Megaworld Corporation top executives discuss exciting developments at the Iloilo Business Park (IBP), the company’s P25 billion mixed-use real estate development in Iloilo City.

Mr. Jericho Go, Megaworld, Vice President for Business Leasing and Development Group, and Mr. Harold Geronimo, Director for Strategic Marketing and Communications host a media conference with Iloilo-based bloggers.

Iloilo Business Park expansion

Megaworld Corp. is expanding the Iloilo Business Park by 18 hectares on top of the 54-hectare old Iloilo Airport lot bought by the real estate giant in 2007. The new addition brings the total land area of the property to 72 hectares.

The company does not currently have definite plans for the 18-hectare expansion of the Iloilo Business Park, according to Mr. Go. He adds, Megaworld will develop the initial 54 hectares first, then work on the remaining 18 hectares.

On the Iloilo Business Master Development Plan released by the company earlier, a considerably large area, not included in initial versions of the Master Development Plan, was labeled as the “Iloilo Central Park.”
