Bacolod’s First Green Office Tower: No. 1 Upper East Avenue Sets New Standards for Sustainable Development
I recently attended a press briefing that showcased the remarkable completion of No. 1 Upper East Avenue, Bacolod City’s first modern “green” office tower of Megaworld. This event was not just about unveiling a new building; it celebrated the region’s innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.

Walking through No. 1 Upper East Avenue, I was immediately struck by its commitment to sustainability. This building is Bacolod’s first office development registered for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The design incorporates various energy-efficient technologies, including:
- Energy-saving LED lighting throughout common areas
- Dual-flush toilets that conserve water
- Double-glazed windows for improved heat insulation and natural lighting
These features enhance the building’s ecological footprint and create a healthier work environment for its occupants. The tower has a 24/7 backup generator, ensuring operations remain uninterrupted even during power outages.

One of the most exciting announcements from the briefing was that No. 1 Upper East Avenue is expected to generate approximately 5,000 jobs for residents. This influx of employment opportunities is crucial for Bacolod, as it will significantly contribute to the local economy. The building will host three major companies: a New York-based business process outsourcing (BPO) provider, one of the Philippines’ largest insurance firms, and a leading distributor of wellness products in Negros.

Community Integration and Accessibility [ Bacolod’s First Green Office Tower ]
Strategically located along the six-lane Upper East Avenue, this office tower is part of a larger vision for the Upper East township. This master-planned development aims to create a harmonious, vibrant community where work and leisure coexist. The ground floor will feature a recruitment center, cafes, restaurants, and shops facing an expansive plaza that encourages interaction among tenants and visitors. The location is particularly advantageous as it is just a short walk from notable landmarks such as McDonald’s Upper East—dubbed the Philippines’ most beautiful McDonald’s—and Landers Superstore, the largest in the country.
