RLC to expand in Ilocos Norte, Naga

GOKONGWEI-LED property developer Robinsons Land Corp. is debuting in the fledgling office property markets of Ilocos Norte and Naga this year as part of new commercial centers rising in these upcoming business process outsourcing (BPO) hubs.

In an interview on Friday, RLC office building division general manager Faraday Go said new office hubs in Cebu, Ilocos and Naga would be completed this year. 

These three new office properties will add 22,000 square meters to RLC’s office space portfolio this year. The existing office space in the portfolio is about 310,000 sq m.

By 2017, RLC expects to have a nationwide office portfolio of 510,000 sq m, including those to be completed within Metro Manila.

At the sidelines of the ground-breaking for the twin towers Exxa and Zeta in Bridgetowne, Quezon City, on Friday, Go said key BPO players were expanding in the Philippines while new names were making inquiries on upcoming projects.

The new office hub in Cebu, which is located within the brand-new Robinsons Galleria Cebu in General Maxilom Avenue corner Sergio Osmeña, will be RLC’s second office property in this metropolis.
