MANILA, Philippines — Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) is strengthening its position in the Philippine office market after securing a major lease deal with flexible-workspace and business-services provider KMC Solutions.
KMC Solutions is set to occupy 9,800 square meters across four floors at GBF Center 1, further expanding its presence within Robinsons Land’s office portfolio. Business Inquirer reported the agreement as a significant addition to KMC’s footprint in the developer’s properties.
But the deal is bigger than simply filling additional office space.
KMC’s Robinsons footprint now exceeds 36,000 square meters
KMC Solutions recently disclosed that it already occupies 26,227 square meters across Robinsons Land developments. The additional 9,800-square-meter commitment at GBF Center 1 will bring its total footprint with Robinsons Offices to more than 36,000 square meters.
That makes Robinsons Offices KMC Solutions’ largest landlord partner to date, according to a recent KMC update.
The expansion also highlights the continuing importance of flexible and serviced offices as companies seek more adaptable ways to establish or expand operations in the Philippines.
Why the deal matters
The Philippine flexible-workspace sector has continued to expand beyond its pre-pandemic footprint.
Colliers reported that flexible-workspace operators added about 35,000 square meters of new leases, pushing industry inventory to approximately 267,000 square meters or 49,500 seats by the third quarter of 2025—above pre-pandemic levels.
KMC Solutions has been among the companies expanding aggressively, with its operations extending beyond traditional business districts into locations such as Cebu, Pampanga, Iloilo, Bacolod and Davao.
The company’s expansion across Robinsons properties therefore reflects a broader shift in how businesses are approaching office requirements: instead of committing immediately to conventional long-term corporate premises, companies can increasingly use flexible offices to scale teams and operations more quickly.
Bridgetowne and the changing office map
KMC already has a substantial presence in Bridgetowne, Robinsons Land’s mixed-use development along the C-5 corridor in Quezon City.
Its existing locations include KMC facilities in Robinsons Zeta Tower and Exxa Tower. Exxa Tower, for example, is a Grade A office building within Bridgetowne with approximately 75,000 square meters of gross floor area.
KMC’s presence in these developments underscores the growing role of areas outside traditional central business districts such as Makati and Bonifacio Global City.
For companies looking to recruit talent from Quezon City and nearby communities, strategically located office hubs can offer an alternative to the more established CBDs while maintaining access to major transport corridors.
KMC’s expansion comes amid broader Philippine growth
KMC Solutions describes itself as a provider of flexible workspace and offshore-team solutions, offering services that include employer-of-record support, recruitment, HR and payroll, legal and compliance services, and flexible offices.
The company’s recent expansion activity also points to continued demand for Philippine-based operations serving international companies.
KMC has highlighted the country’s growing global capability center market, while industry data cited by the company points to increasing interest in the Philippines as companies diversify their offshore and international operating models.
Robinsons Land continues to build its office portfolio
For Robinsons Land, the KMC agreement adds another major occupier to its commercial-property portfolio at a time when the company continues to focus on diversified real estate assets.
RLC’s latest corporate disclosures show that the company remains active across office, retail, mixed-use, logistics and other property segments. Its investor materials also continue to highlight the strength and diversification of its portfolio.
The KMC agreement is therefore significant not only for the tenant but also for the landlord: a large flexible-office operator taking additional space provides another indication that well-positioned office developments continue to attract demand.
The bigger picture
The 9,800-square-meter deal could ultimately prove more important as an indicator of where the Philippine office market is heading.
Flexible workspace is no longer limited to startups and freelancers. Large companies, offshore teams, multinational businesses and organizations entering new markets are increasingly using serviced and flexible offices as part of their expansion strategies.
With KMC’s Robinsons Land footprint now set to exceed 36,000 square meters, the partnership demonstrates how flexible-office operators and traditional property developers are becoming increasingly intertwined.
And with the new GBF Center 1 space still set to open, the next question is how much further KMC’s Philippine footprint—and the demand for flexible office space—can grow.
