The ₱2.5-billion redevelopment of the 28-year-old Eastwood City, the company’s first township development aims to reimagine, reinvent, and revitalize the commercial areas, as well as select residential and office developments that have been in place for many years.

“Eastwood City holds a special place in our history as Megaworld’s very first township, and this redevelopment reflects our commitment to keeping it vibrant, relevant, and future-ready,” said Megaworld President Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso.

She noted that, “We are not only preserving its legacy but also reinventing it into a township of the future—setting an even higher standard for integrated urban living.”
