The two office towers, which will be called No. 1 Upper East Avenue and No. 5 Upper East Avenue, will offer around 17,000 square meters of office spaces, particularly for the information technology and business process outsourcing (IT-BPO) sector. The towers will be strategically located along the township’s main avenue, the six-lane Upper East Avenue which connects the city’s main streets of Lopez Jaena and Circumferential Road. Both towers will be facing the soon-to-rise Upper East Mall, and they will sandwich the township’s central park. “These two new office towers will be Megaworld’s first office developments in Bacolod, and we look forward to bring in new BPO locators to the city. To be operated under our Megaworld Premier Offices brand, these Upper East Avenue towers will showcase the company’s signature state-of-the-art features in office developments – making them the most modern offices to rise in Bacolod City,” says Kevin L.

drbubb Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Bacolod City finds more reasons to smile The city, which is seen to benefit from the government’s massive infrastructure and decentralization program, offers vast potential as a property investment hub We believe that Bacolod City will remain a preferred property investment site outside of the capital region on the back of the Duterte administration’s infrastructure and decentralization push. Bacolod is a major business site in the Visayas region and it is likely to retain its stature as a competitive city over the medium to long term. Among the crucial infrastructure projects due to be implemented in Bacolod City are the Bacolod Economic Highway and the expansion of Bacolod-Silay Airport. Other local government-initiated projects that should further raise the city’s attractiveness as an office and residential hub include the Bacolod City South Bus Terminal, two coastal roads and a viaduct. These should ease access from the city’s business districts to second and third-tier cities. National developers, like Rockwell Land, have started to invest in Bacolod City. Chasing higher-value outsourcing locators Primarily a call center hub, Bacolod City has started to position itself as a provider of higher value outsourcing services such as health information management (HIM) and software engineering. It is among the pioneering provincial locations that managed to entice global outsourcing companies due to the nursing and allied medical graduates that the city produces annually. The economy of Western Visayas, where Bacolod City belongs, has also been expanding by 7.4 percent over the past two years and this has been instrumental in propelling the growth of traditional, non-outsourcing businesses. This also contributes to faster office space absorption in the city. Meanwhile, the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) ranks Bacolod as the 9th most competitive local government unit (LGU) in the country based on economic dynamism, government efficiency and infrastructure support. This improving competitiveness versus other key locations in the Philippines has been propelling investor interest in the city. Over the near to medium term, this is among the factors that should support office space absorption in the city. Infrastructure projects like airports help unlock land values in the provinces. Skilled manpower But a major driver of business interest is the city’s skilled manpower. About a third of colleges graduates that the city produces annually are business degree holders while close to 30 percent hold engineering, IT, math and medical-related degrees. The sufficient number of graduates holding relevant degrees complemented by the training programs provided by the IT council and the city government ensure the employability of the city’s college graduates. The growing number of starting families has driven strong take-up of houses and lots (H&Ls). We have recorded significant demand from newly launched projects, particularly those priced below P3.2 million. We also see demand from wealthy families purchasing lots for their second homes or as inheritance for their children. The preference for H&Ls is strong as Bacolod residents and investors still prefer larger, open spaces. Overall, we see sustained demand drivers in Bacolod City and the developers should be quick in cashing in on residential opportunities by: + converting brownfield properties such as the old airport into mixed-use communities; + exploring land around the fringes of Bacolod City; + aggressively developing affordable and economic units; and + acquiring developable land near the government’s planned infrastructure projects. Bacolod City will likely remain an attractive location for H&L and condominium projects, but a more aggressive launch of residential projects in the city pushes developers to look for alternative sites. In our opinion, condominium units are becoming an attractive investment option for OFWs and local businessmen. These unit owners are anticipating the projects’ potential for leasing once they have been completed. Colliers believes that the BPO sector will continue to be a driver of condominium leasing in Bacolod City. Foreign employees as well as higher-earning local outsourcing workers are among the targeted buyers and occupants. What’s next for Bacolod? Colliers expects property developers to continue pursuing opportunities by developing satellite communities outside of Metro Manila given the proposed airport development and modernization projects. Integrated communities can offer a better value proposition than the stand-alone projects given their focus on mixed-use development. We believe that greater scale combined with a mixed-use focus can make integrated townships an attractive option for investors. Colliers further expects more outsourcing tenants to gravitate toward integrated communities as these can offer a better living and working environment.

To support the varying lifestyles of the modern Bacolodnon, the presence of various retail shops and leisure choices is also found within Nara Residences. Bacolod City has long been recognized as a key investment destination outside Metro Manila. Major business process outsourcing firms have chosen Bacolod due to the availability of a skilled workforce. This has resulted in the redevelopment of the city’s property sector, attracting national players that have extensive experience in building integrated communities that offer office, residential, hotel and retail projects. We believe that Bacolod City will remain a preferred property investment site outside of the capital region on the back of the Duterte administration’s infrastructure and decentralization push.

