ANGELES CITY — JDN Realty Group has entered into a strategic partnership with PLDT Enterprise, the corporate arm of the Philippines’ largest telecommunications and digital services provider, PLDT, in a ceremonial signing held at the JDN Boardroom in Entec 1, Nepo Center.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in JDN’s regional expansion strategy, anchored on a shared vision of enabling sustainable growth through connectivity, innovation, and purpose-driven development.
This convergence of local real estate expertise and world-class telecommunications infrastructure demonstrates how regional development and corporate expansion are increasingly moving hand in hand, particularly in rising provincial cities across Central and Northern Luzon.
Under this agreement, PLDT’s fiber-powered solutions will be fully integrated into JDN’s landmark project, Nepo Mall Jaen, marking the company’s strategic entry into Nueva Ecija. This expansion represents more than geographic growth, it also signals JDN’s commitment to bringing comprehensive, digitally-enabled commercial spaces to underserved provincial markets.
Nepo Mall Jaen is designed as a community-centered development that serves the everyday needs of families, small businesses, and the wider Nueva Ecija community. The mall will provide easy access, consistent foot traffic, and essential services, from daily shopping to local dining and community gatherings, all powered by PLDT’s robust connectivity infrastructure.
The partnership ensures that PLDT’s high-speed fiber connectivity will support diverse tenant requirements, from traditional retail operations to emerging digital-first enterprises, BPOs, and tech startups. This infrastructure foundation is designed to provide both immediate operational reliability and long-term scalability as business needs evolve.

This collaboration reinforces both companies’ commitment to bridging the digital divide between urban centers and regional markets. For JDN Realty, the partnership enables the development of sustainable, people-centered commercial spaces that can support both local entrepreneurs and large-scale enterprises. For PLDT Enterprise, it represents an opportunity to extend cutting-edge digital infrastructure to more Filipino communities, creating new opportunities for economic growth.
The partnership’s arrival in Nueva Ecija signals that the province has reached a level of economic maturity that attracts major corporate investment and sophisticated business models. This development creates a foundation for long-term value creation that benefits all stakeholders from local businesses and entrepreneurs to the broader community.
As JDN Realty Group continues expanding its presence across key provincial locations, strategic partnerships like this one with PLDT Enterprise remain essential to achieving the company’s vision of creating commercial communities that are vibrant, connected, and built to last. The collaboration ensures that JDN’s developments remain competitive, relevant, and future-proof in an increasingly digital landscape.
