Circuit Makati is a riverfront redevelopment project by Ayala Land on the site of the former Santa Ana Race Track in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. The 21-hectare (52-acre) site located in the northwest portion of Makati, on the south bank of the Pasig River, is planned to contain a mixed-use entertainment complex which would include an indoor theater, a shopping mall, hotels and residential and office skyscrapers. It would also contain a football turf, skate park and an outdoor entertainment area. [1] The development is envisioned to become the new entertainment district of Makati and the city's lifestyle hub.

Location

Circuit Makati occupies a large portion of barangay Carmona. It is bounded by the Pasig River on the north, Hippodromo and Herradura Streets on the south, Trabajo and Fortuna Streets to the east, and A.P. Reyes Avenue (which connects to Chino Roces Avenue) and H. Santos Street to the west. The district of Santa Ana in Manila, where Santa Ana Church and some of Santa Ana's historic houses are found, is within a few kilometers from the site. It is located just 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) north of the Makati CBD accessible via Ayala Avenue and South Avenue, and from Century City and Rockwell Center via J.P. Rizal Avenue and Kalayaan Avenue.

Ruins of the old Santa Ana Park near Circuit Makati

Circuit Makati had been occupied by the Santa Ana Park, a horse racetrack which operated from 1937 to 2008. Built in the Art Deco style, the racetrack was home to the Santa Ana Turf Club, the forerunner of what is now the Philippine Racing Club which introduced thoroughbred horse racing in the country. [1] Prior to its establishment as a sporting and recreation facility, the site was home to the Santa Ana Cabaret, a dance hall and music venue for Manila's high society in the early 1900s. [3]

In 2009, a year after the hippodrome was closed, the Philippine Racing Club opened its new home in the Santa Ana Park (Saddle and Clubs Leisure Park) in Naic, Cavite. The club then entered into a joint venture agreement with Ayala Land and its subsidiary, Alveo Land, in 2011 for the development of the property. [2]
