Leading property developer and no. 1 office developer, Megaworld Corporation, announced its plan to build ten office towers at the Iloilo Business Park by 2021. The office towers will provide a total of about 100,000 square meters of office space, generating approximately 30,000 jobs in the Information Technology-Business Process Outsourcing (IT-BPO) sector.

The Iloilo Business Park, a 72-hectare mixed-use development at the old Iloilo Airport site, is positioned to become biggest cyberpark in Western Visayas and a major hub for IT-BPO outside of Metro Manila.

Three towers to open in 2014

As part of the first phase at the IT-BPO cluster of the township, three office towers are set to be operational within this year – One Global Center, Two Global Center, and the Richmonde Tower.

Megaworld is allocating P5-billion for ten office towers at the Iloilo Business Park in the next seven years.

“More and more BPO companies have already expressed strong interest to set up operations in Iloilo Business Park. Most of them are first-time locators,” says Jericho P. Go, first vice president, Megaworld.
