A refreshing environment conducive to learning, top-notch educational facilities and a vibrant community that encourages open exchange of ideas rise at the new business, lifestyle and educational hub in Fort Bonifacio. McKinley Hill is Megaworld’s latest and biggest township project that continues to redefine the way people live, play, work and learn.
An important facet of this pioneering 50-hectare development project is its educational component, which ushers in a new crop of cutting-edge schools. Leading it is Enderun Colleges, one of the best culinary and hotel management schools in the region guided by the vision of the 12-Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse. Apart from high-tech facilities, environment-friendly construction and highly experienced faculty, it has academic cooperation with leading culinary schools around the world, as well as a placement program upon graduation.
“We are glad that Enderun Colleges, the Chinese International School Manila and Korean International School Philippines have all located their new campuses within McKinley Hill. Our strong partnerships with them reflects our vision that the Philippines is competitive as ever in the global arena and that we have what it takes to be world-class,” Megaworld FVP for marketing and project head Noli Hernandez declared.
While the Chinese International School is now on its second year of operations, the Korean International School is nearing completion. These international schools may just become the nurturing ground for the future leaders of the region. The British and Korean embassies have also located within McKinley Hill to further drum up the new township’s international flavor.
Also adding to the university town feel is Woodridge Residences, a set of six-storey buildings each with their own convenience stores and service outlets at the ground floor. It is perfect for both local and foreign students rooming in together or call center employees who wish to be a stone’s throw away from their place of work. Woodridge Residences is surrounded by McKinley Hill Cyberpark’s business process outsourcing (BPO) buildings such as One, Two and Three World Square and 8 Park Avenue. It has its own forest park with lush foliage and flowering trees to inspire creativity and lend clean air to the surroundings.
Since giving young people the opportunity to interact and engage in leisurely activities is equally important, McKinley Hill built a one-of-a-kind Venetian Mall. This recreational facility is an Italian-inspired shopping center with a Grand Canal, gondolas and choice retail and dining outlets where young people can spend time with their friends, shop for the latest threads and eat at the hippest restaurants.
“We envision McKinley Hill to be the next hub for people of all ages, a place to see and be seen, and most of all, a place which has every conceivable facility you need. With the success of Eastwood City, we are more fired up to build lasting communities that allow people to celebrate life and everything in it,” Hernandez said.
McKinley Hill also provides straightforward access to Makati, Ortigas, and the airport via C5 and EDSA. The community’s main street, Upper McKinley Road, directly connects to McKinley Road and to Makati City’s main thoroughfare, Ayala Avenue.
With these international-caliber schools, McKinley Hill is definitely the best venue for raising families. To learn more about the prime residential options at McKinley Hill including the new The Venice Luxury Residences, please call 815-1888 or visit www.megaworldcorp.com.
