HISTORY
Alaminos began as a barrio of San Pablo City, which was then only a town belonging to the
province of Batangas. It was re-annexed as barrio of San Pablo which was then ceded to the province of
Laguna in 1902. It was not until about 1916 that Alaminos regained its status as a town and remained
within the political territory of Laguna. The municipality got its name after Spanish governor-general
Juan Alaminos y Vivar.

Business park is landscaped area in which are built offices, buildings for light industry, and the
like, served by roads, and where development is controlled by a master-plan. A good example is
Stockley Park, Heathrow, Hillingdon, London, developed to a master-plan by Arup Associates,
and containing buildings by Arup, Foster, Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, and others. Other
business parks include the Cambridge Science Park (1970s), and Aztec West, near Bristol

in the USA and France. ( A Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture 2000 )

Iloilo Business Park
loilo Business Park is a 72-hectare (180-acre) mixed-use master-planned community development in

Mandurriao, Iloilo City, Philippines by Megaworld Corporation. It is located on the site of Iloilo's former
airport, Mandurriao Airport, which the conglomerate acquired for 1.2 Billion Pesos from the Philippine
national government. Megaworld is projected to pour in 25 Billion for the entire development in a span
of years. It is an integrated township project that will feature a commercial district, a lifestyle mall, office
buildings catering to business process outsourcing firms, boutique and deluxe hotels, and a convention
center.
Initial development includes construction of a road network, the 12-storey Richmonde Hotel Iloilo and
Richmonde Tower, Festive Walk, Two Business Process Outsourcing office buildings. The IT complex has
been certified as an information technology park by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA),
granting locators perks such as tax holidays and duty-free importation of equipment among others.
Megaworld is setting aside a 9.7-hectare lot for the boutique hotel and commercial district which is
being offered to interested business owners.
Iloilo Business Park increased by an additional 18 hectares, bringing the project to roughly 72 hectares
from its initial 54.5 hectare-size. This is due to the increasing demand for residential and commercial
properties and good reception to Megaworld's first development in the region and biggest township in
the Visayas, modeled after the live-work-play approach that it claims to have pioneered in the
Philippines.

One Madison Place Luxury Residences is Megaworld's 1,700-square meter residential development
within Iloilo Business Park. It consists of three 10-story mid-rise towers along Megaworld Boulevard.
Lafayette Park Square is Megaworld's second condominium project within the business park. The 14-
story single tower features French and Spanish architectural designs.
The Palladium, introduced on October 2014, is cited to be the tallest modern luxury residential
condominium in Western Visayas. Standing 80 meters high at 22 stories, The Palladium will also be the
region's first residential tower with its own skygardens in various floors overlooking Iloilo. At the
topmost floor of the tower, there will be exclusive loft units ranging from 76 square meters to 115
square meters.
Office buildings
Three Megaworld office towers were initially developed to cater mainly to business process outsourcing
companies. They combine a total of 25,000 square meters of leasable space and could accommodate a
total of 10,000 employees. These are One Global Center, Two Global Center and the Richmonde Tower
which also houses the Richmonde Hotel Iloilo. Construction of two more office buildings, namely One
Techno Place and Two Techno Place, commenced last 2015 and are set to occupy a total of 19,000
