These buildings and many more have mushroomed not really overnight but in so short a time. I have been able to watch the developments in the place since the time that old structures were being torn down to give way to new roads and zones.
I have had the “opportunity” to experience the gradual build-up of traffic in the area, especially when the new McKinley Hill began to open its doors.
I seldom pass through that area during the afternoon rush hour simply because no matter how much “rush” you want to go, the travel time from Gate 3 of the Fort Bonifacio to McKinley Road, a distance of about a kilometer and a half, will almost always take about 20 to 25 minutes, if you are lucky!
There are still a lot of vacant spaces as can be seen in the foreground. But I suspect that these lots are simply vacant, although these have been purchased even at sky-high cost.
By my reckoning, the lots in this part of town are possibly one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive real state in the entire country. Sinong nagsabi na naghihirap ang Pinas?
