International Workspace Group (IWG), the world’s largest provider of hybrid working solutions, is expanding its presence in the Philippines by over 50% with the launch of at least 17 new locations in 2025. The expansion, under Regus, HQ, and Spaces brands, will span key areas across the Philippines, including Makati, Cavite, Tarlac, Batangas, Tuguegarao, Ilagan, Antipolo, Santiago, Pampanga, Malolos, Montalban, and Rizal. The company’s commitment to providing accessible, flexible workspaces is reflected in its strategic design to meet the evolving needs of businesses and professionals in urban hubs and key regional growth areas.
IWG is redefining the workspace landscape in the Philippines by expanding beyond Manila’s central business districts, ensuring businesses nationwide have access to premium, flexible work environments. In Antipolo, IWG will open its first Regus center in partnership with Metro Retail Stores Group, Inc., in March 2025 by repurposing underutilized spaces to meet the growing demand for remote work solutions while supporting local talent, stimulating the economy, and contributing to community development.
In Lipa, Batangas, a region transitioning from agrarian roots to a thriving urban hub, IWG is set to open a center in South Supermarket in the first quarter of 2025 to serve the growing demand for nearby workspaces in the rapidly evolving CALABA region. With its strong business process outsourcing (BPO) presence, top-tier talent, and rapid residential and commercial growth, Batangas is perfectly positioned for flexible workspaces.
In Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Pampanga, IWG is also partnering with Aurora Subic Leisure Inc. to open a Regus center at Aurora Suites & Pavilion in the first quarter of 2025. Blending professional workspaces with coastal charm, this strategic location near an international port and airport positions Subic as a gateway for business expansion.
By bringing high-quality office space to these regions, International Workplace Group enables local people to experience living in a 15-minute city, allowing workers to work close to their homes without commuting far from where they live. The new IWG locations include private offices, meeting rooms, co-working, and creative spaces. At the same time, International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements.
Other upcoming centers include locations in Sinocan Corporate Centre in Paranaque (opening in May 2025), Tagbilaran, Bohol Centre (opening June 2025, in partnership with Tagbilaran Uptown Realty Corporation), Carmona Centre, and Victoria de Makati Centre (both are opening in the first quarter of 2025), Mabalacat, Pampanga center (opening in the first quarter of 2025), Xentro Mall in Batangas City, and Metro Shoppers Mall in Tarlac (opening July 2025, in partnership with XRC Resources Inc), and other key cities across Luzon such as Malolos, Tuguegarao, Ilagan, Montalban, Antipolo, and Santiago (also in partnership with XRC Resources Inc).
Building a national network is essential for fostering meaningful connections and reinforcing IWG leadership in flexible workspaces. IWG recently launched three new centers in Cagayan de Oro, Baguio, and Mandaluyong, bringing its total presence in the Philippines to 33 centers by the end of 2024, with plans to exceed 50 by the end of 2025. This extensive network of hybrid workspaces empowers businesses of all sizes, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that utilize them as launch pads to scale to regional, national, and even global levels.
Driven by the rising demand for a hybrid work model, IWG now offers the largest network of flexible working spaces across the Philippines and continues to expand. Mark Dixon, CEO & Founder of IWG PLC, commented: “The need for high-quality flexible workspaces continues to soar as hybrid working becomes the new normal. We are therefore pleased to announce the opening of these new locations in the Philippines in 2025 to meet this demand in both urban centers and key regional areas. Our workplace model is proven to increase productivity and enable businesses to scale up or down flexibly at significantly reduced costs.
These openings reinforce our commitment to supporting the Philippines’ dynamic hybrid work landscape and empowering its economic growth for years to come.”
With the widespread adoption of hybrid working, flexible workspaces are expected to make up 30% of all commercial real estate by 2030. Hybrid working can help reduce costs, with companies saving an average of USD11,000 per employee. IWG enables partners to capitalize on this fast-growing sector, offering unparalleled expertise and support with an annual investment of around USD 64 million in its technology platform. This model has enabled IWG Philippines to be one of the company’s best-performing markets globally.
With over 4,000 locations worldwide, IWG is the world’s leading provider of flexible workspace. IWG members enjoy seamless access to all its services via the IWG app. As hybrid working accelerates, the potential for further growth is exponential, with an estimated 1.2 billion white-collar workers globally and a total addressable market of more than USD 2 trillion. As businesses shift away from traditional office spaces, IWG added 800 new partner locations last year and now serves 83% of Fortune 500 companies. The multi-brand expansion strategy is designed to appeal to every type of business and entrepreneur. IWG creates personal, financial, and strategic value for businesses of every size, from some of the most exciting companies and well-known organizations to individuals and the next generation of industry leaders. They all harness the power of flexible working to increase their productivity, efficiency, agility, and market proximity.
