blocks of commercial and office space, identified as BHS Central.

Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), developer and management company of BGC, completed the main structure of two of the four new buildings.

FBDC and Ayala Land president Antonino Aquino said: “With BHS Central, we will impress the synergy of elements of a refined commercial space for both avant-garde and most-sought retail outlets, well-appointed office spaces, state-of-the-art cinema houses, and dining experience all within a picturesque greenery and open park.”

During the topping off ceremony, Manuel Blas, FBDC’s head of Commercial Operations, disclosed that the two buildings are a 6-storey complex with four floors of creative office suites and two floors of retail space; and another building that would house dining outlets created exclusively for BHS Central.

Office and retail locators will have a view of the central park which will be twice the width of the present BHS’ central garden. Main attraction will be the interactive water plaza which will showcase the features of a play fountain, fog fountain and water curtain cascades. Moreover, this plaza may be converted into an amphitheater stage for special events.

The park will likewise have garden islands, pavilions, and BGC’s signature landscape centerpiece – some public art installation. Aquino said, “BHS Central puts forth the very best that we have to offer.” “It is part of the unique urban progression taking place in BGC, specifically the continuous building and upkeep of magnificent modern venues for home, work and recreation; and the promotion of a practical and leisurely pedestrian experience,” Aquino added.

@CPRdude: I dont know if it's gonna be a car park area, but I hope not. We have too much parking na surrounding BHS Central-Zone. There's One Parklane and Two Parklane. Then yung surface parking pa sandwiched between BHS-Central and F1. Plus the Fort Strip parking area pa. Sana they maintain the car parking outside the perimeter of that block and put something else that people would enjoy to see or visit.

How Ayala Land is upping the ante
By: Marge C. Enriquez
Philippine Daily Inquirer
2:29 am | Sunday, August 28th, 2011

Excerpt:

In the pipeline are:

Baguio-Ayala Land Technohub. Located in Camp John Hay, it is designed for BPO offices and retail clusters that are partly inspired by the architecture of the old American homes there. It provides the convenience of a neighborhood shopping center and hangout.

Centrio, Cagayan de Oro. Also a joint venture between ALI and Anflo Group, it will be 1.) a regional shopping center that carries a host of mainstream and local brands and dining concepts, coupled with 2.) a boutique hotel and 3.) Avida Centrio, a self-contained residential community.

Iloilo-Ayalaland TechnoHub. In Mandurriao, Iloilo City, on the rise are two BPO buildings, a technopod (an office space for IT and BPO’s with 24/7 facilities) infused with dining and nightlife.

Ayala North Point Community Center. This cosmopolitan hub will rise next year close to the tony North Point Village, offering the best in local and imported retail concepts and a park.

Harbor Point. As another regional center that will rise in Subic Bay Freeport Zone, it will be heavy in office and retail in a soothing environment, replete with specialty stores and active and wellness-oriented stores.

These developments are not seen as mere malls but as cities or town centers. People want to gravitate there because it’s a classy but hip urban environment. Prospective buyers might find the developments attractive because these offer more protected versions of city living.

“We have to provide a total environment for the BPOs. They are our customers. Once agents like a particular place, the BPO will be successful. That’s why we put up affordable residential units and retail so they can live, work and play. In BPOs, good hotels are required by visiting principals aside from homes for the managers and agents. We are focusing on CBD developments and ensure that there are required amenities. Some people will live off-CBD. We have to make some provisions,” explains Aquino.

That’s when Amaia Scapes comes into the picture. These subdivisions will provide homes of good-quality materials and finishes.

ALI will launch Amaia in Pampanga, Cavite and Batangas.

“The Amaia brand is about economic housing or house-and-lot packages ranging from a P600,000 duplex to a P1.2 million two-story house with carport. It’s aspirational and not cramped,” says Aquino.

Strategy

Despite the rise of new hubs, ALI takes great care to improve its developments.

“We continue to be present even beyond the initial development and keep putting in place all the best practices we’ve done,” says Aquino.

For instance, by 2012, Alabang Town Center will have another building that will add 70 stores and Metro Gaisano. In the next three years, Bonifacio High Street will see the rise of a food strip, the Mind Museum, luxury shopping destination, Kukun hotel, Avida residential towers, more parks and a football field.
Aquino attributes the aggressive developments to the flourishing economy which covers the sunrise industries of BPOs and tourism. With the demand for stylish yet affordable hotels for business travelers, ALI is building Kukun hotel, designed by architect Conrad Onglao, in Bonifacio Global City, Davao and Cagayan de Oro, and will soon launch in Nuvali and Alabang.

On how ALI positions itself vis-a-vis other developers that have more malls and are also bullish about hotel and real estate, Aquino explains, “Our strategy is not too much as to what the competition is doing but what we see as the major drivers of the economy. We would like to position on those major drivers and we will put in places where it is needed.”

ALI recently partnered with El Nido Resorts in Palawan. “To complete as new product initiatives, we bought into the hotel chain. We’re expanding our El Nido chain by putting up Pangalusian and Apulit,” says Aquino.

Ultimately, development is not about adding square meters of salable space. “You have to look for that added dimension. What are the elements that can help in improving our lack as a people and in economic development? Construction is one of the best things that can happen in giving jobs. It helps people who don’t have sophisticated skills. It addresses unemployment. Aside from quality of life, we try to make sure our customers and people who frequent our developments can experience what we do to contribute to the growth of the country.”

