It was once largely unused and barren, a wasteland in fact. But thanks to its strategic location, it has gradually transformed into a thriving central business district, where many local businesses, multinationals and residential developers have settled.
The geographical center of Metro Manila, the Ortigas Center of Pasig City, has become the second most important financial district after Ayala Avenue in Makati City. This 100-hectare expanse is home to sprawling shopping complexes and corporate headquarters, as well as some of the metro’s most renowned educational institutions and medical facilities. It is also home to a number of horizontal and vertical residential communities.

The Spectrum is the ideal address for those who want to be close to where it all happens while enjoying the security of an exclusive environment.
Surrounded by main arteries, pedestrian traffic is also important throughout the center of Ortigas. And because it serves as a metro hub, family and friends who live on opposite ends of the Capital Region find it convenient to meet there, whether for a nightcap after a long, exhausting day at work or to meet on weekends.
Colliers Philippines Associate Director for Research, Joey Roi Bondoc, wrote in one of his columns for Inquirer Property that the Ortigas Center is seen as attracting more tenants, which could mean higher uptake of units. condominium in the business district. He further shared a report from Colliers stating that “Geographical connectivity, community integration, accessibility via infrastructure, and attractive business costs amplify Ortigas Center as an ideal business location.”
Indeed, there is something for everyone at Ortigas Center, making it a viable commercial and residential address.
