MANILA, Philippines – Imagine hot and scintillating Manhattan in New York City. Now, imagine an oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. Put them together and what do you have? Manhattan Garden City, that’s what! Araneta Center, itself a pulsating shopping, business, leisure, and lifestyle destination, is home to Manhattan Garden City. Jorge Araneta, CEO of the Araneta Group, who lived in Manhattan for many years, was enamored with the vibrant lifestyle of Manhattan that goes on 24/7. Living the corporate life or watching the stocks rise and fall on Wall Street, shopping till you drop on Fifth Avenue, enjoying a show on Broadway or a heart-stopping basketball championship at Madison Square Garden, breathing the luxe life at the Upper East Side, perking up your day with your favorite coffee and a stroll around Central Park, or catching a ride at the subway — Araneta, a forward-looking industrialist, wanted Filipinos living in the city to experience the same urban lifestyle at the Araneta Center. And Megaworld is happy to partner with the Araneta Group in fulfilling this vision. |