Nope, that's not it.

That's the 6-storey office-retail building with 4-levels of offices atop 2-levels of retail/dining.

The 4-level offices are under the AyalaLand Businesscapes Group.
It will have 8,800sq.m. of gross leasable area for BPO locators.

Mukha yatang walang masyadong contact ang Ayala Land RBG sa ABG ah:?

Hanap ka new friends sa Businesscapes group para may kukuhaan ka ng info, tanong mo kung sinong tenant na nag-sign-up for spaces. :D
Or actually, sa Ayala Malls Group ka na lang hanap ng bagong kaibigan kasi mas malaki hawak ng Ayala Malls Group dito with 19,000sq.m. of retail space, mas useful info galing sa kanila, go na Mr. Congeniality! :lol:

@poker.face - yes that is One Parklane

so this is the view from the high street south condominium :bash::nuts:

Of course it's not finished yet but the structure will be clad (by definition, cladding doesn't always have to mean aluminium composite sheets) for aesthetic purposes, effectively hiding unsightly structural elements.

By the way, that shot appears to be taken from the vantage point of East Superblock, with 7th Avenue on the foreground, and Lane O on the left.

@august88: they will build football field nearer home depot.

Oh, exactly just what my hunch told me! Please confirm before I point it out on the map just to be sure I got it right, it is bounded by 11th Drive on the north, Lane T on the south, 11th Avenue on the east, and Lane C on the west.

Rustan's subsidary SSI leased one of the three buildings in Bonifacio Highstreet Central

According to some sources SSI leased the building after ayala scrapped the departmentstore building where Rustan's should be located. The building will be like Greenbelt 4 it will house different brands under Rustan's group like Gucci, Prada, Salvatore Ferregamo, Bvlgari and many more. But the biggest news according to sources is the second store of Louis Vuitton will be located in the same building and it will be officially announced at the reopening of Louis Vuitton store in Greenbelt 4 on October 15.:banana::banana:

Cool!!! As we are quite a resilient market, I hope the new boutique looks like any of the following:

In addition to the soccer pitch, there will be a basketball/volleyball court adjacent or next to it.

these are open to the public.

There will also be a kanin club and i think a sumo sam coming up before the end of the year at next to starbucks home depot. that general area is being developed as the more affordable section of bgc, hence the purposing of the structures being built there. avida for example is geared towards the more affordable section of the market.

I think the city-planning is quite good. that area can be considered walking distance to kalayaan and thus to the jeepney based transport going to edsa-guadalupe.

According to some sources Rustans is talking to SM to put up a high end dept. store in sm aura but they dont know wether it will be branded as rustan's or in different name. Rustan's decided to put up a high end Dept. store in SM aura after ayala scrapped the Proposed Rustan's Dept. store in Bonifacio High Street central.
Why did ayala axed rustan's? Does this mean they now booked a new Dept Store operator? if so could it be a new multinational brand in phil shores?

Mc Donald's

According to my sister resto in the fort strip will transfer in BHS Central Building that will be dedicated for Food outlet only. While Mc donald's will be put in the the lower ground floor of the 6 story building. The local brands will be inside of the two story air conditioned mall they will be in the second level while the high end shops especially the rustan's brands will be in ground floor. The Zara store will be in ground floor of the 6 story building. the 4th building is still on planing stages after ayala change it from high end Dept. Store to a Cinema. According to my sister Ayala decided to put local brands and some international brands not under SSI instead of leasing the whole Two story building to SSI of rustan's to make BHS more competetive to the upcoming SM aura that expected To have Forever 21 and Uniqlo

been here sunday evening, its already open to the public though only 1 shop is open for business... a fruity juice shop methinks (not a fan of drink stores but that one is swelling with people). i asked the guard when was it opened he said last friday.

anyway, i dunno why they opened it already. area is still dark with no lights (not even a light post erected). even the flooring is still plain cement. of course fountain is not yet operational and only 1 shop operating. but nonetheless, a great extension of high street. area is huge with generous open spaces. wish they'll have some sort of Concert at the (Paco?) Park perform there (classical music). that would be very appropriate with the environment :)

I went to the Jamba Juice stall. It's still uncomfortable to hang out at the area due to the ongoing drilling (sakit sa tenga!) and the dust. I'm expecting more shops to open before Christmas. And hopefully we'll witness a nice Christmas concert at the Amphitheater. ;-)

they have widened the road on that side of 5th avenue.
fence is gone and the trees have been 'relocated.'
the vacant lot on the left corner (green in the render below) is now fenced, wonder what's to be built there, it's too small for a cinema. could be the staging area for that corner building along 5th av.

^^ Just wondering if there is any noticeable difference in the East Super Block complex from 1 month ago?
Curious to know if more businesses have opened shop. Pics/updates are very much appreciated. Thank You! :)

Got intrigued with the pic below. Showed people eating and hanging out already but no idea what establishments have opened shop.

Thanks for the update. Wow Nice! Food and place looks good! :okay: :okay:

Guys, a new section of High Street was opened. Last night, we tried the ARIA Italian Restaurant and this desert house - The Cake Club. It is across the Seventh High.
