International Workplace Group (IWG), the world’s largest flexible workspace platform, is expanding its footprint in the Philippines with the opening of five new locations in 2026, including the country’s first Humanly center dedicated to healthcare and wellness professionals.

The expansion includes four new HQ and Regus centers in Bohol, Lapu-Lapu City, and Taguig, alongside the Humanly APECO Super Health Center in Casiguran, Aurora.

The new locations are:

  • HQ Plaza Helena in Panglao Island, Bohol
  • Regus Island Central Mactan in Lapu-Lapu City
  • Regus Savya Financial Center in Arca South, Taguig
  • Regus Alveo Park Triangle Tower in Taguig
  • Humanly APECO Super Health Center in Casiguran, Aurora

Each workspace offers flexible office solutions for businesses of all sizes, including co-working areas, private offices, and fully equipped meeting rooms.

The Humanly APECO Super Health Center introduces a new workspace concept tailored for medical, therapy, wellness, beauty, and fitness practitioners. The facility features consultation rooms, therapy suites, treatment rooms, and reception areas, allowing professionals to operate in a fully equipped environment without the significant upfront investment and long-term commitments required for traditional clinics.

IWG said the Humanly concept reflects the evolving role of flexible workspaces beyond conventional offices by providing specialized facilities that cater to industry-specific needs.

The latest openings form part of IWG Philippines’ plan to add 29 new locations and expand its local network to 76 centers by the end of 2026, responding to the continued rise of hybrid and flexible work arrangements across the country.

According to IWG’s latest research, more than 83% of chief executive officers have implemented policies allowing employees to work from multiple locations. The company also cited the 2026 Asia Pacific Workplace Insights Report by Colliers, which found that 82% of organizations in the Philippines already operate under hybrid work models, while 32% plan to invest further in workplace improvements over the next year.

The report also projects that flexible workspaces could account for approximately 30% of commercial real estate by 2030 as businesses continue shifting toward decentralized operations.

“Businesses no longer want their capital tied up in fixed office space—they’d rather put that money into people, products, and growth, and let us handle the workspace,” said Rowena Natividad, Country Manager of IWG Philippines.

“Demand isn’t just coming from major cities anymore. It’s coming from suburbs, smaller communities, and rural areas, as people choose to work closer to home instead of losing hours to a commute. Our move to provide purpose-designed facilities for the healthcare and wellness sector reflects how the role of flexible workspace platforms is evolving. We’re past the point where these spaces are simply offices. They’re becoming essential infrastructure that enables growth across healthcare, enterprise services, and regional development alike,” she added.

IWG Executive Chairman Mark Dixon said the company continues to accelerate its global expansion as flexible work becomes a permanent feature of modern business.

“We’re already operating in more than 120 countries, and we intend to keep expanding, going deeper into markets around the world. Much of that growth is happening closer to where people actually live, so that millions of people can finally say goodbye to the long daily commute,” Dixon said.

“Flexible and decentralized working is a megatrend, and it’s permanent. Leading academic research points to somewhere between 30% and 40% of white-collar workers settling into this model for good. That’s why our industry is booming, and why IWG is growing faster than at any point in our more than 35-year history. The benefits for people, for businesses, and for the planet are becoming impossible to ignore,” he added.

Globally, IWG signed 1,132 new locations and opened 782 centers in 2025, marking the largest annual expansion in its history. The company serves 85% of Fortune 500 companies and now operates a network spanning more than 120 countries, with over one million rooms and a growing development pipeline supporting continued worldwide expansion.
