Another business process outsourcing (BPO) company is coming to Cebu for the first time.
United States-based Concentrix is set to open for BPO operations in Megaworld’s The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City (pictured) by the second half of this year. The firm will initially occupy around 2,600 sqm of office space on the entire second floor of Tower 3 of 8 Newtown Boulevard. It will be the fourth BPO company to open its Cebu operations in the 30-hectare urban township development that boasts of its own beachfront, following the entry of The Results Companies, Enfra USA and Manulife.
“The entry of Concentrix in Cebu, through The Mactan Newtown, is a clear indication of our continuing commitment to build the largest cyberpark in Mactan and to further strengthen Cebu’s position as the country’s top BPO hub,” said Jericho P. Go, Senior Vice President, Megaworld.
The mixed-use cluster of 8 Newtown Boulevard boasts of four office towers with total leasable space of around 33,000 sqm. Each tower has three floors of office spaces while the ground floor will be leased for commercial and retail purposes. The three levels of Tower 1 are now occupied by The Results Companies, which expanded its operations from One World Center this year.
“The existing BPO companies in The Mactan Newtown have been ecstatic about the future of the township especially after we revealed our plans for the beachfront and the Mactan Shrine area. Where else in the country can you find a workplace that is just a few steps away from the beach,” explained Go.
The company has allocated P 30 billion to develop The Mactan Newtown for a period of seven to ten years.
