TAGUIG CITY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE & ZONING PLAN
PHYSICAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
The design process began with several geometries and strategies for the site’s
framework. Initial explorations included an organic framework, which would flow with
the topography and create unique design responses to the land, but would also lead to
less efficient land uses and a city which would lack “urbanity”.
A second design incorporated the grid pattern seen in most big cities, like New
York. It made more efficient use of the land but had more intersections and created a
static and boring city pattern.
These initial explorations led to a design, which would synthesize the best
elements of each pattern.

RESULTANT FRAMEWORK
The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then to fix in form.
Following the initial explorations, synthesis of the most attractive aspects of
each pattern resulted in hybrid geometric and grid framework. The final framework is
a combination of the practicality of a grid pattern, the clarity and beauty of a strong
geometric core, and the use of organic forms at the edges of the site to transition to
adjacent open spaces and effectively deal with the meandering property boundaries.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
The three most important things in real state: location, location, location.
Fort Bonifacio is 440 contiguous hectares of land located in Metro Manila’s most
strategic location. It is bordered by the country’s three(3) largest road arteries: the
South Luzon Expressway, EDSA and C-5. It is destined to become the country’s primary
business gateway, being just minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International
Airport. It is likewise less than 2 kilometers from Metro Manila’s other business
centers, where the highest priced properties are located, as well as being adjacent to
Forbes Park and Dasmariñas Village, the city’s most expensive residential districts.
Fort Bonifacio can also lay claim to having the best views in Metropolitan Manila.
At surface, Fort Bonifacio is cradled by Manila Golf and the American Battle Memorial.
At elevation, the city gives superb views of Laguna Lake, Manila Bay and its sunset , as
well as the surrounding mountain ranges.

THE VISION
Land is not inherited from our forefathers; rather, it is borrowed from our children.
children.
In order to appreciate FBDC’s business and marketing philosophy, it is important
to understand what Fort Bonifacio and FBDC are, and what they are not. Fort Bonifacio
will be a globally competitive metropolis, managed by the best real property company
in Asia. Fort Bonifacio is not merely a real estate, run by a company whose sole intent
and purpose is to dispose of the land at a desired profit margin.
As its primary business guideline, Fort Bonifacio intends to provide long term
value as well as significant returns to its various stakeholders. These include the
shareholders, the developers and building owners, the companies and residents and
daily visitors to the city, and many more. FBDC intends for all these stakeholders to
obtain the best value possible in their investment in Bonifacio, be it monetary or
otherwise.
A second business philosophy that drives FBDC is that Fort Bonifacio will
contribute significantly to nation building. Fort Bonifacio is expected to be a catalyst in
turbo changing the local economy, spurring on growth through infrastructure projects
and job creation. At the same time, Fort Bonifacio will be a major ingredient in
attracting foreign businesses, either as investors in the various projects related to the
city, or as tenants who will relocate in the Philippines. Finally, Fort Bonifacio will
revolutionize the construction and infrastructure industries, restoring the Philippine’s
competitive edge in the international marketplace.

congestion and inadequate infrastructure present a window of opportunity to FBDC. We
intend for the quality of our product, which will set us apart from the competition.
Part of Fort Bonifacio’s selling appeal as the “best product” in the market is its
strategic location and size. In addition to its geographic advantages, FBDC will put in
Fort Bonifacio infrastructure that will ensure Fort Bonifacio’s claim to being a globally
competitive metropolis. These projects would provide the essential impetus in
developing the commercial and business districts of the city.
The second marketing doctrine for FBDC is costumer intimacy. Both the price of
the product and the quality that we seek will tend to limit the number of prospects.
This allows FBDC to adopt a focused marketing approach, and to address the specific
needs of the market we are targeting.
Finally, Fort Bonifacio will be reasonably and competitively priced. All Fort
Bonifacio’s great features and costumer insight will not mean a thing if FBDC prices its
products out of the market.
At the geographic center of this region lies the Philippines. Once a focal point of
International trade, it had been buffeted by economic and political upheavals, which
left the country in the doldrums, while its Asian neighbors surged ahead with their
tiger economies. This was the story of the region… until now.
Key political and business reforms have put the Philippines back on track. These
magazine featured President Fidel V. Ramos and the country’s “magnificent” economic
turnaround. Forbes magazine called the Philippines a dragon in the making.

The first alternative would be to create a functional city. Seoul has often been
cited for its functionality, a market-driven “City Practical.” Singapore exemplifies the
next option. Singapore illustrates a systematic city, a “City that Works.” The next
choice would be an innovative city, like Portland, Oregon or Vancouver, Canada.
“National Cities” which employ sophisticated programs and solutions and concern
themselves with the interplay of the city’s various elements. The last category is that of

a visionary city. For this the shareholders looked at Paris at the turn of the century.
Paris has always been viewed as a “Global City” with a visionary urban environment.
After much thought and analysis, it was decide that the Fort Bonifacio
masterplan would employ an innovative development approach, but would utilize
visionary elements in the land scaping and environmental design of the city. The
resulting city would eventually become the country’s business nucleus as well as
gaining the reputation of being the region’s best city.
