Bonifacio Global City station (also known as BGC station) is an underground rapid transit station under construction on the Metro Manila Subway (Line 9). Located along McKinley Parkway between Serendra and the Market! Market! commercial complex in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig, the station is designed as a core high-density transportation nexus for the central BGC business district.
History
[edit]The station is part of Contract Package 105 (CP 105), which was formally awarded by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to the joint venture of Nishimatsu Construction Co., Ltd. and D.M. Consunji, Inc. (DMCI) on October 29, 2025.[1] The contract spans a total route segment of 1.33 kilometers (0.83 mi) encompassing both the Kalayaan and BGC underground structures. President Bongbong Marcos led the formal groundbreaking ceremony for the station on February 13, 2026, initializing the site excavation phase using heavy cut-and-cover setups and tunnel boring machines (TBM).[2]
Market! Market! Transit-Oriented Development
[edit]The station footprint is integrated into a multi-stage, 10-hectare (25-acre) master plan spearheaded by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to transform the current Market! Market! estate into a massive high-density Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).[3] Assisted by a structural grant from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and master-planned by Almec Corporation, the ₱100-billion multi-firm initiative will roll out across three sequential phases to promote a high-density, walkable environment:[4]
- Phase 1: Development of the open-space zones immediately flanking the subway terminal to establish a central station plaza. This setup features connected mixed-use towers, retail avenues, and initial residential units.
- Phase 2: Expansion of multi-tier corporate office networks, international hotels, and residential blocks.
- Phase 3: Phase-out and structural redevelopment of the main Market! Market! mall building. While the lease held by current operator Ayala Land expires in 2027, the BCDA has stated intentions to phase structural replacement incrementally to avoid commercial disruptions during the subway's baseline construction period.
