A World-Class Redesign Rooted in Local Character
Formerly known as UNIQLO C3 Annex, the new BGC High Street Store reimagines the shopping experience through a future-forward design that combines Japanese minimalism and Filipino vibrancy. Spanning an impressive 2,949 square meters, the store features a striking modern façade with a giant LED panel displaying UNIQLO’s iconic red logo—a sight that mirrors the brand’s flagship stores in Tokyo while resonating deeply with the energy of BGC.
“UNIQLO BGC High Street is a landmark in continuing to elevate the overall LifeWear shopping experience for customers. We wanted to bring together the best of UNIQLO’s global store design and the local character of Bonifacio Global City, resulting in a lifestyle hub that feels both world-class and deeply connected to the community,” shared Geraldine Sia, UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer.
Celebrating Everyday Lifestyles Through LifeWear
The grand opening welcomed personalities who represent the dynamic spirit of BGC and the versatility of LifeWear. Actress Solenn Heussaff embodied effortless chic in UNIQLO’s Bra Top collection, while Fitness Instructor Luigi Posadas showcased the comfort and functionality of Sport Utility Wear. Chef Patrick Curitana demonstrated the versatility of the Core T, essential for those constantly on the move, and Lifestyle Creator Chynna Lim highlighted Knit Wear, perfect for cozy, stylish days ahead.
Each personality reflected a different facet of BGC living—active, creative, and stylish—mirroring how UNIQLO’s LifeWear pieces fit seamlessly into every lifestyle.
Innovation, Sustainability, and Self-Expression in One Space
The four-story store is thoughtfully designed to encourage creativity, personalization, and sustainability. On the upper floors, shoppers can explore the UTme! Station, which allows them to design and print their own T-shirts with unique graphics—a favorite among artists and creatives. The newly launched RE.UNIQLO Studio offers repair and embroidery services to extend the life of clothing, supporting the brand’s global sustainability commitment.
Adding convenience to innovation, customers can also use Click & Collect, where they can order online and pick up their items in-store without minimum purchase or queueing.
Community Partnerships and Local Flavor
In true BGC fashion, the store opening was celebrated in partnership with beloved local brands. Shoppers during the opening weekend were treated to goodies such as Campechano Tacos from Los Tacos MNL, pastries from Kiji Bakehouse, and exclusive dishes from the Amado Fores Hospitality Group, including favorites from A Mano, Steak and Frice, and Ramen Ron.
UNIQLO also collaborated with Cats of BGC, a volunteer-led organization, to design limited-edition feline embroidery patches, while local artists including Avin Doodles, Jasmin Lacay, and Bonifacio Arts Foundation, Inc. contributed exclusive UTme! designs that celebrate BGC’s creativity, art, and pet-friendly culture.
LifeWear in Motion: A Citywide Celebration
To mark its reopening, UNIQLO transformed Bonifacio Global City into “UNIQLO City”, a visual and interactive celebration featuring creative installations and holiday displays. From the towering UNIQLO Christmas Tree and illuminated Amphitheater Cubes to digital showcases and photo-worthy signages, every corner of BGC now reflects the warmth and innovation of LifeWear.
The festivities continue with the UNIQLO Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 13, symbolizing a season of comfort, joy, and togetherness.
Promos and the Power of Clothing
To welcome shoppers, UNIQLO offers exclusive grand opening promotions on select LifeWear pieces including the HEATTECH Ultra Warm High Neck T-shirt, PUFFTECH Parka, and Wide Straight Jeans, alongside limited-edition novelties for purchases of ₱3,000 and above.
True to its belief in “The Power of Clothing,” UNIQLO also announced a partnership with Future Vision, a non-profit that empowers visually impaired individuals through education and skills development—underscoring that fashion can create positive social change.
A Store Designed for Life
From innovative clothing and personalization services to strong local partnerships and community engagement, the UNIQLO BGC High Street Store is more than a retail space—it’s a lifestyle destination that celebrates how LifeWear connects with the everyday lives of Filipinos.
