Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) is banking on its position as the premier office building developer as it continues to develop more office spaces around the country, primarily for the business process outsourcing sector.
With its existing and upcoming projects spanning Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, RLC is the only developer of BPO and office spaces with truly a nationwide reach. It also boasts of the widest spread in Mega Manila with seven existing sites and more coming up in Manila, Sucat, Cubao, Sta. Rosa in Laguna and Imus in Cavite.
It claims that this wide reach will work to the advantage of tenants in attracting skilled personnel as it brings the offices to where the workforce is and thus makes it more desirable for prospective employees since they will be working close to home and eliminates the need to relocate or travel long distances daily.
The firm is the preferred landlord of some of the biggest names in the BPO sector because its projects feature above-industry standards and world-class facilities that are tailor-made to suit the preferences of their tenants.
Among these features is the synergy of its Office Buildings Division and Commercial Centers Division in creating dynamic BPO hubs that provide employees of BPO firms with convenient dining and shopping options as well as various services.
With round-the-clock service and power provisions, world-class facilities and infrastructure, RLC offers premium BPO office spaces that clients are looking for to be able to sustain their long-term business operations. In addition, RLC has a solid track record of completing its projects on schedule so there will be no delay for tenants eager to start commercial operations.
A testament to the quality of its office projects, RLC boasts of full or near full occupancy for its existing BPO buildings: Robinsons Equitable Tower, Galleria Corporate Center, Robinsons Summit Center, Robinsons Cybergate 1 &2.
Meanwhile, recently completed Robinsons Cybergate 3 is fast filling up because of its strategic location.
Employees and call centers agents find working in Robinsons Pioneer Complex convenient since the complex has transport terminals, is accessible to the MRT station, and has a specialty shopping mall, Robinsons Forum that offers high tech gadgets, gizmos the latest in digital appliances and equipment and a newly-opened al fresco area. Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket and Robinsons Movieworld are also located inside the mall.
Presently, RLC hosts the leading and largest global BPO companies in the country today. Among them are Accenture, Convergys, Hewlett-Packard, Sitel, Sykes, Teletech and West Contact Services. These BPO players occupy RLC’s office buildings with expansive and flexible floor plates. Recent entry to RSC’s roster is Emerson Electric (Asia) Ltd.
Accenture, a global management consulting and technology service company, which is a major tenant in Robinsons Cybergate Towers 1 & 2, is now also housed in the new Tower 3.
Traditional full-service office spaces in RLC buildings are also occupied by Philippine-based and international firms such as Fitness First, HRG/Marsman Drysdale, Corporate Executive Offices, Inc. and L’Oreal.
RLC is also gearing up for the increase in demand by BPOs. The Sonata Complex in Mandaluyong is just one among its properties geared up for a very promising BPO project development.
Aside from these office buildings, RLC also has a growing portfolio of BPO spaces integrated into its commercial centers located in different regions in the country. Among these are Forum Robinsons (Mandaluyong), Robinsons Nova Market, Robinsons Place Otis, Robinsons Cainta, Robinsons Luisita (Tarlac), Robinsons Place Sta. Rosa (Laguna), Robinsons Cybergate Bacolod, Robinsons Place Dasmariñas, Robinsons Place Lipa and the upcoming Robinsons Cybergate Davao. RLC’s other upcoming mixed-use developments and complex like Robinsons Place Tacloban and Robinsons Cybergate Cebu will also offer BPO office spaces.
