Ayala, or more specifically, the Ayala Center in Makati
City, is a highly-urbanized and commercialized district within Metro
Manila. It is technically a commercial complex operated and owned by
Ayala Land, and resides within the central business district of Makati,
making it very accessible to professionals and employees working in
Makati.
Facts
The Ayala district is
full of shopping, business, recreational, and entertainment centers
inside of its vicinity. It is known as one of the most important
shopping mecca even in the country, with several malls highlighting it:
Ayala Greenbelt, SM City Ayala, Power Plant Mall, Glorietta, and the
Rockwell Center, among others. Its location is very convenient as it is
at the heart of the city's business and commercial center. The Proscenium Rockwell Makati is one of the most prestigious new development's being built.
It
is bounded to the southeast by the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, or
EDSA, which has the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), and the Ayala Avenue to
the northeast. Both roads are major avenues for Metro Manila traffic,
and thousands of those who work in and out of Makati commute along these
thoroughfares. Jazz Residences Makati is right outside the Central Business District, and it is joined to the center via a Bridgeway.
Benefits
Because the
location of the Ayala district is at the center of a bustling
metropolis, living there or near the district is likewise a very
attractive option. If you are working in Makati, you have jeepneys and
taxis that take you to the Ayala Center in a short span of time. You
might even have to walk just to get to Ayala; it is that convenient.
If
you are living outside or near Makati City, and you work in its central
financial district, commuting is also not too much of a headache since
you can commute via the Metro Rail Transit. The MRT is not plagued by
traffic problems because of its dedicated rail track. It is quite
accessible if you have your own car since it is located in between major
roads.
