Greenbelt is a mixed-use development featuring restaurants, entertainment venues, shopping outlets, and housing located within Ayala Center, a 36.8-hectare (91-acre) mixed-use complex in Makati City, one of Manila’s premier business districts. Built during the 1970s, Greenbelt 1 offers convenience and food services for daytime office workers. In addition to its 28 two- and three-story rental units, Greenbelt 2 was designed as a place for “power lunches” and high-end dining. Greenbelt 4 is an upscale retail destination and Greenbelt 3, the most prominent component of the project, is aimed at professionals in their 20s to 40s with food, shopping, and entertainment options. Greenbelt 3’s four-level complex has two distinct faces. The street-facing facade has a unified row of shopfronts, while the interior faces a park with its curvilinear form that incorporates public pathways terraced up to outdoor seating and dining areas for restaurants and cafés.
