J.P. Rizal Avenue in the context of Makati Avenue

Makati Avenue (Filipino: Abenida Makati) is a major commercial thoroughfare in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. It forms the eastern border of the Ayala Triangle and is one of the three main avenues of the Makati Central Business District. The avenue runs roughly north–south diagonally, almost parallel to Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA). It passes through two distinct neighborhoods of the city: the Makati CBD and the old Makati Población. At its northern end lies the older part of Makati, starting from J.P. Rizal Avenue. It continues through Población to Gil Puyat Avenue, marking the southern edge of the old district. South of Gil Puyat onto the CBD, the avenue becomes more commercial and upscale. The Ayala Center shopping hub and Arnaiz Avenue are at its southern end.

Makati Avenue has two lanes each way in the Poblacion area and widens to three or four in the CBD. It has a short extension into the gated San Lorenzo Village as San Lorenzo Drive.
