Shangri La Fort Bonifacio
Posted on Mar 24 2009 | Filed in: Metro Manila, Taguig City
Have you heard about the Shangri-La Group’s plan to build a 6-star hotel and luxury residences project at The Fort? This is great for you who are looking for a Fort Bonifacio condo in Taguig City. The 3BR, 3-bathroom units range from P35 million to P37 million (prices subject to change without prior notice).
BCDA President and CEO Narciso Abaya said the site of Shangri-La for the project is the 1.2-hectare lot owned by the government beside the City Center of the Bonifacio Global City.
The lot, formerly known as the Government Center for Investment, is also the area being eyed by the real-estate and entertainment tycoon Donald Trump for a planned integrated complex project. This is a welcome development in the overall development of the Bonifacio Global City.
The Bonifacio Global City is only a few minutes away from the Makati and Ortigas Central Business Districts, the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and major thoroughfares like C-5.
The Global City also has world-class infrastructure including an underground drainage detention structure with the capacity to hold 22 million liters of water and release it under controlled conditions to prevent floods. It also has a fiber optic cabling network to support a wide range of telephone, video and data applications.
Estimated Opening: 2012
At over 60 storeys, comprising 500 guestrooms and 234 luxury residential apartments, the building is destined to become a Manila landmark. The new hotel will complement the company’s five existing hotel properties in the Philippines and the Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa.
The mixed-use business, residential and retail tower will be located along the 5th Avenue and 30th Street, within the new, fast-developing Taguig business district. A 30-minute drive from the international airport, the hotel will also be close to the Manila Golf and Polo Club, and 10 minutes from Makati district, the capital’s financial, cultural and entertainment hub with first-class shopping malls.
Guestrooms will range in size from 52 square metres for a standard room to 260 square metres for a Horizon Club room.
The Horizon Club, Shangri-La’s exclusive retreat for discerning travellers, will offer a host of special amenities and privileges,including a lounge for daily breakfast and cocktails, meeting rooms,and express check-in and check-out services.
Dining and entertainment options will include an all-day cafe, delicafe, specialty restaurant, Chinese restaurant, lobby lounge, poolside bar and barbecue, and an entertainment and bar area that will occupy two levels and have its own direct street access.
An extensive health club, swimming pools and tennis courts will provide a choice of recreational activities.
The hotel will feature over 4,600 square metres of meeting and banqueting facilities including a grand ballroom, junior ballroom, 11function rooms, boardroom, business centre, individual teleconferencing room and a 350-square-metre high-end outdoor event area.
Shangri-La has named US-based Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP as architect and Hirsch Bedner Associates will undertake the interior design for guestrooms and main lobby. The tower will present a contemporary yet timeless design with the facade of the building tapering skyward, maximizing the ocean view.
Skidmore, Owings and Merrill will be the architects for the project.

Hi.. I have a friend who’s interested to invest at The Shang at the fort… is this a condotel? I used to be an in house property consultant before with other developers. I want to ask for details and eventually can refer the client to you. Do you give referral fee? Thanks
