Tall buildings, busy pedestrians rushing off to work, and speeding cars are typical scenes during rush hour in central business districts (CBDs) in Manila. Workers rush off to conventional or serviced offices in different parts of the CBD. High-ranking corporate officials occupy executive offices within skyscrapers in different parts of the city. Listed below are some of the top CBDs in the city where a businessman can look for an office space for rent (Manila).
1. Makati CBD. The status of this city as the premier financial district of the country was established way back in the 1950s. It is located on the streets of Gil Puyat, Ayala, Chino Roces, and other streets surrounding the area.
A number of shopping malls and banks anchor this area, and the presence of the Philippine Stock Exchange establishes this area as the premier financial district. In addition, upscale gated communities also surround this district, such as Urdaneta and Dasmariñas Villages, and Forbes Park. Business owners can find many conventional and less-than-conventional office spaces in this area.
2. Ortigas Center. Second only to Makati but the district is, by no means, inferior to Makati when it comes to great traditional and executive offices. Business owners and their employees who occupy these workplaces will enjoy its nearness to major shopping malls, such as The Podium, Robinsons Galleria, Shangri-La Plaza, and SM Megamall.
Buildings such as Jollibee Plaza, Raffles, Tektite Towers, and Orient Square can be found in this area. Hotels, schools, hospital, and call centers are abundant in Ortigas. There are also offices in buildings that can be leased immediately for a day or two, or even several weeks or months.
3. Bonifacio Global City. This highly urbanized area in Taguig was a former camp of the Philippine Army. Since it was sold to investors, the area underwent fast growth. Today, several shopping centers, upscale condominiums, and office buildings line the streets of Bonifacio Global City.
The area is also the latest home of many call centers and others in the business process outsourcing field. On top of that, businessmen can look for the top offices here as many of the buildings built here are relatively new.
4. Eastwood City. This is located in the eastern side of Quezon City and is near the province of Rizal, as well as the cities of Marikina and Pasig. Although a bit smaller than the first three central business districts, this area is highly developed and it is an eclectic mix of residential and commercial buildings. Finding the best office space for rent (Manila) is easy in this place as there are a lot of still unoccupied offices and more buildings are being constructed.
Looking for a conventional office in these central business districts is an easy task. Currently, the task of searching for serviced office and even virtual offices just became easier still, thanks to the internet. Business owners do not have to roam around the city looking for the perfect place to house their venture. At the click of the mouse, they instantly have an office in these progressive financial centers.
