Driven by the rise of hybrid work, companies are increasingly turning to coworking spaces as strategic platforms for growth, collaboration, and innovation. In the Philippines alone, demand for flexible coworking hubs surged by 83% in 2023, according to Colliers. Meanwhile, data from the Global Workspace Association shows that communities offering curated events achieve 30% higher member satisfaction and retention, underscoring how flexible hubs are reshaping the modern workplace.
Seizing this momentum, Zero-Ten Park Philippines, an international pioneer in coworking and community-driven office environments, has expanded its footprint to Makati City with the launch of The Company Makati at Frabelle Business Center, Legazpi Village. The new site marks the brand’s first location in the country’s financial capital and serves as a flexible, future-ready hub for businesses navigating the hybrid era—combining plug-and-play convenience with scalable office solutions.
“The demand we’ve seen proves how valuable collaboration spaces are in the Philippines,” said Masaki Suguro, Founder and CEO of Zero-Ten Park. “Expanding to Makati has always been part of our plan, and with hybrid work driving rapid growth in coworking, now is the right time.”
Building a Community at the Heart of the Financial Capital
Makati, which contributes over 30% of the country’s GDP and hosts more than 800,000 registered businesses, offers the ideal environment for startups, hybrid professionals, and freelancers seeking flexible workspace options. The 9,284-square-foot hub is designed to grow alongside its members—offering coworking desks, private offices, and virtual office setups that adapt to evolving business needs.
“Coworking is a plug-and-play setup without the burden of fixed contracts. Startups can start small, build their teams, and expand as needed. This adaptability is exactly what companies are looking for in Makati today,” shared Jessel Lisondra, Branch Manager of The Company Makati.
A Growing Regional Network of Innovation Hubs
From its first hub in Cebu in 2017, Zero-Ten Park Philippines has expanded into a regional powerhouse with locations in Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States. The company has consistently demonstrated its agility—most notably when it provided 300 seats for Concentrix within just three weeks. Backed by Zero-Ten Park Japan, Zeroten Park Fukuoka, and Fukuoka Jisho, it continues to evolve as a global coworking platform offering businesses both space and opportunity to scale internationally.
“Through our spaces, we aim to give professionals, especially young people, exposure to executives, startups, and creatives so they can dream of a different life,” said Joy Garingo-Dela Serna, General Manager of The Company Philippines.
Looking ahead, Zero-Ten Park Philippines is set to expand into other prime business districts including Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Ortigas, as well as regional hubs like Davao, bringing its community-driven coworking model to more professionals across the country.
Empowering Startups, Artists, and Corporates Alike
Beyond providing workspace, The Company invests in programs that nurture innovation and inclusion. Its Startup Incubation Program, developed in collaboration with Startup Island PH and Fukuoka Growth Next, equips founders with mentorship and networking opportunities. The Artist-in-Residence Program integrates creativity into everyday work environments, while Employer of Record (EOR) services simplify HR, payroll, and offshore hiring for expanding firms.
Through its Coworking Operatorship, The Company also partners with property owners to transform underutilized areas into thriving ecosystems. Regular hackathons and bootcamps on AI, cybersecurity, and blockchain develop new talent, while women-focused initiatives and a Collegiate Discount Program make innovation more accessible to diverse communities. A dedicated Japanese Desk further enables cross-border collaboration and bilingual business support.
Members enjoy multi-location access across The Company’s Cebu IT Park and Mandaue hubs, as well as its global network abroad.
Accelerating Startups with Global Partnerships
In partnership with gener8tor, one of the leading accelerators in the United States, The Company will soon introduce pre-accelerator and accelerator programs to Southeast Asia. These initiatives will connect startups with funding, mentorship, and investor networks—transforming coworking spaces into launchpads for global growth. Gener8tor’s experience running innovation cohorts across the U.S., Europe, and Asia strengthens The Company’s mission of empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs.
