MANILA, Philippines - The small business sector is growing and because of this, more and more people are now opting for an abode which could also double up as their workplace. After all, being close to the office and being your own boss are just some of the major attractions of a home-office or an enterprise run at home.

With this concept in mind, leading property developer Federal Land thus introduced a new concept in condo living that offers a more innovative and affordable way of owning a home and an office, all at the same time. Called “my HOBS,” which is short for my home, office, business andshopping, the concept is a home-office innovation being introduced for the first time at Federal Land’s residential high-rises in Quezon City called The Capital Towers, and at Paseo de Roces in Makati.

The my HOBS units at The Capital Towers and Paseo de Roces can be converted into an office, business or shop. Professionals can start their own business here by using it as a law office, a photography studio, a tutorial classroom or a dental clinic, for example. my HOBS can also be a space for an entrepreneur’s start-up business such as a flower shop or a small clothing store.
