Makati, long celebrated as the Philippines' financial epicenter, is cementing its reputation as a champion of urban sustainability with the upcoming completion of Dela Rosa Gardens. This sprawling new 2,600-square-meter park, set to open by the fourth quarter of 2028, is poised to become a vital green lung within the very core of the Makati Central Business District (CBD).
Located strategically near iconic green havens like Ayala Triangle Gardens, Legazpi Active Park, and Washington SyCip Park, Dela Rosa Gardens is the newest jewel in what developers are calling the "Emerald Network." This ambitious master plan aims to seamlessly connect Makati's existing and future green spaces through a thoughtful web of pedestrian walkways and shaded corridors, fostering a more breathable and walkable urban environment.

Developed by Ayala Land, the park reflects the real estate giant's steadfast commitment to sustainable development principles. Dela Rosa Gardens is designed with a suite of eco-conscious strategies, including energy-efficient infrastructure, native landscaping, and passive cooling designs. These features are not merely aesthetic; they are engineered to actively lower urban heat, promote biodiversity, and encourage low-impact mobility among its visitors.
"It is a space that invites people to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect — with nature and with each other," Ayala Land stated. "It’s a reminder that progress does not have to come at the cost of nature — and that with the right vision, even the busiest business district can bloom."
A key highlight of the new park is its direct connection to Makati’s elevated walkway system. This integration will provide commuters with shaded, convenient access to a vast network of offices, malls, vital transit hubs, and residential areas, significantly enhancing the pedestrian experience within the CBD.
Beyond its immediate environmental and recreational benefits, Dela Rosa Gardens also foreshadows future urban developments in the vicinity. An upcoming Ayala Land Premier residential project is already in the pipeline just steps away, reinforcing the growing trend towards integrated, accessible urban living. The park's central location—adjacent to the BPI Civic Plaza and a short stroll from BPI Tower, cultural venues, schools, corporate towers, and hospitals—positions it as both a tranquil neighborhood refuge and a central feature of the city's evolving landscape.
Green spaces like these have already proven their value, transforming into popular venues for community events such as Art in the Park, lively weekend pop-ups, and the increasingly popular Car-Free Sundays. With Dela Rosa Gardens joining this esteemed network, Makati's journey from a bustling concrete jungle to a connected, breathable metropolis continues, one thoughtfully designed pocket park at a time.
