@Sinjin P.

sir san po ito exactly?ang alam ko na 21 hectares to be develop by ALI is the old Sta. Ana Racetrack..just my wild guess..

this is another exciting development for the Country's Financial District..

this is exciting. hope they'd build really nice-looking office towers in the area.

wow! great news!

I have a suspicion that this is going to be Ayala's development in the Sta. Ana Racetracks :)

Are they going to build a little city there? I might be very tempted to jump on that one. I missed out on Nuvali.

Very interesting... i look forward to more details on this. :cheers:

Actually on Alveo's site it says look for Santa Ana condominiums.

http://www.alveoland.yolasite.com/news--updates.php

Oh, this is the project for the former Sta. Ana racetrack.

Looks like developers are trying to outdo each other releasing renderings that depict a canal, some with gondolas and gondoliers like that of McKinley Hill Taguig Venetian Mall and Festival Supermall's expansion.

To date, none of those renderings featuring a canal have come to fruition. :D We'll wait.

sana maging new rockwell

I hope they sell lots like Nuvali.

This is it! Great, great news!!! It's worth the long wait.

Hope they next develop the former Colgate Palmolive site, but I'd prefer it to be a top notch school campus.

I am also glad. That area of Makati is under developed. Cheers to that.

yah i agree..dapat madevelop na rin ang Colgate-Palmolive site..sayang yung lot na yun eh..ako naman sana i-develop nila yun for more office spaces..because I think we have plenty of spaces for residential booming almost in every part of Makati..BGC is piling up with a lot of office spaces, residential among others so Makati has to sustain the demands of office hubs..

yeah, it is santa ana race track, sm santa ana had backed out on that said land, ayala has the number 1 priority back on 2010 for the sale/lease agreement

Are they going to build a little city there? I might be very tempted to jump on that one. I missed out on Nuvali.

Had a look at Nuvali, cant see the attraction at all ?

Feed the fish and go to starbucks....

I agree with you!

They say it's going to be the next Makati. I don't get that. Are they saying a bunch of corporations are going to just leave Makati and move south? Not likely!

But the prices have appreciated in Nuvali big time. So they must be doing something right.

Plus, I want to own land in Makati that's why I want them to sell lots. :)

maglagay sila ng monorail to makati ave then to ayala ave kong gusto nilang maging new makati, puro jeep guadalupe-bukid at one way pa. papuntang bukid lang yung dumadaan ang pabalik medyo malayo na

Or underground trains to preserve the landscaping on the islands. Love the canal plus bridge and walkways.

Guys, Nuvali is just about 5 years old. At least in such a short span of time, they already have Solenad, the man-made lake, ecoliving center, evozone, some existing residential villages plus others that are fast being developed, and of course you can feed the fishes too. And just outside of Nuvali, there are already existing villages and industrial parks that will be able to sustain economic activities there.

You dont believe that businessmen will move south? Well we wont know for sure. But it did happen once upon a time in Makati. And it could happen again. And from the looks of it, as of this moment, it is somewhat already happening. Starbucks is already there right? hehe..

A brief history of Makati here, particularly the CBD. THis used to be an airport, i think you all know by now, right? And mostly swamplands around it. Then in the 1940s they started developing it, with Forbes Park leading the pack. At that time, people didnt believe that Makati could attract Manilans to relocate there. but about a decade later, Makati started attracting some of the more prominent Manila businessmen to set up their residences there, Ayala set up their offices there, San Lorenzo and Bel Air villages were developed, small industries started to trickle in in the late 50s then more commercial establishments followed. and finally it became a financial center in the 70s, or about 30 years after it was conceived.

Rome wasnt built in a day. Makati wasnt either. And definitely Nuvali wont be too.

But then again, i dont think you can compare this area with Nuvali. Nuvali is a huge development. This would be more comparable to San Lazaro. Both of them were once racetracks. Both of them are from the seedier side of town. Yes Nelly, i hope they sell lots or at least townhouses like what they did in San Lazaro. That would be nice. By the way, a lot of people didnt believe too that they would be able to do it in San Lazaro. An exclusive development (Celadon) near Blumentritt? Along the railroad tracks teeming with squatters at the time? But they did it. Celadon was a hot seller. But admittedly with the help of SM though..

Thanks Derf. I was going to ask about the whole Nuvali thing. I'm not Filipino and I only went there for the first time just under 3 years ago so I'm still learning about certain things. I pick things up fast though. :)

I am still having a hard time seeing how the corporations will move there. There is still BGC and Ortigas to contend with. I figure most corporations are moving to BGC if anywhere.

When I see Nuvali I see a suburbs type area not a business district. It's like paradise. It won't be in 30 years if it turns into Makati though with the traffic, noise, pollution and squatters.

The problem with these kinds of developments are accessibility and road infrastructure. The size of this new project is perfect but then again, i'd say this location is even worse than the Century City property w/c lacks space for road expansion to cover the increase in vehicular volume/traffic. But at least, the latter is still within a good walking distance to the CBD while this Sta. Ana project only has to contend with the very narrow Pasong Tamo and JP Rizal entry and exit points to and fro the CBD and other areas. :ohno::ohno:

But still, this project is something to watch out for.:)

Why is it called makati west? On the map it is the northern part of makati. Hehehe.

^^ Exactly! It's so not west and not even north-west but totally, absolutely, north of Makati.

I'm thinking the name "West" sounds better than north. Something like "West Tower" as compared to north tower, or "The West Wing" that seems to be classier than "The North Wing".

but there are just so many options out there and businessmen wont just single-mindedly move to nuvali. you have cebu, davao, bacolod, iloilo...and you Quezon City CBD, Manila, Pque Bay Area, Alabang...
You have to fill up those places first before you consider nuvali. it will stay like a technopark for a long long long long long long long time. imho.

kaya nga self contained community like rockwell....no need to drive to other places

Or maybe more like a "west" type of living in Makati lol.

Rapid transit system on Ayala in Makati proposed
Business Mirror
http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/home/top-news/17079-rapid-transit-system-on-ayala-in-makati-proposed

A REAL-ESTATE association partly run by property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) for a bus rapid transit system that will operate along Ayala Avenue in Makati City.

Anna Bautista-Dy, ALI vice president of the strategic Landbank Management Group, said the build-operate-transfer proposal submitted by the Makati Commercial Estate Association (Macea), could cost P1 billion. ALI is a “minority” stakeholder of Macea.

“The bus rapid transit system is one of the things we feel can really transform the city. We all know it is important but it needs to be done in a more streamlined manner,” Dy told reporters on Monday. She said Macea is still waiting for a response from the DOTC.

She said Macea will operate the system, which would run “end to end” within the central building district.

The new transit system aims to ease traffic along Ayala Avenue, a main thoroughfare in the country’s financial district.

The Ayala Avenue stretch will be exclusively serviced by the rapid-transit buses. It will be closed to other buses and jeepneys but open to private vehicles.

