Ortigas Center (also known as the Ortigas Central Business District or Ortigas CBD) is a central business district located within the joint boundaries of Pasig, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City, within Metro Manila in the Philippines. With an area of more than 100 hectares (250 acres), it is Metro Manila's second most important business district after the Makati Central Business District. It is governed by the Ortigas Center Association, Inc. (OCAI), a non-stock and non-profit organization established in 1982 by Ortigas Land to manage the development. Ortigas Center is home to many shopping malls, office and condominium skyscrapers, nightlife bars, restaurants, and other building complexes. These include the St. Francis Square, the Asian Development Bank compound, the Oakwood Premier serviced apartments and a Shangri-La hotel. It is also home to the headquarters of San Miguel Corporation, Jollibee Foods Corporation, Viva Communications, Century Pacific Food and Rebisco, and secondary or alternate office of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) at Bonaventure Plaza. Also present in the area are Philippine offices of prominent engineering firms such as Parsons Brinckerhoff, Sinclair Knight Merz, and WSP Group. It is also home to the Banco de Oro main office owned by mall tycoon Henry Sy, Sr., as is the SM Megamall he owns—one of the largest malls in the nation—along EDSA. Also located near the Ortigas Center is The Medical City, one of the three hospitals in the nation accredited by the Joint Commission on International Accreditation. Ortigas Center is surrounded by Ortigas Avenue to the north, EDSA to the west, Meralco Avenue to the east, and Shaw Boulevard to the south.
