After hitting 25 years, multi-awarded Kapampangan designer Marlon Tuazon has renewed his contract and ‘expanded horizons’ with JDN Realty Group, developer of Nepo Center, for another 25 years.

This monumental agreement solidifies a longstanding relationship built on mutual trust and commitment to excellence. JDN takes pride in witnessing the growth and success of the brand over the years with Nepo Center being the home of Tuazon’s atelier.

Award-winning Marlon Tuazon, the first designer to win double gold in Ternocon 2018, has been in a long term business relationship with JDN. He says that 2024 holds exciting times ahead. This summer, he is planning a fashion show, which will be staged through the sponsorship of JDN and Rockwell at Nepo Center.

“Hindi na tenant ang tawag diyan, matagal na masyado so partner na ‘yan. We expect this partnership to continue indefinitely. We should expect that is the first of the many activities to come to recognize our long-time partners..” said JDN Realty Group President and CEO Rick N. Wilkerson, adding “This partnership is not also just about the tenancy and the leasing relationship. It’s about collaboration. So earlier, we were talking about collaborating together on different events for the Nepo Center during the year and we expect that our partners like Marlon will take an active role in those activities and events.”

Asked why he chose to stay with Nepo for the last 25 years, Marlon Tuazon stated “I love the Nepomucenos, they’re like my family. Nepo is my second home.”

Sounding reminiscent, Marlon said “Having stayed at Nepo for 25 years, you know it’s a dream for me kasi I studied at Holy Family tapos dumadaan kami every day so I get to see Nepo so sabi ko, ‘Dito ako magkaka-shop.’ And paggising ko the other day, [naisip ko], ‘25 years na pala ako dito’ So it’s a dream come true.”

Meanwhile, Commercial Spaces Manager Rocky Torres shared the secret to a lasting partnership: “We take care of our tenants, and we see them as part of the family”.

“Second generation na lang si Marlon dito kasi own tenant namin is ‘yung mommy niya, si Adelaida, I think nag-start siya ‘noong 1972. So with this partnership of more than 25 years, it’s because we have a good relationship with our tenants” he furthered.

Nepo Center takes pride in providing exceptional property management services, tailored to meet the unique needs of each tenant.

Marlon Tuazon has dressed celebrities like Carla Abellana, Gabby Concepcion, Sarah Geronimo, Zsazsa Padilla, and Max Collins.