ALI is also developing the former Santa Ana Racetrack in Makati City into an “entertainment district,” parts of which will be ready for launch by 2012, Dy said.

“We would like more live performances. It will be a more outdoor-oriented development,” Dy said, referring to plans for the 21-hectare property.

She said ALI has not yet decided whether the development will have a gaming component.

what they will do about the buses plying ayala avenue? a new rapid system will not ease but it will add the traffic, they have a plan before of brt but they scrap the project, now they want another for what? to connect their new idle development from ayala cbd? they want the government for? ayala company is evil enough for doing several projects even the expense of poor children and unfortunate people, if they are optimistic for the development, they must do what they want to do as a private entity not using people and government officials especially PNOY and company for their own benefits

It's great that there are developments like these in the other parts of Makati pero sana nagiisip rin sila na palawakin or gumawa ng daan to get access to these areas.

True. Right now, i can only think of J.P. Rizal as the primary route going there.

no, it is south avenue is straight from ayala ave, a monorail line was the best choice for connecting sta ana to ayala

Just out of curiousity what is the area surrounding Santa Ana like? Is it nice? Or kind of run down?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I've never been to that part of Makati. I'm always around Greenbelt. As a foreigner I'm obsessed with Greenbelt actually. Lol

you never know...it might be gentrified....before....it was squatters with farrier's houses.....it was like a vomit of makati

that part of makati, as far as i can recall, has wide roads from jp rizal avenue leading to the sta. ana race track. that place is potential business and entertainment district; its closest neighbors are manila and mandaluyong. the area doesn't get flooded.

that's correct..if i may add..the hippodromo st. and fortuna st. from its neighboor barangay olympia has an opportunity for the roads to be widen up..since the wall beside it on the other side is sta. ana racetrack itself..this will be nice for the future endeavors to pass by this area with ease

plus looking at the google map..at the end of south ave. / binakod st. when it reaches the brgy. olympia area the police or barangay outpost can be demolished to pave way to go straight to the future "entertainment district" of Makati..sounds like a nice BRT system for this section of the city where the Makati CBD and Sta. Ana Racetrack a.k.a Entertainment District to be connected to..

Any news on what's going to be built on the colgate palmolive site?

Fortuna St. is not adjacent to the perimeter fence of Sta. Ana Racetrack as there is a row of private lots between Fortuna st. and Sta. Ana Racetrack, all of which have houses built on them, one of which also houses the Brgy. Olympia Hall so there's no opportunity for that road to expand. But Ayala can probably purchase one or two lots so they can build a gate for access to the property from Fortuna st. and maybe build a road parallel to it too inside their property.

sana man lang mag develop sila ng SUPERTALL BUILDING project like sa moscow,shanghai and new york

Good catch. Was he banned from the forum?

Back to the topic. I am pretty sure the Ayala's would want to maximize the land and build as much as they can. Pero sana nga may horizontal development ala ayala alabang. That would be sweet! Magkano kaya yan if ever?

^^ your slip is showing makatiprime/r... lol

Busted! :lol:

ganyan talaga ang negosyo.

They should develop the street going there first (Pasong Tamo everyone?), buy those run-down cabarets beside it and then start development, don't just build Condos, townships etc. w/o even considering the traffic and the environment of the future residents, tenants, workers first. The same as what is happening to Kalayaan, it's only a one-way road yet the've jampacked the CPI dev. and Picar dev., I mean, what about the traffic? The bottleneck? IMO.

sana man lang mag develop sila ng SUPERTALL BUILDING project like sa moscow,shanghai and new york

Supertall skyscraper? Moscow shanghai and new york? How bout Dubai? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

^^
it's just a matter of how cheap the developers are. Taipei 101 was financed by forward seeing tycoons who spent alot of money to build a supertall that is as what you've said, able to stand eartquakes wind and stuff... However, as you can look around, most developers here in the country value their profit margin more than safety, design, even height. That's why painted concrete is the norm and panelling and glass curtain walls are the exceptions. :)

ALI to start work on Sta. Ana racetrack in Q3


AYALA LAND, Inc. (ALI) plans to begin construction on an entertainment complex at the site of Sta. Ana racetrack in Makati City by the third quarter in a bid to complete work by 2013, an official said last week.

“We are on track for the Sta. Ana project and we will start on it this year, hopefully by the third quarter. It’s a mixed-use development, but we are positioning it to be a new entertainment district for Makati,” Anna Bautista-Dy, vice-president for strategic land bank management, told BusinessWorld in a chance interview.

Ayala Land had previously inked a joint-venture agreement with horse racing operator Philippine Racing Club, Inc. last year to develop the latter’s 21-hectare property.

The Sta. Ana Racetrack was once used for horse racing events beginning in the 1930s until 2009, when the Philippine Racing Club transferred to a new 65-hectare racecourse in Naic, Cavite, according to the Philippine Racing Club’s Web site.

While declining to divulge details, Ms. Bautista-Dy said that the Sta. Ana project will be slightly more upscale than Ayala Land’s current Bonifacio High Street retail development in Taguig City.

“It will be like a cultural district... It will really be focused on entertainment,” Ms. Bautista-Dy said, noting that target tenants include those involved in music and the performing arts.

Ayala Land has allotted a record P37 billion in capital expenditures this year to fund new projects, as well as for the acquisition of new properties.

The company hiked its net income for 2011 to a record P7.14 billion versus P5.46 billion it generated in 2010.

Ayala Land shares fell by 1.67% to P20.65 yesterday from P21.00 at its previous close. -- Franz Jonathan G. de la Fuente

So it will be an entertainment complex and more upscale than BHS.

Actually, around May in time for Flores De Mayo, sinasara yang JP Rizal ng mga baranggays para magfiesta. Meron stage for gay shows, tapos me pa-basketbol sa kalye saka rakrakan.

I hope Ayala will also build a theme park and stadium/arena in this entertainment complex.

will Ayala open their own version of SM Arena??

An Arena by Ayala sounds nice. Para we have one up north (Araneta), One down south (MOA arena) and something from Ayala in the middle :D

Good project.. though I would be happier if this area would be utilized as a world class sports complex with a stadium with high-capacity seating than a McKinley-type of development.

This would be a nice complement to the rockwell and acqua developments, too bad the pasig ferry got busted again

COA seeks revival of Pasig River ferry service

By Michael Punongbayan The Philippine Star Updated September 26, 2012 12:00 AM 0 comment to this post


Zoom

MANILA, Philippines - The Commission on Audit (COA) called on the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) to revive its Pasig River Ferry Service project, which ceased to operate in January last year.

State auditors said not doing so would put to waste a P181-million loan from the Asian Development Bank, which was used to construct 10 ferry stations.

The 2011 COA report, released yesterday, stated that the boat stations remained idle after the Pasig River Ferry Service ceased its operation. As a result, state auditors said “the government is paying foreign loan for a project whose main objective of decongesting road traffic in Metro Manila was not attained.”

