Sodexo, a global leader in food services and facilities management, has entered into a strategic partnership with MyTown Co-Living, a network of 14 strategically located residential facilities near Taguig’s Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and the Makati Central Business District. This collaboration represents a pioneering approach to integrating modern living with workspace convenience, offering tailored solutions for today’s urban professionals and businesses alike.

Celebrating a Milestone: The Grand Opening

On June 28, Sodexo and MyTown celebrated the grand opening of Sodexo’s new commercial spaces within the vibrant MyTown community.

The event featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting attended by key stakeholders, including: Paul Debaprateem, Managing Director of Sodexo, Rohan Kichlu, Operations Director of Sodexo, Mark Kooijman, CEO of Philippines Urban Living Solutions, Inc. (PULS), and Jogee A. Arellano, GM & CEO of MyTown Co-Living.

This milestone marks a significant step towards enhancing urban living and workspace integration in central BGC and Makati CBD.

Strategic Partnership and Workspace Solutions

Central to the partnership, Sodexo leases commercial spaces and office rentals within MyTown’s dynamic co-living communities. These spaces cater to the diverse needs of businesses, from small startups to established corporations looking to expand their presence in prime urban locations.

“We selected MyTown as our commercial space partner for several compelling reasons,” explained Maria Lourdes Barraza, Site Operations Lead at Sodexo. “MyTown’s strategic locations near bustling business districts make it an ideal choice for our operations. Specifically, setting up a convenient cloud kitchen in MyTown allows us to efficiently serve our clients across central BGC (Bonifacio Global City). This proximity not only streamlines our logistical operations but also ensures that we can provide prompt and reliable service to our diverse range of food sites in the area.”

Enhancing Employee Living Experience

In addition to workspace solutions, Sodexo also leases corporate accommodation within MyTown for some of its employees. This dual approach ensures that Sodexo employees benefit from both convenient workplace proximity and high-quality living arrangements.

Mark Kooijman, CEO of Philippines Urban Living Solutions, Inc. (PULS), commented on the partnership, “This collaboration with Sodexo exemplifies our commitment to redefining urban living. By integrating commercial spaces with residential offerings, MyTown continues to set new standards for convenience and community living in Metro Manila.”

Beyond functional spaces, MyTown offers a vibrant community atmosphere with amenities such as recreational areas, gyms, pools, worklabs, KTVs, and more. These facilities are designed to promote a healthy work-life balance and foster networking opportunities among tenants.

The partnership between Sodexo and MyTown underscores a shared commitment to innovation and community building. By offering flexible and modern workspace solutions alongside residential accommodations, MyTown supports businesses like Sodexo in achieving their operational goals while enhancing the overall quality of life for their employees.

Jogee A. Arellano, GM & CEO of MyTown Co-Living, added, “We are proud to welcome Sodexo into the MyTown community. This collaboration not only enhances our tenants’ daily lives with convenient amenities but also fosters a vibrant ecosystem where businesses and individuals can thrive together.”
