History

One Ayala occupies the site where the InterContinental Manila hotel and EDSA Carpark once stood. The InterContinental hotel was planned to close around 2014, where plans to build a mixed-use development in the hotel's place was also publicized. It was envisioned as part of Ayala Land's ₱65-billion redevelopment of the Makati Central Business District.[1] The hotel would ceased operations on December 31, 2015,[2] and was demolished.

The mixed used development would be named after its address 1 Ayala Avenue. It is a 390,000 m2 (4,200,000 sq ft) transport-oriented development which features two office towers, a condominium-for-lease building, a hotel, and a five-level 54,700 m2 (589,000 sq ft) mall and transportation hub, seamlessly integrating to existing developments within the area.[3]

The P2P Bus Terminal opened on July 18, 2022,[4] while the EDSA Carousel stop and additional bus bays opened on November 18, 2022.[5]

Features

Mall and transport hub
Transport hub

The transport hub at the Upper Ground Level of the complex is currently served by the southbound Ayala Station of the EDSA Carousel, along with the terminus of other city buses going to southern Metro Manila, Laguna and Cavite, all accessible through EDSA. A terminal or bus stop for P2P buses going to different parts of Metro Manila, Laguna, and Rizal is situated at the Ayala Avenue side of the development.[6]

A jeepney and UV Express terminal will also be built at the mall's Lower Ground Level.[7] The Level 2 walkways and bridges connect the transport hub to the McKinley Exchange Corporate Center where the EDSA-Ayala terminal of BGC Bus is located, the northbound Ayala Station of the EDSA Carousel situated beside the building, and to the Ayala station of the MRT Line 3.

Within the transport hub is a five-storey mall managed by Ayala Malls, which is set to fully open in the third quarter of 2023.[7] It will have a gross leasable space of 54,700 m2 (589,000 sq ft).[8] It is expected to feature a trade hall and a multi-purpose court at Level 5 and a Robinsons Supermarket branch.[3]

Office towers
Not to be confused with Ayala Tower One.

The One Ayala Towers 1 & 2, with 21 and 29 floors, respectively, are PEZA-registered office buildings located at the Ayala Avenue side of the development, with a combined space of 85,000 m2 (910,000 sq ft).[9] One Ayala Tower 1 (also known as the One Ayala West Tower)[10] is already operational, whereas One Ayala Tower 2 (also known as the One Ayala East Tower)[11] is expected to top off in 2024.[7] One of its major tenants is the Philippine headquarters of Microsoft, which moved from its 6750 Ayala Avenue space to One Ayala Tower 1 in 2022.[12][13]

Hotel and condominium

One Ayala will host a Seda Hotels branch and a condominium building.[9]

Intended to be a flagship project, the Seda One Ayala will have 413 rooms.[14] It is set to open in 2024.[15]
