Robinsons Offices recently hosted the topping off ceremony for Cybergate Iloilo Tower 3, the latest addition to its award-winning Robinsons Cybergate Iloilo Towers complex. Esteemed guests, including key government officials, project partners, and Robinsons Land Corporation executives, witnessed this significant milestone for both the company and the province of Iloilo.
Earlier this year, Robinsons Offices unveiled its new logo, a symbol that encapsulates its dedication to “premiumizing” the office experience through a range of premium, accessible, future-ready, and sustainable developments. Cybergate Iloilo Tower 3 fully embodies this upwardly mobile direction with its sophisticated design features, such as the facade's aluminum-accented glass curtain and building interiors that pay homage to Iloilo’s celebrated Dinagyang festival and its indigenous textiles. With an efficient floor plate design, the majority of the building’s office spaces do not have visible columns that could obstruct their occupants’ picture-perfect views of Iloilo’s lush, green countryside.
In Robinsons Offices’ thrust towards responsible development, a key highlight of Cybergate Iloilo Towers 1 and 2 is their commitment to sustainability. As the first LEED-certified office project in Western Visayas, Cybergate Iloilo meticulously adheres to globally recognized green building principles. The complex has its own sewage treatment plant that is compliant with wastewater effluents standards, a highly efficient Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air-conditioning system that provides significant energy savings compared to traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and LED lighting to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency, among others.
With 12 floors of office space (apart from a dedicated floor for parking and another for retail spaces), Cybergate Iloilo Tower 3 is the tallest of the three office buildings in the complex. Tower 1 has five floors of office space, while Tower 2 has eight. All towers are meticulously designed to cater to the needs of a variety of enterprises, including BPOs, IT companies, and even traditional businesses, as they offer world-class office facilities and premium amenities that foster a conducive environment for growth and success.
With a highly strategic location, the Cybergate Iloilo Towers offer unparalleled convenience and accessibility. Robinsons Land’s 8-hectare Pavia Complex is located approximately 12 kilometers (just a 20-minute drive) from the Iloilo International Airport (ILO). For Manila-based businesses interested in expanding their operations, Iloilo is only a short 70-minute plane ride away. Moreover, Cybergate Iloilo has its own transport hub, providing seamless connectivity to various destinations within and outside the province. With routes connecting Pavia to other major urban areas of Iloilo such as Jaro, Calinog, and Iloilo City, the nearby towns of Tapaz, Dumalag, and Cabatuan, as well as Roxas City in Capiz, to name a few, it solidifies its position as the ideal business address in the booming province. The neighboring Robinsons Pavia mall is another major perk for Cybergate Iloilo tenants, as it provides a wealth of dining, entertainment, and retail options for building occupants and their visitors.
Another advantage of Cybergate Iloilo’s location is the large labor force and deep talent pool generated by the many excellent centers of higher education in Western Visayas. Western Visayas boasts impressive labor analytics, including a functional literacy rate of 91.3% and a basic literacy rate of 96.6%. Moreover, the region produces a significant number of tertiary education graduates, totaling 15,000 per year. Majority of the graduates come from the fields of Healthcare (19.33%), Business Administration (18.74%), Engineering and Technology (12.32%), Education (11.67%), and Maritime Education (8.21%). With 27 state universities and colleges in the region, such as UP Visayas, West Visayas State University, Central Philippine University, University of San Agustin, and John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University, Cybergate Iloilo indeed benefits from a rich pool of highly skilled and educated talent, making it an ideal location for businesses seeking qualified professionals.
Iloilo’s future business address of choice nears completion. Celebrating at the topping off ceremony are (from left) Engr. Ben Cabral, Constech Vice President for Operations; Pavia Vice Mayor Edsel G. Gerochi; Rep. Michael B. Gorriceta of Iloilo's Second District; Leonardo Cabungcal, President of Damatech Plus and Construction; Jericho P. Go, RLC Senior Vice President and Robinsons Offices General Manager; Engr. Manny Arce, RLC Vice President for Construction; Honor Mendoza, President of SPES Construction; JP Balboa, Robinsons Offices’ Vice President for Leasing; and Arch. Neilmar Tappa, JSLA Senior Architect.
“With projects such as Cybergate Iloilo that stimulate job creation in the region, Robinsons Offices helps promote the reverse migration effect, which in turn keeps many Filipino families together while serving as agents to nation-building and economic development,” said Jericho P. Go, Robinsons Offices’ Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager.
Along these lines, Robinsons Offices' parent company, Robinsons Land Corporation, has a long-standing commitment to the development of Iloilo as well as other nearby provinces. By building several malls and a thriving hotel in the province, RLC continually demonstrates its belief in the Western Visayas’ potential for equitable and sustainable growth.
Recognized as the Best BPO Office Development during the 2023 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, Cybergate Iloilo Towers 1 and 2 gracefully epitomize Robinsons Offices' commitment to excellence and sustainability, which moves forward with the addition of its newest tower.
Upon completion, Cybergate Iloilo Tower 3 will stand as a symbol of progress in the heart of Pavia, a rapidly developing municipality that finely balances urban convenience with rural charm. The modern office tower will proudly reflect Robinsons Offices’ commitment to excellence and stewardship, as well as its dedication to providing premium office spaces that inspire innovation and productivity. With its blend of modernity, respect for the province’s rich cultural heritage, and passion for sustainability, Robinsons Offices’ Cybergate Iloilo is most certainly the business address of choice today, and will be so in the many decades to come.
