Assembly Grounds is North Makati’s new and hip stomping ground Located at The Rise, this well-curated community hub is NOMA’s new hotspot With a prime location that’s a few minutes away from the bustling Makati CBD and known for its vibrant art, music, and food scene, North Makati or NOMA has turned into a land of promise for every young professional, artist, and entrepreneur. Now, NOMA welcomes the community’s newest hub, Assembly Grounds at The Rise.  The two-story community or boutique mall that’s integrated into The Rise combines world-class architecture and interior design with Shang Properties‘ thumbprint on residential and commercial development. NOMA’s newest stomping ground along Malugay Street has a good mix of restaurants, cafes, services, and essential stores that serve residents of The Rise and its neighbors—all carefully curated with their urban lifestyle in mind.

At Assembly Grounds, the locals at NOMA don’t have to go far to grab their favorite cup of joe with Starbucks Reserve that offers the rarest and the most extraordinary coffee and concoctions. Fruit and milk tea lovers won’t be left behind as the hub will soon open the popular Taiwanese tea shop Yi Fang.  Foodies looking for different cuisines can find unique discoveries at Assembly Grounds. It has a strong offering of Asian restaurants with Yuki Café, Tong Yang Shabu-Shabu Express, Ramen Daisho, Mey Lin Express, and Premier the Samgyupsal.

A dinner date with friends over fajitas and mojitos at Fiery Style Southwestern Flaming Grill or a night out with them over chicken and beer at Buffalo’s Wings N’ Things or a quick bite from 7-Eleven or BreadTalk are also just a few steps away at the new NOMA hub.
