Area Overview
Ortigas Center is Metro Manila's second-largest central business district and the heart of the Philippines' BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) industry. Spanning Mandaluyong and Pasig, Ortigas offers a compelling combination of corporate demand, growing residential development, and significantly lower entry prices than BGC or Makati. The area is anchored by SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, and an array of multinational companies. Rental demand from BPO workers and corporate staff is consistently strong, particularly for 1BR and 2BR units. While infrastructure lags behind BGC, ongoing transit improvements and urban redevelopment are elevating Ortigas into a legitimate mid-high investment destination. For investors seeking higher yield relative to entry price, Ortigas delivers solid fundamentals.