The project’s terms of reference provide that the ferry service’s main goal is to tap the river as an alternative transport corridor to decongest roads in Metro Manila, and ferry stations were built to achieve this objective.

State auditors said the Department of Transportation and Communications, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, and the PRRC were the government agencies primarily involved in the project.

The audit team noted that based on a memorandum of agreement, the PRRC shall own, operate and maintain the ferry or boat stations until they are turned over to an appropriate government agency or private sector operator.

In its 2010 audit report, COA said the ferry service incurred a total loss of P94 million since it started operating in March 2007 until December 2010. State auditors attributed the loss to the decrease in passengers, caused by boat operator SCC Nautical Transport Services Inc.’s failure to provide 18 50-seater vessels.

The operator “instead provided the six 150-seater (vessels), which decreased the frequency of trips. It thus increased the number of waiting hours for the passengers,” the COA said.

The boat operator notified PRRC in a Dec. 30, 2010 letter that it will suspend the ferry service due to low “ridership turnout” and increasing fuel cost. Among the reasons the operator cited for the low turnout was the uncompleted Rosario, Maybunga, Kapasigan and River Banks stations.

However, the COA’s 2010 audit report stated that these stations had been constructed but were not utilized because some areas along the river were not navigable.

“We recommended that management open the ferry service to competitive bidding and adhere to the requirement of 18 50-passenger vessels,” which could navigate the river better compared to the bigger vessels, the state auditors said in their 2011 report.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it can be told..

Why isn't the DOTC doing anything about this? This was an excellent alternative East-West route . Another project initiated by the previous administration that was closed down by the Noynoying government without offering solutions to the pitiful transportation infrastructure in Metro Manila . Such a waste of money building all those ferry stations.

kinuripot e as usual instead of 18 vessels naging 4.

siguro dapat na itong i rename as "EON Circuit Sta. Ana"

Wow

to be more accessible, dapat matuloy ang project na ito. :|

In January the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced an ambitious plan to build a skybridge parallel to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), as an alternative route between Quezon City and Makati.

If built, the elevated six-lane highway will begin at E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Quezon City, cross Pasig River tributaries on its way through Sta. Mesa and Mandaluyong, and end at J.P. Rizal Street in Makati.

In fairness mukang matitino naman yung mga bahay. hindi siya squatter... they're colorful!

ganda ng mga bahay :)

I did my internship there for equine medicine.....and the place is a ghetto...horse stable with foreman, with 10-15 kids, feces everywhere.....seriously......I hope they went away with the racetrack but probably not....I hope they demolish all the neighboring stables into developments, but squatters are hard to get rid off

naalala tuloy ung tatay ko palaging nangangarera. :D

any updates on this township? it's exciting that new townships are sprouting all over the metro....some, like rockwell and eastwood are even expanding cause they have fully developed their lands

Road signs have been put up leading to the development saying "Circuit Makati". Is this the official name? No more EON and Sta. Ana? The same name is posted at the entrance of the complex as well as on the wall (yero for construction - what do you call this?).

They've put up a giant Christmas tree beside the Events center (with the large Circuit Makati" words) and it lights up beautifully every night since 2 weeks ago, I think. I heard the events center will be first used for a Christmas party. The entire thing looks like the grounds of Quirino Grand Stand and from afar, it looks like a giant stadium (Ultra) with bright lights forming a circle.

Christmas decors have been put up along South Ave. and Pasong Tamo from JP Rizal to the west side gate of the development. Obviously, the local government is a partner of the entire Make It Makati campaign (which is just a shameless Ayala Land marketing campaign unless they include the other districts - Rockwell Center and Century City)

Good luck clearing South Ave. They have already removed obstacles and renovated a part of South Ave. near the development. Road signages have been put up along the entire stretch of South Ave.

Looks like Ayala is having their hands full with so many big ticket projects in Metro Manila alone... BGC, Ortigas, Taguig, Muntinlupa, ACC Makati and this one in the former Sta. Ana racetrace still in Makati.. :cheers:

I hope they revive the Sta Ana Racetrack tapos gawing national sport ang horse racing naibobroadcast ng live sa tv tapos pwede ka magbet.

They also have projects in Manila, Quezon City, Pasay and Mandaluyong.

I'm excited with the theme park and ski-lifts.

I hope Ayala buys Escolta and make it "sosyal" again... Wala kasing sosyal na lugar sa Manila :lol:

Kahit mukhang basura ang Escolta, the property prices are actually high. Escolta is owned by private individuals in small bits and pieces so I'm guessing sumuko na rin ang property developers sa area na yan :lol: Lucky Chinatown is an exception since it used to be a school.

nice updates ^^

is there a render of the final eon circuit?

bakit may higanteng arch sa development

Sana gawing F1 racing circuit na lang yan. Kasya ba?

is there a render of the final eon circuit?

There may be renders but where in the world could there be a "final" one for this? It's just too early.

Could that arch be some sort of covered space for performances or some kind of a stage?

There is already a scale model of EON presented to Mancom last week of November. But still subject to change.

The "arch" was recently used by ALI and its subs for their respective Xmas Parties ( ala the Fort Tent)

This will probably be Makati's equivalent of Eastwood City. Still, I believe they should have turned this property into something else like a sports complex or a country club. With all the new developments such as Vertis North, BGC and the Bayshore Complex medyo oversaturated na tayo sa retail complex.

F1 race track na langggggg and everything about cars

isa nanamang mall, condo, mall, condo = ano pa bang meron? kakasawa :)) magtayo naman sila ng ibang pwedeng pagtripan sa makati, yung may 'cultural sense' naman. okthnxbye.

Imbes na Circuit, Circus na lang

kulang ba sa convention center ang makati?

siguro an ibig sabihin niya is walang major major iconic convention center ang makati.

We are not sure that the City of Manila is willing to sell this to Makati at the drop of a hat

Nobody wants to buy a former cemetery. Even the most non religious businessmen will think twice of developing of leasing property built over hundreds of dead bodies. :) A former Funenaria was offered to sale for us before for a really cheap price located in prime property but we didn't hesitate to reject the offer. Nahihirapan yung mayari ibenta at alam ko hanggang ngayon barren building pa rin siya. What more pag cemetery.

I hope they bring back Makati Supermarket in this development. Kulang sa supermarket ang Makati CBD.

Makati Supermarket used to have a 20 year lease agreement with Ayala Malls

But we all know what happened a few years back

e di gawin na lang Makati City Park....bigger than the ayala triangle

at a right price siguro

Taguig already has its own SMX Taguig. Ayala should put a convention center in Circuit Sta Ana.

In Singapore, one parcel of land at Bukit Brown is a former cemetery which is now developing as residential blocks.

So it is highly possible for Makati as well. Cemeteries are already so out of place in that area. But I hope not into residential or commercial area, perhaps a convention center or yeah, a Park!

I hope we'll see more spaces for a Weekend Day Market similar to Mercado Centrale in the coming years. It's little things like these where there's always something new every few weeks that gives life to a city. Instead of hosting events inside malls, organizers will now have an alternative.

