The Ayala Center is a recreational, shopping, dining, and entertainment development located in the heart of Makati. It is bounded by Ayala Avenue, Dela Rosa Street, and Legazpi Street to the north, Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) to the east, Arnaiz Avenue to the south, and to the west by Paseo de Roxas. The Ayala station of MRT Line 3 serves the area.[2]

Today, the complex includes several malls, each with its own shopping and restaurant arcades and cinemas; three department stores, a number of hotels; and the Ayala Museum, showcasing exhibits on Philippine history and art.

History

Ayala Center's predecessor, the Makati Commercial Center, was built in 1960.[3] It consisted of several small arcades (Maranaw Arcade, Makati Arcade, Angela Arcade, Lising's Commercial, Mayfair Center, Bricktown, Anson's), theaters (Rizal Theater and Quad Cinemas), freestanding retail outlets (including Makati Supermart, Sulo Restaurant, Automat Restaurant, Rustan's, Shoe Mart and Mercury Drug), open parks, and hotels (including Manila Garden Hotel and InterContinental Hotel Manila).[4][5] It was later renamed as The Center Makati in the 1980s.[6]

The Ayalas decided to redevelop The Center Makati with the merging of existing structures in the 1990s into a new development that would cover over Шаблон:Convert of facilities.[1][7] To mark the change, it was renamed as the Ayala Center in 1991. Its redevelopment is ongoing by phases since the late 2000s, which includes the renovation and expansion of Glorietta and Greenbelt malls and replacing old buildings and open parking spaces with new office buildings, residential towers, hotels, and the One Ayala complex, respectively.[8][9]
