History

The Araneta City Cyberpark is part of the Araneta City master plan unveiled in 2000, situated along Gen. Aguinaldo and Gen. Mc Arthur Avenues, primarily for BPO/IT office development. The first phase of the Cyberpark, which was completed on 2008, is composed of 7 low-rise buildings, housed by Telus, APAC, AGS, Agentworx, and Expert Global Solutions.[3]

As demand for office spaces grew and expanded over the years, a newer and updated master plan was finalised, consisting of 5 PEZA certified and LEED-approved towers, with 2 levels of retail (initially 5), surrounding an outdoor park,[4] and connected to malls such as SM Cubao, Ali Mall, the Gateway Mall 3, the Gateway Mall 2, and major transport hubs such as the LRT 2, the MRT 3 and transport terminals, attracting Business process outsourcing and corporate services companies.

Facilities

The building will soon be demolished in order to give way for the construction of the Gateway Mall 3, a 100,000 m2 (1,100,000 sq ft) expansion project of the Gateway Mall, and Cyberpark Tower 4. The future development will also feature additional retail and commercial spaces and a green, outdoor park.
