Commercial & Retail Space for Rent in Manila: what to know
Retail is the one commercial category where foot traffic decides the rent. Prime Metro Manila strips run ₱800 to ₱2,000 per square meter per month, while secondary locations and provincial commercial streets fall to ₱300 to ₱800.
Foot traffic is the product
A retail lease buys you the people who walk past. Count them yourself at the hours your business actually trades, on a weekday and a weekend, before you accept anyone else representation of the location. A cheaper unit one street off the main strip can carry a fraction of the traffic for eighty percent of the rent.
Mall, strip, or standalone
Mall space brings guaranteed traffic, marketing, and long operating hours, at the highest rent plus percentage rent in some cases. A commercial strip such as Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes or Kapitolyo in Pasig brings an established residential catchment at lower cost. A standalone building gives you signage, parking, and control, and puts the burden of drawing traffic entirely on you.
What you pay before you open
Expect three to six months of rent in cash before handover: a two to three month security deposit plus one to two months advance. That sits on top of your fit-out, equipment, and permits, and it is the figure most first-time retail tenants underestimate.
Before you sign a retail lease
- Count foot traffic yourself at your actual trading hours
- Confirm signage rights and where your sign can go
- Check power capacity, especially for food service
- Confirm grease trap, exhaust, and water provisions if you cook
- Establish whether percentage rent applies on top of base rent
- Verify the permitted use matches your business with the LGU