According to the Tholons Services Globalization Index (TSGI) 2018 released on Monday, Iloilo has reentered the international standings for BPO destinations, as other Philippine hubs gain ground and slide up the list. This 2018, six major Philippine cities have been included in the Tholons Top 100 – with Manila ranking the highest at 2nd place worldwide, along with Cebu City (11th), Davao City (75th), Sta. Rosa, Laguna (87st), and Bacolod (89th). Manila has regained its 2nd position from last year’s when it slipped to 4th position. According to a report by the Philippine News Agency, currently around 21,000 Ilonggos are employed in the BPO industry. . . . “Colliers believes that demand for BPO space will likely continue given the aggressive promotion being undertaken by the local government as it aims to become a premier SMART (Service, Manufacturing, Agri-business, Arts and culture, Research and technology and Tourism) city of excellence,” added the research report. Tholons is a leading full-service strategic advisory firm for global outsourcing and investments. In this year’s report, they considered innovation, workforce and skills, infrastructure and cost, risk and quality of life, and business catalysts as metrics for the research. Among the metrics used by Tholons for its TSGI study this year are “Talent, Skills and Quality; Cost; Infrastructure; Risk & Quality of Life; Business Catalyst; and Digital & Innovation.”/PN > More: https://www.panaynews.net/iloilo-reenters-tholons-intl-bpo-hubs-top-100/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another project from the same developer is the 53-hectare Northill Gateway township where residential, dining, retail, leisure, and tourism amenities are combined. The commercial development aims to provide a refreshing lifestyle away from the bustling streets of the city by giving the residents everything they need at close proximity. 3. Bacolod has a growing BPO industry. There are more than 20 IT-BPO companies in Bacolod. When it comes to job vacancies and demands, Bacolod has plenty. In fact, the city is one of the top destinations for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) companies. Earlier this 2019, international firm Colliers has forecast that the city will remain one of the preferred BPO locations in the Philippines. In 2015, the provincial government has constructed the biggest BPO training provider in Bacolod: Negros First Cyber Center (NFCC). Besides call center companies, English as a Second Language (ESL) centers are also popular amongst job hunters. > MORE: https://yoorekka.com/magazine/bacolod-negros-island/2019/08/15/investing-in-bacolod-5-reasons-why-it-s-a-good-idea/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacolod is one of the primary producers of sugar in the 19th century. However, the 1980s sugar crisis or when exports were minimized and could no longer sustain the livelihood of the people, the Negrenses, especially the women, started a foundation they now call the Association of Negros Producers (ANP). ANP aimed at providing the displaced sugarcane workers the jobs from food processing to handicraft making. The majority of these were small or backyard businesses which then became household names.

drbubb Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 PROPERTY giant Megaworld Corp. is all set to construct a new residential condominium inside the 34-hectare The Upper East township in Bacolod City. ONE MANHATTAN will be amenity Rich Located at the corner of Manhattan and Lexington Streets, the 14-story One Manhattan tower will be the third residential condominium in the township, which was built on the former site of the Bacolod-Murcia Milling Co. The concept of the township is inspired by the posh Upper East district of New York City in the United States. The two other towers are One Regis and Two Regis. One Manhattan promises to have “first-in-Bacolod” amenities such as a rock-climbing wall, putting green, mini track oval with gym, an outdoor Jacuzzi at the second level amenity deck, and an exclusive bar and lounge at the tower’s roof deck. The roof deck overlooks Bacolod’s cityscape, the Negros mountains in the east and the amazing sunset at the Guimaras Strait in the west. In addition, the tower will also have its own private dining room for special occasions, adult and kiddie pools, pool deck with an outdoor shower area, game and entertainment room, function hall, reading nooks, outdoor seating areas, and an outdoor children’s play area. . . . Eyed for completion in 2025, One Manhattan is expected to generate P1.6-billion in sales. Since the launch of The Upper East in 2018, prices of condominium units in this township have already appreciated by 40 percent. (er-ah: Asking prices) Besides the residential towers, The Upper East will also have a lifestyle mall and commercial centers, office towers, hotel, open and green parks, church, transport hub, and an eight-lane main avenue that connects the city’s Circumferential Road to Lopez Jaena Street, among others. Its strategic location makes it accessible to the Bacolod Government Center and the city’s top universities. > https://www.manilatimes.net/2020/07/28/business/real-estate-and-property/megaworld-to-build-new-condo-in-bacolod-township/746788/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
