Mahi Center: Shaping the Next Growth Chapter of Cebu

As Cebu continues to rise as a global hub for tourism, business, and investment, Mahi Center—owned and developed by AppleOne Group—stands ready to define the island’s next phase of growth.

Strategically located less than 10 minutes from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, this upcoming mixed-use development seamlessly integrates retail, office, and hospitality into one forward-looking ecosystem designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses, communities, and travelers alike.

A Catalyst for Cebu’s Economic Expansion

Despite high office and residential vacancies across Metro Cebu, Colliers Philippines notes the strong and sustained demand for mixed-use spaces that combine work, leisure, and lifestyle. Mahi Center answers this call by offering flexible, future-ready environments that encourage synergy, drive collaboration, and unlock diversified growth opportunities—positioning Mactan as the gateway of choice for the Visayas and Mindanao (VisMin) region.

“With Mahi Center, we are creating more than just spaces—we are creating opportunities,” said Leif Bajarias, Chief Financial Officer at AppleOne Group. “This development bridges business, leisure, and tourism, empowering partners to thrive as Mactan strengthens its place in the Philippines’ economic and tourism landscape.”

Where Leisure and Business Converge

At the forefront of Mactan’s transformation into a vibrant business and leisure hub, Mahi Center brings together locals, professionals, and visitors in a dynamic, interconnected environment.

Located near the Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZ), Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), and other key economic areas, Mahi Center is perfectly positioned to serve both local enterprises and global operations. Its accessibility makes it an ideal Business Continuity Plan (BCP) site for manufacturing firms, BPOs, and other industries seeking resilience and operational efficiency.

Anchored by renowned retail and dining brands—including Metro Supermarket, KFC, S&R New York Style Pizza, Abaca Baking Co., and Oretachino Curry Ya (Osaka’s first franchise in the Philippines)—Mahi Center delivers a premium experience that complements its world-class office spaces. These state-of-the-art work environments attract BPOs, startups, and established enterprises eager to leverage Cebu’s international connectivity while enjoying amenities designed for productivity and wellness.

More than a commercial hub, Mahi Center drives employment, stimulates economic activity, and elevates Mactan’s profile as a thriving destination for tourism, business, and investment—setting a new benchmark for integrated urban living.

Hospitality that Elevates Cebu’s Tourism and MICE Growth

Tourism remains one of Cebu’s strongest economic pillars, with the Department of Tourism identifying Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) as a key growth engine.

Rising within Mahi Center is Fairfield by Marriott Cebu Mactan, a hotel that merges comfort with convenience for both leisure guests and business travelers. With Marriott Bonvoy’s global network and flexible event spaces, Fairfield enhances Cebu’s standing as a premier destination for business and leisure travel—driving more foot traffic to Mahi Center and enriching the visitor experience in Mactan.

Building Resilience Through Mixed-Use Synergy

AppleOne Group has long championed resilient and diversified developments, as demonstrated by its landmark projects such as Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort, the upcoming JW Marriott Panglao Island Resort & Spa, and Radisson Blu Hotel & Residences Cagayan de Oro. These partnerships reflect AppleOne’s commitment to fostering long-term growth and global collaboration.

A recipient of the Best Mixed Use Architectural Design Award at the 11th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, Mahi Center embodies AppleOne’s vision of a vibrant, sustainable community where work, leisure, and lifestyle thrive together.

“Our vision is to build an ecosystem where work, retail, tourism, and hospitality fuel lasting growth for all,” said Jheng Caballero, Vice President for Leasing at AppleOne Group. “We invite visionary brands and partners to help shape Mactan’s future as a dynamic hub for innovation and opportunity.”
