Mactan Newtown, is a 30-hectare (74-acre) mixed-use, master-planned central business district located in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, Philippines.[1] It is the first integrated township development built by Megaworld Corporation outside of Metro Manila,[2] and caters facilities and establishments such as condominiums, hotels, business process outsourcing office towers, a lifestyle mall, a school, a convention center, and a beachfront.[3][4]
In 2014, Megaworld increased its investment on the township development from ₱20 billion, to ₱30 billion after forming a joint venture (JV) with Landmark Inc. for the development of an 11.5-hectare beachfront property, which expanded the Mactan Newtown development from 16.8 hectares to 28.8 hectares.[5][6]
