Top 3 Best Access Grade A Office Properties in Metro Manila

Metro Manila is composed of 16 cities that contain most of the Central Business District in the Philippines. Being the country’s capital city, many investors and business owners put their companies in Metro Manila mainly because it's where the talent pool is. The problem however with Metro Manila is its lack of transportation infrastructure which affects a lot of business activities. Matter of fact, a 2019 study released by ADB reported that Metro Manila is the most congested among 278 cities in developing Asia.

Although the government is on its way to resolving this issue to promote the economy with its Build, Build, Build program, office developers which are mainly from the private sector, need to be more proactive to attract locators.

Here are the top 3 choices for Best Grade A Offices based on factors such as accessibility and lifestyle offerings within Metro Manila. Please note that this list is not in rank form and is subject to change should new office buildings come up or improve.

1. SM Mega Tower

First on the list is SM Mega Tower, one of the newest addition to SM Prime Holding’s growing roster of green buildings. It is located along EDSA and serves as the gateway to the exciting central business district of Ortigas.

SM Mega Tower features its very own Public Terminal Interchange (PTI) which is mostly catered towards their commuting tenants that ride PUVs or shuttle vans. It also has its own driveway that is located just beside main thoroughfare EDSA which makes it easy for the office occupiers to get picked up or dropped off.

SM Mega Tower is also within walking distance to two (2) MRT3 stations--Shaw Blvd and Ortigas Avenue--as it stands right in between.

SM Mega Tower is also a building that has direct access to SM Megamall, and is surrounded by other commercialized establishments like Shangrila Plaza Mall and Hotel, St Francis Square Mall, Robinson Galleria, and The Podium.

2. Vertis North

3. One Ayala

One Ayala is a PEZA BPO Grade Office Development with 3 office towers

Last but not the least, One Ayala is a mixed-use development that’s taken its name from its address, #1 Ayala Avenue, Makati. It is composed of 3-tower office buildings, a 4-star hotel, and a retail component that altogether connects to Ayala Center. Obvious of its name, it is also developed by AyalaLand and will serve as the gateway to Makati's Central Business District--Philippine's most important financial hub.

One Ayala features a new and modern three-floor, 20,000 sqm transportation hub that will serve as a terminal for north and south-bound buses, AUVs, and Jeepneys. It will also include a naturally-ventilated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Terminal for point-to-point buses. This BRT Terminal will feature wide bays for regular city buses, as well as a separate terminal for public utility vehicles. The BRT Terminal will also connect to the existing MRT Ayala Station, giving much more ease to commuting tenants.

Being at the forefront of the Central Business District, it is also surrounded by thousands of retail stores. It is highly commercialized with close proximity to Glorietta Mall, SM Makati, Landmark, and Greenbelt.

It is also within walking distance to 5-star hotel chains such as Dusit Thani, Holiday Inn, and Raffles & Fairmont Hotel, Makati Shangri-la, Discovery Prime, The Peninsula Manila, Ascott and to even more affordable ones such as Somerset and Astoria. With all of these considered, One Ayala without a doubt stands as one of the most accessible buildings in the area.

In conclusion, despite Metro Manila's traffic, there are actually work places that are easier to access than most. If you would want your employees to stay long and be more motivated to go to work, location and access should be of high importance when selecting your office space.
