SM Offices, the commercial leasing arm of SM Prime Holdings Inc., is expanding its Clark office footprint after fully leasing out its 10-tower Clark Tech Hub complex to meet rising demand for office space outside Metro Manila.
The Sy family-led firm said Wednesday that the more than 100,000-square-meter office complex in the Clark Special Economic Zone in Pampanga has hit 100 percent occupancy, with global IT-BPM firms and multinational companies locking in long-term leases.
The sellout has pushed SM Offices to launch Tech Hub Tower 11, a nine-story expansion that will inject another 20,000 square meters of premium office space into the already packed development.
“The full utilization of Clark Tech Hub underscores sustained demand for global-standard, sustainable workspaces outside Metro Manila,” said Alexis L. Ortiga, vice president and head of SM Offices.
“It also affirms the strong positioning of SM City Clark Complex as a major regional business district,” he said.
Sustainability and wellness features
Tower 11 will pack in sustainability and wellness features, including a 12,000-square-meter sky garden to boost employee well-being and collaboration — the latest attempt by developers to market offices as lifestyle spaces instead of just work sites.
SM Offices said the tower will also carry solar energy systems, greywater reuse, low-flow fixtures and indoor air quality upgrades designed to cut operating costs while making the property more attractive to tenants.
The company added that the project will include waste management and recycling programs covering paper, plastics, electronic waste and used lead-acid batteries.
The upcoming tower will rise above the SM Clark Skylink terminal, which is expected to link directly to Clark International Airport through the North-South Commuter Railway by 2028.
SM City Clark Complex
The wider SM City Clark Complex already houses SM City Clark, National University, SMX Convention Center and Park Inn by Radisson Clark, cementing the district’s push to become a self-contained business and commercial enclave.
