Building For Rent in Metro Manila Philippines

Most commercial leases in Metro Manila Philippines are quoted as base rent + CUSA (common-use service area) dues. Tenants typically shoulder utilities, internet, and association dues separately. Some landlords offer fitted "plug-and-play" spaces; others lease bare/cold-shell with a fit-out allowance.

Standard commercial leases run 3–5 years with renewal options. Anchor tenants and BTS arrangements may run 10–25 years. Escalation clauses (5–10% annual) are common. Always negotiate renewal terms and exit clauses upfront.

CUSA (Common-Use Service Area) dues cover the landlord's cost to maintain shared building services — security, lobby cleaning, lifts, common-area aircon, and corridor lighting. CUSA is charged in addition to base rent and varies by building grade.
