Not true in this case, this is between two private entities that cease their partnership for re development of the property.

AFAIK. There's existing law that protects heritage structures.

Just like the Mandarin, the design and land use has become outdated for business sense already. Ill guess theyll tear down the parking structure behind as well.

I enjoyed the old Jeepney Cafe but had a bad experience involving an ipis in my iced tea.

Prince Albert, though expensive, holds good memories....

Bahia was a treat every time....

imho, structures in makati and in manila are different.they are trying to retain old structures in manila while they are trying to modernize structures in makati.

Partly own by the state or is it fully owned? That's probably the difference.

Land availability is the key AFAIk. With Sofitel there's not much need for the land itself as the developments are ongoing at other reclamation parts.

Marami daw magagalit pag sinara yung Spiral.

There is a problem vis-a-vis the so-called "heritage sites" insofar as it conflicts with private ownership. AFAIK, even if government declares a site to be a "heritage site" but it's privately owned, it cannot legally prevent the owners from tearing the structures on it down...unless government expropriates it.

Ayala Land has to put their money somewhere and they are running out of land... Look at Rockwell, they had to build on the last remaining open land (basketball court) in front of the mall...
