Megaworld Expansion Brings New Opportunities to Pampanga, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Davao
Megaworld Corporation’s regional expansion, led by Kevin Tan, is creating significant opportunities for businesses, employees, and local communities as its provincial offices reach full occupancy. Tan’s strategy focuses on decentralizing corporate operations and developing integrated townships that combine offices, residences, and lifestyle hubs—driving economic growth in key provincial cities.
Full Occupancy Signals Growing Demand
Across Pampanga, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Davao, Megaworld’s township offices have achieved 100% occupancy, showing that regional hubs are becoming prime destinations for companies. In Central Luzon, both the Pasudeco Tower and the first Clark Cityfront Tower are fully leased, attracting firms seeking cost-efficient locations without sacrificing accessibility.
In the Visayas, the Iloilo Business Park, spanning 170,000 square meters, has also reached full capacity. The hub is set to welcome a new Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) regional center, further solidifying the city’s position as a key financial and business destination. Meanwhile, in Mindanao, the 30,000-square-meter Davao Finance Center has reached full utilization, signaling strong interest from local and national companies.
Job Creation and Industry Opportunities of Megaworld’s Expansion
The provincial sweep is translating into concrete benefits for local economies. Bacolod, for instance, is preparing to open a second tower at The Upper East, adding nearly 9,000 square meters of premium office space. This expansion is expected to generate approximately 10,000 new jobs, particularly in logistics, insurance, and manufacturing sectors.
Similarly, Iloilo’s new BSP regional center will create employment for finance and administrative professionals, while Pampanga and Davao continue to attract diverse industries, offering positions in corporate services, IT, and business support.
Driving Regional Growth
Megaworld’s expansion is not just about office space; it’s about building vibrant live-work-play townships that stimulate economic activity. Fully leased offices encourage businesses to invest locally, increase spending in nearby retail and hospitality, and strengthen regional talent pools. With 1.7 million square meters of operational office space, Megaworld is now closer to its 2 million square meter target by 2030, providing a sustainable pipeline for growth in the provinces.
