Capitol Central, previously called Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol Complex, is a government complex centered around the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol, currently co-managed with Ayala Land. Certain portions are leased or sold to Ayala Land, as part of their industrial estate in the City of Bacolod.
Capitol Central contains the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol at the core, along with the adjacent Provincial Administrative Center (PAC) and the Kadiwa Center, housing the Provincial Cooperative Office and a hostek. Negros Museum currently occupies the renovated former Agriculture Building, beside the Commission on Audit Regional Office. The Hall of Justice, Philippine Postal Corporation and the Negros Occidental Chapter of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines also occupies a gated compound.
Banking facilities also hold their regional offices in the complex, which includes Landbank of the Philippines, Veteran's Bank, Development Bank of the Philippines and the Philippine National Bank. The 7-storey PNB Center was recently renovated to house provincial government and regional offices, while renovations are ongoing for the PAC and Kadiwa Center.
Formerly, Fort San Juan (also known as the Negros Occidental Provincial Jail) occupied the outskirts and has been replaced by a mall complex, an extension of the earlier 888 Chinatown Mall. The jail complex was transferred to nearby Bago City, with the neighboring National Food Authority also planned to be vacated, as part of the Ayala development, and will also be located in a new complex to be constructed near the jail. Corazon Locsin Memorial Regional Hospital, the former provincial hospital, occupies southeastern portion of the property, adjacent to the University of St. La Salle College of Nursing. Meanwhile, the Negros Forest Ecological Foundation, Inc. occupying the lot between DBP and COA is planning to transfer its facilities in Panaad Park and Stadium and the township of Mambukal.
