SM Offices, the commercial leasing arm of SM Prime Holdings Inc., on Wednesday said that its 10-tower Clark Tech Hub complex in Pampanga had reached full occupancy, reflecting sustained demand for office spaces outside Metro Manila.
In a statement, the company said the more than 100,000-square-meter office development located within the Clark Special Economic Zone in Angeles City was now fully leased, with most tenants composed of global information technology-business process management (IT-BPM) firms and multinational companies under long-term contracts.
“The full utilization of Clark Tech Hub underscores sustained demand for global-standard, sustainable workspaces outside Metro Manila,” SM Offices head Alexis Ortiga said.
“It also affirms the strong positioning of SM City Clark Complex as a major regional business district. With major infrastructure projects improving access and connectivity, we believe SM City Clark Complex will become even more attractive to locators seeking high-quality workspaces outside Metro Manila,” he added.
SM Offices also announced plans to build Tech Hub Tower 11, a nine-story expansion that will add around 20,000 square meters of leasable office space to the complex.
Sustainability features in the Clark Towers include solar energy systems, water conservation measures such as greywater reuse and low-flow fixtures, indoor air quality enhancements, and waste management programs covering electronic waste, plastics, paper and used batteries.
Tech Hub Tower 11 will rise above the SM Clark Skylink terminal, which is expected to connect directly to Clark International Airport through the North-South Commuter Railway by 2028.
SM Offices parent SM Prime Holdings’ share price was unchanged at P19.00 each on Wednesday.
