Governors Place Condominium - LOCATION

As mentioned earlier, the Governor’s Place is located on a prime spot in the middle of Mandaluyong City. In fact, the building is actually just a walking distance away from some of the biggest commercial complexes in the city.

For instance, if you feel like doing a bit of shopping, you just need to walk 5 to 10 minutes to get to the Shangri-La Mall and the Star Mall. If you walk a bit further down the street from Shangri-La, you will find the SM Megamall, which once was the biggest shopping mall in the country. Between these three malls, you will surely not have any trouble finding whatever it is you might need or want.

However, on the off chance that you want some more shopping choices, you can go a bit further northbound on EDSA so you can access the famed Robinson’s Galleria on Ortigas Avenue. If you head westbound on Ortigas Avenue, you will then reach the Greenhills Shopping Center, which is the penultimate place that you can go to for bargains and sales on everything under the sun.

Are you looking for the other basics, like schools, churches, and hospitals? These are all just minutes away from the Governor’s Place in Shaw Boulevard. First off are the schools. Along EDSA, just beside the SM Megamall, is the Saint Pedro Poveda College, one of the most prestigious Catholic learning institutions in the country. Here, you can enroll your kids from pre-school all the way to college (they have quite a lot of courses lined up with even more added each year depending on the demand).

If you want an even bigger, more prestigious school for your kids, head down to Ortigas Avenue where you can easily find the main gate of the De La Salle University Greenhills Campus. This university is one of the finest in the country. If your kid graduates from college from De La Salle, he/she is almost guaranteed a fulfilling career afterwards.

Hospitals and medical clinics are quite abundant in the immediate neighborhood actually. For instance, in SM Megamall, you will already find several dental, optical, dermatological, and general practice clinics. This is great because you can actually get your regular checkup while you are on a shopping trip. If you need more serious medical treatment, head east on Ortigas Avenue to see the massive Capitol Medical Center. This huge hospital is equipped with the latest and greatest medical equipment. It is also staffed by the best doctors. If you are in need of medical attention, you will be glad to know that Capitol Medical Center is just ten to fifteen minutes away from the Governor’s Place.

Now, to the most important point, transportation and travel time to work. If you work in the Ortigas Center then you do not even have to ride a cab or drive a car because it is just a 10-minute walk from the main lobby of the Governor’s Place. There are also several shortcuts that you can take to make your daily walk work much faster. Now, if you work in Makati or Pasay, you can simply walk from the main gate towards the Shaw Avenue MRT station. Using the train, your total travel time to work will be less than half an hour, 45 minutes tops.
