Jacques Dupasquier, The Net Group's Chairman, came up with the visionary boutique office concept in 1999 and, together with partner Carlos Rufino, seized the potential in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to make the vision a reality. "Our idea was to offer a unique concept, a boutique office building where you can go every day, you are cared for, people know you by name, and the service, ultra-personalized," says Dupasquier, a French Filipino who, with his family, also owns a string of boutique hotels in Europe. "I treat each one of my tenants as individual guests and provide them a unique service by segmenting their needs."

Carlos Rufino, President of The Net Group, made a commitment in 1999 together with partner Jacques Dupasquier to focus development within BGC. As the former Senior Vice President for Business Development for BGC, Rufino knew first-hand the potential of this former military base that was converted to private use.

Today, BGC has become the jewel in the crown of the boom city of Taguig and is the preeminent emerging business district of the country. Its carefully crafted design is based on city master plans from across Europe and the U.S. Taguig's close proximity to existing central business districts and residential areas of Makati, elevation (20 m. above sea level), world-class infrastructure, and city management grant it a distinct geographical and strategic advantage over other cities in Metro Manila.

The Net Group - An Evolving Revolutionary Venture

The Net Group, named in 2010 as the “Entrepreneurship Team of the Year” by the Asia CEO Awards, is setting new benchmarks with Net Park - but this furthering sustainability as a scorecard. Founded and led by the entrepreneurial partners Jacques Dupasquier (Chairman) and Carlos Rufino (President), the group pioneered the “boutique IT office building” concept in the country with their Net One Center, Net Square, Net Cube, Net Quad, Net Plaza, and Net Lima developments in Bonifacio Global City. Net Park is the seventh in this series of intelligent office buildings owned by the group, which remains the biggest office developer in Bonifacio Global City with 54.5% of the gross leasable office in the area. With its unique workplace lifestyle and aesthetic, The Net Group's buildings are currently occupied by Fortune 500 companies and prominent corporations like JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, GE, Intel, Oracle, Ericsson, and Quisumbing Torres (Baker and McKenzie).
