Office developer and landlord Megaworld has successfully completed Bacolod City’s most modern and state-of-the-art office tower, and its first office development inside its 34-hectare The Upper East township.
Offering a total of 8,740 square meters of office space, the four-story No. 1 Upper East Avenue is patterned after the Silicon Valley-inspired campus-style buildings in Megaworld’s McKinley Hill and McKinley West townships in Taguig City. It was recently awarded the Best Office Architectural Design (Highly Commended) at the 12th Philippines Property Awards by PropertyGuru, according to a press release from the company.
The new development is Bacolod City’s first office building to be registered for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
The new office tower is set to become one of the most modern and greenest buildings in Bacolod City, featuring energy-efficient technologies throughout its common areas and facilities. These include energy-saving LED lighting, dual-flush technology for toilets, and double-glazed windows for heat insulation and natural lighting. The building also boasts a 24/7 100 percent back-up generator to ensure uninterrupted power in case of outages.
Employees will also have access to four elevators, expansive comfort rooms with showers and a landscaped garden on the roof deck, allowing them to breathe and enjoy sweeping views of the rest of the township and nearby mountains.
The new office building boasts advanced security features including round-the-clock deployment of security personnel, 24/7 CCTV cameras, walk-through door frame metal detector at the entrance, ID card-activated swing barrier turnstile gate and biometrics-activated door locks.
No. 1 Upper East Avenue also features over 100 basement and ground-level parking for the convenience of its tenants and employees. Parking areas are also designed with smooth and painted pavements with markings and equipped with advanced traffic lights systems for added safety for vehicles.
Guests and employees in the new office tower will be welcomed to a carefully-designed and curated ground-floor lobby.
Also at the ground floor will be a recruitment center, cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, and shops that will be facing an expansive plaza.*
