New SM office building caters to BPOs

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Property developer SM Prime recently opened its FourE-com Center office building in the Mall of Asia complex.
According to Alexis Ortiga, SM Prime VP for Commercial Properties Group, the construction of the new office building is supported by “return-to-office policies, take-up of office spaces driven by e-commerce, BPOs (business process outsourcing), and data centers, and demand for innovative and sustainable office solutions that necessitate growth in the real estate sector.”
The FourE-com Center is Pre-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold-certified and offers more than 100,000 square meters (sq.m.) of leasable area spread across three towers of 15 floors each.
Aside from businesses, SM Prime also envisions the office building to carry a variety of mid-to-high-end restaurants catering to diverse food cravings and entertainment.
“FourE-com Center is dedicated to optimizing business operations while minimizing the impact on the environment by integrating ESG-sensitive strategies from construction to operation,” SM Prime added.
