THE BEST COWORKING SPACES IN THE


PHILIPPINES
Check out the best Coworking spaces in BGC, Makati, Quezon City, Cebu, and Davao for
freelancers & entrepreneurs who are always on the go.

MARCH 19, 2019 BY AMIEL PINEDA (HTTPS://GRIT.PH/AUTHOR/AMIELPINEDA/)

As a full-time freelancer, I like working in co ee shops every once in a while.

Sometimes, you just have to break the monotonous routine of working at home.

And if you have kids at home (we have a toddler and a newborn), getting a break from
all the chaos of playing with and taking care of the little rascals is a godsend.

More importantly, working in a conducive environment helps bring out our best work
and boost our productivity to the roof (https://grit.ph/productivity/).

Co ee shops used to be the remote worker’s (https://grit.ph/remote-jobs/) (think


freelancers, homebased peeps, etc.,) go-to-spot when working outside—however—it
can be a hit or miss.

Sometimes you nd a true gem of a place complete with all the creature comforts and
faster-than-lightning internet (https://grit.ph/internet-plans/).

But these places tend to get packed quickly and you’re back to Google typing “best

So what’s the best place for people like me who wish to work outside and get topnotch
working experience?

Answer: Co-working spaces.

What is a co-working space?


Th bd “ ki ” “Th f h ki i b

https://grit.ph/coworking-spaces/ 2/25

The web de nes “coworking” as, “The use of an o ce or other working environments by
people who are self-employed or working for di erent employers, typically so as to
share equipment, ideas, and knowledge”

In other words: A place you share with others to get your work done.

How does it work?


If you ever tried renting a desktop computer in your friendly neighborhood computer
shop, it’s essentially the same concept.

But instead of hurling projectiles at each other in DOTA 2 (or whichever online game is
hot these days) or casually sur ng the web, you go to a coworking space to work.

You treat it as your own little corner space to get things done.

And most shared workspaces I’ve seen (and read about) are packed with all the stu
that people like me absolutely want.

What kinds of stu , you ask?

How about unlimited co ee, for starters?

Add in uber-fast wi , comfy seats and desks, superb overall ambiance, and better-than-
average amenities and you get the perfect working setup that beats regular o ce
cubicles by a long shot.

Some high-end shared o ce spaces feature beer taps, recreational and multimedia
rooms, and even a gym!

It’s like everything you can dream of in a perfect co ee shop and more—minus all its
cons (seats aren’t guaranteed, potential excessive noise, the sta sometimes gives you
awkward looks if you’ve been hanging out for some time).

Aside from that, the networking potential you’ll have (since you’ll be in a social setting
with other people) opens up a ton of possibilities for your work. Perhaps you can snag a
new client, get referred by others, meet other freelancers, etc.,

How Coworking spaces started


Its roots go back to the 90’s (the term for it then was “hackerspace”) and essentially
operated under the same principles.

Fast-forward to 2005, the rst o cial “co-working space” was launched in San Francisco
by a programmer named Brad Neuberg. He found business centers “unsocial” and
thought that home o ces fell into the trap of negative productivity (perhaps he too
found that there were too many distractions at home).

The Hat Factory is considered to be the rst dedicated co-working space (co-founded
by Neuberg along with 2 others) and the next few years saw the tech industry adopt
coworking spaces both in the US and European countries.

Today, WeWork is the largest coworking company based in the US that provides shared
workspaces across the globe.

In fact, they recently opened a 4000-sqm facility in Taguig, opening its doors to
freelancers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, small and large businesses. A second Philippine
branch will open in Makati.

In the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of coworking spaces
popping up all across the Philippines.

State of Coworking Spaces in the Philippines


In 2017, Colliers International projected a 10% growth in the coworking space market in
the Philippines. Their report, “Mining Millennials: Finding Gold in Co-working Spaces”,
found the increasing number of freelancers and online professionals as the main reason
for the rise of coworking spaces.

The report identi ed coworking spaces as the third type of “ exible o ces”, along with
Serviced O ces and Hosted Service Providers (BPO). While it takes the smallest share,
there has been a rapid increase in the number of coworking spaces being opened every
year (61% annually per this report (https://www.manilatimes.net/co-working-space-ph-

Why should you work in a coworking space?


Drawing from personal experience, I’d say the number one reason is that it provides
freelancers and other professionals a conducive place to concentrate and really focus on
their work.

While some might say that working at home is better since it requires zero costs and no
time is wasted commuting, they’re being oblivious to the fact that there are more
distractions at home. And more distractions almost always guarantees a dip in
productivity.

Startups and companies which can run most of their processes remotely will also nd
great bene t in the “per-use” nature of coworking spaces. They can opt to use it
occasionally only and save a ton in operating expenses.

People also use coworking spaces to conduct business meetings, do presentations,


client meet-ups, and all sorts of activities that bene t from a more professional setting.

Who works in coworking spaces?


Everyone can visit a coworking space. But the people you’ll nd hanging out here most
often are:

Freelancers

Full-time, part-time, work-from-home, remote worker—basically all types of freelancers


from various elds and niches work here.

Startups

Up and coming companies who need a place to run and bootstrap their operations.

Entrepreneurs

Solopreneurs, internet business owners, and the like.

What to look for in a coworking space?


Not all coworking spaces were created equal. Some will be fancier. Others, too basic.
However, there are a couple of essentials that you should always look out for when
checking out a new place. Here’s a quick checklist:

Safety and security – Check if it’s around a safe area and if the premises look
secured and have proper security personnel.
Maintenance – Refers to both technical support (for the wi and other similar
connections) and janitorial duties (for keeping the area clean and well-
maintained)
Wi speed – Most will have faster-than-average speeds. Connections should
at the very least be 50 Mbps if not higher.
Rooms and desks – How do the conference rooms fare in terms of space and
comfort? What about the quality of desks and chairs? You’d want to work
somewhere really comfy for long hours of work.

Overall ambiance – A vital component of a winning coworking space. It’s


actually one of the rst few things that will draw customers towards the
place.
Printer and stationery services – Nice to have especially if you need to print

https://grit.ph/coworking-spaces/ 6/25
7/23/2019 The Best Coworking Spaces in the Philippines – Grit PH

y p y y p
hard copies of documents and other paperwork
Cafeteria and Pantry – A well-stocked cafeteria complete with a wide
selection of beverages and snacks (and meals) is ideal.
Parking – It would be nice to have plenty of spaces for customer vehicles. In
fact, it could be a deal-breaker for some.
Accessibility – Is the place easy to reach? Is it near your location?
Back-up power – A guaranteed source of power is ideal and ensures your
work won’t get interrupted by power failures
Ventilation systems and heating – Is the AC too cold or weak? How’s the
overall air ow and temperature of the place?
Network signal and strength – It would be sad to turn away from an
otherwise great coworking space simply because your mobile phone’s signal
is weak. Still, one thing that you should check out.
Storage facilities – Do they have lockers or other storage facilities for keeping
your valuables? If you’ll be staying for long hours, you’ll probably bring more
than the usual amount of stu so this one’s good to have.
Restrooms – Are they clean and well maintained? Are they stocked with the
essentials?
Overall service – Are the personnel working at the place pleasant and warm
to its customers?

Things to consider when looking for a coworking


space
Each of us has our own preferences when it comes to our working environment. Here

https://grit.ph/coworking-spaces/ 7/25
7/23/2019 The Best Coworking Spaces in the Philippines – Grit PH

are a couple of things to keep in mind when checking out a new coworking space.

Community

Does the place provide some kind of “community vibe”? If it does, then that can be a
great sign. Unless of course you’re a soloist type and don’t really care for that type of
stu . Still, it’s one thing to consider as having a solid community of like-minded
individuals can help in boosting your creativity and opens up a lot of opportunities.

Pricing

Be mindful of costs. Check out their plans and packages and see if it ts your budget.
Aim for a nice balance between price and features. Look for your “must-haves” and try
to look for a place that gives you those features without breaking the bank.

Atmosphere

How does the place feel overall? When you rst saw it, did you get the feeling of
excitement of wanting to work there ASAP? Ultimately, the place’s working atmosphere
determines if it’s an ideal place to consider or not.

Coworking space pros and cons


Advantages of coworking spaces Disadvantages of coworking spaces

Great for productivity Can be pricey

You’ll have strangers working around


Excellent for networking potential you (lack of privacy)

Saves on operational costs (for business Some in-house events might be


owners and companies) distracting

Community support Can get crowded and feel too busy

Types of Desks in Coworking Spaces


The actual spot you’ll occupy and work on in coworking spaces are called “desks”. There
are 3 types:

https://grit.ph/coworking-spaces/ 8/25
7/23/2019 The Best Coworking Spaces in the Philippines – Grit PH

Hot Desk

Refers to stations or spaces that are available currently (for walk-in customers, for
example)

Fixed Desk

A desk that you exclusively “own” per your designated time slot.

Cabin or Private O ce

A dedicated room or space for teams, like a typical o ce suite

Coworking space pricing


How much should I expect to pay?

Expect to pay anywhere from Php 5,000 and up monthly for a “hot desk”. Fixed or
dedicated desks cost more due to exclusivity, adding a few thousand pesos on top of
the hot desk price. Private o ces rates will vary widely depending on the place, so best
to call the place directly for a quote.

Typical one-day pricing for hot desks starts at around Php 350-550 and more, depending
on how premium the coworking space is.
