How Much Will It Cost You to Live In A Business District?

Metro Manila’s business districts are shaping the landscape of the country. One of the reasons that these areas are emerging left and right is because of the booming outsourcing industry. According to Doing Business 2016, an annual report that analyzes the business industry of each country, the Philippines ranked 60.7 on the “ease of doing business” category, a ranking that’s better than other neighbor Asian countries like Malaysia, who only ranked at 79.13. The rising IT-BPO industry in the Philippines has created the need for more business districts that are multi-functional, serving both commerce and real estate.

Want to live in one of these highly connected areas today? Here’s the lowdown on how much it will cost to live in the Makati Central Business District and other business districts in the country.

Makati Central Business District

Makati Central Business District (MCBD) is the leading business district in the country. Not only is it home to top companies, such as Philippine Bank of Communications (PBCOM), Bank of the Philippines Islands (BPI), and Ayala Corporation, but MCBD is known for having the top shopping centers in the country. Because of these big names, living in this business district is not cheap.

Here are the numbers according to Numbeo:
