MANILA, Philippines – Filinvest Land Inc.’s (FLI) newest mixed-use high-rise development in Makati, 100 West, provides an ideal stage for forward-thinking investors.
Makati’s re-emergence is fueled by the continuous rise of the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry from which the city heavily benefits. “Business in the Philippines is in a state of constant growth and the BPO industry owns the lion’s share accounting for 63 percent of office space, along with the fact that 75 percent of BPO-IT jobs are in Metro Manila,” said Mai Yang, assistant vice president for project development and high-rise buildings of Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI). Of the various BPO offices scattered around the metro, a good third are based in Makati.
The BPO boom has ushered in an influx of millennials — lifestyle-oriented middle and upper-class citizens — as they comprise bulk of the workforce. The Gen-Y’ers come in droves to indulge in the many bars, exhibits, gigs, and other happenings in Makati’s Guijo and P. Burgos streets, and weekend markets such as the Salcedo Community Market and the Legazpi Sunday Market. This constant stream of consumers in Makati presents further business opportunities and ventures within the city.
100 West presents itself as an ideal development in Makati. In the recently held 100 West groundbreaking event, Steve C. Chien, FLI senior vice president and Metro Manila Cluster head said, “We wanted to bring the three essential aspects of modern life together — business, retail, and residential — through 100 West. We envision this project as a fully integrated lifestyle hub that provides accessibility to the northern and southern parts of Metro Manila because of existing and planned government improvements of road networks.”
This unique integration makes 100 West a strategically placed mixed-use development. By offering everything that one needs — be it home, retail, or business — all under one roof, 100 West is able to cater and provide whatever the millennial citizen may need. Also, 100 West’s completion will coincide with that of the government’s Skyway Stage 3, which will connect the northern and southern parts of Metro Manila. 100 West will be located just a short walk from the Buendia on-off ramp, thus making 100 West an ideal jump-off point with easy access to every part of Metro Manila.
“100 West is not just a building; it is a hub that will be able to foster the steady growth of the metropolis,” added Chien. And it is this wave of growth that beckons the smart investor to seize a great opportunity — an opportunity inherent to 100 West.
