Bonifacio Global City (also known as BGC, Global City, or The Fort) is a financial business district in Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is located 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) southeast of the capital city of Manila. The district experienced commercial growth following the sale of a 440 ha (1,100 acres) military base at Fort Bonifacio by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). The entire district used to be the part of the main Philippine Army camp.[3]
Bonifacio Global City is part of Taguig's barangay Fort Bonifacio. Prior to the creation of such barangay in 2008, it was part of barangay Ususan.
Previously, it was also claimed by Makati as part of its barangays Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, both part of the Embo barangays that were eventually transferred to Taguig in 2023. Pateros also claims the area as part of its territory.
On February 7, 1995, Bonifacio Land Corporation (BLC) started planning a major urban development—Bonifacio Global City. BLC made a successful bid to become BCDA's partner in the development of the district. The Ayala Corporation through Ayala Land, Inc., and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased a controlling stake in BLC from Metro Pacific in 2003. BCDA and the two companies now control Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, which oversees the master planning of Bonifacio Global City.

Fort Bonifacio Global City, a major urban center that would not only rival nearby Mikati, Manila's fashionable business district, but would stand on a global stage, admired from afar by Parisians, New Yorkers, and Londoners alike.
