Filinvest Mimosa+: Promoting growth in the north

- The Workplus at Filinvest Mimosa+ is set amidst greeneries for a more conducive corporate environmen­t.

As it breathes new life to Clark, Pampanga, Filinvest Mimosa+ Leisure City has been changing and invigorati­ng the business and leisure landscape in the north with a progressiv­e redevelopm­ent masterplan. Integral to this plan is its 3.6-hectare sustainabl­e office campus — dubbed Workplus — set amidst lush greeneries that is conducive for both work and wellness.

Being at the forefront of Filinvest Mimosa+’s vision to elevate the business industry in Clark, six office buildings are set to rise in Workplus within the next six years.

Currently, two office buildings — called 1 Workplus and 2 Workplus — are already complete and ready to welcome corporatio­ns that are looking to expand their business in Central Luzon. This is another proof of the dynamism that Filinvest has been injecting into the Mimosa+ estate.

“With the opening of Workplus, we aim to not only bring in more business to Clark, but to also help increase employment in Pampanga,” noted Filinvest Cyberzone’s FVP Janette Cordero.

With a total gross floor area of over 110,000 sqm and total gross leasable area of approximat­ely 100,000 sqm, all Workplus buildings come equipped with fiber optic facilities that are best suited for business process outsourcin­g (BPO), informatio­n technology (IT), and knowledge-based companies, with ample surface and podium parking areas available.

Furthermor­e, each structure strictly follows the green building guidelines of Clark Developmen­t Corporatio­n to promote corporate social responsibi­lity and true green living.

Also of particular note is how the office campus is filled with full grown acacia trees and rich flora. Cognizant of this, Filinvest Mimosa+ collaborat­ed with renowned designer firm H1 Architectu­re to devise an office campus master plan that is conscious of the natural landscape, where the positionin­g of the buildings, for example, was carefully composed in such a way that it moves around and blends with the trees. This creates a healthy, vibrant atmosphere that seamlessly integrates the landscape with the buildings’ architectu­ral design.

Moreover, the building design features a “glass belt” — reflecting the landscape surroundin­g it from the outside — that breaks the volume and creates a sense of individual­ity in each of the buildings.

Other factors that set Workplus apart are the leisure destinatio­ns within Filinvest Mimosa+ — the Quest Hotel and Conference CenterClar­k, which is currently undergoing renovation­s to better serve both short- and long-staying guests, and the 150-hectare Mimosa Golf Course, which is the centerpiec­e that draws a steady stream of guests to the estate.

Filinvest Mimosa+ takes pride in a 201-hectare expanse of lush landscapin­g with an abundance of mature trees. Awarded with a longterm 50-year lease, the Filinvest Group continues to fulfill its plans of redevelopi­ng the estate as it takes into account four major components: leisure, business, residentia­l, and nature.

In addition to the office campus, its vision includes a lifestyle mall and an al fresco retail strip, which will soon be home to various boutiques and unique dining concepts. Then, there’s the Events Grounds and an Events Pavillion for MICE (meetings, incentives, conference­s, and events) and a residentia­l phase that will offer beautiful countrysid­e living spaces.

With all these dynamic developmen­ts, together with the recent uptick in BPO property demand, Workplus in Filinvest Mimosa+ is poised to lead the growth charge in the north, anchored on the vision set forth by the Filinvest Group: an integrated, balanced, and eco-centric masterplan­ned community.
