Standing  at the Cebu IT Park gateway, Cebu Exchange will be the Philippines’s largest multi-certified green office tower with approximately 11 hectares of office gross floor area along with five stories of premier retail along Salinas Drive. 

The Aboitiz-led UnionBank considers Cebu as a strategic growth-engine for the entire country. With digital transformation rapidly happening throughout the archipelago, the bank wants to ensure it  remains at the forefront to service growing business needs—whether digital or physical. 

UnionBank was also impressed with Cebu Exchange’s capacity to optimally support “phygital” initiatives so that brands and enterprises can effectively execute newer consumer-focused marketing blending smart “digital” experiences within an interactive “physical” location. Cebu Exchange has the fiber-optic pathways are designed to provide tenants like UnionBank with uninterrupted, high-speed data connection critical to the seamless operations of their trailblazing ARK digital branch.

“This is why Cebu Exchange will be the home of one of our most-advanced ARK digital branches as well as  our Cebu headquarters. Together, these should allow UnionBank to continue delivering best-in-class phygital banking services in Cebu,” said Edwin R. Bautista, UnionBank president and chief executive officer. “The bank made Cebu a region-in-itself, and not just the hub for the Visayas, so that all Cebu-based UnionBankers can now focus 100 percent on serving and enabling the  banking and business needs of the Cebuanos,” Bautista added.

Meanwhile, Esquire Financing, a staunch supporter of empowering the small and medium-sized businesses chose Cebu Exchange as its principal headquarters for Cebu and Visayas because of its strategic location and design excellence. 

“The Cebu Exchange had everything we wanted for our regional hub, apart from being perfectly situated in the Cebu Central Business District, we were impressed by its sustainable features and future-ready  facilities. The same can be said with Arthaland’s other projects, such as the Savya Financial Center in Taguig City where we have partnered with Arthaland in its development. It will also  be the future site of our Philippine headquarters,” said Rajan Uttamchandani, Esquire Financing Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a press statement.       

On the other hand, the Cebu-based  Tan family was encouraged by their relatives who have vouched for the company’s excellent track record from exceptional quality from design to execution and even service. Being in the construction industry themselves,  the relatives of the Tan family have a deeper appreciation of  the company’s vision and mantra for building green, which extends to educating the community and encouraging unit owners and tenants to participate and promote  environmental sustainability.

According to the Tan siblings, working with Arthaland for the Cebu Exchange project was a pleasant experience as efficiency was present in every department. With the teams working efficiently despite the challenging times, the Tan family and Arthaland were able to deliver the units on time and as scheduled.

Moreover, they have enrolled their units with Arthaland’s Consolidated Leasing Solutions  (CLS), which provides them with a hassle-free solution to maximize their investment. Through CLS, their units will  be combined with other units within the same floor and will thereafter be offered for lease to larger companies  and  multinational companies. This will bring them ease and convenience of dealing with just one entity to manage    possible tenants from negotiation to rental collections.   

Cebu Exchange is scheduled for completion and handover  of Phase 2 will be in April 2022. Furthermore, Cebu Exchange is multi-certified development, having just been Pre-Certified for the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard in addition to having previously been Pre-Certified Gold for the US Green Building    Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design  (LEED) and Design Certified 5-Stars for the Philippine Green Building Council’s Building for Ecologically  Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE). It is also registered  and on track for the International Finance  Corporation’s (a member of the World Bank Group) Excellence in Design for Greater  Efficiencies (EDGE) certification. It was awarded Best Office High Rise Development in the 2019 Japan International Property Awards, Best Commercial Landscape Architectural Design at the 2019 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, and as the Best Office Development in the Philippines 2018 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards.
