It is politically known as "Central Cluster" in the West District of Makati.

It is different from the civic center of Makati known as "Makati Poblacion" which is situated at the north-east portion of the district.

It is bounded by EDSA, Gil Puyat Avenue, Arnaiz Avenue, and Chino Roces Avenue. The whole district occupies barangays of San Antonio, San Lorenzo, Bel-Air, and Urdaneta.

Many of the skyscrapers in Metro Manila are in this area. PBCom Tower along Ayala Avenue, 259 meters high, is the country's tallest office building. It is the headquarters of the Philippine Bank of Communications, or PBCom. The business district is also considered as one of the most vibrant commеrcial districts in Southeast Asia. It contains the Ayala Center, one of the region's major shopping centers.

The financial district is managed by two groups - the Makati Commercial Estates Association (MaCEA) and the Ayala Property Management Corporation (APMC).

HOW TO GET THERE

Via Land

Downtown Makati is the one of the most easily accessed business districts in the Philippines.

Public transportation within the city is facilitated mostly using inexpensive jeepneys and buses for commuters working in the district. Most of the buses and jeepneys come from EDSA, the main thoroughfare in Metro Manila.

Buses plying the avenue from Parañaque to Caloocan pass through the central business/financial district daily. EDSA Carpark Building in Ayala Center is the main public transport terminal inside the district.

It is accessible for shoppers going to SM Makati and Glorietta. This can also accommodate the vehicles of passengers riding the MRT.

There are also available intercity bus in downtown that plies routes from Ayala Center to Fort Bonifacio via McKinley Road operated only by the Bonifacio Transport Corporation.

In 2015, the city's new transport hub called the McKinley Exchange, which is also along EDSA outside downtown, was opened. People enter and leave the city through this new central transport hub, which serves buses, taxes and jeepneys and is a walking distance from the MRT Ayala station.

There are several parking buildings for car-owned people working in downtown. Taxi cabs are also available for people working in downtown.
