Bonifacio Global City, also known as BGC, Global City, or The Fort, is a 240-hectare mixed-use estate and central business district located in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Philippines. It is the home of the Philippine Stock Exchange, the national stock exchange as well as several multinational corporations in the country. Some of the tallest buildings in the Philippines are located in BGC such as the Metrobank Center, the country's tallest building. The district experienced commercial growth following the sale of a 440 ha (1,100 acres) military base at Fort Bonifacio by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). BGC used to be a part of the main camp of the Philippine Army known as Fort Bonifacio.
In 1995, Bonifacio Land Corporation (BLC) started planning a major urban development—Bonifacio Global City. BLC made a successful bid to become BCDA's partner in the development of the district. The Ayala Corporation through Ayala Land, Inc., and Evergreen Holdings, Inc. of the Campos Group purchased a controlling stake in BLC from Metro Pacific in 2003. BCDA and the two companies now control Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, which oversees the master planning of Bonifacio Global City.
BGC was previously claimed by the City of Makati as part of its barangays Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, the two Inner Fort barangays which are part of the Enlisted Men's Barrios (EMBO) barangays that were eventually transferred to Taguig in 2023. Pateros also claims the area as part of its territory.
