A legacy project of pioneering real estate developer Ortigas & Co., Ortigas Center is an approximately 100-hectare business district shared by Quezon City, Mandaluyong, and Pasig. |
As an important business district, Ortigas Center is home to numerous high-rise residential towers, all of which offer plenty of apartments for rent for people of any budget. |
The majority of Ortigas Center’s high-rise structures are found in Pasig, and it is where most of the business district’s apartments are also located. One of the newly built ones include Sapphire Bloc by Robinsons Residences, a four-tower complex bound by Onyx, Sapphire, and Garnet Streets near Ortigas Avenue. |
Another area close to Ortigas Center is Greenfield District, which is situated just across Shaw Boulevard. This burgeoning community is already home to BPO offices, restaurant strips, and a handful of apartment towers that cater to the mid- and upper mid-end market. |
A legacy project of pioneering real estate developer Ortigas & Co., Ortigas Center is an approximately 100-hectare business district shared by Quezon City, Mandaluyong, and Pasig. Bound by EDSA to the west, Ortigas Avenue to the northeast, Meralco Avenue to the west, and Shaw Boulevard to the southwest, it is one of Metro Manila’s most important financial and business districts, surpassed by only the Makati central business district (CBD) itself and Bonifacio Global City.
What started as a virtual wasteland in the 1970s, Ortigas Center was successfully developed and is now home to some of Metro Manila’s largest shopping malls, most notably Henry Sy’s SM Megamall, The Podium, Shangri-La Plaza, and Robinsons Galleria, all of which are located in the CBD’s Mandaluyong and Quezon City side. In the western section on the other hand, one will find Ortigas Center’s skyscrapers and financial centers, most notable of which is the second trading floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange. Although technically not within Ortigas Center, Capitol Commons and The Portico are often considered as part of the district, both of which are mixed-use developments by Ortigas & Co. and Alveo Land, respectively.
As an important business district, Ortigas Center is home to numerous high-rise residential towers, all of which offer plenty of apartments for rent for people of any budget. Where would prospective renters find these apartments? Practically in every corner of Ortigas Center!
A typical two-bedroom apartment here has an area of 70 square meters, and can be rented for about PHP 56,000 per month. Other residential towers in the Pasig side of Ortigas Center include Astoria Place, The Exchange Regency, and Alexandra Condominium, among others. An Ortigas apartment for rent on the Pasig side is not hard to find. The majority of Ortigas Center’s high-rise structures are found in Pasig, and it is where most of the business district’s apartments are also located. One of the newly built ones include Sapphire Bloc by Robinsons Residences, a four-tower complex bound by Onyx, Sapphire, and Garnet Streets near Ortigas Avenue.
There are a handful of other areas in Pasig that are technically outside the jurisdiction of Ortigas Center but are often associated with the business district. One of which is Capital Commons, a mixed-use township by Ortigas & Co. that eventually will become home to at least three high-rise residential towers (The Maven, The Imperium, The Royalton). Once completed, these three developments will offer apartments for rent in Ortigas that are aimed at people with different budget ranges.
