JOHNDORF Ventures Corp. (JVC) broke ground on its newest venture in real estate, a 21-storey building at the heart of Cebu Business Park across The Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu.

Designed to create healthy, highly-efficient and cost-saving green environment, Johndorf Tower will soon cater to the office space requirements of business process management locators and major corporations in the country.

JVC president and chief executive Richard Lim led the ceremonial groundbreaking on Feb. 21 at the site located beside Ayala Life FGU Center between Mindanao Ave. and Biliran Loop.

Johndorf Tower is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2021, according to Ed Byron Monares, Johndorf project development manager.

The tower can accomodate some 3,000 employees.

A Grade A building, Johndorf Tower will be JVC’s new home. It is a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (Leed) certified building, a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.

Planned to meet the Leed framework, tenants at Johndorf Tower will find it as a safe and secure environment that allows convenience and seamless accessibility with all systems designed to maximize energy efficiency.

JVC, a leading housing developer in the Visayas and Mindanao, has engaged top-of-the-league firms for the project like Jose Siao Ling and Associates for the architectural design and Monocrete Constructions Philippines Inc. as the general contractor.

The building will have 11 levels for office space leasing, five levels for podium parking, two floors as penthouse, separate garden and service decks, and the ground floor for dining and entertainment choices. (PR)
