Robinsons Offices started the year on a strong note as it 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, Robinsons Land Corporation executives, and project partners, 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 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 for converting graywater into harmless liquids, a highly efficient Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air conditioning system that provides significant energy savings compared to traditional HVAC systems, and LED lighting to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency, among others.
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 the rest of Iloilo such as Jaro, Calinog, and Iloilo City and the nearby towns of Tapaz, Dumalag, Cabatuan, and Roxas City in Capiz, to name a few, it solidifies its position as the perfect business address in the booming province. Of course, having the Robinsons Pavia mall right next door is also a major bonus, as it provides a wealth of dining, entertainment, and retail options for building occupants and their visitors.
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.
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. “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 Mr. Jericho P. Go, Robinsons Offices’ Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager.
Along these lines, Robinsons Offices' parent company, Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), 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.
With its upcoming 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.
Hats off to Robinsons Offices’ newest milestone. The key government officials, RLC executives, and project partners mark the Cybergate Iloilo Tower 3 topping off with a salute.
