The Philippines-based developer Megaworld is set to construct a new office building for JPMorgan Chase Bank’s Philippine Global Service Center in Metro Manila.
Located along 38th Street corner 9th Avenue in Uptown Bonifacio, the 25-storey development will offer approximately 70,000m² of gross leasable area upon completion.
Megaworld senior vice president Jericho Go said: “Megaworld is proud to build the new home of JPMorgan Chase in Fort Bonifacio as it consolidates its existing Metro Manila operations under one roof – all in a state-of-the-art, prime and green office tower right at the heart of the booming Uptown Bonifacio.
“This multibillion peso deal with a single company is the biggest in the country’s office leasing industry.”
The new build-to-suit facility is located near the future Uptown Transport Hub next to Kalayaan Avenue, the planned Skytrain monorail system that links Taguig’s Fort Bonifacio to Makati, along with the future Kalayaan Station of the Mega Manila Subway and the Fort Bonifacio Bus Rapid Transit System.
It is touted to be biggest single office lease transaction in the Philippines in terms of total space leased to a single company as well as transaction value.
