FLX by KMC Expands into Makati, Bringing Premium Flexible Workspaces to PBCom Tower

MAKATI CITY, Philippines — FLX by KMC, the joint venture between KMC Solutions and Filinvest Land Inc., is set to make its Makati debut with the launch of a premium flexible workspace at the 33rd floor of PBCom Tower in August 2025. The expansion marks the company's first joint venture location in Makati's Central Business District (CBD), positioning FLX at one of the country's most prestigious commercial addresses.

Located along Ayala Avenue, the new 1,400+ square meter facility will accommodate over 300 seats across premium modular private suites, coworking zones, collaborative lounges, and event-ready multipurpose areas. The move comes as demand for flexible workspace solutions continues to surge amid challenging market conditions for traditional office spaces.

Strategic Response to Market Dynamics

Makati continues to reinforce its position as the most sought-after office district in Metro Manila. In Q1 2025, vacancy rates in the Makati CBD stood at just 7.2%, with projections pointing to a further decline to 5.5% by 2026—an indication that premium space in the city’s core is becoming increasingly scarce.

At the same time, flexible workspace demand across Metro Manila has grown by year-on-year fueled by the rise of hybrid work models, cost-conscious expansion strategies, and the growing need for satellite team deployment. Makati has been at the forefront of this shift, leading all districts in leasing activity in Q1 2025 and doubling its take-up quarter-on-quarter—despite limited available inventory.

For FLX, this expansion into PBCom Tower isn’t just timely—it’s strategic. It places the brand at the heart of a high-performing district, at a moment when businesses are actively seeking premium, agile environments that align with how work is evolving.

“At KMC, our mission has always been to build the kind of workspaces we ourselves would want to grow in—efficient, flexible, and human-centered,” said Michael McCullough, Co-founder of KMC Solutions. “FLX takes that same philosophy and applies it at scale. By partnering with Filinvest, we’re transforming landmark buildings like PBCom Tower.”

Premium Amenities in the Heart of the CBD

The new FLX location will feature enterprise-grade boardrooms, executive meeting rooms, soundproof phone booths, premium coworking spaces, and breakout zones. Additional amenities include a curated wellness area with massage and locker facilities, a sleek reception area, branded pantry, and culture corner designed around business efficiency.

The facility's strategic location provides direct access to transport links, dining options, and major financial institutions, offering an accessible location for employees while positioning businesses at the heart of Makati's CBD.

Backed by KMC's end-to-end support model, FLX PBCom Tower will be fully managed, providing tenants with 24/7 IT, security, facilities, and administrative services. This approach enables faster move-ins, reduced operational complexities, and workspaces that evolve with growing companies.

The model caters to startups building their presence, enterprise firms establishing satellite hubs, and regional teams seeking premium space in a strategic location.

“Here, we don’t just operate space—we reimagine how entire floors can serve a broader range of tenants,” McCullough added. “Whether it’s private offices, proworking, or virtual office options, we bring a diversified mix of workspace offerings into buildings—helping businesses stay relevant and competitive in a fast-changing market.”

Expanding Footprint

FLX by KMC currently operates flexible workspaces on the 24th and 26th floors of Filinvest Axis Tower 1 in Alabang, serving a diverse portfolio of startups, SMEs, and enterprise teams.

The launch at the 33rd floor of PBCom Tower marks a pivotal expansion into Makati’s commercial core, unlocking new opportunities for businesses seeking a smarter, fully managed workspace in the country’s most iconic business address.

More than just a new location, this development underscores the joint venture’s continued commitment to reshaping the future of work in the Philippines—merging KMC’s workspace operational expertise with Filinvest’s deep real estate development capabilities.

As the demand for agile, experience-led workspaces continues to grow, FLX is set to expand across more strategic districts, empowering companies to scale faster, operate more efficiently, and attract top talent—all within spaces designed for performance and well-being.

Pre-leasing is currently underway for businesses looking to establish themselves at the center of it all.
