The towers will be strategically located along the township’s main avenue, the six-lane Upper East Avenue which connects the city’s main streets of Lopez Jaena and Circumferential Road. Both towers will be facing the soon-to-rise Upper East Mall, and they will sandwich the township’s central park.
“These two new office towers will be Megaworld’s first office developments in Bacolod, and we look forward to bring in new BPO locators to the city. To be operated under our Megaworld Premier Offices brand, these Upper East Avenue towers will showcase the company’s signature state-of-the-art features in office developments – making them the most modern offices to rise in Bacolod City,” says Kevin L. Tan, chief strategy officer, Megaworld.

Featuring Spanish and European architectural design, the No. 1 Upper East Avenue and No. 5 Upper East Avenue towers will be registered under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.
They will have roof gardens, and both towers will utilize LED lightings in common areas, dual-flush technology for toilets, and double-glazed windows for heat insulation and energy-efficiency.

“These will be the only office buildings in the entire Bacolod City that are located within a fully masterplanned township development, where everything is just within easy reach,” explains Tan.
Megaworld will spend Php 1.2-billion to build the two BPO towers in Bacolod, which are scheduled for completion in 2022.
