A Small Slice of Heaven

Eastwood City is great. Principally because it looks nothing like Manila.

Set back a hundred metres from the main road beyond large walls, the 'City' is the product of Megaworld Corporation, a massive property development firm based in The Philippines but with projects throughout Asia.

Best described as a really large estate similar to Robina Town Centre on the Gold Coast, Eastwood City is comprised of 15 high rise residential towers (with 5 more being built), large corporate offices to some of the biggest companies in the world (Dell, IBM, etc), 2 shopping centres and a heap of outdoor restaurants and cafes all within walking distance.

And as testament to the demographics of the City's inhabitants, not 1 but 2 dog boutique stores cater to the multitude of Chihuahuas, Shitzus and Pomeranians prancing around the landscaped streets blisfully ignorant to the fate of their fellow canines outside the walls of Eastwood City.
