Alveo Land develops dynamic district within BGC

MANILA, Philippines - In a bustling city where skyscrapers and office buildings tower over packed streets and busy lanes, it’s easy to forget what it’s like to enjoy life’s simple yet precious moments.

Seeing an iconic piece of art by the street, enjoying a hearty chat with friends, and working up a good sweat during a late afternoon jog after work are just some little pleasures that most urbanites today are forced to deny themselves. Lifestyles inevitably change, thus places also have to evolve to address the changing needs of today’s modern world.

The myriad lifestyle offerings at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) — a mixed-use business and lifestyle hub known as the “home of passionate minds” — provide the perfect avenues for today’s individuals to foster relationships with their community and their surrounding environment. Playing host to various lifestyle hubs such as retail shops, leisure and recreation venues, business establishments, and open spaces for diverse interests, BGC brings to life a fine example of a rapidly growing dynamic and multi-functional city that redefines the concept of modern urban developments.

“BGC’s continuous evolution certainly complements the diverse lifestyles that modern Filipinos lead,” says Jennylle Tupaz, project development group head of Alveo Land. “In turn, this harmony paves the way for the city to raise the bar for how urban hubs should be built.”

As the leader in pioneering developments in the country today, Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) has demonstrated its groundbreaking concepts in city and district engineering through the rise of the country’s master-planned urban locations. ALI led the revival of BGC beginning with the rise of Serendra in 2004, Market! Market! in 2006, and Bonifacio High Street in 2007. Extending the dynamic experience of Bonifacio High Street (BHS) today is the rise of more developments breaking ground in BGC such as the Mind Museum, Kukun, and the extension of Bonifacio High Street.  And today, Ayala Land, through Alveo Land, is redefining the concept of modern urban developments as it presents an exclusive district project that mirrors Alveo Land’s thrust towards shaping and innovating lifestyles.

A District Comes To Life  at BGC

Have you wondered what it feels like to live in a next-generation city, one that looks towards the future? What would it be like to wake up and find yourself walking the streets of Manila amid the familiar sights and sounds of cosmopolitan cities such as New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Madrid?

High Street South will be built along 27th Avenue in BGC.

Alveo Land has always been guided by its thrust that dynamism is the key to a more enabled urban experience, which is why it is now going beyond the standards of modern property development by unveiling a “world within a district”: High Street South.

“Alveo Land has always lived by our principle to shape and innovate living experiences,” adds Tupaz. “And now, we highlight this thrust even further as we unveil an iconic and pioneering Alveo Land district development that takes the best lessons from the most prominent cities across the globe — High Street South.”

With BGC being home to passionate minds, the rise of High Street South as a cultural district that complements its inherent dynamics is set to become the pulse of the city. Inspired by today’s leading urban-cultural hubs, the 7.6-hectare development will be a revolution in city living that will provide BGC residents and visitors with modern conveniences, vibrant street life, and a multi-faceted community atmosphere that will further emphasize Alveo Land’s expertise in understanding the future ideals of modern and dynamic living.

High Street South, developed by Alveo Land in partnership with BGC, represents a real commitment to create the best master-planned urban address in Metro Manila that will redefine the BGC landscape in the next 25 years. It will offer modern urban conveniences and a dynamic street experience that complements BGC’s thoughtfully designed urban landscape through unique, pedestrian-friendly infrastructures. The district will exude a lively, cosmopolitan vibe through distinct and evolving architectural designs that radiate a memorable sense of place, thus delighting urbanites with an inviting and multifaceted city experience.

Its highly networked location and diverse lifestyle destinations will be anchored on the district’s modern retail concept that boast of pedestrian-oriented boutique stores and leisure-oriented commerce that will emphasize Alveo Land’s thrust of creating integrated live-work-play districts. High Street South will also be characterized by mixed-use developments comprised of office buildings, commercial developments and residential enclaves.  The development will be a good mix of global brands to quaint boutiques and leisure-oriented commerce on the ground floors and the most prime and most modern living experiences on the top floors.  True to the vision of BGC as a whole, High Street South will feature greenery and open spaces prominently, with the developer paying a lot of attention to open spaces and parks not typically found in urban cities.

Taking inspiration from Ayala Land’s unparalleled standards in property development, Alveo Land is now pioneering High Street South as a cultural district that fuses the concepts of a vibrant, modern, and integrated lifestyle. High Street South is Alveo Land’s visionary, urban district that is designed to suit the cosmopolitan lifestyles of tomorrow. “While Ayala Land’s Serendra developments celebrated the beauty that is inside its community, High Street South will be celebrating the continuously evolving charm of life that is on the outside — all within a walking distance.”

Adapting BGC’s dynamic and highly urban lifestyle, High Street South will offer an array of distinct lifestyle, cultural, and business infrastructure, pioneering architectural and landscape design, and ultimate urban convenience and prestige. High Street South will, indeed, exude the charm of having the ideals of diversity, style, art, and leisure fused together for a modern ideal that offers an unparalleled experience within a rising new urban destination.
