One Bonifacio High Street is a mixed-use development by Ayala Land Premier at the very heart of BGC. Completed in the year 2017, it is composed of a luxury shopping mall, a high-end boutique residence, and an office tower that is now currently the unified headquarters of the Philippine Stock Exchange (joining previous Makati and Ortigas offices).
It sits within the same 3-hectares block together where five-star hotel Shangri-la at the Fort is parted in between by BGC’s famous retail walkway–High Street and is fronting 5th Avenue–the district’s most prime avenue and one of the main thoroughfares.
