Real estate consultant Colliers said the majority of survey respondents chose shopping malls as ideal locations for flexible workspaces, half of whom prefer free parking.
Colliers conducted the poll at its Philippine market briefing, which had 300 respondents.
Colliers rounded the survey saying flexible workspace operators should consider occupying space in transit-oriented retail developments to entice more mall goers to take up flexible workspace.
“It also appears that developers need to continue offering flexible and extended payment terms to drum up interest in Metro Manila’s primary market, especially with nearly 30 percent still opting for a condominium unit within a central business district as their next residential investment,” Colliers said.
Developers should also continue to be aggressive in offering innovative promotion programs to reignite interest in the Metro Manila pre-selling condo market, Colliers said.
In the same survey, the consultants also found that around half of the respondents were likely to travel to Palawan over the next three months, outranking other popular destinations such as Cebu and Boracay.
Plans to widen and modernize the Puerto Princesa International Airport should further raise Palawan’s travel and tourism competitiveness, as well.
”Hotel operators should remain active in capturing demand from domestic tourists that are enticed by impulse travel. Property firms should explore building either hotels or leisure-centric residential enclaves in popular destinations across the Philippines,” the consultants said.
