i3 opens at IT Park
Monday, Dec 29, 2008

From Primary Properties, the leaders in high-tech building, comes the newest structure to transform the IT Park horizon.

Loaded with cutting-edge features, and sporting an extraordinary "wing" design created by the celebrated architects of Recio + Casas, i3 is a building that, in every respect, scales new heights.

i3, a combination of groundbreaking design and cutting edge features that please the most discerning IT locators, joins the IT wins as part of an Asiatown IT Park trio revolutionizing the way people work, play and live.

The building boasts of an unusual and very distinctive architectural feature: its leaning facade. The inclined frontage acknowledges the main road, Jose Marie del Mar Ave. The overhang on the top is 2.5 meters over a height of 50.5 meters. This beautiful spectacle of design is the work of highly esteemed architectural firm Recio + Casas.

Famed architect Bong Recio explains his vision: "With the success of i2, Primary Properties embarked on i3, and the challenge was to come up with an even more striking building, yet maintain a likeness to i2. After several trials, we simply decided to take one of i2"s "wings" and turn it vertically."

The "wing" concept is perfect for the dynamic, innovative image of i3. Never the one to stay on the boring side of business, Primary Properties constantly seeks new ways to thrill and connect with people.

The design is only the beginning. Inside, the building is packed with inimitable features that currently make it the best location ever for an IT business in Cebu. The bulding far exceeds the requirements for power supply with 150 percent backup power. i3 is one of the few buildings in Cebu to use the Busway power distribution system.

Office spaces at i3 offer the highest flexibility for occupants, with the ability to accommodate a wide range of area requirements from 200 to 1,000 square meters. Rising 17 floors, the building boasts of the most efficient space utilization, while maximizing the benefits of natural illumination and the view offered by such a height. Its top floor, called the 360 Peak, can accommodate private functions with an unmatched 360 " degree view of Cebu.

Safety is, of course, top priority. The building is structurally sound and NFPA compliant. Increasing demand for 24/7 food outlets has brought about the expansion of the Primary Properties Retail Row at i3. Jollibee and Chowking are now occupying its ground floor
