The Link at Manhattan Garden City Araneta Center, Cubao

August. 29, 2014 – Araneta Center Inc. in partnership with Megaworld Corporation uncovered Manhattan Garden City’s most significant landmark yet, the transfer pavilion called as “The Link”.

Eight years ago, Araneta Center Inc. partnered with Megaworld Corporation to concretize a development plan of redesigning the historical Araneta Center by building an inner cityscape with a more upscale, vibrant genre of lifestyle. These visualizations of the parties gave birth to Manhattan Garden City which is an 18-tower development conceived to be a grand, New York style themed residential community. Also, the MGC boasts to be the Philippines’ biggest residential development and serves to complete the residential component of the Araneta Center layout wherein entertainment, retails and business flourish.

A traditional ribbon cutting ceremony by our recognized guests took place. It was shortly followed by the unveiling of the phrases which represent “The Link”, wherein “Bridging Traditions” stand for the legacy of the Araneta Center as one of our country’s historically significant entertainment locus. “Connecting Lives” simply means that this concourse functions as a central lobby that bridges two phases of the development together- the three- tower Manhattan Parkview and the three- tower Manhattan Parkway. It also links the Manhattan Garden City’s towers all the way to the Gateway Mall, the Smart Araneta Coliseum and to the mass transport systems. Each resident will live in the exclusive charm and notion of not having to set foot on lower ground, thus magnifying the exclusivity of the Manhattan feel in their community for the rest of their stay. Lastly, “Changing Lifestyles” signifies the historical link of how the Araneta Center together with Megaworld Corporation solidified visions their and progressively turned them into grand, luxurious abodes. The night proceeded with a scrumptious buffet dinner served by Eastwood Richmonde Hotel. A special guest from the noontime show A.S.A.P., Princess Velasco serenaded the guests with her soulful voice.

Soon it will ignite the celebration of life of its future dwellers. For more information about the Manhattan Garden City, contact 810-3333 or like us at Manhattan Garden City Official
