Fort Street in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) has long been a vibrant hub for entertainment, dining, and fitness. Built by Ayala Land in the early 2000s, it played a crucial role in activating BGC, attracting businesses, residents, and investors when the city was still in its early stages of development. However, as of January 1, 2025, The Fort Street is no longer designated for business use, and the process of removing commercial structures has begun to make way for a new development.

The Role of Fort Street in BGC’s Growth
During BGC’s formative years, The Fort Street became synonymous with nightlife, fitness, and dining. It housed popular clubs, bars, gyms, and restaurants that made the area a go-to destination for entertainment. More than just a commercial strip, The Fort Street was instrumental in shaping BGC’s identity as a dynamic urban district.
Positioned near 5th Avenue—often dubbed the “Wall Street of New York” in the Philippines—The Fort Street was at the heart of BGC’s transformation. Its strategic location contributed to the area’s economic activity, helping BGC evolve into one of Metro Manila’s most sought-after business and lifestyle destinations.

What’s Next for Fort Street?
With The Fort Street having fulfilled its purpose, it is now being cleared for a more advanced commercial and office development. While official plans have yet to be disclosed, rumors suggest that the new project will integrate:
• Premium Office Spaces – A high-rise commercial development that could attract multinational companies and investors.
• Retail and Lifestyle Centers – A curated mix of retail and dining establishments to maintain the area’s vibrant atmosphere.
• A High Street Pathway – A pedestrian-friendly connection linking The Fort Street to East BGC and Serendra, ensuring accessibility and continuity with BGC’s walkable city concept.
Many are hopeful that the upcoming development will introduce a landmark skyscraper that defines BGC’s skyline, further cementing its status as a premier business and lifestyle district in the Philippines.
