Modern design and amenities

The office layouts are thoughtfully planned to support high-density operations with scalable configurations and BPO-grade floor plates—a first in the city. Tenants benefit from sweeping views of the Cuernos de Negros mountain range and the majestic Mount Talinis, which create an inspiring backdrop for work. Additionally, inclusive design features such as spacious ramps and a dedicated 1:1 elevator per floor ensure accessibility and comfort throughout the facility.

Cybergate Dumaguete’s topping off signifies an exciting new chapter for the business landscape of Dumaguete and the greater Central Visayas Region.

A deep talent advantage and seamless connectivity

Cybergate Dumaguete leverages Dumaguete City’s rich academic heritage and skilled workforce. Prestigious institutions like Silliman University and Negros Oriental State University continue to produce graduates proficient in business, IT, and engineering—skills highly sought after in the BPO sector.

The project’s location within the Robinsons Dumaguete complex enhances daily commuting with minimal traffic congestion and a dedicated public transport terminal serving Negros Oriental and neighboring provinces. Being just 15 minutes from Dumaguete-Sibulan Airport, and with ready access to ferry services linking Cebu and Bohol, the site offers excellent connectivity for both local and regional business travelers.

Sustainable innovation

Sustainability is at the heart of Cybergate Dumaguete. The development features a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air-conditioning system, energy-efficient LED lighting, and low-emissivity glass windows that help reduce energy consumption by blocking heat while allowing natural light. Additional eco-friendly measures include a rainwater harvesting system for irrigation and toilet flushing, dual piping systems, and low-flow fixtures that conserve water.

Reflecting on the building’s sustainable design, Go noted, “Cybergate Dumaguete is a well-planned premium development that answers the needs not only for today’s workforce, but also of future generations. Its sustainable design ensures operational efficiency and the potential for lower utility costs for our tenants. This is all part of our unrelenting dedication to environmental stewardship and to delivering future-ready, high-performance workspaces that meet the evolving needs of our partners and locators.”

Regional impact

Robinsons Land Corporation continues to drive progress across Central Visayas with a range of residential, commercial, and retail projects in Bacolod, Iloilo, and beyond. Cybergate Dumaguete aligns with the broader vision of decentralization, supporting the trend of reverse migration and encouraging businesses to expand beyond congested urban centers. Recognized as a “Next Wave City” for BPO investments, Dumaguete is rapidly emerging as a service-oriented hub, poised for long-term growth.

As Cybergate Dumaguete rises, it embodies the resilience, innovation, and unity of Central Visayas—furthering Robinsons Offices’ commitment to inclusive growth, sustainable investment, and nation-building.
