One Ayala, also known as One Ayala Avenue, is an under construction mixed-use development developed by Ayala Land located at Ayala Center in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. The development is located across Glorietta mall and occupies the former InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark sites. One Ayala 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

InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark in 2012

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 convention center, seamlessly integrating to existing developments within the area.[5][7]

The Point-to-Point (P2P) bus terminal opened on July 18, 2022, with the mall being partially opened, gradually progressing since then.[8] The EDSA Carousel stop and additional bus bays were later opened on November 18, 2022,[9] and were followed by the opening of the PUV terminal at the lower ground level on March 20, 2023, thus completing the One Ayala Terminal.[10] Basement 1 parking for the mall and a Robinsons Supermarket branch followed suit on August 3, 2023.[11][12] On April 19, 2024, Spaces at One Ayala, the first trade halls in Makati at Level 5, hosted its inaugural event.[13]

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 and trade halls, three office towers, and a hotel.[7] 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

Transportation hub at the upper ground level

The transportation hub, known as One Ayala Terminal, is located at the Upper and Lower Ground Levels of the complex. It occupies an area of 390,000 m2 (4,200,000 sq ft).[14] At the Upper Ground Level are the bus bays of city and point-to-point (P2P) buses, accessible through EDSA and Ayala Avenue, respectively. EDSA provides access to three bus bays for southbound Ayala Station of the EDSA Carousel and other southbound city and provincial buses, while Ayala Avenue provides access to the P2P Carousel lane for P2P buses, pick-up and drop-off points, and an Electric Vehicle (EV) Fast-Charging station.[15][16][17] These bays also host Tripko and Beep reloading stations and food kiosks. Additionally, a friendship mural is found at this level. On the Lower Ground Level, the PUV terminal features nine gates, with the first two serving as entrances and the rest as boarding gates for traditional jeepneys and UV Express routes coming from Ayala Center.[18][19][20][21][22]

Atrium and concourse

The transport hub is located within a five-storey shopping mall that is managed by Ayala Malls.[27] 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.[28] 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.[29][30] Located at Level 5 are Space at One Ayala, which has four trade halls totaling 2,700 m2 (29,000 sq ft),[31] a multi-purpose court, and the future headquarters of Ayala Malls.[1][2][3][7][14][32][33]

The Level 2 walkways and bridges connect the complex to various key locations: McKinley Exchange Corporate Center (location of the EDSA-Ayala terminal of BGC Bus), the adjacent northbound Ayala Station of the EDSA Carousel, a Shell gas station at the EDSA–McKinley Road intersection, the Ayala station of the MRT Line 3, and SM Makati, which is also accessible directly from Level 3.[34] Another walkway will connect the complex to Glorietta.[28]

Office towers

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

One Ayala Tower 1, also known as the One Ayala West Tower, has 21 floors and is operational.[35] Situated closer to EDSA, it hosts the Philippine headquarters of Microsoft, which moved from 6750 Ayala Avenue to Tower 1 in 2022.[36][37] On the other hand, One Ayala Tower 2, also known as the One Ayala East Tower, has 29 floors and is expected to top off in 2024.[38][19] Both Towers 1 and 2 are situated at the Ayala Avenue side of the development, with a combined space of 85,000 m2 (910,000 sq ft).[39]

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).[40][41] Initially planned as a leasable condominium building, it is set to open in 2024.[42]

Seda One Ayala

One Ayala will host a Seda Hotels branch.[39] Intended to be a flagship project, the Seda One Ayala will have 413 rooms.[2][43] It is set to open in 2024.[44]

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.[34][45] 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.

Awards

In 2017, One Ayala was shortlisted out of 400 entries from 68 countries at the 2017 World Architecture Festival.[46][47][48] The project of One Ayala Towers 1 and 2 won the High-Rise Structures Category in the 2022 Philippines Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards.[49] 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.[50]

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.[51]

Incidents

  • March 16, 2020: A fire broke out at the seventh floor of the under-construction One Ayala Tower 1 (West Tower) at 1:39 p.m. PHT. It was extinguished after the first alarm, 36 minutes later.[52][53]
  • April 3, 2024: During a power interruption at One Ayala, a smoke from the mall was observed, leading to a fire report that was later debunked. The mall clarified that the smoke came from the exhaust of its generator set, which was activated during the interruption. Power was restored shortly after.[54]
