    • Mckinley Hill: A Taste of Europe in the Metro

     

    Mckinley Hill is a European-inspired lifestyle community that is home to an array of leisure spots and communities such as sophisticated residences, international schools and colleges, chic restaurants, shopping centers, and romantic hangouts. This 50-hectare development in Fort Bonifacio brings in a piece of romantic cities in Italy and Spain with its elegant Mediterranean-inspired landscape that is truly inviting. The atmosphere is quite different from its neighbor, Bonifacio Global City, which is dynamic and fast-paced. Although it is also home to many corporate offices, time in Mckinley Hill seems to move at a slower pace, passing slowly as the waters flowing calmly through the canals of Venice.

    Many people already know of Mckinley Hill’s main attraction—the Venice Grand Canal. However, Mckinley Hill has also been rising as a coveted dining and wellness spot. Now is the perfect time to explore this lovely urban destination.

    McKinley Hill is accessible via major roads coming from both the north and the south such as C-5 Road and Lawton Road. P2P buses also serve Mckinley Hill.
