Accomplished Reclamation Projects

Manila Bay:

Bay City Reclamation Project (formerly Boulevard 2000)

This project, located in the Cities of Pasay and Parañaque, is composed of the following island reclamation:

  • Central Business Park I-A
  • Central Business Park I- B & C
  • Central Business Park II
  • Asia World 

CBP 1-A

Central Business Park I - A (CBP I-A)

CBP I-A covers an area of 200 hectares. It is entirely located in the City of Pasay, contributing more than 10% to the city’s former land area of 1,900 hectares. The major land owners are the SM Group, the Metrobank Group of Companies, and the PRA. 

The Shrine of Jesus is the first landmark built in the area. Across it is the Mall of Asia which was opened in May 2006. The mall, one of the largest in Asia, spans a floor area of 386,000 square meters. With SM by the Bay, the Mall of Asia complex is possibly the largest single attraction in the entire metropolis. It has daily visitors reaching 100,000 and it employs more than 6,000 Pasay City residents.  CBP I-A is also home to Mall of Asia Arena, an ultra-modern events venue with a full-house capacity of 20,000 and facilities of NBA standard. 

The Metropolitan Park, owned by the Metrobank Group of Companies, is the home of Manila Tytana Colleges (formerly Manila Doctors College), Toyota Manila Bay Corp., Le Pavilion, Metrobank Branch, Bay Garden Condominiums, Petron Gas Station and Blue Wave, a complex of restaurants and commercial establishments.

A prominent part of CBP I-A is an esplanade adjacent to SM by the Bay. It is the new preferred recreation area for the public where people can freely access a view of the sea and of the famous Manila Bay sunset. 

Central Business Park I - B & C

A joint venture of PRA and R-1 Consortium, CBP B & C cover 210 hectares of reclaimed land. Bordered on the north by the Redemptorist Channel and Mall of Asia Arena in CBP I-A, and in the south by the Seaside Channel CBP-II and the Manila Bay Town Subdivision, the project stretches across the shoreline of Manila Bay with approximately 1.2 kilometers offshore with an approximate perpendicular distance of 1.5 kms.

Part of CBP B & C is PAGCOR’s Entertainment City where Solaire Resort & Casino stands. Opened in March 2013, Solaire Resort & Casino provided 4,600 managerial and entry-level jobs for Filipinos.  

Currently, CBP B & C is fast-becoming the new central business district of the City of Parañaque.

Central Business Park II

Entirely owned by Manila Bay Development Corporation, the 43-hectare area is home to Uniwide Coastal Mall and Metro Manila Development Authority’s Southwest Integrated Provincial Transport Terminal .  

The bus terminal operates 24-hours a day and dispatches 900 buses that serve approximately 54,000 passengers every day.(http://www.president.gov.ph/news/aquino-inspects-major-terminals-in-metro-manila/) It is part of a centralized, intermodal and integrated bus terminal system which aims to improve the mobility of people and the traffic situation within the road networks of Metro Manila.

This 173-hectare property, owned by the Tan Yu family is now a residential complex with infrastructure facilities already in place.
