Eastwood City, developed by Megaworld Corporation, is a pioneering mixed-use development in Quezon City, launched in 1997. It is often cited as the Philippines' first 'live-work-play' community, integrating residential condominiums, office buildings, a large shopping mall, and various entertainment venues within a 17-hectare estate. The area is particularly known for being one of the country's first IT parks granted special economic zone status by PEZA, which attracted numerous business process outsourcing (BPO) companies. Its success established a model for future township developments across the country. The Eastwood City Walk and a central lagoon are popular attractions, offering a bustling nightlife and a wide array of dining options. It has played a significant role in the growth of the BPO industry and the transformation of Quezon City's urban landscape, making it a major economic and lifestyle hub in Metro Manila.
