Greening the grid: Makati’s Emerald Network takes shape
In the heart of Makati’s bustling business district, a quiet transformation is underway.
Ayala Land’s Emerald Network will connect the city’s parks and open spaces through pedestrian-friendly pathways and green corridors—making it easier, safer, and more enjoyable to walk around the city.
At the center of this network is the Ayala Triangle Gardens, a 2-ha park designed to bring nature closer to everyday life. Located near the Jaime C. Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village, Legazpi Active Park and Washington SyCip Park in Legazpi Village, and the upcoming Dela Rosa Gardens in Dela Rosa Street, it’s part of a growing chain of green spaces that offer shade, serenity, and a breath of fresh air amid the urban buzz.
More than just beautiful, these parks are built for purpose. They support passive cooling, help reduce urban heat, and encourage low-impact mobility through elevated walkways that link directly to MRT stations, malls, and offices.
It’s a thoughtful way to make Makati more livable—where nature and city life blend seamlessly.
With the Emerald Network, Makati is evolving beyond being the country’s premier business district. It’s a city being reshaped into a greener, more walkable environment—where open spaces don’t just decorate the grid, but actively support healthier, more sustainable urban life.
