The northern part of Bonifacio Global City may be one of the fastest development to ever happen not only in the district but as well in the entire country. The continuous demand for better infrastructure for BPO locators in more premium business districts have continued to rise especially during pre-pandemic time and this has been foreseen long before by property-giant and leading office developer, Megaworld.

In 2015, Megaworld started pre-selling and pre-leasing their upcoming condominiums, retail and office infrastructure that they began constructing left and right throughout their 15.4-hectare property which they branded as Uptown Bonifacio. Today, it is now a world-class district that is one of the best places to do business in the Philippines.

Uptown Bonifacio is composed of 7 blocks located on the northern portion of prime Bonifacio Global City.

The central block of the development is where you will find Uptown Parade. It is a big retail complex that is home to high-end restaurant and bars which has been a top destination for both locals and visitors. Here you will find fine dining Salvatore Italian restaurant and premium clubs such as Revel, Xylo and the Island.

South block of Uptown Parade is Uptown Place which is where Uptown Mall is located together with Alliance Global Tower----the developer's very own headquarters, and the 3 office towers atop the mall which they call Uptown Place 1,2 and 3.

A portion of its most-eastern block is where you can find World Commerce Place-- one of Megaworld's biggest office buildings in the district with expandable floorplates of up to 5,000 sqm per floor.

North of Uptown Parade, towards the left, you will find the island block where Worldwide Plaza is. It is also known as the newest JP Morgan Global Service Center and right across it to the west is Uptown Arts, a boutique residential development. Going back towards the south side to circle back to Uptown Place, are the residential developments lined up on the remaining blocks of the western side, namely Uptown Parksuites, Uptown Ritz and Uptown Residence.

Aside from the fact that Uptown Bonifacio has a Walk Score® 96/100, it also has a unique feature exclusive to its residents, which is an air-conditioned underground link from the condominiums to the mall which can protect you from outside elements such as the strong sun during the summer and heavy rain during the rainy season.

Truly a world-class development that was carefully planned to suit the fast-changing lifestyle of Filipinos, Uptown Bonifacio continuously elevates the ideals of urban living while promoting walkability around the entire township. It also continues to take into account the ideas of comfort, convenience, and accessibility.

Aside from its own development design, Megaworld's efforts to make the district even more accessible include joining forces with the government to expedite transportation infrastructure projects.

The latest addition is the Kalayaan Bridge or Santa Monica-Lawton bridge that connects North BGC to Pasig City's Capital Commons and Ortigas Center

Upcoming developments are the Skytrain Monorail and the much anticipated Metro Manila Subway which will have a station within Uptown near Kalayaan Avenue.

Currently, there are multiple bus stops surrounding Uptown Bonifacio which can bring you to multiple points within BGC and as well as to its entry/exit points --Ayala Avenue, Kalayaan Avenue, C5 and Lawton Avenue. It is very easy to walk to Kalayaan, Market-Market and C5 if you wish to get a PUJ/PUV that can take you to other districts in the metro.

Additionally, Metro Manila's airports--NAIA Terminals 1,2 and 3 are only less than 30 minutes away with a distance of 11.3 km, 11.5 km, and 7.3 km respectively.
