SM Offices, the commercial leasing arm of Sy-led SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SM Prime), continues to grow its presence in the provinces with the ₱700-million development of its 11th office tower in Clark and plans to expand further into the warehouse leasing space.

In a media briefing, SM Prime Vice President and SM Offices Head Alexis L. Ortiga said Tech Hub Tower 11 will have 18,000 to 19,000 square meters (sqm)  of leasable space located five floors above the podium of SM Clark Grand Central Station.

Also called SM Clark Skylink Terminal, this is SM Clark district’s key node that will connect directly to Clark International Airport by 2028 via North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR).

“With major infrastructure projects improving access and connectivity, we believe SM City Clark complex will become even more attractive to locators seeking high-quality workspaces outside Metro Manila,” said Ortiga.

SM Offices has achieved a 100-percent occupancy rate across its more than 100,000-sqm, 10-tower Tech Hub complex at Clark Special Economic Zone in Angeles City, Pampanga province. Most of its tenants are global information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) and multinational companies with long-term lease agreements.

“The full utilization of Clark Tech Hub underscores sustained demand for global-standard, sustainable workspaces outside Metro Manila. It also affirms the strong positioning of SM City Clark complex as a major regional business district,” said Ortiga.

Aside from SM Offices, SM City Clark complex houses SM City Clark, the second SM supermall in Pampanga. National University (NU), SMX Convention Center, and Park Inn by Radisson Clark are also located in the area, creating an integrated environment for work, retail, education, events, and hospitality.

The nine-story Tech Hub Tower 11 expansion will add more office space to the existing cluster, further reinforcing Clark’s position as a premier alternative to Metro Manila’s traditional central business districts (CBDs).

The expansion will integrate human-centric design highlighted by a 12,000-sqm sky garden. The green space within the complex is designed to promote employee well-being, collaboration, and everyday connectivity.

Sustainability is a core component of Clark Towers’ value proposition, enhancing both operational efficiency and user experience. Solar energy systems, water conservation measures such as graywater reuse and low-flow fixtures, and indoor air quality improvements collectively reduce resource demand while supporting occupant well-being.

These are complemented by structured programs for hazardous waste management and the responsible collection of paper, plastics, electronic waste, and used lead-acid batteries.

Meanwhile, Ortiga said SM Prime’s commercial properties group, which handles the offices, estates, and logistics warehouses businesses, intends to build more warehouses amid growing demand.

“We definitely have more plans to add more warehouses to the SM commercial properties group portfolio. In fact, we just recently closed a 40,000-sqm site with SPX, which is the Shopee logistics partner,” he said.

Ortiga noted that “we see the logistics industry as one of our growth engines.”
