Araneta Center and Megaworld are in the midst of constructing 18 residential high rise towers, comprising a total of 8,500 apartment units and 30,000 square meters of prime ground floor retail spaces, linked to Gateway Mall and mass transit systems. Manhattan Garden City will be the country’s first transit-oriented development, linking all of its 18 residential condominium towers to the metro’s fa
st, traffic-free train system: the LRT2 along Aurora Boulevard and the MRT3 along EDSA. A project of the Araneta Center and Megaworld Corporation, this Mahnattan Garden City will be comprised of 18 residential high rise towers with roughly 9,000 apartments for about 36,000 residents upon completion. The ten high-rises that make up the first three phases – Manhattan Parkway (three towers), Manhattan Parkview (three towers), and Manhattan Heights (four towers) – are already 100% sold out and turned over to buyers. The last phase, the Manhattan Plaza, will feature eight high-rise residential towers. Inspired by the famous Rockefeller Center in New York, it will have a civic plaza and retail podium at the center of the development. Mahnattan Plaza will be highlighted by a set of grand Spanish steps that leads to the civic plaza. As the country’s first transit-oriented residential development, all 18 towers will eventually be linked via elevated bridgeways to Gateway Mall and the terminals of the MRT-3 along EDSA and LRT-2 along Aurora Boulevard. The whole project will also be connected below-ground via a network of basement parking. Tuazon Street and Aurora Boulevard without passing through the Center’s road network.
