Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex

The Cultural Center of the Philippines Complex, also known as CCP Complex, is an 88-hectare (220-acre) reclaimed property along Roxas Boulevard in Metro Manila, Philippines, most of which fall under the jurisdiction of the city of Pasay. It is part of Bay City (formerly Boulevard 2000) that spans 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) of reclaimed land along Manila Bay. The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) owns 77 hectares (190 acres) of the land, with the rest being occupied by the SM Central Business Park, Philippine National Bank's Financial Center Area, and PAGCOR's Entertainment City, among others. Development of the complex was stalled until 2000, when the Philippine Supreme Court ruled with finality the CCP's ownership of some 35 hectares (86 acres) of prime real estate in the complex.

The complex is bounded by the Manila Bay to the north and west, the Philippine Navy headquarters to the northeast, Roxas Boulevard to the east, and Jose Diokno Boulevard to the south. It is divided into two zones: the Art Zone, and the Commercial and Entertainment Zone. It features several brutalist structures designed in the 1960s and 1970s by Leandro Locsin, such as the Tanghalang Pambansa, the Philippine International Convention Center, and the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. Other locators in the complex include the Coconut Palace, the Manila Film Center and Star City amusement park.
