Taft Property Building soon to rise at Cebu Business Park


Despite the rise and fall of a few businesses and amidst the national issues and challenges that beset the country today, Cebu finds another seed to nourish.

Yes, another project which puts weight on business convenience and accessibility, better transactions, and economic elevation.
Highly technological in design and minimalist in physical guise, the Taft Property Building is expected to rise at Cebu Business Park early next year, sharing a similar economic vision with adjacent commercial buildings, which is to create impact in the lives of business individuals and the community.

A one-level infrastructure designed by RMJM Design Firm, the building is a fascination in itself as it deviates from the usual towering structure within the business hub.

It will serve as the future home of four distinguished industry leaders of different disciplines: Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. (HSBC), Taft Property Ventures and Development, Inc., Grand Holidays Travel and Tours, Inc. and Wealthbank.

Partnering leaders

The four establishments have undoubtedly created a niche in their respective fields and have continuously served their clients with professionalism, distinction in products and services, and dynamism.

HSBC, the largest tenant among the four, is famed worldwide as one of the biggest, conservative and most profitable banks. CEO Warner Manning admits a parallel belief with the developers of Taft Property Building: that Cebu is the “it” place in the Visayas and Mindanao, and has all the potentials to bring forth commercial developments.

A support team to the torism and airline industries, Grand Holidays continues to pursue its commitment to provide friendly travel packages, excellent customer assistance, and good relationship with the tourism and hospitality sectors.

Wealthbank, a new development bank operating in six locations in Metro Cebu, is celebrating its 37th anniversary today. It assures continued expansion to level up the leaders in the thrift bank category.

To broaden its existence, it will soon offer automated teller machine (ATM) and credit cards. It is majority owned by the Metro Gaisano Group with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) as its equity partners.

Taft Property Ventures, after successfully developing homes for the Filipino community like Palm Heights, remains one of the foremost developers of quality housing projects. It currently works on the completion of its fourth project.

Groundbreaking

Last Oct. 4, the partnering firms converged for the groundbreaking and blessing ceremonies of the building which is located right beside City Sports Club Cebu (CSCC).

Doing the ceremonial concreting were Taft Property board of directors Margaret Ang and Frank Gaisano along with Cebu Holdings, Inc. President Rene Almendras, HSBC CEO Warner Manning, Wealthbank President Ben Villamor, contractor Engr. Norberto Labos of Labos Construction and Development (LCD), architect Abelardo Tolentino of RMJM, and Marilou Pintor of Grand Holidays.

The building’s glass windows, metal-framed foundation, 100% generator system support, sufficient parking, fine landscaping, guaranteed security, and consistent maintenance are collectively a proof of standardized operation.
