History

In the late 1980s, the Cebu provincial government headed by Governor Lito Osmeña sold its 45-hectare property used as the Club Filipino golf course to the Ayala Corporation. [3] The Cebu Business Park was launched in 1989 with 100 commercial lots for sale, with Ayala Corporation, through its subsidiary, Cebu Holdings, retaining spaces for their own development. [4] The development features for the Cebu Business Park were incorporated into the 1990 zoning ordinance of Cebu City. Land development work on the business park was completed in 1992. [3] The very first building to rise in the park was the Cebu Holdings Center, an office condominium nine stories high, followed by Ayala Center Cebu in 1994, and a Marriott Hotel in 1997 (now a Seda Hotel). [4]