Makati has to forego with the idea of building a purely concrete CBD already since BGC will take a big share in the future. The city has to go hybrid with a right mix of corporate and leisure venues like BGC.

Makati used to have a theater and several parks in the 50s, 60s and 70s. These were later turned into commercial and retail offices. It's nice to see that these vital elements of a vibrant city are being brought back.

Mahirap ata iyan dito kasi mas religious at superstitious ang mga Pilipino. Singapore has no choice given their limited land space, so they're forced to develop even former cemeteries. Dito may available lots pa naman to develop, last resort na siguro iyang cemetery pag ubos na ang BGC.

Americans did this in NYC - Washington Park. If ever, they must not just leave the remains there. They must transfer the bones, etc. to somewhere else, such that no remains would remain at the cemetery. Anyway, did you know that parts of San Juan, QC, etc. especially the hilly parts where once hiding places of Manilans who ran away from the invading Japs? The Japs then bombarded those hills making them virtual cemeteries. Look at them today, full of villages, mansions and high rises.

http://http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/01/09/13/makati-have-football-field-skate-park-year

MANILA, Philippines -- Expect to see a football field at the heart of Makati's vibrant shopping and business districts before this year ends.

The new area is part of the entertainment district Circuit, a 21-hectare development of the local property giant Ayala Land Inc. It can seat 2,000 people and includes amenities for football players such as lockers, shower areas and changing rooms.

Sticking to the tradition of Ayala Land's lifestyle hubs, it will also feature a variety of shops selling football gear and other sports-related merchandise.

"A FIFA-size football turf by the fourth quarter will be ready to welcome the Azkals as well as football fanatics," Meann Dy, strategic landbank management group head of Ayala Land, told reporters on Wednesday.

Dy added that they are also planning to put up a football school through a partnership with "a world-renowned football team." She did not provide further details.

Aside from a football field, Circuit will also be home to a skate park, which will serve as a venue for international competitions and exhibitions as well as recreational activities.

It will be launched by the third quarter of 2013.

"Here, they can unleash all their creative energy and skill in a safe and contained environment," Dy said of the new skate park.

Formerly the Sta. Ana race track, Circuit is a 20-year project that will include not only sports zones but also a 1,500-seater performing arts theater, a two-hectare open grounds area that can accommodate 20,000 people, an interactive walk, 45,000 square meters of retail areas, a "warehouse community" featuring art galleries, accessory shops and food trucks, hotels, offices and residential developments.

Looks like this will be the new home of the Azkals by years end. A NEW world class pitch is very much welcome

Very Nice! :cheers:

Ayala knows how to reenergize Makati. Over the years the city has become highly commercial, a concrete jungle so to speak. This is an exciting development, probably even more exciting than those in BGC because of its proximity to Manila and Pasay.

may mga tarpaulin ako nakita kaninang umaga malapit sa corner ng chino roces avenue at j.p.rizal sinasabing 'circuit', at pwede nga daw itong large events venue :)

positive economic activity ito sa area at siguradong mabebenipisyuhan ang mga kalapit barangay. a possible 8 barangays would benefit in this project :)

Another mixed-used development in Makati City that expands the skyline. Sana naman pwede magtayo ng Supertall dito.....:cheers:

I dont think this is the latest render because they said may football pitch, football school pa. EON Circuit is going to be a mixed-use sports complex.

Lahat na talaga nasa Makati. Kulang nalang Rizal Park at pwede na siyang maging capital ng Pilipinas :lol:

Typical and boring. Looks nothing special except probably the back-most tallest bldg.

Mas maganda yung pangarap ni Lim. :D Sleek and modern.

^^ So true! :lol:

At least hindi mapapako sa pangako.

but ayala developments are getting really boring. this is just a photocopy of alveo's high street south in bgc same boxy buildings. dapat na talaga i-open sa foreigners yung real estate industry para naman may gumawa ng magandang iconic building sa pilipinas.

for instance, yung kay lim, mga south korean investors yung nagpadesign ng manila financial center, di ba may super tall iconic building yun? ganun sila gumawa ng development. di katulad dito na basta lang may maitayo at kumita oks na. pwe. yung bgc walang iconic structure kaya hindi nababalita sa ibang bansa.

The "temporary" football pitch within The Circuit will be the turf of Chelsea FC of UK (football school) and the Azkals

^^ because the scrapped Ayala Tower Three project (a 70-floor office building) would have been the supertall. There would have been three towers sa Ayala Triangle but so far, only Ayala Tower 1 was built. Ayala Tower 2 was planned as a 50-floor building with an estimated height of 218 meters.

MANILA, Philippines -- Here's good news for fans of plays and musicals: a new performing arts venue will soon rise in Makati.

Called the Circuit Theater, the indoor venue at the heart of Makati's retail and business district will be designed so "it's good enough for Broadway," Meann Dy, strategic landbank management group head of the local property giant Ayala Land Inc., told reporters on Wednesday.

It will have a seating capacity of 1,500, with a stage that measures 96 square meters and an orchestra pit that can accommodate at least 60 musicians.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a CCP in Makati? To catch a world-class musical after work without needing to undertime and rush out of the business district just to catch a 7 p.m. performance?" Dy said, noting how the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Pasay City is "too far" for office workers.

The Circuit Theater is part of Ayala Land's 20-year project, Circuit, an entertainment district that will also feature a two-hectare open grounds area, an interactive walk, sports zones, 45,000 square meters of retail areas, a "warehouse community," hotels, offices and residential developments.

Dy said Circuit, which is formerly the Sta. Ana race track, will also be home to a "black box," a multipurpose venue that can host smaller and more intimate performances like piano recitals and comedy shows.

^^ This has always been the complaint of SSC members, debated over and over again. Yet I would agree with you at some point. But let us not forget the most important factor - the demographic of the buyers.

If there are more buyers who can afford to invest high-end real estate, then you may see more, for a lack of a better word, architectural marvel of many a residential building. This is of course assuming that the developer, by that time, shall intend to create a better looking building commensurate to their increased revenue.

Also if you compare buildings in Manila to other cities, say Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, then you must note that the property ownership laws there as well as the foreign investment climate are different. Foreign investments usually drive the property market, assuming that those foreigners have a higher purchasing power, then you can expect better looking buildings.

The bottomline, the developers are in business to make money, if buyers can afford more, then we will see more marvels. It is slowly happening now, 3-5 years pa lang naman nag-pick up ang real estate industry ulit. Let us wait for it. SM is creating nicer malls and buildings. Ayala is more traditional and conservative din kasi.

ok puede na nila gibain yung pangit na CPP ni Imelda....gawin na lang nilang Star City Extension

^^ CCP is an architectural treasure and it must be preserved.

paano naging architectural treasure....may swamp sa harap....kadiri

Ironically your name says "manila is booming" yet you don't appreciate the city's true architectural gems. :ohno: CCP is one of Manila's best contemporary buildings.

