Iloilo Business Park, Megaworld's stunning mixed-use integrated urban township rising at the old Iloilo Airport in Mandurriao district epitomizes a relentless elevation for Iloilo City as the newest center point of business, commerce, lifestyle, investment and tourism within a 72-hectare property. Iloilo Business Park is now the home of the biggest IT-BPO Park in Western Visayas with an expected 10 BPO Buildings rising in the next few years, giving bright opportunities for local workforce to attain competitive employment offered by multinational BPO companies. BPO companies Transcom and StarTek now operates in the township's newly-completed BPO Buildings One Global Center and Two Global Center.

It's an all-time high for upscale, high-end living as IBP captivates the imagination and lifestyle preference of Ilonggos and investors with their three multi-faceted residential towers such as the 3-tower One Madison Place, classic-themed Lafayette Park Square and the tallest tower in the region with 22 floors and 4 sky gardens - The Palladium. Iloilo's title as the "city of love" is further emphasized with the opening of Richmonde Hotel Iloilo and next year's Courtyard by Marriot. These two international hotels provides the highest standard of accommodation, distinct comfort and heartfelt service that replicates the Ilonggo's "warmth and welcoming nature."

Representing a new culture of shopping, pleasure and leisure experience, the township's two high-end entertainment centers - Megaworld Lifestyle-inspired Festive Walk Mall and longest shop-and-dine strip - Street of Festive Walk, emulates Iloilo's flair for unique flavors, good food, nightlife affinity and discriminating taste for pleasure. Expect a colorful convergence of classy bistros, restaurants, international-branded boutiques, retail shops and 8 world-class entertainment cinemas at these two significant establishments. Proving as the newest epicenter of finance and business in VisMin, IBP will open the largest commercial district in Western Visayas where businesses and investment potential will surge high, enough to attract investors and visitors to share a slide of success happening in Iloilo City. The Iloilo Convention Center (ICC) will be opening on September 14 with both cultural pride and vibrant possibilities of claiming as the most modern convention venue in the country boasting with 3,700 seating capacity and function rooms. ICC is the venue of APEC 2015 Ministerial Meetings on September 21- October 6 with expected arrival of foreign dignitaries, guests and visitors taking a glimpse of the city's rich cultural heritage and sustainable developments.

By far, IBP is Megaworld's biggest single investment worth P35 billion, ready to transform this once sleepy city into one of the most livable metropolis in the world. IBP upholds the vision as Megaworld's true fulfillment of its successful "live-work-play" extraordinary township slogan that will re-write and bring Iloilo to a prestigious level of progress, it's truest "claim-to-fame" edge as the original "Queen City of the South."

This 2015, IBP will open the gateway as more than just a tangible picture of progress and lifestyle elevation for Ilonggos and investors. More than a BIG reason to invest and live beautifully, it is destined to make a new MARK and a new HISTORY for Iloilo City... the countdown begins right now!

Excited to find out about it? It's happening very soon. Yes, IBP is Iloilo's BIGGEST STORY ever!
