Bonifacio Global City

Bonifacio Global City (BGC), also known as Global City or The Fort, is a 240-hectare mixed-use estate and central business district located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Philippines. It is now the home of the Philippine Stock Exchange, the national stock exchange as well as several multinational corporations in the country. Some of the tallest buildings in the country are located in BGC such as the Metrobank Center, the country's tallest building. It experienced commercial growth following the sale of a 440 ha (1,100 acres) parcel of a military base by the Philippine government through the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) during the administration of Fidel Ramos. BGC used to be a part of the main camp of the Philippine Army known as Fort Bonifacio. Translated in Filipino as Pangdaigdigang Lungsod ng Bonifacio(PLB), it is common locally to refer the district by its English name and abbreviation due to being branded as "the international business district of the Philippines".
In 1995, First Pacific-owned Metro Pacific Corporation-formed Bonifacio Land Corporation (BLC) started planning a major urban development—Bonifacio Global City under a joint venture with the BCDA called Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC). The Ayala Corporation through Ayala Land, Inc., and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased a controlling stake in BLC from Metro Pacific in 2003. BCDA and the two companies currently control FBDC, which oversees the master planning & upkeep of the estate.
BGC was previously claimed by the City of Makati as part of its barangays Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, the two Inner Fort barangays which are part of the Enlisted Men's Barrios (EMBO) barangays that were eventually transferred to Taguig in 2023. Pateros also claims the area as part of its territory.