Ayala owns most of the big-ticket projects in the Metro but they have yet to construct an Iconic building that would place our skylines prominently on the world map. They're just too conservative and cautious, but I think the conglomerate is big and prosperous enough to make a bold statement. I still don't see it in EON.

^^ CCP is an architectural treasure and it must be preserved.

Yeah it's a classic. One of the few worth preserving from its era. It just has to be properly maintained.

Yeah it's a classic. One of the few worth preserving from its era. It just has to be properly maintained.

Aside from being an architectural gem, CCP is also home to some of the country's best: Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, UST Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Philippines, Philippine Ballet Theater, Philippine Madrigal Singers, Tanghalang Pilipino, Bayanihan Philippine National Folk Dance Company, Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group and the National Music Competition for Young Artists.

OT na but I just have to say that CCP needs support. If the Government can't cover the cost of the arts, sana kahet from the private sector (ehem Ayala...) :lol:

We should be reminded that no matter how progressive our country is, culture will always be the soul of a nation. :cheers:

Super OT na haha

ok puede na nila gibain yung pangit na CPP ni Imelda....gawin na lang nilang Star City Extension

Youre joking right? The ccp theater was designed by national artist locsin. You want a jolog star city to take over the CCP? I think its the other way around. Star city's contract should have been terminated and star city dismantled. Star city's architecture doesnt belong in the ccp complex at all. It disfigured the national artist design phil trade center into a monstrosity of what it is now.

The bldgs in the ccp complex are now part of our heritage and you want it destroyed and replaced with a kitschy carnival? Parang si mayor lim na walang paki alam sa heritage bldgs basta may bayad ok na ipagiba

paano naging architectural treasure....may swamp sa harap....kadiri

Swamp? You call that swamp? Hahahahaah Oh boy that shows your level of education. Manila is booming gosh! With that kind of mentality, you might as well change ur nick to manilaisgarbage. Sorry to be mean but really.... do some research first

Its super traffic to to Sta Ana from Legaspi Village. It's faster to catch a play in Resorts World Manila because of Skyway than it is to go to Sta Ana. That would change if they build a Skyway to Sta Ana to cut travel time by more than half!

ok puede na nila gibain yung pangit na CPP ni Imelda....gawin na lang nilang Star City Extension

:ohno: This is one of the most ignorant statements I've read here.

May mga naka-book ng concerts sa Circuit Makati Concert Grounds for 2013. I heard next week, Jabbawockeez will perform at the said venue(I'm not sure if its true), but according to my sources, meron nang nakaschedule na concert on March sa concert grounds.

Ayala to open 'blue' football field in Makati

The "blue pitch" could possibly look like the same field used for last year's London Paralympic Games. Photo grabbed from usefulorbeautiful.blogspot.com.

MANILA, Philippines - A "blue" FIFA-sized football field will soon be opened at Ayala Land's new Circuit Makati project by the fourth quarter of the year.

Ayala Land Inc. president Antonino Aquino revealed the football turf will be colored "blue" instead of the usual green color.

The football field will also be partly used by a football school that Ayala is planning to open with a "world-class football team."

Meann Dy, strategic landbank management group head of Ayala Land, said the turf's blue color is one of the requests of the said football team.

"We're working on a partnership with a world-class football team to open a school... They want a blue turf," she said.

However, she declined to name the "blue" football team, saying it will be announced at Circuit Makati's launch on January 15. She did say that several Azkals players will be at the event.

Yes theyve placed a lot of these ads in Kalayaan and JP rizal where these light masts are. Honestly the ads they made has a retro and comic theme thats why it looked like some bar or a typical filipino entertainment place like a perya. But since you can see Ayala Land's logo and the Make it makati logo, you know it would be elegant.

Nakita ko lang kanina

Ayala owns most of the big-ticket projects in the Metro but they have yet to construct an Iconic building that would place our skylines prominently on the world map. They're just too conservative and cautious, but I think the conglomerate is big and prosperous enough to make a bold statement. I still don't see it in EON.

It will be a while before Ayala builds an iconic building. Ayala Tower One remains to be its headquarters and it's relatively new pa. As of the moment Ayala is pouring all of its resources on residential condominiums to squeeze every penny out of the boom before it bursts.

There's only one iconic building in the entire country and that's the GT tower.

Swamp? You call that swamp? Hahahahaah Oh boy that shows your level of education. Manila is booming gosh! With that kind of mentality, you might as well change ur nick to manilaisgarbage. Sorry to be mean but really.... do some research first

I love CCP. One of our country's most beautiful landmarks.


Looking forward to the EON launch on the 15th! :)

How Ayala is turning a race track into an entertainment hub

MANILA, Philippines - Leading property developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is transforming the former Sta. Ana racetrack into an urban entertainment hub called Circuit Makati.

The company is investing P20 billion in the next five years to develop the 21-hectare property into a major destination for lifestyle and entertainment in the metropolis.

The project will include a performing arts venue, high-rise residential projects, malls, offices, a hotel, a football field, skating park and event grounds.

Circuit Makati's name pays tribute to the Sta. Ana race track, known as a "racing circuit."

In a press conference on Friday, Ayala Land president Antonino Aquino said the area has always been the center of entertainment, but the project will focus more on "family entertainment."

Aquino said the Circuit project will help "complete" the offerings of Makati City, the financial capital of the country.

"This is intended to complete the Makati offerings because in Makati, you have a full set already on the business district side. You also have the cosmopolitan part, where the retail - Ayala Center - is located and we also have other developments catering to offices, BPOs... (Circuit) is really going to be an integral part to complete Makati," he said.

Ayala Land took inspiration from various places around the world when it was conceptualizing Circuit.

Meean Dy, head of ALI's strategic landbank management group, said they were inspired by the lights of Ginza in Japan, fashion week and Broadway shows in New York and Millennium Park in Chicago.

Circuit is hoping to give Filipinos world-class entertainment venues, namely the Circuit Theater, a 1,500 seater performing arts venue; Circuit Lane, an interactive walk; and the Events Grounds, a 2-hectare open air area with a 20,000 capacity.

The Circuit Lane is described as similar to Bonifacio High Street with retail and dining establishments but with a heavier focus on entertainment. It will include a "black box," a venue for small art exhibitions, workshops and comedy shows.

There are also areas for outdoor sports and activities, such as urban karting, skating and football.

But Aquino said its new urban entertainment hub will not compete with Pagcor's Entertainment City project.

"That's a Pagcor project so there will be more of the casinos. Our focus is on family entertainment," Aquino said. He added Ayala is not likely to venture into gaming due to "various risks" involved.

ALI: P20-b fun complex rising
By Jenniffer B. Austria | Manila Standard Today | Saturday | Posted on Jan. 12, 2013 at 12:02am

Ayala Land Inc., the biggest property company in the Philippines, launched Friday a P20-billion entertainment complex in the former racetrack facility in Sta. Ana, Makati City.

