The site of where the Cebu IT Park is on used to be the site of the old Lahug Airport, which opened in 1938 before suspending operations in 1966, when Cebu's airport was transferred to the island of Mactan. One event of historical note occurred on February 19, 1981, when Pope John Paul held an open-air Papal Mass on the airport's runway.
The airport was finally closed in 1989, after it was acquired by Cebu Property Ventures, Inc., a subsidiary of Philippine property developer Ayala Land, just a couple of years after the same developer acquired the nearby Club Filipino golf course (which would later become the site of the Cebu Business Park). It was approved by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) board as an economic zone on April 6, 2000. On February 27, 2001, Presidential Proclamation No. 12 made it an Information Technology Special Economic Zone.
Construction on eOffice One, the first office modules in Cebu IT Park, began in 2001 and opened in 2002. It was later closed down and demolished.
Opened on the site of Office One in 2019, Ayala Malls Central Bloc is the second Ayala Mall in Cebu and is the first major retail establishment within the property. Also located adjacent to the mall's complex is a Seda Hotel and two office buildings, with the whole Central Bloc complex serving as Ayala's mixed-use development centerpiece of the business park, similar to its larger neighbor Ayala Center Cebu, which is located in the center of the larger Cebu Business Park that is just nearby.

Read moreIt park may be the closest thing to a first world type, condo living district in cebu. With condo renting 25k per month and up and Streets are wide and modern. Every fast food and restaurant food is here either within it's very own ayala mall with plenty of taxis in front or finding a bite along every street within this somewhat enclosed nine square block area.
For more of a street food vibe check out the area directly behind mcdonald's or in front and caddy corner to mcdonald's, you have sugbo mercado, an open air outdoor area with 50 plus food drink and dessert booths. Slightly muddy when raining but great music in the evening and a bunch of tables and chairs to sit and eat.
Every coffee shop you can imagine and many call centers with their workers and everyone else able to get coffee and food 24 hours a day somewhere close by.
Previous condos i've lived in cebu, the immediate surrounding area would go dark by 10:00 p.m. so the 24 hour aspect of it park is something i really love and all though you can grab cocktails at the top of seda towers or at the local filipinos favorite called pipeline, if you want to be surrounded by the party crowd then this may not be the place for you but rather than that it's quite perfect for me after 6 months of...
