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.

History

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 (now East and West Towers, respectively), began its construction in June 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, coinciding with the partial opening of the mall, which gradually progressed 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 access to Ayala MRT station 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]

Features

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.

Mall and transport hub

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] It is accredited by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). [19]

At the Upper Ground Level are the bus bays of city and point-to-point (P2P) buses, accessible through EDSA and Ayala Avenue. 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. [20] [21] [22] Tripko and Beep contactless smart card reloading stations, food kiosks, and a friendship mural are also located at this level. [23]

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. [24] [25] [26] It is accessible via Ayala Avenue and features a vehicular exit at Courtyard and Station Drives.

At Level 2 are the pedestrian access points to Ayala station of the MRT Line 3 (MRT-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] There will be walkways that will connect the complex to Glorietta 4 and 5, respectively. [29]

The transport hub is located within a five-storey shopping mall, known as Ayala Malls One Ayala, that is managed by Ayala Malls. [36] Built at the podium of the complex, the mall has a gross leasable space (GLA) of 54,700 m2 (589,000 sq ft) and is expected to house more than 400 retail stores. [29] It features a Robinsons Supermarket branch at the Lower Ground Level, a concourse for events at Level 2, Tech Central at Level 4, and al fresco dining from Levels 2 to 4. [37] [38] Level 5 includes Space at One Ayala and the headquarters of Ayala Malls. [7] [3] [1] [2] [18] [39] [40] Space at One Ayala has four trade halls, the first of its kind in Makati, totaling 2,700 m2 (29,000 sq ft) and six meeting rooms. [41] [42] [43]

In addition, the mall is equipped with other environmental features such as all-LED lighting, fresh air ducts, and multi-gas testing devices that monitor carbon monoxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, and combustible levels in the building. [19]

Office towers

One Ayala has three office towers, all PEZA-registered and developed by Ayala Land Offices.

One Ayala East Tower, also known as One Ayala Tower 1 and OAA BPO Tower 1, has 21 floors and is operational, having topped off in December 2021. [44] [45] Situated closer to EDSA, it notably hosts the Philippine headquarters of Microsoft, which moved from 6750 Ayala Avenue in 2022. [9] [46] On the other hand, One Ayala West Tower, also known as One Ayala Tower 2 and OAA BPO Tower 2, [47] has 29 floors. [9] [24] It notably hosts the Makati office of Optum Global Solutions Philippines. [48] Both East and West Towers are situated at the Ayala Avenue side of the development, with a combined space of 85,000 m2 (910,000 sq ft). [49]

One Ayala South Tower is located at the Courtyard Drive side of the development, with a GLA of 12,000 or 13,230.4 m2 (129,167 or 142,411 sq ft). [50] [51] [52] Initially planned as a leasable condominium building, it was opened in 2024. [53]

Seda One Ayala

One Ayala will host a Seda Hotels branch. [49] Intended to be a flagship project, Seda One Ayala is operated by One Makati Hotel Ventures, Inc. and will feature 431 rooms. [1] [54] [44] It is set to open in 2025. [55] [56]

Parking

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] [57] 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.

Sports

One Ayala is also a known sports destination, with facilities such as the One Ayala Pickleball Club and the One Ayala Table Tennis Academy. The One Ayala Pickleball Club offers daily open play sessions and weekend clinics. It once had makeshift pickleball courts at Level 2 concourse and a permanent court at the PUV terminal until the club relocated to Activate One on Level 5 on March 1, 2025. [58] [59] On the other hand, the One Ayala Table Tennis Academy provides unlimited play, VIP rentals, and private coaching at the table tennis facility at the PUV terminal, which replaced the pickleball court. [60]

Awards

In 2017, One Ayala was shortlisted out of 400 entries from 68 countries at the 2017 World Architecture Festival. [61] [62] [63] The project of One Ayala Towers 1 and 2 won the High-Rise Structures Category in the 2022 Philippines Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards. [64] It also won the 2022 People's Choice Award at the 8th Annual American Concrete Institute (ACI) Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards. The project was nominated by the ACI Philippines Chapter and entered in the high-rise structures category. [65]

In 2023, One Ayala Towers 1 and 2 were awarded as Best Office Development in the Philippines in the Asia Pacific segment of the International Property Awards 2023. [66]

In 2024, Ayala Malls earned the ESG Initiative of the Year - Philippines award at the Retail Asia Awards for the success of Ayala Malls One Ayala. [19]
