Makati City — Ayala Land Offices (ALO) reports continued demand, with AXON Group (AXON) securing a long-term lease in Makati. The company will occupy the building formerly known as Teleperformance Center Ayala, marking a new chapter for the asset as it transitions toward more diversified operations.
AXON is a vertically integrated workspace solutions group focused on transforming how companies design, build, and operate workspaces. By bringing together design, construction, technology, strategic sourcing, and capital under a single operating model, AXON helps organizations scale more efficiently while avoiding the heavy upfront fit-out costs, long delivery timelines, and fragmented coordination that traditionally slow workspace projects down.
AXON operates across multiple business units spanning design and build, managed workspaces, strategic sourcing, custom joinery, and workplace technology-enabled environments. Its partnership with Ayala Land Offices reflects a shared vision around the future of work, where thoughtfully designed, high-quality environments play a critical role in enabling productivity, collaboration, flexibility, and long-term business growth.
The transaction also reflects continued confidence in the Makati CBD market, particularly among companies seeking high-quality, well-managed developments that can support evolving operational and workplace requirements. As organizations adapt to changing workforce expectations and increasingly hybrid operating models, demand continues to shift toward premium office environments that offer long-term reliability, accessibility, and flexibility.
“We continue to see strong demand from firms that are evolving how they operate and invest in the workplace,” said Hamm Katipunan, President and CEO of Ayala Land Offices. “Companies today are looking beyond traditional office space. They are seeking environments that can support collaboration, flexibility, talent attraction, and long-term operational resilience. AXON’s decision to partner with Ayala Land Offices reflects a strong alignment in how both organizations view the future of workplaces and the role these environments play in supporting business success.”
“Companies today are rethinking what the workplace needs to deliver,” said Sherwin Dela Cruz, Managing Director of AXON Group. “Beyond location, organizations are looking for environments that support speed, flexibility, collaboration, and long-term operational efficiency. Our partnership with Ayala Land Offices allows us to bring together high-quality infrastructure and AXON’s integrated delivery model to support the evolving needs of modern businesses.”
AXON’s commitment reflects the growing demand for office environments that go beyond traditional workspace requirements. Companies today are increasingly seeking developments that can support collaboration, flexibility, talent attraction, and evolving operational needs within a rapidly changing business environment. Ayala Land Offices remains focused on developing high-quality workplace environments that support long-term business growth and evolving ways of working. As organizations continue to rethink the role of the office, premium developments in established business districts continue to play an important role in helping companies build culture, enhance employee experience, and operate more effectively over the long term.