Ayala Land president Antonino Aquino said in a launching held at Raffles Hotel in Makati the company would transform the 21-hectare property into an integrated mixed-use development with retail, office, hotel, residential and entertainment components.

Aquino said the development would emerge as the entertainment district of the Makati Central Business District.

The project, to be called Circuit Makati, is a joint venture with listed racetrack operator Philippine Racing Club Inc., which owns the land.

As an entertainment district, the area will contain an international size football turf, a 1,500-seater theater, a two-hectare events ground that could accommodate 20,000 people and various indoor and outdoor interactive family entertainment activities.

The football turf and events ground, which will be a venue for various types of events such as concerts, dance and theater performances, fashion shows and exhibits, will be completed by the third quarter of 2013.

Ayala Land over the next five years will put up office development projects with a gross leasable area of 30,000 square meters, a shopping mall with 45,000 sq. m. of leasable space and several condominium towers to be built by the various residential brands of the Ayala Land group.

ALI to spend P20 billion for Makati project
by Madelaine B. Miraflor | Manila Times | Saturday | Published on 12 January 2013

Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has started the development of Circuit Makati City, its P20-billion entertainment district in the city, which is set to be partially completed in 2016.

ALI President and Chief Executive Officer Antonino Aquino said in a briefing on Friday that the development of Circuit Makati has started and the completion of phase 1, which covers the 90 percent of the project, will be around 2016.

He noted that in 2016, 90 percent of the area will be developed although the P20 billion covers the five-year period target for the project.

Circuit Makati is considered as the sixth node of the different nodes of project that ALI is going to develop, which has a total investment cost of P60 billion for all the nodes.

“This is a fairly large development, it is 21 hectares integrated mixed use development, and this is so much different from other entertainment venues in the country,” Aquino said.

Circuit Makati includes a 1,500-seat theatre, a football turf of international size, two-hectare events grounds, hotels, offices, malls, and residential structures.

The development will feature the Circuit Theatre and the Circuit Lane, which will feature an interactive walk with a multipurpose black box for more shows, recitals, workshops and even parties.

Circuit Event Grounds, meanwhile, will be a venue for various types of events such as concerts, dance and theatre performances, fashion shows, exhibits as well as outdoor sporting events such as football.

Alveo Land Inc., an ALI unit, will be the initial developer for residential component in the area. Robert Lao, president of Alveo Land, said February is the month when they will launch their project in the area, which has an approximate investment cost of P2.5 billion.

For the hotel component, Junie Jalandoni, president of Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts, said that a Seda brand hotel in Circuit Makati, which has a project cost of P1.5 billion to P2 billion, will be up and running in 2016.

Circuit Makati is an ALI development in partnership with with Philippine Racing Club group, which still owns the property or land area of the five-year project.

But Aquino said that the planning, development, construction and the P20-billion investment are all with ALI.

“In the past, the race track has provided entertainment for generations of horse-racing aficionados. Now, Ayala Land intends to preserve the district’s entertainment equity by bringing in a multi-faceted form of entertainment, one that is both interactive and world-class,” Meean Dy, head of ALI Strategic Landbank Management Group head, said.

Ayala Land says 'No' to gambling, pours P20-B into Sta. Ana mixed-use devt
by SIEGFRID O. ALEGADO | GMA News | Friday | January 11, 2013 4:48pm

Listed-Ayala Land Inc. is not looking at investing in gaming hubs.

The property developer is instead focusing on mixed-used communities, particularly in its planned 21-hectare Circuit Makati – a residential, commercial, and entertainment hub to rise in the former Sta. Ana Race Track.

“No to gaming, it's too risky,” Antonino Aquino, Ayala Land President, told reporters in a briefing Friday. “There are growth opportunities in other areas like retail, residential, among others.”

The company's core objective is to build “integrated mixed-use developments. Ayala pioneered in this particular product, and it really represents the types of product that we have,” said Aquino.

For the first phase of the Circuit, Ayala Land is funneling P20-billion into the project that is targeted for completion in 2016.

Phase 1 includes a 1,500-seater performing arts venue that will showcase Filipino talents, as well as

P2.5-billion 40-story residential tower and a P2-billion 250-room contemporary hotel.

The highlight of this development is a 600-meter “interactive” walkway flanked by an array of retail and leisure shops as well as areas for more intimate shows, recitals and workshops.

In the same briefing, Ayala Land executive vice president Bobby Dy noted some 45,000 square meters (sqm) of gross leasable area will accommodate retail shops including 15,000 sqm for the walkway and 30,000 sqm for a new mall.

On Tuesday, Jan 15, the Circuit Events ground – a 2-hectare open air venue for international and local acts – will be officially unveiled.

Later this year, the Circuit will also open an area for urban carting, a skate park, and a football turf for both international matches and football school.

http://www8.gmanews.tv/webpics/v3/2013/01/640_Circuit%20Makati%20-%20View%203.jpg

'Dynamic urban hub'

“In five years' time, it will rise as a dynamic urban hub seamlessly complementing the distinct taste for living, leisure and lifestyle of today's modern urbanites,” said Aquino.

“The whole area will be utilized. Through this, we will be able to ensure that there is synergy in all elements of this community,” he said.

On where the idea for the Circuit came from, Ayala Land vice president for strategic landbank management group Meean Bautista-Dy said the company drew inspiration from world-renowned lifestyle centers like Ginza in Tokyo, Japan and the Garment District in New York City.

“We've done extensive research as we want to build a lifestyle area, a cultural hub here in Makati. If it's possible in these cities, why can't we build it here,” she noted.

Office spaces will rise as Ayala Land earmarked 100,000 sqm in GLA for traditional offices and business process outsourcing companies, said Dy, the executive vice president.

The five-year development project is part and parcel of P60-billion project encompassing six nodes in Makati City.

It is under the “Make It Happen, Make It Makati” campaign in partnership with the local government of Makati and the Makati Commercial Estate Association Inc. (MACEA).

The Circuit is a partnership with the Philippine Race Club Inc., which will receive 18 percent from the residential project. Rates for other projects, said EVP Dy are still being finalized.

The Sta. Race Track was relocated in Cavite province, where the San Lazaro Race Track was also relocated after it was bought and developed by SM Prime Holdings Inc. into a shopping mall.

MANILA - Ayala Land Inc on Friday launched its P20-billion entertainment project, which will rise at the former Sta Ana Race Track and complete Makati City as a multi-faceted urban destination.

In a statement, the property giant said Circuit Makati will be a 21-hectare integrated mixed-use project anchored on entertainment experiences that will bring together Ayala Land's various product lines consisting of residential, malls, offices and hotels.

"In five years' time, it will rise as a dynamic urban hub seamlessly complementing the distinct taste for living, leisure and lifestyle of today's modern urbanites," said company president Antonino Aquino.

Circuit Makati is one of the key pillars of the city's Make It Happen, Make It Makati campaign, spearheaded by Ayala Land in partnership with the local government of Makati and the Makati Commercial Estate Association Inc.

