Latitude Corporate Center is a landmark 24-storey office tower located on Mindanao Avenue within the Cebu Business Park, Cebu City. Developed by BL CBP Ventures, Inc.—a joint venture between Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) and Borromeo Bros. Estate, Inc.—the tower was completed in 2021 as a premier financial and IT destination. It stands as a notable addition to the skyline of Cebu’s largest ICT hub, offering 35,000 square meters of gross floor area designed to support local and multinational enterprises.
Architectural and Green Building Excellence
The tower is master-planned by the renowned architectural firm AIDEA Philippines, Inc. It features a distinctive “stacked building blocks” aesthetic with a 60% glass-to-wall ratio that maximizes natural light. The building is officially recognized as the first 5-star BERDE (Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence) certified commercial building in Cebu City, reflecting its status as a leader in sustainable development. Key eco-friendly features include a rainwater collection system, a material recovery facility, LED lighting throughout, and 20% dedicated green space, which includes a ground-floor tree sanctuary and live walls in the lobbies.
Strategic Location
Situated in the heart of the Cebu Business Park, the development offers high-level accessibility. It is positioned directly across from Ayala Center Cebu, providing tenants with immediate proximity to major retail, dining, and lifestyle amenities. Its central address within the 50-hectare IT economic zone makes it a highly desirable location for companies seeking integration into Cebu’s primary business ecosystem.
Building Specifications and Capacity
The 24-storey structure is engineered for high-density corporate and BPO operations. It houses 83 units with leasable areas ranging from 51 square meters up to 2,000 square meters. The building is supported by eight high-speed elevators, with dedicated elevator configurations for BPO and standard office zones to manage traffic efficiency. For vehicle access, the property provides 246 parking slots across five levels.
Vertical Zoning Strategy
The tower utilizes a stratified vertical programming model to cater to different business tiers:
- Retail Level (Ground & 2nd Floor): Dedicated to support services, dining, and retail concepts for the convenience of occupants.
- BPO Offices (8th to 12th Floors): Specifically configured for large-scale, high-intensity IT-BPM operations.
- Enterprise Offices (14th to 16th Floors): Tailored for mid-sized corporate entities.
- Executive Offices (17th to 24th Floors): Designed for smaller professional firms and executive suites.
Technical Features and Amenities
Latitude Corporate Center is equipped with mission-critical infrastructure, including 100% backup power with additional N+1 redundancy for BPO-designated floors. It maintains a centralized Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air conditioning system for common areas. Tenant-centric amenities include a sky lounge on the 14th floor, a landscaped garden deck on the 17th floor, and a grand entrance plaza. Security is managed through a comprehensive Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) and 24/7 CCTV surveillance.
Accreditation and Leasing
The building is PEZA-registered, providing qualifying IT and BPO locators with access to fiscal incentives. While originally brought to market through an exclusive partnership, leasing and sales are now managed by a network of accredited real estate brokerages and the developer’s internal leasing team. The building’s combination of Grade A specifications, PEZA status, and 5-star BERDE certification makes it a premier choice for businesses prioritizing both corporate prestige and environmental sustainability.
