The facility comprises five ambient warehouses and ancillary buildings, constructed in two phases. 

Using Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) steel materials and a steel formwork system, Aboitiz Construction employed innovative approaches to ensure durability and efficiency in the project.  

Approximately 300 workers were employed during the construction, with 80 percent of the workforce locally sourced from Cebu. 

The initiative supported local economic growth and development while achieving over 800,000 safe man-hours, underscoring Aboitiz Construction’s commitment to safety and quality.
