The outdoors offer instant rejuvenation as well with meditation trails, wide jogging paths, and bike lanes spread around the community.

Strategic site

Pacific Residences boasts an unbeatable location in terms of value and proximity, because it is located on Taguig Diversion Road in Taguig City just off the C-5 artery, within a five-kilometer radius of Makati. Fort Bonifacio is a next-door neighbor, with Market! Market! a short drive away. The Ortigas business center is a mere 15-minute ride to the north with Quezon City just beyond; the South Luzon Expressway and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport are equally accessible in the other direction.

Pasig before and now

Pasig has always been one of the country’s most established centers of trade since the pre-Spanish times. Two polished jade adzes of the New Late Stone Age, dated to around 1,000 - 1,200 B.C., were excavated in Pasig, then the capital of the Province of Rizal, during the early 1920’s — proving that Pasig had been a center of human habitation for at least 3,000 years.

Pasig was also destined to become the center of Roman Catholic faith when Augustinian missionaries created the township of Pasig in 1572 and declared it as the Visitacion Parish the very next year, the first Marian Parish in the Philippines, and probably in the whole of Asia. The present stone church of the archdiocese, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, was built between the years 1722 to 1760 – ranking it as the oldest existing edifice in Pasig.

From its long and rich entrepreneurial history, Pasig had been transformed into a modern urban landscape, yet it has retained its charming heritage. Pasig’s Central Business District, the Ortigas Center is the second largest business district in the country. Located in Pasig and within the boundaries of Quezon City and Mandaluyong City, the Ortigas Center boasts of a number of the tallest buildings ever proposed in the Philippines such as the SkyCity as well as the major shopping malls. Other significant landmarks are the Asian Development Bank, Tektite Towers, and Meralco Building.
