In partnership with Sasaki & Associates Inc., a US-based master-planning firm known for its environmentally attuned design, even the future effects of global warming were considered in the masterplan of LISP IV such as the design of a storm management system that will withstand the highest recorded flooding in 100 years.

Moreover, LISP IV contains features that ave made SPPI's earlier industrial estates successful. These include strategic access; reliable power and water supply; state-of-the art telecommunications facilities and sustainability features such as a centralized wastewater treatment plant, drainage and storm water management system; 24/7 security and in-house fire fighting equipment and crew.

According to SPPI Chairman & CEO Guillermo D. Luchangco, LISP IV spans 200 hectares of real estate constituting the industrial portion of the 250-hectare Malvar Cybergreen, which also includes a 50-hectare area for commercial and residential development. About 35% of the original landscape was maintained or enhanced and the property's natural environment was protected.

"Even before the proclamation, we have already recieved a number of inquiries from big multinational companies and other big ticket investors. We expect more vibrant economic activities here as more buildings are constructed," Chairman Luchangco ended.
