Known for its scenic beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture, Cebu is rapidly emerging as the next key business hub. The province’s dynamic market has been evolving with developers focusing on integrated communities that blend retail, residential, and leisure experiences. The city also integrates spaces and establishments that cater to modern dwellers who seek convenience, accessibility, and quality living.
According to Colliers Philippines Research, the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 5.6 percent in 2024, with Cebu being one of the largest contributors and key drivers of economic expansion. For 2025, the national economy is expected to project a forecasted growth rate of 6.1 percent to 8.0 percent. Meanwhile, major infrastructure projects such as the Cebu Rapid Transit, Cebu-Mactan 4th Bridge, and Metro Cebu Expressway are progressing, further enhancing connectivity and economic growth. Its expanding economic landscape, bolstered by its strategic location and ongoing infrastructure advancements, has led to a rising demand for premium office spaces from global and local enterprises.
In the 2024 year-end market report by CBRE Group Inc., office occupancy in Cebu increased up to almost 80 percent comparable to 80.1 percent in Manila. With an 85 percent demand from the Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) industry. The IT-BPM industry also dominated the quarterly office demand in Cebu sub-districts such as IT Park and Fringe. Meanwhile, traditional businesses ruled the Business Park and Mactan sub-districts with 64 percent and 59 percent respectively.
With this dynamic market, businesses now have the opportunity to expand beyond Manila and establish a strong presence in Cebu. The city’s rising economy, developing infrastructure, and increasing demand for commercial spaces position it as an ideal destination for investment and business expansion.
