With the Launch of the Forbes Financial Center network with a building in Makati City, Manila Philippines, Forbes has created the first Branded Commercial Real Estate project, with many more to come.  Partnering in Manila with Century Properties, a leading developer specializing in the creation and development of the highest quality real estate projects in the Philippines, the Forbes Financial Center Manila will be an icon for the City of Manila, and will become a business destination across southern Asia.

Incorporating all of the elements of the overall concept for the Forbes Financial Center, and specifically integrating the conference center, as well as retail outlets, restaurants and bars throughout, with a business club at the top of the building, in keeping with the network design concept, the Forbes Financial Center Manila will become a destination for business leaders to come together and initiate a dynamic exchange of ideas and business opportunities.

The Forbes Financial Center Manila is a dynamic urban mixed-use building, representative of the ethos of the company, which places great emphasis on the integration of Living, Working, Debate and dialog.

A new model of mixed-use urban structure, the Forbes Financial Center rejects the traditional and outdated models of mixed-use which stratifies the occupants either vertically or horizontally. The Forbes Financial Center integrates all uses throughout the complex into a dynamic living building, a Vertical City.

The Forbes Financial Center is a new model of an Urban Mixed-Use Building. By organizing the zones of the building into a three-dimensional matrix of residential, office, cultural, and entertainment districts, punctuated by numerous and varied parks as the tower rises, the Forbes Financial Center most accurately recreates the dynamic experience of the City, in a vertical structure.
