Enabling Trade at Scale: MEZ2 Estate’s Role in Cebu’s Export Growth
July 10, 2025
Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu — Strategically located right next to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport and with efficient access to the Cebu International Port, MEZ2 Estate is playing a critical role in Cebu’s export growth. Designed and developed by Aboitiz InfraCapital Economic Estates, and operated in partnership with the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority, MEZ2 is a 63-hectare PEZA-registered zone built to support businesses through reliable infrastructure, scale-ready facilities, and seamless trade connectivity.
Since its establishment, MEZ2 Estate has contributed a cumulative USD 9.24 billion in exports as of December 2024—a strong indicator of its value to export-oriented locators that rely on both air and sea freight to serve international markets.
“With its strategic location beside one of the country’s major international gateways, MEZ2 Estate gives exporters and logistics players a decisive advantage. Time and reliability are critical in trade, and our estate’s proximity to both the airport and the Cebu seaport allows our locators to respond to international demand with greater speed and flexibility.”
Built for Scale, Connectivity, and Reliability
MEZ2 Estate offers a range of ready-built warehouse spaces—from 3,500 to 40,000 sqm—as well as leasable industrial lots suitable for light manufacturing, export processing, and logistics operations. These are supported by dependable utilities including power, water, and telecommunications, and complemented by on-site PEZA and Customs offices that enable faster clearances and efficient export processing.
A premier base for export manufacturing and logistics in the Visayas, MEZ2 Estate powers global trade from Cebu.
The estate is home to over 40 locators and more than 12,000 workers across high-value sectors such as electronics, garments, medical equipment, and home furnishings—many of which require consistent connectivity to global supply chains through Cebu’s air and sea transport links.
A Fully Integrated Export Enabler
Beyond its physical assets, MEZ2 Estate operates as a complete industrial ecosystem, designed to support sustained growth and business productivity:
– iMEZ Building, a PEZA-accredited office hub for BPO, administrative support, and shared services
– The Outlets at MEZ2 Estate, the first true outlet retail destination in Visayas and Mindanao, offering global brands, dining options, and daily essentials
– A transport terminal that improves accessibility and mobility for the estate’s workforce
– Infrastructure backed by the Aboitiz Group’s capabilities in power, water, and telecommunications
With its robust foundation and expanding tenant base, the continued growth and long-term commitment of key locators reflect MEZ2 Estate’s strength as a dependable base for exporters and manufacturers—built for resilience, long-term value, and regional competitiveness.
With access to two of Cebu’s key gateways—Mactan-Cebu International Airport and the Cebu International Port—MEZ2 Estate stands as a vital contributor to the Visayas’ industrial momentum and a powerful platform for businesses scaling in the global market.
