Robinsons Land Corp. is expanding its office footprint in Bridgetowne with a new 29-story tower scheduled for completion in 2028. The project is set to lift the company’s office space in the estate by about 17% and supports its wider target of reaching nearly 1 million square meters in the Quezon City-Mandaluyong-Pasig corridor by 2030.

Highlights

  • Robinsons Land's Bridgetowne One office tower will add 51,400 square meters GLA, increasing Bridgetowne estate's total office space to approximately 347,000 square meters by 2028.
  • The new 20-floor tower in Quezon City-Pasig targets LEED Gold certification, offers PEZA incentives to eligible locators, and supports RLC's expanding Manila office portfolio.
  • Recent leasing deals include a 9,800 square meter four-floor lease at GBF Center 1 to KMC Solutions, signaling strong demand in the corridor through Q3 2026.

Bridgetowne expansion plan and project features

As reported by BusinessWorld, citing Robinsons Land Corp. in a statement on Tuesday, Bridgetowne One will add 51,400 square meters of gross leasable area to the company’s existing office developments in the mixed-use estate spanning Quezon City and Pasig.

The new tower will rise along John Gokongwei, Jr. Boulevard at the corner of West Drive, near C-5 and Ortigas Avenue. It will have 20 office floors, eight podium parking floors, a basement parking level, a ground floor, a garden deck, and a service deck.

Once completed in 2028, the project will increase the office portfolio of Robinsons Offices, RLC’s office development and leasing arm, in Bridgetowne to about 347,000 square meters from more than 295,000 square meters across seven existing developments. The development is also targeting Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, Gold certification, while qualified locators within Bridgetowne IT Park may be eligible for incentives from the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, or PEZA.

RLC President and Chief Executive Officer Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio said the project is an investment in the future of the estate and in the organizations expected to operate there. She said workplaces help businesses grow, create opportunities for professionals, and support the development of communities and local economies.

Leasing momentum and corridor growth outlook

The office tower forms part of Robinsons Offices’ broader expansion in the Quezon City-Mandaluyong-Pasig corridor, where the company expects office gross leasable area to reach nearly 1 million square meters by 2030. Nationwide, Robinsons Offices currently operates 35 office buildings across 13 cities with more than 900,000 square meters of gross leasable area.

RLC also points to recent leasing activity in the second and third quarters of 2026 as a sign of demand in the segment. These transactions include a four-floor lease covering 9,800 square meters at GBF Center 1 with flexible workspace provider KMC Solutions, as well as another office leasing deal at The Jewel in Mandaluyong City, although the company does not disclose the size of that transaction.

Robinsons Offices Senior Vice-President and Business Unit General Manager Jericho P. Go says the groundbreaking reflects confidence in Bridgetowne, the Philippine office market, and future tenants planning to expand in the estate. RLC is the property development arm of JG Summit Holdings, Inc.

Our earlier coverage of planned Philippine sovereign bond reforms explained how a new pricing convention and expected inclusion in a major emerging-markets bond index could improve liquidity and widen foreign participation. We also noted that these market upgrades alone won’t guarantee stronger business investment, emphasizing that lower borrowing costs must be paired with fiscal credibility and broader structural reforms—especially deeper local capital markets, better governance, and productive infrastructure spending.
