Connecting You to the Storied Past and Vibrant Future
If there is one shopping and entertainment destination in Metro Manila that both the younger generations and the “more matured” ones share memorable experiences, that would most likely be the Araneta City. This 35-hectare private estate in the heart of Cubao, Quezon City, used to be a barren land more than seven decades ago. Today, it has become a melting pot not only of shopping and entertainment, but also transportation, business and lifestyle.
Our grandparents might recall how this property was so empty, until the world’s biggest covered dome was built at its center. Some of our Lolos and Lolas might have watched the “Thrilla in Manila” at the Araneta Coliseum in 1975, or perhaps the coronation of Gloria Diaz and Margie Moran in the Binibining Pilipinas before they competed to get the Miss Universe crown. Our fathers and mothers probably have spent their romantic dates watching the concerts of the music icons in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Many millennials might have witnessed the breathtaking circus and acrobatics shows at the Big Dome, or cheered live at the heated championships of their favorite PBA teams in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, while the younger Gen Z’s perhaps have always been present in UAAP or NCAA main events.
Holiday seasons at the Araneta City have also been memorable to Filipino kids across different eras, from the entertaining shows of COD or Christmas On Display from the 1960’s until 2002, the “Disney On Ice” shows, and the giant Araneta Christmas Tree. Even it’s not the Yuletide months, the Fiesta Carnival, which used to be the largest roofed carnival in Asia, brought year-long fun to people of all ages. In 2018, some of these carnival rides are back together with the COD nightly shows during the Christmas season.
Aside from entertainment, there are surely more sentimental memories that many people share at the Araneta City—from bus rides to provinces or daily rides to school via LRT-2, or even splurging into shopping and celebrating special occasions in many of its restaurants. As Araneta City enters into a new era of extreme transformation, people who live and visit here can expect nothing but the best and the most vibrant future ahead. In the coming years, a balikbayan who has not been to Araneta City for quite some time will tremendously be amazed with the changing of its cityscape, as more shopping malls, office buildings, hotels and condominium towers will be rising soon.
Part of this redevelopment masterplan is the residential component, where the Araneta Group partnered with topnotch developer Megaworld Corporation. As of today, 11 out of the 18 towers of Manhattan Gardens have been built and occupied by privileged residents. The construction of its 12th tower, Manhattan Plaza Tower 2, is currently under way and will soon be completed. Aspiring homebuyers can choose among executive studios, 1-bedroom suite, and 2-bedroom homes, that all come with their own balconies or patios. No down payment and zero interest schemes can be availed when you reserve a condo unit today.
Residents of Manhattan Gardens can get connected to a wide array of recreational amenities such as 4th level landscaped gardens, refreshing swimming pools and water features, spacious multi-purpose courts and play areas, fully-equipped fitness gyms, among others. Selected towers and floors also have their own Sky Gardens. When you are right within your 5.7-hectare community, where all the residential phases are interconnected by footbridges and garden walkways, you will experience an urban enclave that lets you connect to nature and to your vibrant neighborhood, while indulging in ultimate privacy and exclusivity.
You will also get connected to the dynamic Araneta City as you can conveniently walk along safe and secure footbridges and pathways from your condominium community towards your neighboring shopping malls, dining and entertainment spots, and numerous transportation hubs. Take the MRT-3, LRT-2, city and provincial buses, UV express vans, public utility jeeps, and even a point-to-point bus going to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, right at your own doorstep.
The storied past of the Araneta City will forever be cherished in our hearts. Make sure that you will be part of its exciting and vibrant future as well. Live at the Manhattan Gardens and enjoy this lifestyle of connectivity.
