One Ayala, also known as One Ayala Avenue (OAA), is a mixed-use development developed by Ayala Land located at Ayala Center via EDSA (C-4) in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is located across Glorietta mall and occupies the former InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark sites. It aims to combine retail, hotel, and office facilities in a single contiguous space. Construction began in 2016 with the demolition of InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark and parts of the development opened in 2022.
One Ayala occupies the site where the InterContinental Manila hotel and EDSA Carpark once stood. The hotel was planned to close around 2014, coinciding with publicized plans to replace both the hotel and carpark with a mixed-use project, initially planned as a residential development. [4] It was envisioned as part of Ayala Land's ₱65-billion redevelopment of the Makati Central Business District. [5] The hotel would cease operations on December 31, 2015, [6] and was later demolished.
The mixed-use development would be named after its address 1 Ayala Avenue. It was planned to feature two office towers, a condominium building, a hotel, and a five-story mall with intermodal transportation hub and an exhibition center, seamlessly integrating to existing developments within the area. [5] [7] Its construction began in 2016, led by MDBI Construction Corporation, a Makati Development Corporation (MDC) subsidiary, which in turn is a subsidiary of Ayala Land. [8] The office towers, Towers 1 and 2, began its construction in 2017. Concreting works at both towers concluded in November 2020 and February 2021, respectively. [9]
The Point-to-Point (P2P) bus terminal opened on July 18, 2022, with the mall being partially opened, gradually progressing since then. [10] The relocated southbound EDSA Carousel stop and additional bus bays were later opened on November 19, 2022, [11] and were followed by the opening of the MRT access on December 1, 2022, and the PUV terminal at the lower ground level on March 20, 2023, completing the One Ayala Terminal. [12] Basement 1 parking for the mall and Robinsons Supermarket's 150th branch, also the first in Makati, were opened on August 3, 2023. [13] [14] Parking fees for the mall were initially waived every weekend until April 2024. [15] [16] On April 19, 2024, Spaces at One Ayala, the first trade halls in Makati located at Level 5, hosted its inaugural event. [17]
One Ayala, named after its address 1 Ayala Avenue, is a 390,000 m2 (4,200,000 sq ft) transport-oriented development which features a five-story 54,700 m2 (589,000 sq ft) mall with intermodal transportation hub, trade halls, three office towers, and a hotel. [7] It is designed by the architectural firm Visionarch. The lot it occupies measures 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) and is bounded by Ayala Avenue, EDSA, the inner streets of Ayala Center such as East Street and Courtyard Drive, and the pedestrianized access to Ayala station.
The intermodal transportation hub, known as One Ayala Terminal, spans from the Upper Ground Level to Level 2 of the complex, covering an area of 390,000 m2 (4,200,000 sq ft). [18]

EDSA provides access to three bus bays for southbound buses of the EDSA Carousel, other city and provincial buses primarily southbound, and some P2P buses. On the other hand, Ayala Avenue provides access to the P2P Carousel Lane for most P2P buses, a pick-up and drop-off point, and an Electric Vehicle (EV) Fast-Charging station. [19] [20] [21] Tripko and Beep contactless smart card reloading stations, food kiosks, and a friendship mural are also located at this level. [22]
On the Lower Ground Level is the PUV terminal, which features nine gates for traditional jeepneys and UV Express routes coming from Ayala Center, as well as a motorcycle taxi stop. [23] [24] [25] It is accessible via Ayala Avenue and features a vehicular exit at Courtyard and Station Drives. A permanent pickleball court is also located at the PUV terminal. [26]
At Level 2 are the pedestrian access points to Ayala station of the MRT Line 3, the Ayala Footbridge (connecting the complex to McKinley Exchange Corporate Center, which is the location of the EDSA-Ayala terminal of BGC Bus and the northbound Ayala stop of EDSA Carousel, and McKinley Road), and SM Makati, which is also accessible directly from Level 3. [27] [28] Another walkway will connect the complex to Glorietta 4. [29]

One Ayala has a four-level basement parking beneath the mall. It is accessible through entry points at Ayala Avenue and East Street, which also provides access to Glorietta's basement parking, with exit points within Ayala Center. [28] [54] Parking spaces for the mall are located at Basements 1 and 2, while those for the office towers are at Basements 3 and 4. There is a plan to link the basement parking with that of Glorietta.
