If you are a freelancer, start-up business owner, or a small company the word co-working spaces is no longer new for you. Well, at least there are some spaces that you can rent out to do your job. Whenever I am not into a corporate world, I used to do freelance work and sometime doing my task outside my nest is the best solution to my needs.

Let me tell you why? Because, I can save money, as well as I can network to other people.

You know what? I found a new place in Makati City where you can not only have a co-working space but a community. It’s called Spaces, SPACES offers a co-working space equipped with the latest business technology and high-quality furniture to create a beautiful and unique entrepreneurial environment that reflects the lively community of forward thinkers, innovators, and game changers in Manila. From a shared space, small offices to big offices they have it. They are also the first co-working space that occupy its own building and marks as the second Spaces in Manila following the success of its first Spaces center located in BGC, so I’m pretty much sure that they have what you need.




During my visit, I got a chance to have a one-on-one interview with International Workplace Group (IWG) Regional Vice President, Mr. Lars Wittig. According to him, their difference with other co-working space in Manila was they have a flexible workspaces solutions  and co-working hubs are an easy way to break into a new community and build lasting relationships. Employees enjoy a better work-life balance and increase productivity by doing work in environments that foster creativity and innovation.



SPACES in Makati Arnaiz is strategically located in the Makati Business District, enabling their clients to utilize a premium business address in one of Manila’s fastest growing business hubs. The Makati Business district, graced by luxury hotels and restaurants, has become a centralized development hub, benefiting from the businesses and amenities from established neighboring towns through connected public transportation. This allows people from all walks of life – entrepreneurs, small business owners, corporate entrepreneurs, and high-profile personalities – to enjoy what Spaces has to offer.




“More and more businesses are realizing that flexible working solutions"
 - Lars Wittig, IWG Regional Vice President.

With this increase of enterprises setting up their business in Manila, flexible workspace solutions play a huge role in creating opportunities for new entrepreneurs and visionaries to network and build connections to further their businesses. SPACES' new center will support this demand for flexible working, giving workers the opportunity to use our first-class business facilities when they need them.”
