FortBonifacioRent - Blog & City Guides

Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has a large advantage over other residential/business districts such as Makati and Ortigas: it was thoroughly planned from conception to current development.As part of this up-and-coming city’s development plan, open spaces take precedence over simply plopping down a high-rise office building on every block. Welcome to the home of souls passionate for personal health, fitness, and wellness!

 

Parks and Green Spaces

There are two main activity parks flanking BGC’s main artery, Bonifacio High Street.

Sundays are Run Days

On virtually every Sunday of the calendar year, Bonifacio Global City hosts at least one run, from short fun runs to long-distance road races. The running community of BGC is quite large, as the city is a very popular training venue for runners due to the clean air, wide roads, and organized traffic. To cater to this large running community, there are three main facilities at Bonifacio Global City.
