Iloilo City’s skyline unfolds with a refreshing vista as modern skyscrapers rise inside Megaworld’s Iloilo Business Park township in Mandurriao, Iloilo.
Over the past years, Iloilo has undergone a dramatic transformation unlike any the city has seen in the past.
Led by property giant Megaworld’s 72-hectare Iloilo Business Park township, this transformation remains underway up to this day, and many have taken notice of how beautiful and invigorating the city’s landscape has changed so far. From a quiet, conservative hub, Iloilo City is brimming with so much promise and life today, evident in the kind of buzz and activity Ilonggos today are enjoying in Iloilo Business Park.
Equally iconic as well are some of the major structures along Megaworld Boulevard inside the township, including the Richmonde Tower (foreground), Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo (extreme left), and the Iloilo Convention Center (center), whose façade design is inspired by the city’s Dinagyang and Paraw Regatta Festivals.
Continuing its rise as Iloilo’s modern central business district in what was once the location of the old Mandurriao Airport, Iloilo Business Park today has become a major driver of economic progress and development in the city. Aside from the iconic 1.7-hectare Iloilo Convention Center, Megaworld has already launched 13 top-notch office developments buildings offering around 182,000 square meters of leasable office spaces, three world-class hotels, two museums, Festive Walk Iloilo—dubbed as Iloilo’s most beautiful mall—with a nearly two-kilometer long retail strip, and more inside this bustling township, all of which continue to shape the lifestyles of Ilonggos today.
At the center of all of these are the six themed Megaworld residential condominium developments that continue to dot the city’s modern skyline, ultimately becoming the preferred address for those who either want or look forward to enjoying the vibrant life inside Iloilo Business Park.
A ‘global address’ where the finest inspirations converge
The excitement for Iloilo Business Park as a thriving residential district kicked off with the rise of the three-tower One Madison Place inside Iloilo Business Park. A brief moment after, this was followed by the 16-story Lafayette Parksquare, which mirrored the beauty of European architecture to give Ilonggos unique living spaces inspired by the majestic chateaus that dot the border of Spain and France.
With an overwhelming reception over the first two residential developments inside Iloilo Business Park, Megaworld upped the ante on its premier Iloilo City township when it launched the 22-story The Palladium, the first in Western Visayas at the time that featured multilevel sky gardens that are about three-stories high each. This allowed future residents to enjoy unimpeded views of the sprawling township, as well as the rest of Iloilo City.
Saint Honore lends a charming European appeal to Iloilo Business Park, while its ground level retail and dining shops are all fully integrated into Festive Walk Parade.
Not long after, Megaworld followed through with a pair of equally stunning residential condo developments linked to each other: the French-themed Saint Honore and the Parisian-inspired Saint Dominique, which are both standing 10-stories high today. The ground level of these two residential marvels today form part of Festive Walk Parade, the longest retail and dining strip in all of Iloilo.
Just a short walk away from the towering residential clusters inside the township is Festive Walk Parade, whose architecture mirrors that of the vibrant Santana Row in San Jose, California.
An iconic skyline continues to take shape
Megaworld’s confidence in Iloilo as a vibrant residential address did not waver even at the height of the pandemic, and this was evident when Megaworld launched the 20-story The Pinnacle in 2020, its sixth residential condominium development in Iloilo Business Park.
The 22-storey ‘Italian-inspired’ Firenze is the newest residential condominium tower launched in Iloilo Business Park.
Just recently, Megaworld introduced another iconic addition to the skyline of its award-winning township when it launched the 22-story Firenze earlier this year. Inspired by the Italian city of Florence, Firenze offers 415 ‘smart home’ units, each coming equipped with wireless smart home systems that residents can access and control remotely via a smartphone app.
The International Corporate Plaza offers ‘office spaces for sale’ for local and multinational companies as well as professionals and organizations that want to establish presence in Iloilo City.
Aside from Firenze, another towering development rising inside Iloilo Business Park is the 19-story office development International Corporate Plaza. This tower offers 301 prime office units for sale to businesses, start-up companies, and established enterprises that want to set up operations in Iloilo’s modern central business district.
With these skyscrapers rising proudly to continue Iloilo City’s beautiful transformation, these residential condo developments in Megaworld’s Iloilo Business Park only serve to lend more character and charm into the iconic modern skyline of the city known as the ‘City of Love.’
Iloilo Business Park made headlines in 2018 when it bested some of the top integrated urban developments in Asia to win the coveted “Best Township Development” award at the Asia Property Awards by PropertyGuru in Bangkok, Thailand.
Iloilo Business Park is one of the 30 integrated urban developments of Megaworld Corporation, the only Philippine real estate development company to earn a ‘Hall of Fame’ distinction as ‘Best Developer’ after winning the Outstanding Developer Award at the Property and Real Estate Excellence Award by FIABCI Philippines for three straight years (2015, 2016, and 2017). The company was also named the ‘Best Developer’ at the prestigious Philippines Property Awards by PropertyGuru for three consecutive years (2016, 2017, and 2018).
