Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, will transform its 794-hectare LIMA Estate in the Lipa-Malvar industrial corridor into a smart, next-generation, future-ready economic center and attract businesses and green development that would create tens of thousands of jobs.
Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, LIMA Land president and AIC Economic Estates head, said an additional 22,000 jobs are expected to be generated for the surrounding communities in the Lipa-Malvar, Batangas, following another 57-hectare industrial expansion to accommodate more locators in the LIMA Estate.
Early this year, AIC participated in a pilot program in partnership with the Philippine Green Building Council (PhilGBC) to secure the BERDE District Certification of the LIMA Estate.
Concurrently, it is also working with PhilGBC for the BERDE Building Certification of the LIMA Tower One, the first of seven multi-storey office buildings to be built at LIMA’s Central Business District, slated for completion in 2024.
“We’re putting our Environmental, Social, and Governance goals at the heart of what we do, to enable us to create resilient spaces where we can also ensure the overall health and wellness of our community and the environment,” Fernandez de Mesa said.
