Room with a view at the Fort/ BGC

We recently received the keys to our new condo unit at the Bonifacio Global City (BGC). It took a while for the turnover as the project was delayed by the pandemic when construction had to be halted due to the lockdowns. Fast forward to the present and we can now start enjoying this investment. We just have to fit out the unit as the finishes and furnishings are quite basic. Here are some of the views from the condo.

The view from our new condo unit - those are the distant mountains of Antipolo in the background. The wide road below is 38th Street.

A close-up reveals the Pasig River and the C5 bridge.

The 4-leg intersection is 38th and 9th, while the 3-leg intersection is 38th and 10th. The low buildings are part of the Uptown Mall.

While we won't be residing there, we would probably consider it another home away from home, and an option should the need arise for us to stay in the area. I, for one, might be using the unit if the pandemic situation stabilizes and I would need to travel again. BGC is conveniently close to the airport and an ideal place to stay prior to or after a flight. Traffic can be very bad and before the pandemic, what used to be an hour's drive from/to Rizal to/from the airport can take 2+ hours.
