For the modern executive, the question is no longer where to work—it’s where to grow.
In the south-edge of Bonifacio Global City, a new district is quietly reshaping how businesses think about real estate, infrastructure, and urban resilience: McKinley West.

This 34.5-hectare township by Megaworld Corporation has become one of Taguig’s most closely watched investment corridors—strategically positioned beside Forbes Park and the Manila Polo Club, and designed to anchor the next phase of Metro Manila’s business evolution.

Bonifacio Capital District: Engine for Long-Term Value

McKinley West isn’t just another mixed-use development. It forms part of the Bonifacio Capital District (BCD)—a joint initiative between Megaworld and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to establish a new government and financial hub. When complete, the BCD will host national institutions like the Senate and Supreme Court, along with next-generation commercial and civic facilities.

For investors and corporate occupiers, that means more than prestige. It signals long-term stability, institutional demand, and sustained property appreciation—a rare trifecta in an urban market that often chases short-term trends.

The township’s layout follows Megaworld’s signature live-work-play-learn-shop framework, combining high-end residences, retail strips, and business towers along wide, landscaped boulevards. Its adjacency to Bonifacio Global City ensures access to the talent, transport, and prestige of the capital’s premier business district—without the congestion premiums that come with it.

A Neighborhood Designed for the Executive Lifestyle

McKinley West’s charm lies in its balance of sophistication and function.

  • Residential Excellence – Condominiums such as Park McKinley West and The Albany attract upwardly mobile professionals seeking proximity to BGC and the airport, while McKinley West Village offers bespoke lots for custom homes—a rarity in central Taguig.
  • Retail & Leisure – The upcoming Park McKinley West Mall will add a curated mix of restaurants, cafés, and boutique retail, complementing nearby lifestyle destinations like the Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley Hill and BGC High Street.
  • Green Corridors & Walkability – Wide pedestrian lanes and landscaped roads create a relaxed, European-inspired atmosphere. Green pockets and pocket parks are integral, not ornamental—adding value to both residents and enterprises seeking a wellness-oriented workplace.

Together, these elements create a township that draws a discerning community of residents, business leaders, and global professionals who view real estate not merely as space, but as a reflection of how they live and work.

Location Intelligence: The Competitive Edge

For C-suite decision-makers, location is strategy. And few locations in Metro Manila offer McKinley West’s combination of connectivity, brand equity, and scalability.

  • Connectivity – The Lawton–Kalayaan Bridge links BGC to Ortigas in under 15 minutes, while arterial roads like Lawton Avenue and the future Metro Manila Subway (Lawton East Station) will further enhance mobility.
  • Talent Access – Sitting between Makati, Pasay, and Taguig, McKinley West provides direct reach to major residential catchments—crucial for recruitment and retention in hybrid work models.
  • Cost Efficiency – Compared to mature CBDs, emerging nodes like McKinley West offer newer infrastructure, flexible lease options, and lower occupancy costs—while preserving the same urban convenience and prestige.

Why Business Leaders Choose McKinley West Now

Executives and corporate real estate leaders increasingly view McKinley West as a future-ready location—engineered for the new demands of operational flexibility and workplace efficiency.

Prestige Meets Purpose

Being beside Forbes Park and BGC gives instant brand credibility, but what makes McKinley West valuable is its ability to merge image with performance.

Built-in Resilience

Wide road networks, redundant utilities, and planned green mobility zones offer a safer, more reliable operating environment—a factor global firms now weigh as heavily as rent.

Institutional Demand Momentum

The Bonifacio Capital District’s future government presence ensures sustained foot traffic, civic investment, and service-sector demand that stabilize long-term value.

Integrated Lifestyle Ecosystem

Employees gain walkable access to residences, fitness centers, dining, and parks—reducing commute fatigue and boosting workplace satisfaction.

Enterprise-Ready Infrastructure and PEZA Options

McKinley West isn’t just a residential success story—it’s a serious business address. PEZA-accredited towers such as Robinsons Cyber Sigma are already home to multinational firms, outsourcing companies, and tech enterprises. The area’s large floor plates (3,400–3,500 sqm) and redundant power and network systems meet enterprise-grade operational requirements.

What differentiates McKinley West from traditional CBDs is the availability of flexible space—ideal for companies pursuing an agile footprint strategy. Rather than locking into long-term leases, many organizations are choosing managed workspace partners that allow them to scale up or down as their business cycles shift.

This is where KMC’s presence at Cyber Sigma bridges the gap between infrastructure and execution—offering businesses a ready-built platform to operate, grow, and thrive.
