West Cebu Estate

West Cebu Estate, located on Cebu’s western coast, is recognized as the Shipbuilding Capital of the Philippines and one of the country’s premier industrial developments. Established in 1992, this 540-hectare special economic zone under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority is a partnership between the Aboitiz Group and Tsuneishi Holdings. It hosts a range of global enterprises and provides employment to over 14,000 skilled Filipinos engaged in medium to heavy industries, making it a key driver of economic growth in Balamban and nearby areas such as Toledo and Asturias.

Over the past three decades, West Cebu Estate has evolved into a leading investment hub and is now transitioning into an industrial-anchored mixed-use estate that supports a broader range of businesses beyond shipbuilding. The estate is backed by reliable, self-sustained utilities, including a dedicated 13.8KV power distribution line from Aboitiz Power and water production and wastewater treatment facilities capable of delivering and processing up to 2,500 cubic meters daily—ensuring efficient, sustainable, and future-ready operations for its locators.
