Aboitizland said occupants of the five-story iMEZ will be assured of dependable power supply at competitive costs. The building, which will be located at the 1.8-hectare expansion area of the Pueblo Verde commercial center fronting the Mactan Economic Zone (MEZ) 2 in Lapu-Lapu City, is expected to be completed and will be operational by March next year. With its design complementing the modern Filipino-Spanish atmosphere of the entire commercial bloc, iMEZ will also house coffee shops, fastfood outlets, casual dining places and bakery or pastry stores at the ground floor, within an area of about 550 square meters. The second to fifth levels of the building, with a combined area of 4,000 square meters, will house BPO companies. “Apart from its proximity to hospitals, hotels and airport, iMEZ is a Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) zone so BPO offices will get tax incentives,” said Floramie Vega, commercial leasing manager of AboitizLand. AboitizLand Inc.’s sister company, the Mactan Enerzone Corp., will distribute power to its retail and BPO locators at a competitive cost. “The power is far, far cleaner than what you get from others because there are less fluctuations. If you are a BPO company, downtimes are minimized and you will get long-term benefits, such that continuity of your operation is ensured,” said Allan Alfon, assistant vice president of Aboitizland Inc. and general manager for the property management commercial leasing special projects. Other salient features of iMEZ include 200 percent power backup, modern Filipino-Spanish architecture, ample parking space and underground utilities, among others. AboitizLand is already working on enhancements—such as new roads, landscaping and underground utilities-of the expansion area of Pueblo Verde, which is designed to serve not only MEZ 2 employees but also the residential community in the area and tourists. Pueblo Verde’s transportation terminal, which serves employees and adjoining barangays, will be moved from its present location to the expansion site. “(The company) is looking at a budget of over P25 million for the enhancement alone. It’s a big investment. There will be a separate budget for iMEZ,” said Vega and Alfon. Medium-term plans for the expansion area will include a grocery store that, Alfon believes, would be useful to MEZ 2 employees as well a business hotel.
