Zero-Ten Park brings its Global coworking network to Makati this September 2025

Zero-Ten Park Makati opens in Legazpi Village as a coworking hub that links Philippine teams to a multi-country platform that serves startups, creatives, and global teams with innovation-driven programs and curated networking.

Zero-Ten Park announced the opening of its newest coworking hub in Legazpi Village, operated as Zero-Ten Park Makati on the 11th floor of Frabelle Business Center. The site connects Manila’s business community to Zero-Ten Park’s multi-country network across Japan, the United States, Vietnam, Singapore, and the Philippines, giving teams a flexible base with programs, partners, and growth pathways.

Zero-Ten Park Makati is designed for startups, creatives, BPO teams, and multinational companies seeking a coworking space for rent in Makati that goes beyond desks and Wi-Fi. With private offices, coworking areas, event spaces, and innovation programs, the new hub extends Zero-Ten’s growing international ecosystem into the country’s financial capital.

“Opening in Makati gives founders, creatives, and global teams a platform that moves work forward,” said Listerlynn Joy Garingo-Dela Serna, General Manager of The Company Philippines. “Members receive more than a seat. They gain access to mentors, market entry support, and warm introductions across our network.”

“Makati strengthens the corridor between Japan and Southeast Asia,” said Masaki Suguro, CEO of Zero-Ten Park Philippines. “We are building reliable, hospitality-grade work hubs that help companies scale with confidence.”

From Cebu to Makati: Why Here, Why No

Metro Manila contributes over 30% of the Philippines’ GDP and is home to 800,000+ registered businesses, making it a strategic base for global expansion. Among its cities, Makati consistently ranks as the nation’s top CBD, with the highest concentration of headquarters, banks, embassies, and office space for rent in Makati.

Within Makati, Legazpi Village offers a unique balance: highly connected yet calmer than Ayala Avenue or Salcedo. Surrounded by cafés, cultural spots, and wellness spaces, it’s ideal for hybrid workers and creative professionals seeking both focus and community.

Built for How Teams Work

Zero-Ten Park Makati, also known as The Company Makati, is designed for flexibility. Whether you’re a freelancer seeking a productive workspace, a startup in need of a private office, or a multinational company requiring a branded space, the hub adapts to your needs. Private offices, hot desks, and hybrid setups give individuals and teams the choice to scale up or down as projects evolve. For larger enterprises, build-to-suit offices allow for customized layouts or fully branded environments—turning what could have been “just an office” into a reflection of your culture and identity.

For moments that demand deep focus, there are dedicated focus pods and telework rooms, built for distraction-free productivity. When collaboration or celebration is on the agenda, members can move seamlessly into meeting rooms and event spaces equipped with enterprise-grade connectivity and tools for both in-person and virtual gatherings. All of this sits within a sustainability-first design: the space incorporates repurposed materials and minimal-waste construction practices, making it a hub that is not only modern but also mindful of its environmental impact.

Programs that Turn Space into Outcomes

Aside from providing workspaces, members have access to operator-led programs and services designed to help build their capacity, and network:

The Startup Incubation Program, developed in partnership with Startup Island PH and the producers of Fukuoka Growth Next, connects founders to mentorship, resources, and networks that accelerate early-stage companies into sustainable businesses.

The Artist-in-Residence Program provides local and international creatives with workspace and visibility, integrating art and culture into the everyday life of the hub.

Employer of Record (EOR) Services make it simple and compliant for multinational companies to set up teams in the Philippines, removing the legal and logistical barriers to expansion.

The Company also provides specialized outsourcing solutions in offshore hiring, HR, payroll, and virtual assistance, enabling businesses to scale quickly and confidently while staying focused on their core operations.

Through Coworking Operatorship, The Company partners with developers and property owners, building not just revenue-generating coworking spaces but also the community programs that turn those spaces into vibrant ecosystems of startups, innovators, and creators.

True to its mission of inclusivity and collaboration, Zero-Ten Park Makati invests in programs that bring more people into the fold of innovation and entrepreneurship. Hackathons and bootcamps dive into frontier topics like AI, cybersecurity, and blockchain, growing local talent, and addressing real-world problems. Its female-focused initiatives provide women entrepreneurs, engineers, and creatives with mentorship, visibility, and access to opportunities traditionally harder to reach.

Recognizing that the next generation of leaders is already building, Zero-Ten Park Makati also offers a Collegiate Discount Program for university students. This lowers barriers for young founders and creators to access Makati’s premier business district—helping them plug into opportunities early.

And for the Philippines’ most active business partner, Japan, The Company has established a dedicated Japanese Desk, offering bilingual support to companies entering the Philippine market. This service ensures smoother cross-border expansion and deeper collaboration, tapping into The Company’s network of teams across Cebu, Makati, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, and Hawaii.

The Grand Launch

To mark its official debut, The Company Makati is hosting a full-day launch celebration, bringing together leaders, founders, and creatives to highlight the Cebu-grown brand’s expansion into Metro Manila. The morning begins with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Frabelle Business Center, followed by a press conference featuring Masaki Suguro (CEO, Zeroten Philippines), Joy Garingo-Dela Serna (General Manager), Jessel Lisondra (Branch Manager), and key community partners. Topics include coworking trends, why Makati was chosen, and the future of flexible work.

In the evening, the celebration continues with Work Link Mixer: Business Networking Night, a curated mixer designed for entrepreneurs, investors, real estate brokers, service providers, and policy leaders across Metro Manila’s central business districts. The program features a panel discussion with industry experts on the evolving nature of work, alongside a speed business matching session that introduces participants to potential partners in investment, branding, law, finance, and cross-border expansion. Guests will cap the night with cocktails, dinner, and live performances in an atmosphere that blends business with community.

Unlike traditional networking events, Work Link focuses on purposeful connections, with the community team facilitating introductions based on genuine business synergies. This approach reflects broader industry shifts: demand for coworking in the Philippines surged by 83% in 2023 (Colliers), while global data shows that communities offering curated events achieve 30% higher member satisfaction and retention (Global Workspace Association). The Company Makati’s launch positions its community at the center of these trends, offering not just space, but a true platform for growth.

Leadership in Action

“As branch manager, I want people to feel at home the moment they walk in,” said Jessel Lissondra, Branch Manager of The Company Makati. “Whether you’re here to focus, collaborate, or host, the space adjusts to you.”

Masaki Suguro, CEO of Zero-Ten Park Philippines, added: “Makati represents more than growth—we promise to give teams the tools, support, and connections they need, whether they’re just starting or scaling globally.”
