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 [1] and
biggest township in the Visayas, modeled after the live-work-play approach that it claims to have
pioneered in the Philippines.[7]

topmost floor of the tower, there will be exclusive loft units ranging from 76 square meters to 115
