Bridgetowne straddles the border between Quezon City and Pasig and is divided into two tracts by theMarikina River. The majority of the development, the 22.56-hectare (55.7-acre) Bridgetowne East, sits on the eastern bank of the river within an area of Pasig administered as part of the village of Rosario and Manggahan .This area bounded by Amang Rodriguez Avenue to the east is a densely populated residential and industrial area in close proximity to theManggahan Floodway. The 8.05-hectare (19.9-acre) Bridgetowne West occupies the Quezon City side of the township where it is bordered by Eulogio Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5 Road) to the west. This area in Ugong Norte is a major transportation corridor that linksOrtigas Center andEastwood City. It neighbors theParklinks development on both banks of the Marikina River to the north and the Alaska Land IT Center to the south, with Green Meadows and Valle Verde gated villages forming its western border across C-5. The township is also a stone's throw from the Ortigas East, The Grove by Rockwell andArcovia City mixed-use developments of C-5 just south of Ortigas Avenue. In September 2019, Robinsons Land inaugurated the 200-meter-long (660 ft)arch bridge connecting its two sides across the Marikina River that also serves as an alternate route between C-5 and Amang Rodriguez Avenue.[4]
Bridgetowne is a redevelopment of several former industrial properties along the Marikina River in Rosario and Ugong Norte.
