Iloilo Business Park: The Passion of the Past lives Up to Greater Heights

The past have always live in vibrancy and immortality in Iloilo City even though this pulsating metropolis have embrace the promises of the future. Such inspiring dreams continue to thrive in the hearts of Ilonggos because by nature, they are passionate of their cultural heritage and identity.

Probably one of the most phenomenal revitalizations of any historical landmarks in Iloilo City is the old Iloilo Airport in Mandurriao district located 5 kilometers northwest of the city's downtown area. Panay Island's first gateway to the world through domestic flights started in the 1930s when the Iloilo Airport was established. For decades of progressive operation, it was considered as the fourth-busiest airport in the Philippines, accommodating over 700,000 passengers and over 5,000 tons of cargo until its closure in 2005. When it was replaced by the new Iloilo International Airport in Cabatuan, Iloilo, the Iloilo City Government proposed to develop the property as a business commercial area.

In 2007, Megaworld Corporation, the country's leading real estate and township developer acquired the 54-hectare old Iloilo Airport property, and was envisioned to become a mixed-use residential and commercial complex. Years later, Megaworld extended its acquisition of the property for a total of 72 hectare, eyeing a more ambitious investment in Iloilo City. As a pioneering real estate company that launched the successful township projects in the country since lates 1990s, and established upscale commercial areas that became the center hub of leisure, entertainment, classy lifestyle and IT parks where Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) IT companies found its strong stability in the Philippines, Megaworld envisioned to bring these developments in the shores of Iloilo.       

What used to be a special place where families, couples or friends used to say their "goodbyes" and teary-eyed "adieus," see their loved ones leaving for work, to seek for a bright future abroad, make business somewhere else, travel a lot and meet once again to rekindle their love for each other, is destined to be transformed into a destination of dreams, experience new lifestyle and promising opportunities. This is the place where people used to see airplanes leaving and landing to the ground will now soon have a glimpse of picturesque skyscrapers and high-end buildings including residential towers One Madison Place, Lafayette Park Square and The Palladium; shopping and leisure centers Festive Walk Mall and Street of Festive Walk; BPO Buildings - One Global Center and Two Global Center where locals can find highly-competitive employment; an impressive state-of-the-art Iloilo Convention Center and international hotels of first-class standard -  Richmonde Hotel Iloilo and Courtyard by Marriot. This is going to be a lively and ever-sparkling township of endless possibilities where people can live healthy, close-to-nature and enjoy the best perks of a sophisticated, highly-urbane community of many "firsts" in Western Visayas. In these present times, it is exciting and truly fulfilling to be an Ilonggo as we get to see the swift transformation of a dream-like township and carving another notable tourism destination in the map of the region and throughout the country.

Who would have through the old Iloilo Airport will now become an effervescent face of Iloilo's relentless up-surging growth? Megaworld invested not only their life-changing plans for Iloilo City but their very-heart and success-driven visionary concept of an impressive township to make the lives of Ilonggos even better. Iloilo Business Park is poised to become the prominent crowning glory, a living treasure and the vibrant "gem" of the original "Queen's City of the South" as it continue to reap the beauty of illuminating progress, cultural elevation and living up to its vision as one of most livable metropolises in Asia today.  

This is Iloilo, a city where the grandeur of the past lives up to its glorious present. And the rise of Iloilo Business Park in the site of an old airport where love, passion and dreams of every Ilonggo took off and fly above the sky, is now the colossal starting point of a life-changing economic renaissance, a spark of impressive developments meant to be remembered in history.
