A look at ALLHC’s Laguindingan Technopark
Launched in 2019, the Laguindingan Technopark stands as ALLHC’s inaugural industrial park in Mindanao, and is seamlessly integrated into Ayala Land’s master-planned mixed-use development, Habini Bay. Encompassing a sprawling 105 hectares, with Phase 1 covering 62 hectares and holding BOI registration, it is designed to cater to light and medium, non-polluting industries. It boasts complete land development, including road networks that were completed in 2023. Positioned strategically behind the Laguindingan Airport and approximately 36 km from the Cagayan de Oro Port, the Technopark enhances its appeal through accessibility from Cagayan de Oro City, the regional center, via the Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road.
The Laguindingan Technopark is one of ALLHC’s distinguished industrial parks across the country. ALLHC’s portfolio includes Laguna Technopark (Binan and Santa Rosa, Laguna), Cavite Technopark (Naic, Cavite), Pampanga Technopark (Mabalacat, Pampanga), and Batangas Technopark (Padre Garcia, Batangas). Each one shares a commitment to providing dynamic spaces for light and medium industries. Overall, ALLHC's vision is to foster economic growth, drive innovation, and create sustainable opportunities for businesses in the Philippines.
