Skycity

Skycity is a major construction site in Mandaluyong with a planned building reaching about 335 meters in height across 80 floors. The project was designed to combine hotel rooms, office spaces, and residential apartments but remains incomplete.

The project started in the early 2000s but faced immediate opposition from nearby Greenhills East Village residents who filed legal challenges. These court battles stretched over many years and significantly halted progress on the site.

The structure shapes how Mandaluyong looks today and represents the way the city has grown upward over time. These tall buildings have become part of the everyday view for those who work or live in this area of Metro Manila.

The site sits near major traffic routes and can be reached using local transport options that connect to other parts of Metro Manila. Visitors should know this is an active construction area, so access is limited and safety rules apply.

Only the excavation phase was completed despite multiple attempts to restart the project across several decades. This long pause makes it a notable example of the obstacles large urban development projects face in the region.
