LIMA Tower One, Batangas’ first premium office building, has reached a remarkable milestone, securing the second-largest office space take-up nationwide for the third quarter of 2024. According to the CBRE Q3 2024 Market Report, Conduent Incorporated, a global leader in business process services, has leased 9,000 square meters of office space, cementing LIMA Tower One’s role as a hub for IT-BPM operations in Southern Luzon.
Conduent, known for its expertise in customer experience management, healthcare claims processing, and digital business solutions, serves diverse industries including automotive, banking, and public sector services. Its decision to expand operations at LIMA Tower One highlights Batangas’ rising prominence as a premier business location outside Metro Manila. This lease represents 24% of all provincial office take-ups for Q3 2024, showcasing the growing preference for high-quality office spaces in well-connected provincial locations.
The CBRE report underscores Batangas’ emergence as a key player in the decentralization of the IT-BPM industry. Southern Luzon’s strategic location, robust infrastructure, and competitive workforce have positioned it as a prime destination for industry growth. As the country’s IT-BPM sector anticipates generating 1 million new jobs by 2028, Batangas is expected to capture a significant share of this demand, further driving the region’s economic progress.
