Palm Beach Villas - LOCATION

Palm Beach Villas is in the neighbourhood of malls like Bluebay Walk and SM Mall of Asia. It's a few minutes away from schools like De La Salle University, UP Manila, St. Scholastica's College, College of St. Benilde and Manila Tytana Colleges. And access to transportation hubs like MRT, LRT, ferry and the airport is very easy.

Palm Beach Villas is located inside Bay City, specifically within the Metro Park. This emerging business and lifestyle district is right in the heart of Pasay City. On the south side, it covers some parts of Parañaque City. It is being dubbed as an up and coming business capital in Metro Manila. Before it was Bay City, it was first known as Boulevard 2000. It is a reclamation area on Manila Bay. This vast tract of reclaimed land also straddles parts of Manila, the capital city, and Parañaque City. The project began in 1977.

Today, it is best known as the location of SM Mall of Asia, as well as various entertainment complexes including casinos, theaters, amusement parks, hotels, and residential compounds. As part of planned development projects, an ‘Entertainment City’—positioned to be an Asian destination for gaming and leisure—is being constructed in the area. Hotels like Solaire Resort and Casino and City of Dreams Manila are part of this project.

Though it is on the side of Manila, the renowned Cultural Center of the Philippines also occupies this area. The southern side includes a financial center which houses the Philippine National Bank complex, World Trade Center Manila, and the Philippine Trade Training Center. Bay City, specifically Metro Park, is also seen as a major development center in the coming years. Major business process outsourcing (BPO) companies are looking to set up shop in this area, especially with continuous construction projects aimed at improving the city’s transport system. Palm Beach Villas provides the perfect home address for urban professionals in this industry.

The Bay City area is also close to main thoroughfares like EDSA, Roxas and Macapagal Boulevards so travelling to and from Palm Beach Villas is not an inconvenience, whether driving or commuting. Three expressways run through Pasay City. These are Metro Manila Skyway, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the new NAIA Expressway which serves Terminals 2 and 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

While not as much a top choice for residential buildings as Makati City or Taguig City, Pasay City is proving itself to be a strong contender. The city itself hosts some of the country’s top corporations and industries including Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, LBC Express and snack company Oishi. Several national offices are also located in this city, including but not limited to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Senate of the Philippines, Manila International Airport Authority, Civil Aeronautics Board, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.

This master-planned development provides residents easy access to everything that they need to live comfortably in the big city. It is in close proximity to the events places like Le Pavilion and Le Parc—top choices for major events like weddings and anniversary celebrations. The sprawling lifestyle destination Blue Bay Walk is also just a few steps away. It hosts several restaurants and shopping centers, and has been a favorite leisure destination for nearby residents. Within Blue Bay Walk, there is no shortage of food and retail choices. Whether its shoe shopping, salon visit or pet grooming, this lifestyle hub is a must-visit. Blue Bay Walk also features wide open spaces—landscaped parks, walkways and a massive parking area. For more retail, leisure and dining options, one of Asia’s biggest malls, SM Mall of Asia, is a stone’s throw away.

For families with school-age children, nearby schools include Manila Tytana Colleges, De La Salle University, University of the Philippines Manila, St. Scholastica’s College, College of St. Benilde and Singapore School Manila, to name a few. International and domestic airports are very close by, as well as MRT, LRT and ferry stations. For residents who work in the country’s more popular central business districts in Makati and Taguig, Bay City is under half an hour away.

For residents who want to bring relatives and friends for a night out in the city, top casino and business hotels are located nearby, including Maxim’s Hotel, Marriott Hotel Manila, Okada Manila, Radisson Hotel, and Sofitel Philippine Plaza. The United States and Japanese embassies are also easily accessible to residents, especially for those who travel frequently to these countries.

Palm Beach Villas residents will also be happy to know that the area is flood-free, thanks to an effective flood-control system that works to keep flood waters out of the vicinity even during heavy rains. The Central Business Park inside the Bay Area has its own flood control system which keeps drainage pipes unobstructed and unclogged by trash and leaves, thus allowing the drainage system to handle flood water. This simple yet inherently complex mechanism helps keep the area flood-free. As any long-time resident of the metro knows, flooding is a constant struggle of living in Manila especially during the monsoon season. A property located in a flood-free area is definitely a premium investment and a major factor when choosing where to live.