"We envision Circuit to further highlight Makati City's stature, not only as the Philippines' business and financial capital, but also, more importantly, as the country's unrivaled destination for lifestyle and entertainment," said Mean Dy, Ayala Land strategic landbank management group head.

The entertainment project will be linked to the Makati central business district (CBD) through Ayala Avenue Extension and South Avenue, future road linkages and other projects.

The name Circuit Makati was coined in honor of the Sta. Ana Race Track, Makati's heritage as a former racing circuit. In 2011, Ayala Land and Alveo Land Corp entered into a joint venture agreement with Philippine Racing Club Inc to develop the race track, the last big piece of land in Makati City.

"In the past, the race track has provided entertainment for generations of horse-racing aficionados. Now, Ayala Land intends to preserve the district's entertainment equity by bringing in a multi-faceted form of entertainment, one that is both interactive and world class," said Dy.

Circuit will host three distinct entertainment venues aimed at attracting families, first of which is the Circuit Theater, a 1-500-seater performing arts venue that will showcase world-class Filipino talent and feature Broadway-type of entertainment.

The Circuit Lane will feature an interactive walk with a multi-purpose black box for more intimate shows, recitals, workshops and event parties. It will cross the entire length of the district, highlighted by a distinct water feature flanked by an array of retail and leisure shops.

The Circuit Events Ground will be a venue for various types of events such as concerts, dance and theatre performances, fashion shows, exhibits as well as outdoor sporting events such as football.

but ayala developments are getting really boring. this is just a photocopy of alveo's high street south in bgc same boxy buildings. dapat na talaga i-open sa foreigners yung real estate industry para naman may gumawa ng magandang iconic building sa pilipinas.

for instance, yung kay lim, mga south korean investors yung nagpadesign ng manila financial center, di ba may super tall iconic building yun? ganun sila gumawa ng development. di katulad dito na basta lang may maitayo at kumita oks na. pwe. yung bgc walang iconic structure kaya hindi nababalita sa ibang bansa.

Ayala is already upping their game. Just look at Garden Towers, much better design than Park Terraces or The Suites. It will be one of the best looking condos when completed.

NEW 'CITY.' These pictures (including those below) are the an artist's rendition of Circuit Makati, a P20-B entertainment district at the old Sta. Ana Racetrack. Photos provided by Ayala Land

MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) - Ayala Land unveiled on Friday, January 11, its plans for a P20-billion project that will transform the old Sta. Ana race track into a mixed-use development, featuring Broadway-like entertainment and FIFA-sized football facilities.

It will sit on a 21-hectare property -- the last available sprawling landbank in Makati City -- and will be dubbed as Circuit Makati in honor of the Sta. Ana race track, which is part of Makati's heritage as a former racing circuit.

"In the past, the race track has provided entertainment for generations of horse-racing aficionados. Now, Ayala Land intends to preserve the district's entertainment equity by bringing in a multi-faceted form of entertainment, one that is both interactive and world class," Meean Dy, Vice president for Strategic Landbank Management Group, said.

"[Circuit Makati] is a large-scale development fully integrated with residential, office, retail as well as new hotels, and synergy among these developments.” Ayala Land president Antonino Aquino told reporters.

The upcoming hub is part of a P60-billion plan by Ayala Land to invest in 6 Makati districts over 5 years, and is one of the components of the Make it Happen, Make it Makati campaign of the property firm, the local government of Makati and the Makati Commercial Estate Associtaion Inc (MACEA). It is also a testament that Makati City remains Ayala Land's crown jewel, despite its capital intensive development plans in various parts of the country.

It wil have links to the Makati central business district (CBD) through Ayala Avenue Extension and South Avenue, as well as other future road linkages and projects.

http://static.rappler.com/images/Ayala-Land-Circuit-Makati-map-6%20Nodes.jpg

Entertainment and sports

The development will be anchored on entertainment facilities, such as a sport zones, theatre areas, and a 'warehouse community' featuring art galleries, accessory shops and food trucks.

Circuit Makati will be made up of 3 entertainment venues. The first will feature a 1,500-seater arts venue called Circuit Theater.

It will have the same capacity as the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), is aimed to showcase world-class Filipino talent and feature Broadway-type of entertainment.

For more intimate events, Circuit Lane will comprise of an interactive walk with a multi-purpose black box for intimate shows, recitals, workshops and parties. It will span the entire length of the district, highlighted by a distinct water feature flanked by retail and leisure shops.

The Circuit Event Grounds will be a venue for various types of events, such as concerts, dance and theater performances, fashion shows, exhibits and outdoor sporting events such as go-karting and skating.

There will also be a FIFA-sized football turf which will be used for games and for football workshops. It will feature a 2-hectare open-air events ground, which can accommodate up to 20,000 people.

According to Dy, the football turf will be completed by the 4th quarter of this year and the skate park by the 3rd quarter of 2013.

“We chose football because it is reflective of the type of market we’re trying to attract: the younger, family oriented generation,” Dy said, adding that they are currently "working on a partnership with a world-renowned football team.”

She did not provide additional details, except that the team they are eyeing is UK-based and uses blue as team color.

Retail and office

A water element reflecting the nearby Pasig river will run through the development. The walkway will cross the entire length of the district and will be flanked by 45,000 sqm gross leasable area (GLA) of retail outlets and shops.

“Retail will be a big aspect of the entertainment component. We will encourage our retailers to have interactive components video and wall activities, etcetera, in each store," said Rowena Tomeldan, vice president of Ayala Malls and Offices and head of operations.

"While we will have the traditional local and global brands, we will also bring in new concepts,” Tomeldan added.

The other retail area will be fashioned on a ‘warehouse concept,’ which will cater to the budding entrepreneur crowd.

“The warehouse concept will be a combination of pop up stores food shops, music lounges and stores. A place for the budding entrepreneur who will not be quite ready to get into the formal mall format,” said Dy.

Interspersed between the retail outlets will be 30,000-sqm GLA of office space.

“We know how BPO’s (Business Process Outsourcing) always like to be situated in a place, which becomes a lifestyle BPO center. I don’t think [there is] anywhere [else that] will be able to compare with this type of BPO offering we will have,” said Aquino.

Residences, hotels

These facilities are meant to complement other product lines of Ayala Land: Alveo for residential, Ayala Malls and office, and Ayala Hotels.

This February, Alveo Land will also be launching its residential projects at Circuit Makati. According to Robert Lao, president of Alveo Land Group, they are targeting to launch a tower almost every year.

“If we’re look at a 10 year pipeline we’re looking at 8 to 10 towers. The investment per tower is P2.5 billion,” he said.

The group is also planning to bring in other residential brands in the next few years.

According to Junie Salandoni, senior vice president of Ayala Hotels and Resorts, there will be one hotel with 250 rooms.

“It will be different from other sets of hotels. It will be more family-oriented. Bigger pool more amenities to cater to a broader segment as opposed to BGC (Bonifacio Global City at the Fort in Taguig City), which caters to business traveller,” he said.

