Century City is a 3.4-hectare (8.4-acre) mixed-use development in Makati, Philippines being developed by Century Properties. Several of the Philippines' tallest buildings, namely The Gramercy Residences, The Knightsbridge Residences, and Trump Tower Manila are located here, as well as the 17,000-square-metre (180,000 sq ft) Century City Mall.^[1] Once completed, Century City will comprise two to three office buildings for business process outsourcing companies, two to three other residential towers and an IT park.^[2]
