‘Focus’ is the way to go

In the Q1 2024 report of Colliers, flexible workspaces remain popular, especially among firms implementing hybrid work arrangements and those seeking short-term leases.

The professional services and investment management company sees the strategy of leasing co-working spaces being adopted not just by companies in Metro Manila but also by firms in other attractive office hubs including Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Laguna, Pampanga and Cagayan de Oro. It adds that this trend should be explored as the concept of “work from anywhere” continues to gain traction.

Lanson Place Mall of Asia Manila’s Focus is a 24-hour co-working space for entrepreneurs and creatives looking for a hub to tick off everything on their to-do lists.

Located on the hotel’s third floor, Focus has a size of 288 sq. m., a ceiling height of 4.10 m, and a seating capacity of 48.
