In Metro Manila, long commutes have become a defining part of working life. According to the Boston Consulting Group, the average Filipino spends more than an hour in traffic congestion every day, cutting productivity by as much as 30%. For industries like IT-BPM, where time and talent retention are critical, this is a costly norm. 

Aseana City offers a different model, the 107-hectare bayfront district embodies the idea of a 15-minute city where daily essentials, workplaces, schools, and recreation are all within walking distance. It is a people-centered approach to urban planning that places productivity, well-being, and balance at the core of city life. 

Living at the Center of Connectivity 

At the heart of this vision stands MidPark Towers, a four-tower residential complex that brings daily living closer to the rhythm of work and community life. The development sits between Parqal and major office landmarks such as 8912 Asean Ave. Within minutes, residents can reach Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Landers Superstore Aseana, and soon, St. Luke’s Medical Center Aseana. 

MidPark Towers is designed to support modern urban living while preserving a sense of calm. Its four 15-storey towers are thoughtfully laid out with shared amenities such as swimming pools, fitness facilities, business lounge, function rooms, and children’s play area. More than a residence, it forms part of a living community that bridges office, home, and leisure within one district. 

For IT-BPM professionals, this means the city works on their terms. The commute to work is no longer an endurance test but a short walk. Lunch breaks can be spent outdoors under Parqal’s shaded arcades, and errands can be finished before dinner, all within the same walkable grid. Living near work not only saves hours each day but also improves focus, health, and morale, making work-life balance a daily reality rather than an aspiration. 

A Walkable, Transit-Connected City 

Aseana City’s design is built on accessibility. Wide sidewalks, elevated walkways, and dedicated bike lanes connect every block, while the Aseana Eco-Jeep loop provides convenient transport across the district. Beyond its borders, the city is integrated into Metro Manila’s growing transit network. The LRT-1 Redemptorist–Aseana Station links the district directly to the city’s north-south corridor, while the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and the NAIA Expressway keep Aseana minutes away from the airport and nearby cities. 

This seamless connectivity expands opportunities for both residents and employers. Employees have multiple options to get to work efficiently, while companies benefit from a larger labor pool and a community that supports round-the-clock operations. 

A Community That Lives Beyond the Workday 

MidPark Towers is part of Aseana’s broader goal to create a complete, livable community. As more residents move in, the district gains a vibrant after-hours pulse with people walking, dining, and exercising after office hours. The adjacent Parqal hosts regular community events such as Fitness at the Parq, Run Aseana, and Soul Sunday Mat Pilates, transforming weekends into moments of connection and wellness. This active public life reinforces Aseana’s placemaking philosophy: cities should be built for people first. 

Urban Design That Sustains Work and Life 

What sets Aseana City apart is how deliberately it connects business and community. Clean energy powers its offices, green spaces and shaded promenades define its public realm, and climate-resilient infrastructure ensures reliability even during typhoons. For companies, this creates an environment that sustains operations and talent alike. For professionals, it means a neighborhood that supports their goals both inside and outside the workplace. 

In Aseana City, residential developments like MidPark Towers are not just homes; they are part of a thoughtful ecosystem designed for the modern workforce. When work, wellness, and community exist side by side, productivity becomes effortless, and the city truly comes alive.
