  • Centris Walk, a 12-hectare mix-use complex in Quezon City would surely catalyze big changes in the environs of the previously stagnant area of land along Edsa near corner Quezon Avenue. Because of its strategic location, it is destined to be a major destination in Quezon City for dining, lifestyle and entertainment.


    Now open to the public, the exciting strip boasts high-end dining institutions and coffee shops. Among them are Asya, Italiannis, MyThai, Pancake House, Pho Hoa, Tutti Frutti, The Coffee Bean, and Jack's Loft.


    And because children's playground is made to be an integral part, Centris Walk is also an excellent weekend hide-away for the family.


    Directions to Centris Walk

    How to get to Centris Walk

    By Car
    (see also: by train and by bus & jeepney)

    Route #1

    From south of Metro Manila e.g. Alabang, Pacita, Metropolis Star Mall, Filinvest Mall, Ayala Alabang and southern tagalog provinces of Laguna, Batangas and Quezon. Take the skyway and exit in Magallanes. Turn right onto EDSA via Magallanes interchange. Stay to the middle of EDSA and drive all the way to Quezon City, passing through Ayala Tunnel, Cubao tunnel and flyovers of Ortigas, Santolan and Kamuning-EDSA.

    After passing through EDSA-Kamuning flyover, next flyover is Quezon Avenue-EDSA flyover. Avoid passing through that flyover by changing lane to the right but since the right lane is for buses and jeepneys, do it while nearing the foot of the flyover. Entrance to the Centris Walk is visible momentarily.

    Route #2

    From north of Metro Manila, e.g. Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela as well as Bulacan and Pampanga - Take EDSA all the way to Quezon Avenue. Stay to the middle of EDSA, crossing the Congressional/Roosevelt intersection in Munoz and West Avenue where SM City North Edsa is located to your left. After West Avenue, you must avoid passing through Quezon Avenue-EDSA flyover. Take the right lane of EDSA and pass through the ground level intersection of EDSA and Quezon Avenue. Make a U-Turn on the U-Turn slot next to Quezon Avenue and EDSA junction. After the U-Turn you must turn right onto Quezon Avenue but stay to the right turning lane, do not take the wide main Quezon Avenue that will bring you way too far and lost your way. Finally, turn right onto the next service road at the back of the Eton Centris Building also known as Centris Station, which is located at the corner of Quezon Avenue and EDSA. Up ahead is the parking entrance of the Centris Walk.

    Route #3

Turn right onto NIA Northsite Road. Finally, turn right onto EDSA staying to the innermost side of the road but make sure your right signal light is on to avoid apprehension if ever because at this time you are driving on the bus lane.

    By Bus and Jeepney

    All buses plying the route of Edsa stops on Quezon Avenue except bus stop on the South bound lane from Monumento is too far that taking a train is much more convenient.

    With regards to passenger jeepneys, some of them stop exactly at Centris Bldg which is exactly where the Centris Walk is near. Jeepneys bound to Quaipo from Fairview and vice versa that pass by Centris are those with sign MRT HIGHWAY. You have to be very careful in taking ride as jeepneys without this sign go straight through the tunnel.
