International Workspace Group (IWG), the world’s largest provider of hybrid working solutions with brands including Regus, Spaces and HQ, is expanding its presence in the Philippines by over 50 percent with the launch of at least 17 new locations in 2025.
The new locations span key areas across the Philippines including Makati, Cavite, Tarlac, Batangas, Tuguegarao, Ilagan, Antipolo, Santiago, Pampanga, Malolos, Montalban and other parts of Rizal.
It said it achieved the milestone in partnership with local partners and investors, highlighting the company’s commitment to providing accessible, flexible workspaces as hybrid work gains momentum and becomes a reality for more workers.
IWG said it expects to have more than 50 Philippine locations by end-2025 or over 50 percent more than the 33 at the end of 2024.
It said that as the adoption of hybrid working rapidly accelerates, demand for flexible workspaces surged, driving a sharp increase in enquiries for IWG locations.
These new centers are strategically designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses and professionals, not just in urban hubs but also in key regional growth areas.
IWG said it is redefining the workspace landscape in the Philippines by expanding beyond Manila’s central business districts, ensuring businesses nationwide have access to premium, flexible work environments.
IWG will open its first Regus centre in partnership with Metro Retail Stores Group Inc. in Antipolo in March 2025 by repurposing underutilized spaces to meet the growing demand for remote work solutions while supporting local talent, stimulating the economy, and contributing to community development.
IWG is also set to open a center in South Supermarket in Lipa, Batangas, a region transitioning from agrarian roots to a thriving urban hub, in the first quarter of 2025 to serve the growing demand for nearby workspaces in the rapidly evolving CALABA region.
With its strong business process outsourcing (BPO) presence, top-tier talent, and rapid residential and commercial growth, Batangas is perfectly positioned for flexible workspaces.
In Subic Bay Freeport Zone, IWG is also teaming up with Aurora Subic Leisure Inc. to open a Regus centre at Aurora Suites & Pavilion in the first quarter of 2025.
Blending professional workspaces with coastal charm, this strategic location near an international port and airport positions Subic as a gateway for business expansion.
By bringing a high-quality office space to these regions, International Workplace Group is enabling local people to experience living in a ’15-minute’ city, allowing workers to work close to their homes without commuting far from where they live.
The new IWG locations will include facilities including private offices, meeting rooms, co-working and creative spaces, while International Workplace Group’s Design Your Own Office service allows companies to tailor their space entirely to their requirements.

IWG recently launched three new centers in Cagayan de Oro, Baguio and Mandaluyong, bringing its total presence in the Philippines to 33 centers by the end of 2024, with plans to exceed 50 by the end of 2025.
