Seems like the style of hybrid working is not going anywhere anytime soon. And with that comes the farther popularity of co-working spaces. Aside from pocket-friendly yet posh office spaces, the co-working option also allows you to access a diverse network of entrepreneurs you can collaborate and work with to push your business forward strategically.

As the Philippines continues to evolve as a hub for business and innovation, the demand for flexible office spaces is expected to increase. The rise of freelancing, remote work, and the gig economy means more businesses and entrepreneurs are seeking affordable and efficient workspace solutions. Regus is at the forefront of this shift, with its vast network and wide range of services designed to support businesses in every stage of growth. 

One of the chicest ones among the recently launched co-working spaces in Metro Manila is the Regus one at the AMA Tower in Mandaluyong City. The new Regus office has comfortable co-working spaces, private offices, meeting rooms and creative spaces.

Under the International Workplace Group (IWG), Regus is reportedly one of the largest providers of hybrid working solutions in the world. With explosive market growth as companies of all sizes adopt hybrid working for the long-term, it is predicted that 30% of all commercial real estate will be flexible workspace by 2030. IWG is the world’s leading provider of flexible workspace – featuring nearly 4,000 locations in more than 120 countries with members able to access all the locations and business services via the International Workplace Group app.  

The new Regus location in Mandaluyong City through the AMA Group is part of the drive to provide top class facilities in a wide variety of locations as hybrid working becomes a reality for more workers. This opening follows a partnership agreement with the AMA group, which is the building owner that has invested in the International Workplace Group platform to create a branded flexible workspace in their building.

Dr. Amable Aguiluz V , Chairman of AMA Group of Companies / AMALAND , expressed his insights, stating, “The inauguration of the Regus center at AMA Tower marks a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to foster innovation and adaptability within the Philippine business landscape. By collaborating with International Workplace Group, we are providing entrepreneurs, SMEs, and multinational corporations with state-of-the-art facilities that cater to the evolving demands of the modern workforce. This partnership not only enhances the flexibility and productivity of our tenants but also contributes to the economic growth of Mandaluyong City and the nation as a whole.”

“Our opening in AMA Tower comes at a time when more and more companies are discovering that flexible working boosts employee happiness and satisfaction, while helping the environment. Our workplace model is also proven to increase productivity and allows for a business to scale up or down at significantly reduced costs,” he added.

The Regus AMA Tower center is the latest addition to IWG’s extensive network in the Philippines, which now includes 32 centers across various key cities, including 23 locations in Metro Manila. With a footprint that spans from Metro Manila to regional hubs like Baguio City, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo, Davao, and Cebu, IWG’s flexible office solutions are increasingly becoming the workspace of choice for businesses of all sizes. As of 2024, IWG operates 23 centers in Metro Manila alone, with more partner sites planned across the country in the coming years. 

The location comes on the heels of International Workplace Group signing 465 new locations globally in the first half of 2024, and posting record revenue, cashflow and earnings growth

“We are excited to open our newest center at AMA Tower,” said Lars Wittig, Senior Sales Vice President for IWG Asia-Pacific. “This launch is part of our ongoing efforts to provide businesses with greater flexibility, enabling them to thrive without the burden of long-term commitments. With coworking spaces continuing to rise in demand, we believe that Regus AMA Tower will provide a much-needed space for entrepreneurs, SMEs, and even large multinational corporations to grow.” 

The AMA Tower center features state-of-the-art facilities designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce. From flexible office solutions to private meeting rooms and coworking spaces, the center is geared towards businesses looking for professional and inspiring work environments.
