How To Get To Cartimar Pasay

There are two things you must remember in driving to Cartimar Shopping Complex. First, Leveriza. Set your destination to Leveriza Street, Pasay. Cartimar just presents itself once you get there. Second, traffic in Leveriza is one way from Gil Puyat formerly Buendia to Antonio Arnaiz Street formerly Libertad.

Explanations. Taft Avenue is out of the question. You would never attempt to pass through here because of the heavy traffic. Passing through Luna is not advisable for first timer here. Leveriza is the most convenient way to get to Cartimar Pasay by car.

Route #1

From Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela. This include Monumento, Tondo, Recto, Divisoria, Binondo, Sta Cruz. Take Rizal Avenue then turn right onto Jose Abad Santos Avenue. Drive all the way and cross C.M. Recto Avenue. Once you cross C.M. Recto Avenue, road name changes to Reina Regente. Stay to the middle of Reina Regente until you reach Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz. Go with the flow of the traffic of Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz by turning right a little bit and immediately turn left on Juan Luna. Follow the route of public jeepneys until you get to Lawton, crossing Pasig River via Jones Bridge. You're now driving on Padre Burgos Street. Upon approach to the first intersection with traffic lights after Lawton, you must be driving to the right lane of Padre Burgos to avoid getting onto the Lagusnilad Underpass. Stay on Padre Burgos and turn left on Roxas Boulevard.

Drive all the way on Roxas Boulevard. Cross intersections of U.N. Avenue, Pedro Gil, Quirino Avenue and CCP Complex. After you cross CCP Complex traffic lights, you must change lane to the right because you're going to turn right onto Gil Puyat Avenue. Take the rightmost lane of Roxas Boulevard even if you're still in front of CCP Complex because Gil Puyat flyover concrete barrier that separates the side road begins over 500 meters from the foot of the flyover. So to avoid getting onto the flyover make sure you're on the side road early on. Turn right onto Gil Puyat Avenue and immediately make a U-Turn on the next U-Turn slot. Cross Roxas Boulevard under the Gil Puyat - Roxas Boulevard flyover. Drive on Gil Puyat Avenue, crossing Harrison Street. After you pass through the foot bridge, turn right onto the next street. That street is Leveriza Street. Approximately 330 meters from the corner of Gil Puyat and Leveriza is the Cartimar Shopping Complex. There's enough parking spaces inside the complex.
