API first development AppleOne Equicom Tower stands as a testament to a partnership between two industry shapers - one in construction, the other in technology - built on a shared vision to bring forward Cebu and elevate work standards in the community.

Shortly following the success of its flagship, API recognized the opportunity to enhance the lives of Cebuanos by venturing into residential developments with Cebu’s very first gated condominium, AppleOne Banawa Heights. Sprawling over a 2.8-hectare property in a location that boasts of views of nature and the cosmopolitan skyline, the residential property understands the needs of the market to be connected to the energy of the city, and at the same time be grounded in a home that truly enriches their lives and their well-being.

Continuing its mission to enhance the living conditions in Cebu, API set forth to elevate the industry standards for luxury accommodation and open its doors to international markets with its most recent foray into premium developments. Multi-awarded development, The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort takes center stage in the country’s hospitality and housing industries. Nestled within a tropical sanctuary of sea and land, The Residences at Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort transforms everyday living experiences with carefully considered and thoughtfully inspired home dwellings, offering the modern conveniences of unparalleled services and 5-star hotel amenities.

Apart from its growing portfolio in residential developments, Mahi Center by AppleOne Properties is the company’s dive into the advancing information technology (IT) industry in Lapu-Lapu City. Strategically located in the Mactan Economic Zone and within close proximity to the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the development will rise as the next premier business and leisure destination in the area. AppleOne Properties, Inc. Mahi Center will be your gateway to a dynamic and vibrant Mactan as it will bring forth world-class experiences and quality accommodations, backed with the support of a globally- recognised hotel chain and excellent tenant mix, to the area.

With the goal of further diversifying its commercial portfolio in order to cater to a fast-growing segment of the market and an increasing demand for more workspaces, AppleOne Properties Inc. signs the first exclusive franchise partnership deal with IWG, a leading global provider of workspace solutions in order to bring and operate their premier brand of shared workspaces Regus to the entire Visayas region. Regus endeavors to help different forms of businesses and business owners, whether large corporations or small medium enterprises, find a space that works best for them and will allow them to thrive. With currently 2 locations situated strategically in the progressive business centers of Cebu: one in Cebu Business Park and one in Cebu IT Park, AppleOne Properties, together with IWG, will continue to develop more flexible workspaces and business solutions through the Regus brand in quickly emerging business hubs all around Visayas.

With the goal of furthering its corporate mission of enriching the lives of Filipinos while also seeking to elevate industry standards, AppleOne Properties saw the need to venture into a new sphere: healthcare, an industry in need of support and one with tremendous opportunity for growth in the country. AppleOne Medical Group (AMG), the healthcare arm of the AppleOne Properties Group of Companies, endeavors to provide better access to quality healthcare by strengthening its competency in the field of health and wellness, while delivering quality medical services with compassion to the communities. AMG seeks to incorporate the same distinct approach as its parent company (API), embodying passion and compassion in all its endeavors with the end goal of supporting its communities in the region through better healthcare services for all.

Having been incorporated during the early months of 2020, AppleOne Medical Group took an inaugural step forward with its acquisition of Visayas Community Medical Center (VCMC) in Cebu City and the early beginnings of a strategic partnership with the hospital’s founder, United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP), a Christian denomination formed in the Philippines. The hospital is a well-regarded institution in Cebu for decades now, as it was established in 1952 as a response to the medical needs from the second World War. With an alignment in values and social mission, VCMC will stand as a testament to both institutions’ mutual goal of transforming and uplifting Filipino communities through quality healthcare made accessible. The partnership for VCMC was made official last July 2020 through an intimate Joint Venture Signing Ceremony between AppleOne Medical Group and the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. This JV partnership, signified as AppleOne Visayas Medical Corporation, was formed with the purpose of managing and operating the Visayas Community Medical Center in order to revive and further bring forth the mission of the hospital to its communities. VCMC is in the process of transitioning into the new VisayasMed City Center, an integrated medical complex which will offer better, more modern and more convenient healthcare services and facilities to all stakeholders through the well-established VisayasMed Hospital and Medical Arts Building.

A month following its first hospital acquisition, AppleOne Medical Group also announced the addition of a second hospital — the United Shalom Medical Center (USMC), formerly Bethany Hospital in Tacloban, which has now been turned over to the leadership of both AMG and UCCP, will see its operations reinstated. Once a distinguished healthcare establishment in the area, Bethany Hospital had experienced the devastations brought about by typhoon Yolanda, like the majority of Tacloban had.

The hospital remains limited in its medical functions, operating as a medical laboratory for the time being, as it continues to be in the process of recuperation. With this partnership, the mission of USH can now be fully envisioned and materialized with the expansion of its services and modernization of its facilities, developing it to be the premier health and wellness facility for the Tacloban area.

The early beginnings of 2021 saw the continued advancement of the partnership between AppleOne Medical Group and UCCP for a third hospital, attesting to the company’s commitment to delivering tomorrow’s healthcare for the entire region. Brokenshire Integrated Health Ministries Inc. or Brokenshire Medical Center is well-regarded as one of the oldest serving hospitals in the city, having been founded in 1954. It continues to be an institution for and with the community. Together, AppleOne Medical Group, UCCP and Brokenshire will further elevate and bring forth a holistic healthcare experience to the region as it continues to expand its footprint outside of Cebu.
