Dasmariñas Technopark in 1996

Dasmariñas Technopark was developed from 1996 to 1998. The years preceding 1996 saw spectacular growth in the industrial sector and industrial lots were selling like hot cakes. First Cavite Industrial Estate, Gateway Business Park, Laguna Technopark and Carmelray to name a few were a big success. The success stories of the industrial park persuaded the owners of FIMA Realty to develop their property into industrial instead of residential.


During the first months of 1997 the brokers were able to sell nine lots even though development is still in the site grading stage. It looks like then that it will be a success just like the other industrial parks that were developed earlier. Even the other industrial parks were then planning for expansion while the First Batangas Industrial Park (FBIP) was in the planning stage.

Then in July 1997 came the Thai financial crisis that quickly evolved into the Asian Financial Contagion. Projects were put on hold, investors run away and a lot of real estate companies went under. The economic growth of the Philippines for the year 1999 was at 1.2%.

By 2006 or ten years after its inception the Dasmariñas Technopark was not even 30 percent sold. Luckily the development cost was internally sourced in the company without any bank loans hence it survived those ten years of low sales without going under.

Recovering my blog.

I created my first post about Dasmariñas Technopark way back in 2010 while I was jobless. Because I was searching for a new job abroad I was not able to create more post. Then I went to work in Saudi Arabia on September 2010 and became so busy I already forgotten this blog and the password and the e-mail address that I used. 

Today, 27 March 2013, while I was surfing google for something interesting I chanced upon my old post on this blog and found that there is one follower. I tried to recover the password and I succeeded so I decided to continue this blog. I think Dasmariñas Technopark is an interesting topic specially for those who worked there numbering in thousands.

As per my latest information, the number of factories operating in the technopark have increased in the last two years due to the economic upsurge in the Philippines. I am very have to hear this news because I was part of the Technopark for ten years. I was there during the downturn in the manufacturing sector hence it was so hard to sell industrial lots at that time. When I left in 2006 it was less than 25 percent occupied after ten years of marketing effort. It was a good thing that the developer has a very large cash hoard that they were able to sustain years of losses without going under.
