Rockwell Land presents promising opportunities in booming Bacolod
The City of Bacolod is in the midst of an exciting period of growth and innovation.
Once highly dependent on its sugarcane industry, the highly urbanized capital of Negros Occidental has begun diversifying significantly over the last decade, embracing sectors like information technology, business process outsourcing (BPO), tourism, real estate, and entrepreneurship to fuel its growth. This diversification has not only opened up new job and business opportunities for the city, but has also prompted a shift toward a more robust, more resilient economy.
Today, Bacolod City remains firmly on the investment radar of both local and foreign investors. Its growing buoyant economy; improving infrastructure; favorable and globally competitive business climate; and available talent pool continue to position the City of Smiles as an attractive destination.
This is aptly reflected in the latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, which showed that in 2022, the economy of Bacolod City grew 9.8 percent, accounting for 0.67 percent of the national gross domestic product (GDP).
Flourishing industries
Among the booming industries in Bacolod today is the IT-BPO sector, which has since generated some 34,000 full time jobs for the city, according to data from Leechiu Property Consultants (LPC). This sector is, in fact, among the the reasons why Bacolod’s employment rate remains high today at 93.38 percent.
The consultancy firm even recorded substantial demand for office space, surpassing the 5,000-sqm mark in 2023 alone. As BPOs continue to expand here, the city offers a ready pool of skilled workers. According to LPC, Bacolod had in 2023 a total of 7,236 fresh graduates who can support the growing demand by modern industries including BPOs.
Also helping fuel the growth of industries here are continued improvements in the city’s infrastructure, including the expansion of the Bacolod-Silay International Airport Road and the Bacolod-Negros Economic Highway (Banoceh). Such projects do not only help improve connectivity and accessibility, but also boost land values in the province.Such developments continue to help improve the city’s overall livability, complementing the ongoing influx of national property developers eager to be part of Bacolod’s exciting growth story. These developers are capitalizing on the growing demand for quality residences, offices, and commercial spaces, while catering to the increasingly upscale tastes and preferences of the city’s residents.
