In a significant move for Cebu's commercial property sector, Topline Equity Corporation has officially appointed Leechiu Property Consultants Inc. as the exclusive leasing agent for office spaces at Bay Mall in Liloan, Cebu. This partnership was announced on November 20, 2025.
Strategic Partnership for Growth
Topline Equity Corp., the parent company of the listed Top Line Business Development Corp., has formed this strategic alliance to enhance the leasing operations of its three-story mall property. Eugene Erik Lim, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Topline Group, stated that this collaboration represents another pivotal step in the company's ongoing expansion narrative.
Lim emphasized that the partnership with a leading firm like Leechiu Property Consultants underscores their commitment to maximizing the potential of the Bay Mall property and contributing to the economic landscape of Metro Cebu.
Prime BPO Facilities in Liloan
Bay Mall is positioned as a premier destination for business process outsourcing (BPO) companies and other enterprises. The property boasts a capacity for up to 1,000 BPO seats, making it a substantial contributor to the local commercial space inventory.
The mall is equipped with several critical amenities designed for modern businesses, including:
- High-speed fiber connectivity
- Reliable backup power systems
- Elevator access for convenience
- Round-the-clock security services
Cebu's Enduring BPO Market Strength
Phillip Anonuevo, an Executive Director at Leechiu Property Consultants, commented on the strategic rationale behind focusing on Cebu. He affirmed that Cebu remains one of the strongest real estate markets for the BPO industry in the Philippines.
Anonuevo highlighted the specific advantage of the Liloan location, noting that it provides companies with access to a wider and often untapped labor pool. This is crucial for BPO operations that require a steady stream of qualified personnel.
While the primary target tenants are BPO companies, Chairman Eugene Erik Lim clarified that Bay Mall will also be open to other enterprises seeking high-quality, well-connected office space. This flexible approach aims to diversify the tenant mix and ensure the mall's sustained occupancy and vitality.
This development signals continued confidence in the growth of Cebu's northern corridor, reinforcing Liloan's emergence as a viable commercial and business hub outside the immediate metro area.
