Dancing fountain in Uptown Mall, BGC

Serves as a podium to the four towers of Uptown Corporate Center, Uptown Mall is the latest establishment to hit the Philippine landscape of luxury shopping. 

Aims to serve the public with a penchant over upscale brands, it is home to elegant fashion boutiques, restaurants and premium supermarket. It's a world of its own, lying at the heart of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, Metro Manila and basking in glory of opulence and sophistication.

Owned and managed by Megaworld Corporation, a real estate giant in the Philippines whose centerpiece of property development is a high-end financial district, Uptown Mall is a signature for luxury and leisure. Apart from BGC, megaworld is also the developer of McKinley and Eastwood in Libis, Quezon City.

Uptown Corporate Center

Uptown Mall personifies what an urban living looks and feels like. Fabulous. Sophisticated. Posh. Glitzy. Dreamy. Anything you want for a glamorous lifestyle is provided by this upmarket shopping destination.

The place houses chic international brands of fashion, retails and restaurants. Outside the shopping center is an artistic surrounding that awes visitors with its gorgeous ambience and highly urbanized feel. On its ground is a Las Vegas-style dancing fountain which takes action of live animation each night starting at 6:00 in the evening.

The dance fountain features lights and sounds that change in synchronized movements of the water fountain. It's so dreamy! As though you're in a wonderland, witnessing a ball of magic and wonders exploding before your eyes.  People across all ages will surely love this spot. For adults, it will bring back the child in you.

The animation features electric colors and a fire show. It's a real fire element so do not get closer to the fountain perimeter. It will scare the hell out of you 😀. I find this so extra fabulous as water fountain releases movements that relaxed senses.

On the fourth level is a beautiful lobby surrounded with plants, benches, restaurants and bars. There's a food hall near the tower 3, an upgraded version of the food court, where food stalls are located. 

What's nice about this hall, aside from the wide selections of recipes, is its chic interior and design concept. Remarkably artistic.
