Manila leads APAC in flexible workspace demand — report

The Philippine capital recorded a 51% surge in demand for flexible workspaces, making it the region's fastest-growing flexible workspace market for 2025, the company said in a statement last week.

"The city's strong talent pool and expanding commercial districts accelerated the shift to flexible workspace," it said.

Manila ranked ahead of Sydney, Australia (46% demand increase); Melbourne, Australia (34%); Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (25%); Tokyo, Japan (23%); and Shenzhen, China (19%).

Other cities in the top 10 were Hyderabad, India (9%); Auckland, New Zealand (6%); Singapore (5%); and Taipei (3%).
