One Ayala

One Ayala, also known as One Ayala Avenue, is an under construction mixed-use development developed by Ayala Land located at Ayala Center via EDSA (C-4) in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. The development is located across Glorietta mall and occupies the former InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark sites. One Ayala aims to combine retail, hotel, and office facilities in a single contiguous space. Construction began in 2016 with the demolition of InterContinental Manila and EDSA Carpark and parts of the development opened in 2022.

History
One Ayala occupies the site where the InterContinental Manila hotel and EDSA Carpark once stood. The hotel was planned to close around 2014, coinciding with publicized plans to replace both the hotel and carpark with a mixed-use project, initially planned as a residential development. It was envisioned as part of Ayala Land's ₱65-billion redevelopment of the Makati Central Business District. The hotel would cease operations on December 31, 2015, and was later demolished.

The mixed-use development would be named after its address 1 Ayala Avenue. It was planned to feature two office towers, a condominium building, a hotel, and a five-story mall with intermodal transportation hub and convention center, seamlessly integrating to existing developments within the area. Its construction began in 2016, led by MDBI Construction Corporation.

The Point-to-Point (P2P) bus terminal opened on July 18, 2022, with the mall being partially opened, gradually progressing since then. The relocated EDSA Carousel stop and additional bus bays were later opened on November 18, 2022, and were followed by the opening of the PUV terminal at the lower ground level on March 20, 2023, thus completing the One Ayala Terminal. Basement 1 parking for the mall and Robinsons Supermarket's 150th branch, also the first in Makati, were opened on August 3, 2023. Parking fees for the mall were initially waived every weekend until April 2024. On April 19, 2024, Spaces at One Ayala, the first trade halls in Makati at Level 5, hosted its inaugural event.

Features
One Ayala, named after its address 1 Ayala Avenue, is a 390000 m2 transport-oriented development which features a five-story 54700 m2 mall with intermodal transportation hub and trade halls, three office towers, and a hotel. It is designed by the architectural firm Visionarch. The lot it occupies measures 2.8 ha and is bounded by Ayala Avenue, EDSA, the inner streets of Ayala Center such as East Street and Courtyard Drive, and the pedestrianized access to Ayala station.

Mall and transport hub
The intermodal transportation hub, known as One Ayala Terminal, spans from the Upper Ground Level to Level 2 of the complex, covering an area of 390000 sqm.

At the Upper Ground Level are the bus bays of city and point-to-point (P2P) buses, accessible through EDSA and Ayala Avenue, respectively. EDSA provides access to three bus bays for southbound buses of the EDSA Carousel, other southbound city and provincial buses, and the Makati–Calamba P2P Bus route. Meanwhile, Ayala Avenue provides access to the P2P Carousel lane for other P2P buses, along with a pick-up and drop-off point, and an Electric Vehicle (EV) Fast-Charging station. These bays also host Tripko and Beep reloading stations and food kiosks. Additionally, a friendship mural is found on this level.

On the Lower Ground Level is the PUV terminal, which features nine gates, with the first two serving as entrances and the rest as boarding gates for traditional jeepneys and UV Express routes coming from Ayala Center, as well as a motorcycle taxi stop. Accessible exclusively to such vehicles via Ayala Avenue, it provides an exit at the intersection of Courtyard Drive and Station Drive. At Level 2 are the access points to Ayala station of the MRT Line 3 and the Ayala Footbridge, which connects the complex to McKinley Exchange Corporate Center, the location of the EDSA-Ayala terminal of BGC Bus, and the northbound Ayala stop of EDSA Carousel. Additionally, the Level 2 walkways and bridges also connect the complex to a Shell gas station at the EDSA–McKinley Road intersection via Ayala Footbridge and SM Makati, which is also accessible directly from Level 3. Another walkway will connect the complex to Glorietta 4.

The transport hub is located within a five-storey shopping mall that is managed by Ayala Malls. Built at the podium of the complex, the mall has a gross leasable space (GLA) of 54,700 m2 and is expected to house more than 400 retail stores. It features a Robinsons Supermarket branch at the Lower Ground Level, a concourse for events at Level 2, Tech Central at Level 4, and al fresco dining from Levels 2 to 4. Level 5 includes Space at One Ayala, a multi-purpose court, and the future headquarters of Ayala Malls. Space at One Ayala has four trade halls, the first of its kind in Makati, totaling 2700 sqm and function rooms.

Office towers
One Ayala has three office towers, all PEZA-registered and developed by Ayala Land Offices.

One Ayala Tower 1, also known as the One Ayala East Tower, has 21 floors and is operational. Situated closer to EDSA, it hosts the Philippine headquarters of Microsoft, which moved from 6750 Ayala Avenue to Tower 1 in 2022. On the other hand, One Ayala Tower 2, also known as the One Ayala West Tower, has 29 floors and is expected to top off in 2024. Both Towers 1 and 2 are situated at the Ayala Avenue side of the development, with a combined space of 85000 m2.

One Ayala South Tower is located at the Courtyard Drive side of the development, with a GLA of 12000 or. Initially planned as a leasable condominium building, it is set to open in 2024.

Seda One Ayala
One Ayala will host a Seda Hotels branch. Intended to be a flagship project, the Seda One Ayala will have 413 rooms. It is set to open in 2024.

Parking
One Ayala has a four-level basement parking beneath the mall. It is accessible through entry points at Ayala Avenue and East Street, which also provides access to Glorietta's basement parking. Parking spaces for the mall are located at Basements 1 and 2, while those for the office towers are at Basements 3 and 4. There is a plan to link the basement parking with that of Glorietta.

In 2017, One Ayala was shortlisted out of 400 entries from 68 countries at the 2017 World Architecture Festival. The project of One Ayala Towers 1 and 2 won the High-Rise Structures Category in the 2022 Philippines Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards. It also won the 2022 People's Choice Award at the 8th Annual American Concrete Institute (ACI) Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards.
