Last September 28, Ayala Land, Inc.  broke ground for its first Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) campus in the city of  Talisay, Negros Occidental. The Ayala North Point TechnoHub is envisioned to be a fully-integrated Information Technology (IT) and IT-enabled services community designed for 24x7 operations.

When completed, the campus will consist of several BPO facilities with a total gross leasable area (GLA) of  approximately 40,000 square meters, supported by a retail component on the ground floor of each office building, all  within a 215-hecatare property that  Ayala Land is developing in the city.

"Talisay is one of the major growth centers Ayala Land would like to have a strong presence in," said Ayala Land senior vice president Marivic Anonuevo. 
"We are encouraged by the support of  the Talisay city government units and our partner, the Lacson  family, in facilitating the early start of this project."

According to Anonuevo, this project brings the success of the company’s existing environment-friendly developments such as the UP-AyalaLand TechnoHub in Quezon City and One Evotech in NUVALI, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, to the Talisay community.

The initial phase of the project will involve the construction of the first 2-storey building with approximately 4,500 square meters of GLA. It is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011.

Upon completion, the development is expected to generate more than 15,000 jobs for the local community from the BPO offices, retail establishments and support maintenance services.
