Robinsons Galleria along S. Osmeña Road will allot 9,000 sq.m. of office space for the business process outsourcing companies.
BUSINESS process outsourcing (BPO) office spaces at the new Robinsons Galleria are scheduled for turnover in March 2016.
Property consultant Colliers International said in a statement that 9,000 square meters of office space will be allotted for BPOs at the third and fourth floor of the new mall. The area has been proclaimed an information technology (IT) center by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza).
Locators will have a dedicated office lobby along S. Osmeña Road to ensure that employees will have access to the offices beyond mall hours.
Bryan David, Colliers International associate director for landlord representation, said mall developer Robinsons Land Corp. will provide VRF air conditioning units inside the leased premises with floors ready to accept carpet tiles, sprinklers and smoke detectors.
BPO locators can also choose to receive the space complete with a fully functional ceiling – a flexibility not offered by most landlords in Cebu.
“Providing these two features alone already provides significant savings on the capital expenditure of locators. Some landlords in Cebu leave it up to the tenants to provide topping on the floor and install their own AC units,” David said in the statement.
The Robinsons Galleria mall, which is Robinsons Land’s biggest outside Metro Manila, is part of a 4.7-hectare mixed-use development at the Cebu North Reclamation Area. The mall will offer 158,000 square meters of leasable space. Aside from the mall, the development will consist of a hotel and residential towers.
Colliers International is the sole leasing agent for the BPO office spaces.
