How Megaworld’s Visayas Townships Are Powering the Region’s Economic Rise
The Visayas is fast becoming the next powerhouse of Philippine growth, thanks to the steady rise of Megaworld’s Visayas townships. These large-scale, master-planned developments are transforming once-quiet regional cities into vibrant economic centers—fueling investments, creating jobs, and attracting both local and global businesses. As the country shifts toward regional decentralization, Megaworld stands at the forefront, turning the Visayas into a hub of modern progress and opportunity.
Driving Regional Economic Acceleration
To start, Megaworld’s Visayas townships redefine how cities grow by integrating offices, residential spaces, hotels, and leisure hubs into one dynamic ecosystem. Each township operates as a self-sustaining city, generating consistent business activity while supporting local employment and tourism.
Furthermore, these developments align with the government’s “Build Better More” vision—anchoring economic momentum outside Metro Manila. By positioning its estates near airports, government centers, and tourism corridors, Megaworld ensures each project contributes directly to regional accessibility and competitiveness.
From Cebu to Iloilo: The Rise of New Business Districts
In Cebu, The Mactan Newtown serves as Lapu-Lapu City’s first-ever central business district. It has quickly become a magnet for companies and investors, supported by modern infrastructure and direct airport access. Beyond offices and condos, it has also drawn global hospitality brands and hosted major tourism events—boosting local enterprises and the city’s appeal as a business gateway.
Meanwhile, The Upper East in Bacolod has redefined urban growth in Negros Occidental. Built beside the Bacolod City Government Center, this township attracts investors with its strong civic integration, modern infrastructure, and growing residential market. It hosts major commercial establishments, high-end hotels, and offices that bring thousands of new jobs to the region.

Additionally, Iloilo Business Park now anchors Western Visayas’ business landscape. With over 150,000 square meters of BPO office space and 15,000 employees, it drives continuous investment inflows. It also fosters cultural pride through museums and festivals, proving that economic progress and heritage can coexist harmoniously.
Tourism and Investment Strength in Boracay
Beyond urban centers, Boracay Newcoast elevates tourism-led development. This 150-hectare estate by Megaworld subsidiary GERI combines exclusive residential villages, hotels, leisure zones, and international dining brands. As a result, Boracay has attracted more high-value travelers and investors, ensuring that tourism growth remains sustainable and inclusive.
Shaping the Future of Regional Growth
Ultimately, Megaworld’s Visayas townships embody how private sector innovation can transform regional economies. By creating integrated urban ecosystems that balance commerce, culture, and community, these developments power inclusive progress while lessening the country’s dependence on Metro Manila.
As the Philippines continues its journey toward balanced, region-driven growth, Megaworld’s Visayas townships will remain key players, pushing the Visayas to the forefront of the nation’s economic future.