Phased development

The whole development will be built in phases over the next 15 to 20 years.

In the next 5 years, the theater, mall, office residential and hotel components, Circuit Lane will be complete, Aquino said. The first part of the Interactive Walk will be up by the 4th quarter of 2014, the mall towards the last quarter of 2015, and the first tower residential project at the end of 2015 or early 2016.

The development is a joint venture with the Philippine Racing Corporation (PRC), which has relocated the Sta. Ana racetrack to Cavite.

Tomeldan said that the PRC will get 18% interest on the residential components while the retail components are still under discussion depending on the equity interest.

"She did not provide additional details, except that the team they are eyeing is UK-based and uses blue as team color."

Wonder who it could be. A quick wiki search shows these teams that have blue as their primary uniform color. I could be totally wrong though...not really the go to kinda guy for football hehe. But regardless of who it is a lot of Filipino youth footballers are sure to benefit. :okay:

The "temporary" football pitch within The Circuit will be the turf of Chelsea FC of UK (football school) and the Azkals

na-iimagine ko it's gonna be like Ginza...well, sort of! :D

Chelsea has already signed an agreement with another football field in Paranaque, but I'd rather have them have classes in Makati because of its proximity.

Youre joking right? The ccp theater was designed by national artist locsin. You want a jolog star city to take over the CCP? I think its the other way around. Star city's contract should have been terminated and star city dismantled. Star city's architecture doesnt belong in the ccp complex at all. It disfigured the national artist design phil trade center into a monstrosity of what it is now.

The bldgs in the ccp complex are now part of our heritage and you want it destroyed and replaced with a kitschy carnival? Parang si mayor lim na walang paki alam sa heritage bldgs basta may bayad ok na ipagiba

Actually, I also wonder why Fred Elizalde was allowed to build the Starcity in that place. That and the DZRH radio station building, which Elizalde also owns, are trashlooking and should be demolished, if only to save the face of Manila Bay reclaimed area. Money talks? Maybe.

Ayala Land won't go into gaming
by Cathy Rose A. Garcia, ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 01/12/2013 7:46 AM | Updated as of 01/12/2013 6:23 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) is not keen on entering the gaming business, even as its rival property companies are pursuing high-profile projects at Pagcor's Entertainment City in Parañaque.

ALI president Antonino Aquino said the company is more interested in developing integrated mixed-use developments centered on "family entertainment" rather than casinos projects.

ALI's latest project Circuit Makati is touted as an urban entertainment hub, with performing arts venues, events grounds, malls, condominiums and even a skating park.

Aquino said Circuit's focus is entertainment, unlike Entertainment City's focus on gaming.

"Pagcor city will have a gaming focus. We are more focused on family entertainment," he said.

"There are no plans for gaming in so far as Circuit is concerned," he said, adding the company will focus on integrated mixed use developments that it has become known for.

Aquino admitted there are other risks involved in the gaming industry.

"There are other risks involved as far as the industry is concerned. On our side, we have high growth trajectory in this type of business. We have enough on our plate to sustain aggressive growth in the future," he said.

While the company is not interested in the casino business, Aquino admitted they might consider opportunities in the retail aspect of these projects.

"I guess not gaming per se, but there are possibilities in retail not gaming," he said.

Top Philippine property companies are pursuing projects in the government's upcoming gaming hub Entertainment City.

Property magnate Andrew Tan already has a partnership with Malaysia's Genting through Travellers Hotel International for the operations of Resorts World Manila, the first privately owned casino in the country.

Gokongwei-led Robinsons Land Corp. has partnered with Japanese tycoon Kazuo Okada's Universal Entertainment to develop commercial facilities, a budget hotel and residential projects at the Entertainment City.

Tycoon Henry Sy's Belle Corp. also teamed up with Macau casino giant Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. for an integrated casino resort complex also at Entertainment City.

Pagcor has handed out four licenses to build a casino worth at least $1 billion each at the Entertainment City.

Guys, FYI the name for this thread should be called "Circuit Makati" and not "The Circuit" based on all the postings #186, 193, 198, 201, 203, 204, 206 and 214 news clips.

Please make all necessary change to avoid confusion. Thanks !!!

According to the news feed it's gonna have skating and Karting?

Yeah a 1st class kart circuit sounds like a lot of fun.

Circuit Makati reboots a forgotten alcove (http://www.philstar.com/sunday-life/2013/01/13/896167/circuit-makati-reboots-forgotten-alcove)

...The energy of Tokyo’s Ginza, the glamour and charm of London’s West End, the thrill of New York Fashion Week and the architecture of the Chicago Millennium Park provided the ALI team with inspiration. “Phase 1, which will be developed over the next five years, will have an indoor performing arts theater with 1,500 seats, a Broadway-standard 96-square-meter stage and a 60-musician orchestra pit. We will be developing an interactive central walk that is anchored on water –– alluding to the adjacent Pasig River. It will have larger-than-life billboards that are, themselves, pieces of art. There will be the Black Box, a multi-purpose venue for more intimate events, as well as the outdoor event grounds that will have a 2,000-square-meter canopy tent,” said Mean Dy, vice president and group head of Strategic Landbank Management Group of Ayala Land....

...In the succeeding phases, a grand mall that features an Ayala Malls department store and cinemas will be developed, along with a hotel from Ayala Land’s own hotel brand, Seda Hotels, and a warehouse innovation that will be an intimate community of smaller shops, restaurants, art galleries and other merchants....

This is very interesting. ALI's inspiration is something to watch out in Circuit Makati.

Bonifacio High Street inspiration came from third st promenade in sta monica los angeles and santana row in san jose ca.

Grabe ang projects ng ALI ngayon talagang gustong sakupin ang Metro Manila. Pero sustainable naman ang mga projects nila :)

I see the theater in front, the concert ground on the back, but where is the football field?

may nauna na bang condo project ang nalaunch on this area? I remember parang may avida, meron ba? If so, suwerte nila, taas agad ng value ng units nila with all these planned recreation development around. Am interested to look at their alveo project there.

^^ Here's what I read in the Phil. Star:

"Alveo Land will also be building 20 residential condominiums in the area, simultaneous with other Phase 1 constructions. They will first build a 40-storey tower in a 5,000-square-meter land area, and from then develop one tower every year over Circuit Makati's 20-year development plan."

20 years is a long time because unlike BGC almost all of this is going to be done in-house by Ayala/Alveo. It's a good idea to buy early and watch your investment hopefully accumulate over that period of time. Anything can happen in 20 years though. :D

Beautiful project. I pray that they will remain looking like the renders until completion.

The name of the project is called UNICORN. Same cuts and size with Lerato

Beautiful project. I pray that they will remain looking like the renders until completion.

Probably, there may be some changes in the coming years but atleast we all know that Ayala Land is one of those developers that also put attention to their projects' aesthetics (based on their recently completed projects). :okay:
