Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is now one of the fastest-growing Central Business Districts (CBD) in the country. This was not always the case as formerly it was just a military base until it was passed on to the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA), an institution that is set to transform army bases into premier centers of economic growth.
With the continuous interest of investors that go hand-in-hand with the development of this CBD, BGC has grown to be one of if not the top consideration of Multinational Companies (MNCs) and Domestic Corporations alike.
One of the first office buildings in BGC was One NEO, formerly called NET One Center which is a development of The NEO Group, one of the country’s largest developers and operator of green office buildings. The NEO Group is dedicated to transforming workplaces by offering excellent design, technology, and service which can give a one-of-a-kind and sustainable lifestyle experience. The firm’s office portfolio is the first to receive the WELL Health-Safety Rating in Southeast Asia, this rating is given to facilities that have satisfactory operational policies, maintenance protocols, stakeholder engagements and emergency plans which will guarantee the health and safety of their staff, visitors and other stakeholders.
