  • 5 Reasons You’ll Love Living & Working in Makati

    Being the most centralized city in Metro Manila, Makati is the most preferred place for investors as of its current stats with over 62,000 establishments, 27 major call centers, 10 Major IT companies and 461 main bank offices. In addition to that, the common forms of public transportations such as MRT and LRT that connects to other cities in Metro Manila ensures accessibility and convenience in getting into the place.

    For the working class, Makati is a stepping stone towards greater opportunities. While some folks are still mocking against the heavy traffic, living and working in Makati has its perks and most of them have positive impact on your wallet. So what are the things that will make you fall in love with Makati as a place to live and as a place to work?

    Expat Haven

    If you are an individual who wish to experience working with foreigners without going abroad, Makati houses world-class companies with foreign nationals handling its operations. Since then, the place has developed transient support institutions for expats as of its current records with 54 embassies, 35 consulates and international organizations like UNICEF, IFC and WHO.

    Peace of Mind

    Among the cities in Metro Manila, Makati is the safest place to live and work. Back in 2004, both fire and police departments have been cited as the country’s best. To its current state, the city government has established the country’s first emergency facility and has been responding to medical emergencies and injuries occurred within the place.

    Green Spaces for healthier lifestyle

    In most cities in Metro Manila where roads have been congested and at the same time polluted, it seems like there is no place that promotes healthy lifestyle. In Makati, Ayala Avenue is only the major passage and so walking is the main mode of transportation. The place is also well-groomed with green spaces, safe pedestrians and paved sidewalks which make it more convenient to have a morning walk or jog.

    ICT-ready Place

    If you are an IT graduate or an expert in this field Makati CBD is a good place for you. To date, the city houses 7 ICT Zone buildings including RCBC Plaza, The Enterprise Center, MSE Center, GT Tower, Multinational Bancorporation, Exportbank Plazam and PBC making it the top choice for IT Locators.

    Live-work-play-learn neighborhoods

    With the mixed state-of-the art facilities, restaurants, hangouts and shopping centers Makati will sure fit in everyone’s lifestyle and makes it as ideal place to stay. It’s not just about never-ending workplaces. Here, you can conveniently learn, play and enjoy after a stressful day.

    • Hello Chabs, I love Makati but where exactly are these green spaces that ur referring to?

      There used to be some green spaces (Ayala Triangle) but because of greed, poor city planning, what ever the reason, there are no green spaces left in Makati.

      If I want to go for a run around a park, which Makati green space park who U recommend I run in?

      Comparing Makati to other global cities, it rates very poor - green space has been something that has been increasing in other cities.

      I also don't think Greenbelt counts as a green space…

    • Great to know about that!
