BEST TRAVEL PLACE: How To Get To The Buildings Along Gil Puyat From MRT Buendia

In this article, I will guide you to the buildings located along Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly known as Buendia) from EDSA where MRT-3 Buendia Station is located up to Chino Roces Avenue (formerly known as Pasong Tamo). This post helps you not only to locate a building along the stretch of Gil Puyat Avenue but also tells you where to get off the jeepney. You need to remember that Gil Puyat Avenue, like Ayala Avenue, has these metal fences and barriers along the whole stretch of the road from EDSA to Mayapis Street. Of course, these barriers stop in intersections and gasoline stations. In creating this directional guide, I put these metal fences into the whole route so that you get the right spot in which you must get off the jeepney to quickly arrive to your building destination.

Also, all buildings and institutions in this article are located to the right of Gil Puyat Avenue, that is if you're coming from MRT Buendia Station in EDSA. That means you just need to walk a little bit from drop off point to your destination located in the same side of Gil Puyat as where you get off the jeep. The commuting direction to the buildings located to the left of Gil Puyat Avenue from EDSA is explained in second part of this topic, go to How To Get To The Buildings Along Gil Puyat From MRT Buendia 2. We do this in parts for quick reference.

Please check if your building destination is listed below, then patiently read the rest of this direction to know where to get off the jeep from MRT, or if you can just walk your way to the building, if it's near to EDSA.

How to get to a building along the right side of Gil Puyat Avenue from MRT Buendia Station?

From the MRT turnstile (exit machine), go left and then go right to take the footbridge and stairs that goes to Gil Puyat Avenue. From the footbridge which is extended from MRT station, just before you go down the stairs, SM CyberTwo Building is visible. This photo is taken from the footbridge right at the top of the stairs. Get to the ground, walk across Gil Puyat Avenue under the flyover to get to SM CyberTwo.

Once in SM CyberTwo, you get to see the terminal of jeepneys with "Bel-Air Washington Buendia MRT" wordings in both sides of the body and "Washington" sign in its front. The terminal is located near the entrance of McDonal's which is located at the ground floor of SM CyberTwo. Ride one of these jeepneys, pay minimum fare.

Since there are metal fences along the sidewalk of Gil Puyat, you can't alight infront of a building located before the next main intersection of Paseo de Roxas. So, the following buildings can be accessed just by walking from CyberTwo Building:

Next building to SM CyberTwo is PDAF Building. It's followed by Urban Building. Fouth Building from CyberTwo is Midland Buendia, followed by ENZO Building, and next to it is Buendia Car Exchange. Next to Buendia Car Exchange is Accelerando Building, followed by Goodwill Building. The ninth building from SM CyberTwo including Buendia Car Exchange is ALCO Building where Chevrolet Philippines is located in the fifth floor. Tara Building is next to ALCO Building. The last three buildings before Paseo de Roxas intersection can be quickly reached by riding the "Washington" jeepney because they are nearer to the corner of Paseo de Roxas. These buildings are: 387 Used Auto Center, a used car sales company, which is next to Tara Building; Department of Trade & Industry - Board of Investments, next to Auto Center; and Saville Building, exactly located at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gil Puyat Avenue. See location map of these buildings below, click HERE.

After Paseo de Roxas, the next main intersection is Makati Avenue. There are only six buildings located between Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue. Get off the jeepney at Paseo de Roxas if your destination is one of these three buildings: EBC Building - BDO Paseo-Gil Puyat, the first building from the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gil Puyat Avenue. Goodland Building - Herbalife / ICSEC-KAPLAN, next to EBC Building. And DTI International Building, third building from Paseo de Roxas.
