Gokongwei-led real estate developer Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) plans to open more ‘work.able’ centers across its developments to address the growing demand for flexible workspaces, including in the provinces.
RLC, through its office development and leasing arm Robinsons Offices, recently opened its 14th work.able center at the GBF Center 1 in its Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Pasig and Quezon City.
RLC senior vice president and business unit general manager Jericho Go said that several more work.able centers are in the company’s pipeline, including at least three more within the year.
For next year, Go said that the company ‘will definitely build more,’ with work.able’s future expansion to include provincial locations as well.
‘That’s the plan because some of the demand is coming from the province already. So still Metro Manila, but also demand in the province,’ he said.
‘Be assured that we will continue to grow the business because there is demand for it. So we are not growing it for the sake of growing it. We have received demand for provincial work.able sites where we have a presence in as Robinson Land. So it will really depend on the demand, but as much as we can, we would like to have that presence to be able to bring offices closer to where people live,’ Go said.
Robinsons Offices intends to expand the work.able brand to high-growth areas to reinforce its position as a trusted partner for businesses and a catalyst for growth in the country.
Robinsons Offices’ work.able provides plug-and-play and build-to-suit workspaces, catering to clients seeking private offices, co-working spaces, conferencing facilities and event venues.
‘We are very demand-driven. So, we look at and listen to what the market needs, and then we supply it, because we also want to be conscious of our capital expenditures. We don’t want to speculate. We want to make sure that there’s a demand for space and then get into that space and serve that demand,’ Go said.
Robinsons Offices has also recently inaugurated GBF Center 2, a 30-story premier office development that will serve as a strategic gateway for global firms seeking a future-ready address in Metro Manila.
The 30-story premier office development in Bridgetowne Destination Estate will serve as a strategic gateway for global firms seeking a future ready address in Metro Manila, with each floor offering 2,800 square meters of flexible office space designed to cater to tenant layouts and evolving business needs.
