New high-rise IT and commercial buildings sprouting inside Asiatown IT park and reclamation area in Cebu are one of the many indicators that the future of IT (Information Technology) and related businesses is good, confident and promising. Physical infrastructure such as buildings, parks and econ-zones serves as the foundation for businesses to grow. These latest developments are reminiscent to the famed Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan which the government helped put up in the late 80s. Hsinchu Science Park today houses around 200 companies mostly high-tech laboratories, electronic and semiconductor manufactoring plants and wafer/chip fabrication companies, generating an staggering billions of dollars in revenue every year.
It won't be so long when Cebu will be in the same position. All it has to do is move forward, put more developments on its infrastructure and become a magnet for businessmen, software engineers, scientists and technopreneurs to set up their own companies. Not Silicon, its Mango Valley rising up in the east.

that information is really good! it helps me alot in our study.. i have a question.. please reply on your comment.. is it good to propose a high rise mixed-use commercial building at It park? this high rise mixed-use building consist of retail spaces at ground floor, call center spaces at the nxt floor and a residential unit at the top.. what do you think?? i need your advise and idea because this is our study.. thank you.
heya there, sorry i just noticed your comment. first of, thanks for dropping by.
personally, i don't think residential and commercial spaces mix up well, specially in a filipino environment. its really a mess. commercial/business establishments have different requirements in terms of infra, security, amenities, and policies (yes the basic building dress code). basically, its a tight environment. a residential environment is a loose one or you may call it a playground, where you can picture kidz running around. if you mixed the two, one should give in to the other. there are few like that in cebu like keppel building in ayala and golden peak in escario. i never heard positive reviews about these buildings. i would suggest you ask around. thanks
