International Workspace Group (IWG), the world’s largest provider of hybrid working solutions with brands including Regus, Spaces, and HQ, is expanding its presence in the Philippines by over 50% with the launch of at least 17 new locations in 2025. These centres, under Regus, HQ, and Spaces brands, span key areas across the Philippines including Makati, Cavite, Tarlac, Batangas, Tuguegarao, Ilagan, Antipolo, Santiago, Pampanga, Malolos, Montalban and Rizal.
As the adoption of hybrid working rapidly accelerates, demand for flexible workspaces has surged, driving a sharp increase in inquiries for IWG locations. These new centers are strategically designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses and professionals, not just in urban hubs but also in key regional growth areas.
Championing Inclusive Growth Through Partnerships
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 centre 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 centre 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 centre 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 is enabling 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 will include facilities for private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces, while International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements.
Other upcoming centres 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 centre (opening in the first quarter of 2025)
- Xentro Mall in Batangas City
- Metro Shoppers Mall in Tarlac (opening July 2025, in partnership with XRC Resources Inc)
- Other key cities across Luzon such as Malolos, Tuguegarao, Ilagan, Montalban, Antipolo, and Santiago (also in partnership with XRC Resources Inc).
Expanding Reach, Empowering Businesses
Building a national network is essential for fostering meaningful connections and reinforcing IWG leadership in flexible workspaces. IWG recently launched three new centres in Cagayan de Oro, Baguio, and Mandaluyong, bringing its total presence in the Philippines to 33 centres 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 centres and key regional areas. Our workplace model is proven to increase productivity and enable a business 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.”
