Filinvest REIT signs up Singaporean BPO firm

Singapore-based Gear Inc. will debut in the Philippines through one of the buildings of Filinvest REIT Corp., the real estate investment trust arm of the Gotianun group of companies.

Established in 2007, Gear has a workforce of more than 6,000 employees from East, South, and Southeast Asia, North and South America and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Gear offers business process outsourcing services to drive business growth by investing in technology, people, and operations.
In a joint statement on Wednesday, FILRT said Gear signed a lease agreement with them for 1,993.1 square meters in Filinvest One Building at Northgate Cyberzone in Filinvest City, Alabang.

FILRT said the accord has an expansion option within the same establishment—a Grade A, Philippine Economic Zone Authority-accredited office building.

“This lease agreement reflects our dedication to providing world-class office spaces that attract companies in the technology sector,” FILRT president and CEO Maricel Brion-Lirio said.
