This was announced by Megaworld chief strategy officer Kevin Tan at Sugarland Hotel here Monday, September 23.
Tan said the construction is expected to be completed by 2022.
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 (IT)-BPO sector.
It 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 development here, and we look forward to bring in new BPO locators to the city,” Tan said.
“We want to show that Bacolod is really a primed location for BPO expansion,” Tan said, adding that the city has potential and growth in the BPO industry.
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 here, he added.
The No. 1 Upper East Avenue and No.5 Upper East Avenue towers will be registered under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, featuring Spanish and European architectural design.
